i have never seen someone use SO MANY FLASHBACKS. I think each scene was played atleast twice in the drama. The school wedding was played so many times lol. They could have just given a real wedding at this point.
i was so close to calling this one my favourite from the univerkada series, but why is the script stuck in a loop like a broken tape. 19 episodes with a tight pacing would have been just fine. but they decided to give us multiple different instances of 'love you can't be with you'. the script writer is me trying to increase the word count in an essay. it seems like the actors got tired too, because what even happened to wilbert ross's acting in ep 21? what was that makeout scene? seemed like an raunchy ad of some stupid game. and why did we need to see them go to school and run around? what did it even add to the story? why ruin such a good story like this? the songs were good, the story was good, the acting was also better.. why would you ruin it like this? WHYYYYYYY
if you are talking about childish anger shown by Via, it is because Larkin keeps teasing her. it's a very normal…
haha, i get you. my excitement has also simmered down because it did get repetitive in the middle, but wilbert ross has such a cute puppy in love face, i can't help but tune in every week.
Can someone explain to me why she's the one that is "pissed" now? They act like little children now that…
if you are talking about childish anger shown by Via, it is because Larkin keeps teasing her. it's a very normal reaction considering that she is interested in him but doesn't want to show. also, i know they are adults, but they are probably in their mid 20s and this is actually common 20 year old behaviour.
I agree that it did become repetitive in the middle but acting wise, this is much better than Chasing in the willd and Avenues of the diamond.
I am not in either of the field but I saw a documentary on brain research. Actually there is a company in Europe…
100% agree. lol. i had the exact same thoughts when I was watching the drama. the country has progressed a lot in this sector, no doubts about that. but so much PV panels talk is unnecessary, considering that anybody in the sector would read a paper instead of tuning into a cdrama. i let out a laugh when the ML goes to that desert looking place and a worker tells him how thankful he is for the plant because it is now lighting up a village that didn't have electricity. it was like watching a CSR ad made by a conglomerate lol. all of this country marketing seemed very targeted to the international audience.
Through the 150+ kdramas I have watched, I have never felt the second lead syndrome but I am scared I will feel it here. The on screen chemistry of Tripp and Alys is so much better. I literally want 90% screen time to be tripp and alys and 10% to be aya.
Does anyone think this drama could be banned in some Asia countries because of his name? 😢
They can ban it in the muslim majority countries i guess? Because their sentiments are obviously hurt. The rest of the world can enjoy the drama if they are interested of course.
Just because she went in past doesn't mean she will magically become a completely different person.(Stronger).…
So dying, magically time travelling to go into the past and getting a 2nd chance at life is all realistic but becoming a stronger character because of an incident as traumatising as death is not? I think witnessing her own death is a big enough reason for her to not remain the same. Misa's character is more conservative than realistic. Till episode 8 she was a strong and determined character but in the last 2 episodes she is written to be someone who is wilfully ignorant and over righteous, like the kind of woman a conservative society would label as "ideal."
The love story angle here was better than the korean version but the revenge plot was weak in this one. Even after dying once the FL still felt like an idiot to me. She also would have been long dead (again) if the ML hadn't saved her ass. Instead of showing the FL as a strong character who is now going to take her fate in her own hands and rewrite her story, they made the FL a "nice" character and made the drama into a good things are going to happen to good people anyway story.
this version is much more realistic and Satoh Takeru is literally chef's kiss. i could watch anything with him in it. but not gonna lie, i miss the ridiculous yet satisfying revenge/ confrontation scenes that the korean version had.
i have never felt this conflicted about anything. the age gap to me is honestly not that creepy because i have also watched goblin (the kdrama) and managed to completely ignore the weird age gap that they start off with. the way i see it, lex was always romantically in love with the 21-22 year old version of her and not her kid version? if i went back in time and saw my boyfriend as a baby or a 10 year old, i wouldn't be in love with that version of him.
for me the creepy angle only set in when they finally met and he was giving his monologue. the delivery made me feel like he had lost a bit of his sanity waiting for her (idk if that was the intention tho). that made me imagine lex sitting in a dark workshop, chipping at his nails and drawing millions of portraits of karen out of obsession.
so far, it is turning out to be the least favourite part of the univerkada series. for me, the chemistry topped in safe skies archer, followed by rain in espana. chasing in the wild was good but not something to write home about. the chemistry in avenues of the diamond tho... its not slapping at all.
cringing over the bad acting and simultaneously getting butterflies at the romance. drake saying "you are weird" to Alys while taking her back home was so hot. T_T
in portugal, at the end of the school year, we write messages on each other's notebooks and folders, so those…
notebooks and folders are common in my culture too. but we never write stuff like this. most of things written are very informal, childish and stupid, mostly about a shared memory or something. basically its something that would make the person laugh. but i guess that's a cultural difference :P
you are right about the secondary character thing tho. most of them have weird dialogues. but in many dramas even the main characters have weird dialogues..so well... xD can't expect a lot.
the script writer is me trying to increase the word count in an essay.
