Chronofantasy

yes. drawing closer is actually the movie I was thinking about as well when I watched this. didn't check out the Japanese version until after. there's another movie I saw when the girl ages rapidly, so she's an old lady in her 20s and passes but falls in love before then.

although what I did notice was the Japanese actress who played the one mom in the same movie. she's the same actress I recognized in another Japanese movie where she gets this disease which makes her age rapidly, so she basically becomes an old lady in her young 20s, then i think she died early as well after falling in love. there's also quite a number of similar other stories where someone has an illness with a love story. usually it's a Japanese storytelling. so right away this korean version made me think it was a Japanese story instead, only to find out soon after about the same movie coming out in Japan a few years earlier.

ha ha. yeah, I saw that after making this comment. I checked it out some, but I didn't want to watch the entire thing so I skimmed through. it seems mostly the same from what I saw, just more narration as the Japanese tend to do.

I never seen the Japanese one even though I've seen plenty of similar stories out of Japan. Japan tends to do too many stories like this where one or both have an illness and one or both die but still love one another. So to see a Korean movie do this instead is different because most tend to have a happy ending with its romance. I'll probably check out the Japanese version though for comparison, but it's a matter of different audiences.

I feel like this was based off a Japanese movie or story. At least the story is very much like what a Japanese sad romance one does. I know I watched one movie where the girl died instead and I think the boy did as well. Since both had an illness, but it wasn't amnesia like with this one. Then again, I've also watched so many anime that I may have seen it in an anime, as well.

Either way, I still enjoyed this movie and story, even though I didn't expect it to throw that at us near the end.

if a natural disaster on a global scale wipes out all of humanity, there's no way you can save them all. that's the power of an apocalypse.

pretty much. there's an anime/video game called Steins; Gate and some other similar movies where they take a person's brain scans and everything about a person and uploads them into an AI where they continue living as they were, personality and all, but the real one died and it's essentially just a copied back-up of them running as a separate AI on the cloud or on any device. this one wants to try and create copies of digital or AI humans while trying to mimic real human emotions to continue on humans gone extinct and have them live digitally or AI over the cloud or machines or computers

I just started watching this for the first time. I'm on episode 3 and it's reminding me a lot of the anime Bleach. watch this one if you don't mind anime and like this type of story of grim reapers sending souls back to heaven and fighting demons. but bleach they go to their version of Heaven later, or rather the place where the grim reapers live, then into the demon's world and other places with a lot more fighting scenes.

that'd actually be bad character acting if there's an emotional connection. the girl is a psychopath after all, someone who doesn't feel emotion. unless this changes later since I'm only 2 episodes in.

he did a lot of good guy roles as well. watch him in sky castle and you'll probably like him.

I don't get it either. I thought it'd be around 8/10 since I just finished it and thought it was around this score. Sure it got a bit repetitive, but the episodic format usually does well for most shows when it tells different stories with different focus on various character's story about a certain topic. in this case, involving love yet also divorce. it's interesting even though it's something happy married couples will hope they never have to worry about. I liked the couples and I thought it was a cute show and some parts even brought a tear to my eyes.

meanwhile he was the best part of this boring movie despite being forced to play a pathetic character.

Quite a few well known actors but it felt quite lacking and it was mostly boring.

I'm trying so hard to get through episode 2 and keep stopping because it's just so boring and drags on. but I'm trying to go back to it and continuing on seeing all the praise. maybe it picks up later.

I'm forcing myself to watch through it. it's been taking a while with 10 or 30 minutes of watching here and there. sometimes an entire episode every few days or so. I'm almost done. on episode 18. it's dragged out way too much and most of it is boring. they spent almost an entire few episodes just looking for a ledger and other filler like stuff like cooking earlier on. the first half was decent and near the end the plot is starting to ramp up a bit. but it's still mostly boring. it could've been 12 episodes instead of 20. I'll probably give it a 7.5/10 when I'm done unless the end does something amazing .

ah, okay. I get what you mean. yes, it does seem like step mom wanted him in that way and how he was certainly using her as a means to get revenge and then to protect Anna. In the beginning, they did want to kill each other at first, so there certainly was some sort of tension, and if it was an American show, I bet they would have them sleep with one another one time due to this tension but still have ML fall in love with FL after. their romance was certainly cute and sweet and she was more child-like because of being sheltered and due to how her life was like. although I don't know about her just being thrown in there, since the entire story revolved around her with how everyone else connected around her. but step mom FL is kind of central too. it's almost like one is an angel and one is the devil, which is why they must be referring to Anna as an angel of Barcelona and how almost evil-like they made the step mom.

it's a pretty good show though depending on how you might view it. i think some had a few things to nitpick on it but it's still good despite some of these.

really? I don't see any chemistry like that at all between him and step mom. maybe one-sided attraction of her lusting over him because her husband is a cheating PoS. the chemistry with him and Anna was on point though as he went out of his way to do anything for her and then their physical and romantic moments were intimate and cute. he was only using the step mom to protect Anna and for his revenge, nothing more and no attraction from his point. unless you're an older woman and inserting yourself in her role because you like ML, otherwise there's nothing there like that.

I don't know why anyone will drop after just one episode only because of a character without really knowing them at all in 1 episode. She gets a whole lot of character development throughout the series. Unless you're saying this because you personally don't like the actress who plays her? i find her cute after the two of them meet again later on.

I just finished this one a few minutes ago and I absolutely love it. I'm not sure why it doesn't have a higher score? Maybe most people on this site prefer romcoms than action and political dramas? Maybe because it's older? Either way, I enjoyed it. it has an amazing soundtrack and a little bit of romcom, but at its core it's action and thrilling, which i love the most, and fighting over politics and both sides taking over as the next President. I won't spoil how it ends but it's a good ride and worth checking out.

He pretty much stays childish and annoying until the end. I just finished the series. it's decent and a fun watching but sometimes can be cringe.
