Don’t Be Too Emotional ep10

So this show continues to surprise me. I don’t seem to be able to read where it’s going at all. Little Jane’s thinking throughout confused me a bit, but I loved the scenes in the bar and the car, and the facial expressions were great. Big Jane still makes me melt. But then…omg they brought in the truck of doom and my least favorite third-act trope: amnesia! I am so frustrated right now! I don’t mind watching Big Jane try to woo Little Jane again, but I don’t want to watch him and Dan fight over Little Jane anymore. Also I just feel like the characters have been through so much and now they have to start over?! Grrrr.

i just finished ep 6 and i feel you. i had just finished crying myself ugly, and now reading this, i want to give the writers a bop in the head lol. is the reason why they titled this like this, is because it will be an emotional ride? lol

@dora i'm still in ep 7 and i think it would've been better if little jane was the one to woo big jane this time

Indie Art Girl:

I agree with everything you said about this series. It was def harder to watch after the infamous EP 13. At the end I consoled myself with the fact we at least got a happy main couple ending. It coulda gone differently!

After going through that emotional wringer I'd like to see a HEA for Hu Yi Chen's next character to kinda help heal, lol.

I hope too.

Indie Art Girl:
Sooo...how much of this drama has romance, do u think? I wasn't interested in it cuz my impression is it's overall vibe is sports and slice of life, which isn't bad just not my fav combo.

I’d say romance isn’t the main focus. The sport and investigation take up more of the story, but there are hints of romance in every episode, if I remember correctly.

Indie Art Girl:
I've watched a lot of K-dramas over the years and I think it's both, but for sure they aren't feeling on the same level as they used to for the past year or two. I've even thought about going back to rewatch a few older favs instead of the current choices, cuz I'm feeling disappointed more often than not. Or at least more "ho-hum" about them.

I hope they can switch things up and release more good ones. I feel like this year, I’ve rewatched more older K-dramas than watched new ones. 😆

p43425:
On the whole (with a few notable exceptions), I would say the same about KBLs over the last year or two, i.e. they largely don't engage me like they used to a few years back.

I think so too my highest KBLs are from 2024.

It may be premature to say this after only 5 of 11 episodes, but "Popular Serizawa Acts Weird Around Me" (Gaga) is well on its way to becoming one of my all-time favourite JBLs. 💕

Yay ! I also think it has the potential to become my favorite JBL ! (For now, my highest-rated JBL is Fake Fact Lips with a 9.5.) And I need to watch the new episode !


I'm binge-watching Mr. Kill today !
