So, people's problem is the stereotypical image of the whole Africa continent, and not the western crimes and genocides starting with the colonialism era, the financial support to civil wars in multiple counries in Africa, the constant medicine experiments for the drugs we use in the west and the fact that the whole west is leaving literally on Africa's corpse since centuries now?
No you re not snowflakes. You re merely idiots. If you read this and answer, i will not spend a second post-i ve had enough of humans stupidity out there and in here. Never wasting a 2nd answer so to save my brains.

Nothing new! Didnt you see with what stuff they're spending their working hours? Gossip, styling, doing errands for every little s@t that the stars order etc.
A deeply sick star system just like Hollywood, but smaller in size

To me its ok. I still cant get over the fact that ALL Korean actors for the past 10+ years have the same mushroom style haircut like 5 yo!

Actually the scary ones are those who think that art products of any kind are supposed to give morality lessons.

I know right? Simple, pure, warm and with that Japanese sense of reality that is so relatable, so deeply emotional! I could easily watch a bunch of 20 more episodes, just watching all of them living their lives! Dramas like that, prove that original and deep stories dont need big budget, filters or anything. 10 from me too!

oh god that was bad, i mean REALLY BAD!
Not the actors fault though, they gave pretty decent performances-the whole cast-
but the story was pointless, nothing happens.
Whoever wants romance, should be satisfied with FL and 2ndML and thats all.
Whoever expects kisses between the leads, nope! 1.5 second almost fake kiss at the last episode and thats all.
A supposed to be slow burn romance, but it turned a total failure.
It could be made better if it was a melodrama, or a dark theme one, where the 2 besties never express their feelings and we got a bad ending. But now its an epic failure
And dont get me started with the useless pointless draggy scenes -my finger got stuck on the ff button so to skip

My exact thoughts. This is not a-let me call it-representative jdarama in terms of story telling. Jdramas are mostly cheap productions (unless we re talkin about those that are sold to netflix which are very westernized cause they have mostly western audience as a target) but they re top notch in terms of narrative and originality. The stories often leave you breathless and i ve never remembered myself skipping scenes in a jdrama-be it of any genre. This one wasnt bad, it was just draggy and pointless-plus the very poorly written FL as a desperate 30yo who at one moment wants desperately to get married and the next MPAM she gets "wise" again thinkin that marriage is not her cup of tea (and we re talkin about a 30yo let me remind you-too young to get married in any case). The acting though, was good by the whole cast

One of the best OST (both main theme and fillers) i ve ever heard in asian dramas overall. Without being anything special, each piece is suitable when needed.
Now still on ep9, i skip some scenes, episodes are unecessarily long, but the main couple has great chemistry (though as individuals they re not that interesting) aaaaand
there's SUGAR SUGAR SUGAR everywhere!
(the hashtag thriller is completely out of place. The drama is very light hearted-it could easily be korean lol)
As i ve read many comments blaming FL's character and the actress for bad acting: She did a pretty good job. She just didnt have the looks, she's not the usual asian type-petite,short, skinny, just her cheeky baby face and thats all.So its hard to deliver a girl who suffered from turret syndrome and lived all her life glued to her mother. But that was the whole point: she was like that and ive seen MANY female characters in asian dramas who are that naive and behave like 5yo, without having any reason for it. At least she had her reasons to behave as such. Plus, she had to be in total controversy to the ML as a character, as he is witty, "evil", experienced and dark. Yes the writers went too far with that "mommy" thing all the time, but the actress's performance overall was decent.

Very bad acting from the 2 main leads.
I have a soft spot for reincarnated/fated to be/couples through times, but this couple is not convincing at all. They move act and talk like co-workers or worse. Nothing indicates that they were lovers to begin with. Still on ep 8 and i think i ll drop. I could endure the horrible cgi if the acting, the character building and the chemistry was good enough, but here its not the case.

Since the were not blood related, that scene would make sense, if as teenagers had a crush or something. But since they were just siblings growing up under the same roof. the scene was pointlessly erotic. Because it was clearly sensual. They could show how he regretted and wanted to comfort her, in a totally different way. This scene was out of place

Same! After queen of attack i wondered why such a good actor has not so many works

Check out his previous drama. Poor production but funny and cute . title: queen of attack

In Kdramas hard to find cause its all about beauty (at least after 2012-13 . Before that year long there are better quality works by far, in terms of drama/movie making and less beautification. But i suggest you should go to Japanese dramas where you will find true gems with much emotion and reality, not caring at all about beautification-filters-all this sugar around. If you want, pm me so i can send you some suggestions i found from jdramas

2 questions: 1. was it indeed a reincarnation? i somehow lost it-i thought he said she was not after all
2. when he comes back each time, can he get intimate with her without fainting? I ve lost that part too-maybe he is recharging (kind of) while being in his planet?

Are they blood related? I thought Masato was adopted

First and foremost-i root for Rio and Kase-im guilty as charged, but their onscreen chemistry was off the charts! Great chemistry too between sister-brother. The only failure was the main couple, of course i dont blame the actors-though ML 's performance was too blunt- i couldnt feel anything by his expressions, his body language-failed to convey his emotions. But the main problem was the writing of the main couple story. What was that: "when this is over we'll talk about our future together". They werent a couple-to begin with. There wasnt any interaction that showed any kind of attraction between them. Lame dialogues, no depiction of their emotions for one another and thats all.
On the other hand, there was plenty of good writing about Rio's and Kase relationship. The subtle (maybe) romantic feelings of him towards her, together with his protective nature and his will to make everything he could for her and her brother's happiness-his empathy to ther father, and his whole character building were very sweet to watch-plus a GREAT performance by the actor.

The whole cast did a great job-i exclude the ML a bit
Overall, a good detective drama, with a bit slice of life elements, not tormenting as it may seem from first episodes-overall a good and decent watch

In the drama there's not a second husband of Yukiho. But there are in total 2 arrangements of rape attempt (only attempt so to scare the victims and leave Yukiho alone-though the second one was just out of her greed and will to just punish her friend for being a good well nurtured person)

Its good in many aspects, but Lynn is right. The plot doesnt make sense
