Waiting for the day when Lucy steps into Kdrama with a top k-actor.
kdramas nowadays are just bad, 0 creativity and unrealistic plots. Using the same bag of tricks, the arm grab, the amnesia, the evil plotter, the exacerbated violence, the unexplainable obedience, the utterly ridiculous "comic" scenes that make noone laugh, the unfinished sentences, the unexplained blunt lies or white lies, the endless shouting. She'd never go for these kind of poor scripts even if it was technically possible for her to shoot in a kdrama.
One of the few I actually really enjoyed. I'm a fan of time travel so that was easy from the start but it's often used in frustrating ways. Not here, and the father's intervention gave it a touch of metaphysical which I loved. There were no limitations about changing events and disturbing the future, changing was the goal. I loved the message and how karma was fully expressed with no half measures. The writers didn't bother about being PC about it and it is as it should be. This is a strong movie, full of hope. An hypnotizing tune surrounding their love moments brought about the surnatural tone of their relationship along with "hope, tenderness, strength and resolve". Story short, love it.
the end is bs. I don't care about moral issues raised here around him "having an affair", in real life sh* happens. I don't care about the eternal pro-life/pro choice discussion. I care about 16h of watching being thrown to the garbage by an ending that leaves me sad or wondering. She could have survived, they could have gone back to earth and be a happy famiily. Anything wrong with that ending? We all have enough sadness in real life. If I wanted realistic, I'd watch a french movie. But now koreans are trying to go impressionist in the endings... that's boring.
What happens in the end ? Can you spoil for me pls ? Worth watching ?
to tell the truth, I blacked out a little... that is to say it was pretty lame. I kinda liked the fantasy side of it with the magic and all but they dragged the plot till the end as usual then she sacrifices herself if I can remember, the curse is lifted and you're left hanging. rather empty, without emotions in the end. Total flat end...for me that is.
this is like the glory but on steroids lol i think the violence is too much. it's not uncalled for, but it's so…
yes, totally called for and very satisfying. That's what most of us would like to see in superhero movies and have batman or spiderman actually punish the vilain. Somehow, in western politically correct movies, the vilain ends up dead by mistake, never by direct action. In most cases, the hero even tries to save him last minute. And that's the reason why The Equalizer had so much success.
so what did she decide in the end? I didn't get it. Is she staying or not? I hope they do a follow up series.. that would be awesome. I really love that one.
I loved how this movie started, almost like an urban chinese drama. Nothing forced or overly exaggerated, no unjustified violence and instances of unbearable abuse, the plot made sense, the writing was subtle. After ep10, it quicky fell back into the korean drama template. The usual sacrificial obedience that depicts children as martyrs, enduring hardships or complying with unreasonable demands—a notable staple of corean dramas.
The pivotal moment of the storyline occurred when Jin A faced the fateful decision to leave everything behind and start a new life with Jun Hui. However, the writers failed to treat this as a genuine "defining moment." Jin A never truly grappled with the magnitude of her choice, nor did she reflect on its implications. Even three years later, when Jun Hui returned to find her struggling and unfulfilled, she showed no signs of regret or self-awareness. Consequently, the happy ending, with Jun Hui choosing to stay and continue pursuing Jin A, feels unearned and lacks emotional coherence.
anybody knows when ep.40 will be available on YOUKU? If he dies I think I'm done with chinese dramas, especially right after Kill me, Love me. So much time invested for a SE would be a major set back
I wouldn't give this a 7 actually.
