Just realised…… Jun’s house locality (if not the same building) was in Love Between Lines, the hotel for the gala was the same as in Shine on Me…. I know Shanghai just as well as Gangnam or New York at this point(having never gone abroad)
Well… they shoot movies in my college campus and I’ve watched a few of those too so not saying anything shown is accurate……
Moving out will only make any real person more stalkerish….. I mean she basically follows her son around all day…. I don’t like her at all…. But she feels like the character one is most likely to encounter among all the characters in the series though 😅
I don’t like that she’s changing….. I’d like a more radical approach to separate Jun and his hoverboard parents…. He should be more independent thinker… just have boundaries…. Why are they allowed to enter his room, tinker on his computer and phone whenever they like? He’s an adult right? He should act more like it…. It’s not respectful but just lazy of him at. This point
About Jun’s parents….. they are worse than helicopter parents…. They are living his life for him….. I don’t know what the director wants to portray. these parents are irredeemable…. No one changes in their 50s…. I’m reminded of a neighbourhood grandma in my town who allegedly used to peek/listen into her married son’s bedroom to make sure things were happening. The son eventually earned enough money and moved out. The grandma had the nerve to blame it on the DiL for her estrangement with her son….. cringe stuff
watching ep 12, I usually enjoy second couples in drama, but I think we are seeing too much of the friends (more…
The trailer and opening credits say a lot about a series. Usually that much time is only given to 2/3 leads in either of these if their stories are going to be shown in detail. That’s one of the reasons I’m not watching this series until it ends or very close to the end of airing
I've only watched maybe one C-drama with this actor playing the ML, and I wasn't even excited to see him paired…
LMLMV was one of the most boring stories…. The music made up for it though…. I didn’t like how the fl was always second to the mL in that…. I think that had more to do with the writer and director in that case. I’ve only watched previews of all episodes and so far I can see both acting and story are far better here.
I think I figured out why this drama does not fully work for me.Why I have fun watching the episodes, but I'm…
I want some kind of highlights version…. I have fwded all the episodes till now coz they were boring (for lack of better words), now I want to know the story. Where can I get it? I knew the Seori character was played by the villain from my glory. Looks like the director has taken too much interest in her real life villain to heroine transformation than the character demands…. She was the heroine in both the past version and the present version…. Why the villain label??? Don’t understand that at all
On a lighter note, the phrase “Shin Seori” when spokeni Tamil with a Tamil accent would mean little itch(something that can be irritating depending on context)🤣🤭🤭… sorry if this offends but it was too funny in the context of that character being someone who asks questions of people around her and wants everyone to take responsibility for their own actions
This is the third drama this season with similar genre if not plot line…. Lots of parallels to be drawn between this, PoJ and PC. Elements like fantasy, PoV, and amount of action/drama are slightly different. Who comes up with the genre for every season? Is there like a central think tank or underground mafia scene? The best dramas for a season are always from the same genre. Or is it the fans that want the same genre until the plot line possibilities are exhausted? Mind you, there is fan fiction also on top of this. I feel like I fall into a rabbit hole of genre every season……
Felt more like a Disney adaptation of a Korean story than an original Korean story….. if I wanted an American story I would go for Hollywood…. Overall, I felt like I watched some dubbed version of a weak American PG13 Hallmark movie…. Someone else had posted in this section that the villains don’t have proper motive…. I agree. The villains were hollow. I like romance, don’t get me wrong. I always have. I liked the romance. If there was going to be politics, it should have been more logical. Arbitrarily placed rules that pop up without sequencing or logic.
Loophole: If I An was a reagent, wouldn’t that mean he was also part of the so called cabinet? Wouldn’t he be head of the so called royal council/family? But he was supposedly the most sought after person in the kingdom. There is no sense to this. If the Grand Prince is the opposition to the royal council, then he should have close ties with the cabinet members even without the PM. At least, he should have had money. But he is dependent on the cabinet to approve his expenses. He is either the most powerful person or just a puppet. Can’t be both at the same time.
I could find many others if I gave enough time. This was clearly a romance genre meant for 13 year old girls produced by mentally teenage Americans. Sorry to have wasted 12 hours of my time on this. It banked too much on nostalgia.
Scene: IU in the same hospital room as Son Hyejin. Byeon Wooseok running in a similar fashion to Hyun Bin. Many of the actors were also part of the CLOY cast. It felt nostalgic, but did nothing to enhance the current story.
What happened to Huiju’s talented board members? They play no role in the plot. They could have been very useful. What exactly was the royal FIL wanting to achieve by killing a reagent? Democracy? His own sovereignty? Not clear. Why exactly did the king have to abolish monarchy? It already looked like a watered down monarchy with the king as a decoration rather than tool. So what purpose did that serve? Wouldn’t it have been better to punish all the wrongdoers?
Clearly, the political side of this drama is ********. I liked the romance, but it was not enough to cover for the very American plot. Someone dm me when the Kdrama scene becomes better. I’ll try not to watch any more till this ridiculous Americanisation persists🥲🥹😢😢😢
The ost was on point till now, but I had a laugh when I misheard something as “you are my Fevicol”…. It was a romantic scene and I couldn’t control my laughter 😂 😂😂😂😂
I think these haters are chasing something that is inside their minds…. They have been jaded by their own life and more, so they chase the feeling of their first k drama watch. Nothing can reproduce that feeling but something just as profound and new in your own life. It feels that they blame the actors and producers for their own feelings😅
I hated the Qi Min character. It dumbfounds me that people actually 'shipped this sick psychopathic, sadistic…
I can’t say if it’s a chicken-egg story between fans shipping Qi Min and him being portrayed as the good guy if he wasn’t subjected to fire/drowning in the last episode. At first I thought he was going to be the good guy when I wasn’t reading the subtitles….. he is the best example of a complex villain who has redeemable qualities….. I liked the character and acting. But wouldn’t go as far as shipping him, maybe others feel differently.
Well… they shoot movies in my college campus and I’ve watched a few of those too so not saying anything shown is accurate……
