I loved this show. Every minute. It wasn't perfect but it was surprising and the ending...did not see that coming. Will definitely watch more of the ML!
Ah, yes, the cliches...from actresses with increadibly weak ankles who trip over everything, dangerous white trucks and mopeds, accidental kisses to crossdressing females and evil mothers, it's all here and it totally works! Somehow this drama is wonderfully watchable.
The main actors had a real chemistry. I was so impressed by the male lead who expressed volumes with his eyes. I'm kindof crushing on those eyes I will freely admit. Watching the two leads together is something I will miss.
OST was enjoyable, I usually don't really pay attention but the songs I did notice were lovely and very appropriate.
I would highly recommend this drama to those who like sweet romances (and a bit of sport), there wasn't a lot of faceslapping or too many plot contrivances. I would possibly watch this again for the male lead and I don't usually rewatch anything.
Watched every second...no skipping even though I am ADD as hell and I usually avoid historical dramas/movies like the plague. The fight scenes were beyond description, those actors were trained hard. Wasn't expecting much but really enjoyed it. 2hrs 15 min passed really quickly.
3, the Main Female lead x Main Male lead, the cat and the 2nd lead, the 'weird' room mate (I thought she was awesome) and the guy Main Female lead initially had a crush on.
At Episode 17...in the spirit of full disclosure this mini-review may be a little biased because the Male Lead has hypnotised me. He is breath-takingly beautiful yet masculine and, boy, he can sure wear those period costumes-first time I have really paid attention to costumes to be honest.
OK, yep, the Female Lead has moments where she is annoying--standard for a Chinese drama but she just comes across as stubborn, naïve, brave, too innocent (Kiss the man for God's sake!!!!) She is also incredibly loyal, resilient, positive and quick to act. The chemistry between the two Leads is very convincing. I ship that.
There's a review below that talks about the ML abusing the FL...it almost turned me off watching this drama-I'm so glad I did because, if anything, the FL abuses the ML, she's the one hitting him, stepping on his feet etc but he never retaliates and he is the one saving her impetuous a*s on a regular basis. True he kidnaps her- the alternative was leaving her on a burning ship. True he follows her around - they were married at this stage because she agreed to marry him ((part of a plot to escape him - when she already had feelings for him but was too stubborn and stupid to know).
This is exactly the drama I have been looking for: hot Male Lead, feisty Female Lead, humor, bromance (the relationship between the Male Lead and his two off-siders is so good), romance (wouldn't mind seeing a little more!) I will continue binging this one then hunt down every drama/movie the Lead Male has been in (of course!!!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkNnJBE3k9M i didn't find it near to parent story it seems spoof of it i'm sorry…
Just watched the trailer above...seriously, the 2nd leads are much more attractive than the leads. I can't even bother with this...I would rather go back and watch the original 'cause every time I see the Male Lead's face I am going to regret not seeing Song Joong-Ki's visuals. *Yes, I am shallow that way!*
Yep, loved this show. Hands-down amazing. I do find the ending bitter-sweet as the character Tar made such an impact on me; it doesn't matter how bad Lhong's backstory is I could NEVER feel sorry for him because, ultimately, he chose to orchestrate and pay for a child (grade 10) to be gang-raped, he filmed it and he threatened the child with that film - completely unforgivable. I have a bitter feeling about the ending as Tharn and Type wander happily off with a simple relayed apology from Tharn to Tar via a text from Type??? How was that endless confrontation between Type and Lhong a suitable punishment for Lhong's crime...Type admitted finding the 3 men who raped Tar and paying them to confess who the "mastermind" was??? Do I take this at face-value or was he bluffing to gain a confession from Lhong.
I guess the issues I have listed above show just how invested I was in the show! After this, for me, slightly unsatisfactory ending, and the gut-wrenching ending of of History: Make our days count I REALLY, REALLY need a perfect ending from Until We Meet Again. I have high hopes for Until We Meet Again which stole the best BL/best drama place in my heart from TharnType. If there is anyone here who hasn't gotten into Until We Meet Again (is that possible?) then I would highly, highly recommend it to any one.
Even with my issues with TharnType I loved it and will definitely rewatch it because I've never seen an actor better at those sweet little kisses than Mew. Mew's outstanding acting and ability to create chemistry with a slightly less experienced and capable co-lead was a joy to watch. 10/10 even with the issues because!
Finished! Binged from ep 1-27 without stop (very, very rare for me as I usually switch from show to show - my currently watching list is about 30 shows at any time). Had to stop at ep 28 as it was 9 am and I'd been up ALL night. Immediately started watching the last 3 eps after waking up; not gonna lie-the ending was not quite as satisfying as I wanted (a few loose ends were never tied up such as the rotten uncle never got punished) but the whole drama was so good. I laughed, cringed, yelled at the screen and obsessed over the injustices. The ML was smoking hot, the 2nd ML (the "unloyal Cat") was captivating...I'm off to watch one another show of the Cat's after writing this (thank god for the holidays!).
Yes, the FL had moments of being annoying; the 2nd FL was a horrible person (but a great best friend). The 3rd FL was totally cool. The ML was a trope (cold CEO with health issue) but he completely owned the role and is the only actor I've ever seen who is convincing playing an 18 year old and a 28 year old. I missed the Cat when ever he was not on the screen. The character development for the main actors was excellent, well paced throughout the 30 episodes and I only skipped a few times (and I am a heavy skipper).
If you're hesitating because, let's face it, 30 episodes is a lot, give this one a go. It's cute, sweet, funny and (again) the actors are gorgeous.
Help. It's 2:45 AM and I can't stop binging this show. Episode 19 has just started...damn, I want that cat for my own. Seriously the ML is one of the most gorgeous men I have ever seen and he is not just eye candy...but the cat...I can't stop...oh, well there's only 30 eps and I have nothing much to do tomorrow.
At ep 17 and I'm still enjoying the drama but...is it just me? The sound track is weird...the ML is a world-renowned concert pianist and the sound track is blues-harmonica? It jars every time I hear it. Blues is weird enough but harmonica? Why didn't they use piano instrumentals?
The main actors had a real chemistry. I was so impressed by the male lead who expressed volumes with his eyes. I'm kindof crushing on those eyes I will freely admit. Watching the two leads together is something I will miss.
