Beautiful. I watched it bc I'm a fan of both Qu Chu Xiao and Wang Zi Wen. Once again, they were terrific. Even the child actors did an amazing job. I definitely recommend. If you watch it, make sure to watch through ending credits.
Kids at my hs always busted out in any language they could pick up whether though classes, media, or home- so to me it feels like- oh, they do that too.
It's gone from hilarious and entertaining to thoughtful and insightful- a change that has pleasantly surprised me. I've loved this series because not only is it very relevant but it had me literally bursting out laughing multiple times (nice). Now, it cleverly comments on coping with drama and social responsibility. Indeed you can't judge a book by it's cover. Usually, I watch heavier stuff and I am glad I didn't dismiss this.
Confusing as possible. It's like 2 mini shows with same actor/character names but ?? The YT "full version" is when Liang Chen is in college. The 4 ep this page appears to refer to are apparently after college and they have been together for "a few years." However, when they tell "their story" and show flash backs, not only do they completely omit the "their story" from the YT version, but they give an alt version. And a comment below says something about NC scenes, which I saw none of, so I am wondering if there is possibly yet another version floating around.
Refreshing to see a really good movie with organic visuals and genuine feeling movie. The performances (even side characters) were very realistic. Youth, infatuation, aloof, annoyed, over it, bad or mean - all very realistic and no over-the-top caricatures. The cinematography was nice and organic too. Not saturated or nostalgic, but more like letting the true flavors subtly come out. Anne Curtis was so realistic in her crying scenes that I actually paused to think about how far off so many other dramas are. Marco Gumabao nailed his character. Even scenes such as the elite dinner party looked real like compared to for example a C or K drama version. Or when you envision things going one way and when you execute it you are just mediocre and have to bow out. A very realistic take on real life situations. I guess the ratings are about that. Many people want escapism (I'm also one) but, damn, how can you not appreciate a realistic depiction such as this. Glad I stumbled upon this.
Maybe the BEST Korean drama I have ever seen (quite the feat). Daring, exposing, well written and executed without any apologies. Every episode, calculating move, even how it ends is meaningful. It's best not to binge, but to digest and think about this one or else you might miss out on complexities and nuances that make this. It's like all classics, the deeper you dive in, the more you appreciate it's value.
Watch it, it's so impressive! Caution: Scandalous and spicy. Way better than most het or historic Thai shows. If this show doesn't hold 8.5-9.0 ratings on MDL, then it's bs.
Glad I stumbled upon this.
