That's an intersting perspective. I do see that San Yan is very devoted and is willing to wait for her no matter what

The biggest issue is that I see that CCP tends to mild or censor to some extend seeking mental health, they may see it as a western thing, that's why in very few dramas we see the character actually seeking this help to cope with serious issues like this. I don't think that times heals things, and the doctor help she got seems to be a professional doctor and not a therapist. I understand one needs time and I don't blame her because is her trauma response, but if we decide to look into every angle the people around her are going to get hurt and if the FL doesn't get treated is going to keep happening, realistically the ML may have attachment issues as a response to living the same experience twice, but his inmediate reaction was interesting to me. I think they need to explore the issues from many angles. I just felt frustrated at the drama direction in the last few episodes, and hope it gets better.

Despite minor things that made little sense to me, I enjoyed the drama, but the HK arc was the camel in the back. FL's decision to get up and leave one random Tuesday and calling the ML six months later to check in on him was extremely selfish and self-centered - as if he was waiting with the door open for her to come back whenever she sets her mind to.

I understand all her struggles and can sympathize with her, but I can also aknowedlge that mental illness without treatment doesn't get better years later, specially those victims of SA; holding it in and then coming face to face with the abuser is very triggering and complicated, more so when is a family member. All those things in play are very horrible, and sometimes a way to get closure is bringing what happened to the justice system, doing that and going to therapy helps come to terms that what happened is in the past and you can move on. Now, leaving it untreated we see how it affects everyone around her, and is hard for me coming to terms with the fact she can leave, broke all the pieces in her life and comeback with no consequences this time, is fair if the ML doesn't want to accept it, or wait until she goes to therapy before deciding if she's ready for a serious relationship. ML is going to end up with serious PTSD and is sad the drama doesn't explore that at all.

Are we supposed to accept that the FL's trauma can break others with no consequences? Is something I asked myself at the end of the episode, and can't shake it off.

This movie broke me to a personal lever . A masterpiece!

Two empty SMLs so far in 10 episodes are draining me. I guess the writer follows the original storyline, but I wonder if they're necessary. I feel like they're getting closer without people in between. Plus, the last SML triggers me, he invades her personal space way too often and takes away her chance or meaning behind her "NO", it's pretty simple; if someone is saying "no", take it as it is. I'm frustrated but like the cinematography so let's see where this goes.

Agreed, I recently watched Bloom in the Shadows and I loved it! He’s very handsome and charming

introduction is not equal to boring, and that’s why I said it does get better though. y’all love policing every comment, so freaking jarring

She does have haters, but I doubt anyone who didnt like the drama has a personal grudge againts her. Some people don't even mention her in the comments, but you guys make it a life mission to comment on anything that's either negative or not praise worthy. The drama just aired, there's not enough data for the ratings, it'll probably go up close to the ending, even LovelyRunner started with low ratings, got super high once it reached their target audience and later on got massive hate from drama watchers. This site works like that, don't take things personally if someone doesnt like it, I dont think this site is even a trusted source for reviews

1st episode was boring but gets much better, my review so far (8/10):

Good points: Realistic army depiction, zombie invasion drama if you like the genre, FL is very charming and nice person, action scenes fighting zombies, the drama doesn’t take themselves seriously

Bad points: Korean CGI has a long way to go, ML is the nagging type -which is annoying, ML and his friend are Dump and Dumber Korean version- but their stupidity can come off as excessive at times.

What I’m expecting: Comedy cannot rely on stupid decisions or characters long enough, I hope they switch it off a little bit from time to time, introducing of more interesting characters (including more female characters), chemistry of the main leads.

Jisoo fans will take everything personally, same with snowdrop. You’re here for a long drive

I feel you, the guys seem like a bunch of losers and the first episode was boring. I’m guessing it’ll get better once zombies start attacking. when it comes to comedy the only kdrama that I found funny was Welcome to Waikiki and Mr Queen so let’s see for this one

But most of them are already popular on their respective streaming service

I may want to start this one just to support Japanese dramas on Netflix

I didn’t watch any j dramas in 2024 and sadly didn’t know about this one while it was airing. I’m planning to watch it now. If there’s any other J drama that was your fav last year, can you recommend it to me?

Blossom, Amidst a snowstorm of love, love game is eastern fantasy, and as beautiful as you; were all very good.

The double, joy of life, kill me love me, and She and Her Girls are dramas I still want to finish.

I still feel that 2024 wasn’t the best CDrama year, I hope 2025 is much better

The ML is such a walking green flag! I love him so much.

I didn’t think about this, but now that you mention it he may feel guilty for everything. SooJin seems very frugal and doesn’t wear fancy stuff or ears expensive meals so she may not even care about going to a private over public school but the idea that her father is the one who tried to compensate for that gives him more depth so it makes sense.

The characters seem more complex that I though, this motivates me to watch it because Of Harin’s backstory. Thank you for your input, it makes a lot of sense !

Omg thank you, that’s amazing! I’ll make sure to check them out

This is one of those guilty pleasures Wattpad-like stories that are very fun to binge watch. This particular one is very good for the chemistry between the leads, both are on fire in this one and you can feel it through the screen. I was very surprise that the FL was so good at acting, her voice was too babyish at times but her crying scenes were done right and I wasn’t expecting that. There are many red flags overall in the story and the budget was not great, but I tend to ignore it because the actors put in a lot of effort in this one despite all of that. There was also very weird CCP propaganda near the end, but I thought it was very funny. I hope Chinese dramas start putting trigger warnings in their content some day, the amount of SA intents to this FL were too much. Regardless, I hope they release a second season since it got so much buzz!!
