Man i wish even if the episodes were short, thwy would give us more episodes for things to properly develop, let leads actually have enough time to fall or it just looks surface level and fake and next episode they are crying and acting betrayed over a 1 week relationship like please. But i'm enjoying it so far, its a cute show, acting is not that great but its decent enough.
I wish comments irrelevant to the drama were deleted. You would thing Sjk murderer someone. people projecting their deep insecurities when shk has already moved on with her life. this is even more disrespectful to her when you only mention her in relation to him
I think it’s really stupid to say her rival only got famous because Sera wasn’t around. Not everyone can stay…
yeah but people always say thungs like that even now about actors that stopped acting. it bothers her because she has truly felt insecure and doesn't believe she earned her role
10 episodes, I hope they plan this well because this plot twist kind of sets us back, I feel bad for Na Aejoon man.. Choi Si yells acting did seem a bit stiff and forced the first few episodes so i'm hoping that was the actors plan and not his acting
I really hope we get to see some intimate scenes between the leads because for now its giving siblings
I dont mean sex at all really, and most romance kdramas dont even have sex scenes so I definitely don't hold them to the same standards. I feel they care for each other now but I dont yet feel the romance as its all just from surface level feelings they had 25 years ago, everyone is so caught uo in finding out what happened in the past and we don't get as many scenes of them as I had hoped. By intimate scenes I mean physical touch, hugs, mutual hand holding or touching, long eye contact, tension. for now its all just bickering and him saving her from danger. I just hope to see more in coming episodes though I enjoy the mystery of the past
I wish they subtitles did not suck do bad man. Ep 5 and Stakes are getting higher now, Dr Woo does not seem to care anymore about getting caught and this drug dealer dude she keeps getting involved with. Damn she helped her mum commit suicide?, she knew who she was from a very young age .
I'm not looking forward to her trusting her former manager again tbh. His face and cockiness pisses me off so much. I hope that other actor shes always fighting with does not betray her and was not oart of why she got hurt in the first place. he is kind if a loser but does not seem to be a bad person. i really thought we would get more romance jn this shoe but j guess we see her trust the cop more and rely on him more when she needs someone and he will finally get to protect her from the danger he wished he had in the past
I always avoid stories with a sick lead, i know these stories have to be told as people with fatal diseases also have people in their lives that love them, but its just always so sad to me
still watching episode 5 but her mentioning that the detective in the past had darker skin pissed me off, he was just a bit tan. korea really cannot move past their colourism and putting fair skin on a pedestal.
kdramas are literally the pioneers of jerks in media. Bruh People are forgetting the ogs. maybe for recent dramas…
Damn. Thank you so much for your extensive reply. The way I started reading and realized how long it was a 1/4 way through so I have been procrastinating reading this but this wonderful writeup deserves a reply😅.
Lol so true about ml from BOF being in a psych ward. Fl was also way too much of a pushover. I felt obligated to watch it back then as it was when I was first getting into kdramas and I dont think there were as many I got recommended. But now I almost never watch dramas that I know I won't like certain characters.
Omg yes I did like love Scout a lot. Felt comforting to see some equal footing finally though we have a female CEO but it felt very balanced and ML wasnt this perfect rich, downbad dude with no other goals.
Lee Min Ho was really an era. I did like legend of the blue sea as well though I haven't seen personal taste yet and probably will not as i kind of cannot stand his acting anymore. I also liked him in king Eternal Monarch though I think Kim go eun stood out more. And he was decent in pachinko as the villain character.I'm just adding this list for my own reference and as I reply.
