The rave reviews I read here about this series pushed me to go watch it, but I admit that I did not have the same enthusiasm as many. Certainly it's a series that can be watched but I did not have the thrill that a good thriller gives me and sometimes I was bored. Besides, I will not describe this drama as a thriller, there is not the dark and icy side that many thrillers have. It's more of a suspense drama with a Race against time as in the 24 Jack Bauer's series, but more lighter!? ( For my part anyway 🙂). The story is quite easy to access especially if you have trouble with thrillers that tend to have dark stories. The actors were pretty good, same for the cinematography. Overall 7/10. My biggest complaint is about the police chief's hairstyle? Who had such a grotesque idea?! This wig gave her an Alien look, I guess it was to give her a competent and austere aura but that was a Fausse Bonne Idée (Bad Good Idea).
Despite several attempts I have not yet found the thriller cdrama that captivated me. I continue to seek and remain open to all proposals, thanking you in advance.
I suspect The chef or his waiter with memories Issues to be the murderer. Besides, I bet more on him because the killer has exactly the same body feature as him and I suspect that he is used to moving with the boss's car and forgetting it here and there, hence the fact that Si Baek went to pick it up last time I assume All of them have been victims of these people before including the Male Lead.
I'm not a binge watcher, but a binge reader. I've never been able to do that, even though the series is complete. When I watch a series I tend to take my time to better immerse myself in the story. But above all it is to avoid to skip certain parts or even episodes.
I'm not a patient person, and I don't have the patience to dedicate several hours just for a single drama, 1 or 2 episodes are more than enough for me. This is also the reason why I still have not been able to finish watching 90% of the series produced mainly by Netflix, because I take my time watching an episode here and there, from time to time
I really enjoyed this one! Haven't liked a Chinese drama in a while, but this one was amazing! The main leads…
Like you, I ended up giving up, I found it long and somewhat repetitive, but hey I drop 90% of the cdrama I watch. I highly recommend A Dream Of Splendor, it is my favorite of the last 5 years.
Unlike many I liked the original version of this drama, the chemistry between the actors was perfect which is absolutely not the case in this version. As much as there is chemistry between the exes as there is absolutely none with the fiancé, it gives a bland effect. So after the 6th episode I dropped it cause I was bored. Many people didn't understand that Discovery of Love is a drama that actually deals with how Love ( Any kind of love) defines us, how selfish it can be, and how longevity in a couple can cause one of them to take the other for granted. Many only stopped on the Love triangle, when in fact it was much more than that, because even the secondary characters have their share of love disappointments.
AoS is definitely an overrated drama for me, on this one I totally agree with you. The beginnings were promising but it unfortunately turned into a repetitive piece. For more than 15 episodes I had the impression of going in circles, it was a succession of episodes with two three comic scenes but where basically nothing was really happening. Even the ending outcome fell flat. There was nothing epic about it, neither the fight scenes, nor the political machinations. Even the return of the hero's father, who had a major role in the plot of the story, had the effect of a wet firecracker. That said, I am not surprised by the rendering of the drama, I am certainly not the audience of the Hong Sisters. I've had a lot of trouble with all their dramas without exception so far, you have to believe that the cycle continues
At this point I need Kla to get on his knees and beg Khim for forgiveness because what the fuck was that hospital…
On the contrary, I totally understand his gesture, he acts like this because he feels guilty, not only towards Claire but also towards Khim. He tells himself that the thing Khim wants the most is to divorce him, if he had not acted like a child dragging his feet to divorce, all this would not have happened. Claire would not have had a fit of jealousy and Khim would probably be with her fiancé at the time of the accident. He therefore believes that if he divorces he kills two birds with one stone, he avoids Claire's prison and frees Khim from his anger. And I fully agree that he owes her excuses, whether he has a global vision of the situation or not he tortured her psychologically, and that is unhealthy.
After a long slump, I decided to try a cdrama again to change my usual tastes. The last time I had a kick for a cdrama it was ALL IS WELL (Yeah! It's been a while). So after the opening of several cdramas that I dropped as usual, I came across this one without having read any information about synopsis, actors or anything. God! What a pleasant surprise it was.
