Yep, this was weird and completely addictive. Loved this. It was definitely a manga adaption...hence being weird, different, unusual - no love triangle/awful in-laws/annoying best friend I am happy to say. Will definitely watch the sequel now! Like right now....
This movie was really cute. I absolutely loved the boy princess and girl price premise. I really enjoyed the clothing styles too, not something I've seen much of in other dramas/movies. The Male Lead was amazing. Story line was simple, a cute romance...it was the boys adoring the "princess" and the girls adoring the "price" that made it different - and I like different.
Honestly, I'm at ep 5 and I've struggled to get that far. I can't stand the 4 female actors' characters. They are manipulative and obvious. The male actors' characters appear oblivious. Thinking about making a drinking game for every time the Female Lead says "I'm an internet idol." or similar...it's so annoying! And the awful flash-backs...I really like Krist (and he is looking fine) but even he can't save this lost cause.
Holly mackerel. I don't usually go for the 35 episode dramas because they lag in the middle and end up repeating the same misunderstandings etc but, as a computer programmer, I love the e-sports dramas (though I don't game) so I gave it a go. Sure, this drama started off with a bang (as most do) then, started to slow down as expected. Then, holly cow, things exploded, the excitement factor went off! and I binged on episodes 27 through to the end.
It's hard to explain without spoilers why I enjoyed this drama so much. Yes, there were the interfering second leads and I found the FML's best friend to be really, really annoying and unforgivably violent to the guy who had a crush on her (don't understand why it's OK for a woman to punch and kick a guy but not the other way around?) but the gaming scenes were convincing and exciting. Better than Go Go Squid, and I liked the FML better than Go Go Squid's as the FML in Gank YH really developed (and we saw that with her confidence, abilities and fashion). Gank YH's MML Wang Ye Bo was enchanting and convincing as the leader under enormous pressure. I would highly recommend this to any one.
After reading the comments on this drama I decided to give it a go. At the end of episode 2 I have to say the Lead Male's laugh (much talked about here in the comments) is definitely slightly evil and I laugh EVERY time he does. I am hooked on his incredibly deep voice and, honestly, his body is just..well, watch and see. Just thought I'd take a second to wade in on the laugh thing...off to watch episode 3 now...probs going to binge until the end.
OK, just finished this. It is the weirdest movie I have EVER seen. Laugh out loud in some areas..."where the hell did they find actors to do this????" in some areas. Male Lead's body is BEYOND BELIEF, and the viewer gets to see a lot of it. Different.
For me, it's the opposite. I'm 53 and my kids don't/won't understand my obsession with K-C-J-T-drama and Kpop. I have hearing/auditory processing issues so I was looking for shows to watch that had subtitles on Netflix...found Man-to-Man and that show honestly changed my life. I now exclusively watch K-C-J-T-dramas and movies and pretty much only listen to Kpop. Can't be bothered with repetitive, bland American shows and Australian shows are even worse (I live in Australia).
My family roll their eyes and say "Can you turn that k rubbish off so we can talk?" (yeah, I have it up loud!) I've given up telling them why I watch/listen. "Haters gonna hate" I guess.