1. Discovery of Love
2. My Mister : Too heart wrenching and now our main character passed away in real life don't think my heart can take it
3. This week my wife will have an affair
4. Sweet Mobster : It was on my list but thought it was a damsel in distress type show so haven't given it a chance yet, i see after you said that as well lol but i'm glad she has some character development
5. Familiar wife : I probably binged like 10 or so episodes in one night because I just couldn't stop watching to figure it out, I didnt like the ml much but I think FL also was abusive to ML in her actions and her words so it kind of felt like that type of situation to me though the show painted as the ml being the one that was ungrateful only though he was in some ways
6. Divorce Insurance: I have not watched but maybe i'll give it a chance, Lee dong wooks last 2 roles dont seem to have been eye catching but Im excited for season 2 for the actions tv shows (A shop for killers)
7. Sorry not Sorry
8. Salon de Holmes : On my list to watch some time in the future , love my female centric dramas - Age of youth, be melodramatic, because this is my first life, search www chefs kiss🥰]
9. Goblin [ was a popular one for sure but the high school part just threw me off so never thought to watch it and fl still looks super young all through
10. My Boyfriend is a gumiho : Cute watch, the second ML was very annoying snd could not get a hint though, dropped some ways through but the first half was definitely excting
11. On her wedding day : Cannot deal with the trauma omg, who waits for 20 years really
12. Motel california
13. A Man and a woman : It seems to be very intense emotions portrayed and viewers will feel it too though haven't watched but just from clips online]
14. My love by my side
15. Elegant Family
16. Queen's House and Woman Who Swallowed the Sun : I don't watch daily dramas but may give them a chance
17. Once again and my father is strange I enjoyed a lot, I dont know how I finished them as I mostly watch short ones, one I liked as well was Never Twice[very sweet with green flag and flawed ml and flawed but mature fl who had a kid]
18. Extraordinary Attorney woo definitely very forced in that sense of his feelings but thats very typical with kdramas. But I was happy they had difficult conversations about their relationship later on
19. Twinkling watermelon was a fun one and I enjoyed potato lab too quite a lot
20. Yes my dearest nemesis I really enjoyed except in the later episodes with the breakup
21. Haunted Palace has been on my list but its listed as a horror so I dont want to be too scared
22. The first night with the Duke [ I enjoyed first half as well but it kind of fell flat with the random betrayals, so haven't finished but the chemistry was good]
Oh this golden days drama is 50 episodes, I definitely did not know that haha.
I can't give full explanations and maybe you have watched some but for me, for good romance or romcom dramas I watched and enjoyed, with flawed mls:
- Love to hate you
- Brewing love
- Gaus electronics
- Love your enemy
- Doctor Slump
- The story of parks marriage contract [ jerk ml but understandable to an extent with the circumstances but I still enjoyed it and think the writers did a good job making me root for him]
- Call it love [ ML kind of a pushover but to everyone, very thundered type of ml but he is emotionally in tune and cares deeply]
- Bora deborah
- The matchmaker [ historical drama where ML of high position falls for the one woman he should not fall for]
- Our beloved summer [ this is a drama that really moved me as I had not seen a fl like this before shown as often we see the ml make these types of decisions, did not finish but we definitely have flawed characters here even though I think the forgiveness was not needed but its very realistic and kind of shows how flawed each are]
- Dali and the cocky prince [ funny drama but flawed ml who is unabashedly himself and cocky but he is not a jerk, and fl is strong and smart]
-summer strike
- Youth of may
- Run on [ greenflag ml and fl, very mature leads too]
- Do you like brahms [ Female lead felt kind of weak in the begining but she was never weak with her feelings and expression but here we have 2 musically focused people falling in love, one that has been in the limelight for it and there is new blood coming into play and then one that has been fighting to be recognized for their efforts though not as talented]
Unrealistic but I enjoyed these:
>>Lovely runner [ Never stopped loving his childhood love after many years despite feeling that his feels were unrequited]
>>Business proposal [ our rich male CEO with all the money in the world to spend on this low income chef at his company]
>>Mr plankton one i completed but had a toxic ml in my opinion who just waltzrd into fls life after he dumped her 3 years ago. But as the drama progresses, we come to learn why they were together and how similar they were in the first place.
>>More than friends [ I enjoyed this but i think the ml was a jerk as the FL had feelings but he kept leading her on and keeping her aside only to later realize his feelings, but i let it slide as I believe he grovelled]
I mean its nice kdramas shows green flags but accordung to the news and from Korean women online , they are often more interested in non respectful things. I also just think its more beautiful when we have a man and a woman falling in love with each other as people rather just a story where it just seems like 2 characters are put together because they are ghe ml and fl, and the fl needs someone to save her because she can't even stand on her own 2 feet.
I'm probably going to keep watching this drama because I think they are doing a good job keeping me curious on what happened the past 25 years. I signed up for a silly romcom but not that much mystery or physical assault literally so idk. its just okay drama for now, not phenomenal but also not too bad.
finally we got some cute scenes with our leads after 800 years