This is a series that left a deep impression on me, almost everything was perfect, from the cinematography, to the casting and the chemistry of the actors, a veritable feast of the senses. Finally a Chinese drama where the ML and the FL were truly mature, they made meaningful decisions, faced life with courage and common sense.
Very often I watch a series without really getting attached to couples even if I love the drama, but there it is impossible not to root this couple, THEY ARE THE COUPLE. OMG! the chemistry between them: Explosive. It’s one of the most striking things about this drama, the proof that chemistry between characters doesn’t necessarily need to be tactile, everything can be played in the eyes and body language. Bravo!
Knowing the difficulties I have to watch a cdrama until the end, hope to find another gem like that soon. The story is however relatively simple but so well told that you feel a great emptiness once it’s finished. This drama is a tribute to peoples and to the prejudices they have to overcome all their lives, one of the messages that I picked up and that I liked the most is never let anyone or anything define you, you are who you are, as imperfect as others say you are, you are the result of your efforts and only the sky should be your limit. Being perfectly imperfect is not a defect, it’s just a way of defining your uniqueness. 9/10.
I'm not a fan of this writer's dramas except for Mr Sunshine, I've come to understand that I'm not the audience she's aiming for. I have the same concern with the actress, so far none of her works have pleased me, but I love everything Ahn Gil Ho touches, so there is hope for me. He is one of those rare directors who make me watch anything just at the sight of their name.
I find the comments quite funny, no one thought for a moment that part 2 is actually just the events that happened before part 1? The life of Naksu and the other protagonists, the origin of their story. I very much doubt that this is a continuation of the story of Part 1.
And even if it’s a continuation of events, wait to see what it is and then get a real opinion of the work. Who knows! Some of you may love it more.
A meaningful ending. Growing up is understanding that love isn’t always enough in a romantic relationship. The writer wants to remind us of something important very often the final destination of a first love is the breakup, even if it's with your soul mate.
Moreover, the purpose of the drama was to tell the story of the journey of NHD and her friends at the dawn of their adult lives, not to know who the father of her daughter is. Either way, it could be anyone that it wouldn’t have changed anything to her story with BYJ.
My choices are often very unpopular, although I respect and like some on this list, very few of them can push me to watch a drama just at the sight of their name, many others are unfortunately actors that I avoid because of the disappointment I had with their work.
My top list is mostly composed of non popular actors but with a bluffing gameplay. 1. Cha Seung Woo 2. Kim Nam Gil 3. Nam Goo Min 4. Lee Geung-young. 5. Yoo Jae-myung.
The others, it’s really not in order because I can’t rank them. Ju Ji Hoon, Sun Dong Il, Son Seok-koo, Lee Kyung Hyung, Lee Sang Yeob, Ji Sung, Jang Hyuk, Jang Seung-jo, Lee Joon Hyuk.
It was quite interesting but not as exciting as what I expected. Special mention to all the actors, the main and the secondary were majestic, especially those who played the serial killers, even if the Trinity Killer in Season 4 of Dexter will still be the barometer of quality of an actor in the role of a sociopath for me, I still took my hat off to them.
I have a real issue with acting in this drama, the ML and his ponytail friend are very, very bad actors, I feel like I see a school play at their games. To be honest, the rest of them aren’t beasts either, but they easily look like movie veterans in front of these two. And why does Gorya shout so much?!
Frankly it could have been pleasant, a drama that can be watched even if it will not mark you but due to the flaws mentioned before I dropped it.
Don’t mind the fans and even though I know that all tastes are in nature. The ML and his ponytail friend are very, very bad actors, I feel like I’m seeing a school play at their games. To be honest, the rest of them aren’t beasts either, but they easily look like movie veterans in front of these two. Anyway, it’s mediocre!
My biggest complaint is about the police chief's hairstyle? Who had such a grotesque idea?! This wig gave her an Alien look, I guess it was to give her a competent and austere aura but that was a Fausse Bonne Idée (Bad Good Idea).
