I'm a sucker for "childhood friends to lovers" stories but I found it boring. It's not bad but it lacks dynamism and some scenes were awkward : bodies positions and camera shots, and how sometimes they speak like reciting their lines. Also, their friendship reminds me of LiCheng & MuReng from Close To You: one is a playful chatterbox while the other is calm and serious... and the jester is constantly in his friend's personal space, not seeing he's making him uncomfortable. Not really something I appreciate.
It was ok. Could have been better if : - the premise had made sense. All this fugitive plot was useless. When the neighboor saw him, why didn't he cry for help? His mom was killed in the afternoon and he went home at night. He just had to give his alibi to be cleared. You'd think forensic didn't exist in Japan at that time... - the MC had done actual investigation. He goes back in the past but does nothing but follow one girl for 50% of the series. At no point does he use his adult brain for some detective work (who could be the possible perpetrators).
if u don't like this watch other dramas with different genre with fresh story.u can watch its entirely new concept."Tomorrow""2521""PACHINKO""MILITARY…
As I said my issue is with romcom. I do watch and enjoy other kdramas mainly thriller, sf, horror etc . Last romcom I saw was Mad for Each Other and Iiked it because of its fresh concept and simple but efficient directing. Nowadays I enjoy chinese and japanese romcom more because they don't rely so much on overused clichés and 2D characters.
Dropped at episode 1. I've no patience anymore for korean romcom. I've been into kdramas since 2008 and I've noticed there's no creativity, no originality nowadays. They've been recycling 2000's dramas for years. Same stories, same characters, same directing...
Let's get intewwww it. So basically a lot of people starting off this show had a problem with the feminine males…
LOUDER!! You didn't miss! I love Toh's feminine personality and his flaws and I love Daisy 100% (not a fan of Kao's childhish attitude but that's another story). As I said in a previous post, gay fem have the right to appear in tv and movies and it's time they get the main role. We don't care about fake BL fans who are actually homophobic!
It was a nice series that could have been great. I was into it from episode 3 to 8 and then it went downhill : - Several time jumps made the story difficult to get. I don't understand why they took this route since they had 4 episodes left - Repetitive scenes with DomeVee that don't resolve their story. Dome broke up with Vee's sister so what they did had a lesser impact. I understand they wanted to play martyrs but even the sister told Vee she accepted the relationship. As such, their ending was pointless. Drama for the sake of drama. - I think I understand what they wanted to tell with FahTorn conflict (when two lovers work in the same business/have the same goal, if one advance faster, the other one can feel neglected and jealous...) but maybe 3 episodes about this was too much ? - I liked FahTorn but something was missing. Warm? Tenderness? Even months after being together they gave feeling of akwardness and restrain. - SaenAi is the sweetest couple but their romance happened too fast. After one look at Ai, Saen started courting him and they got together 3 episodes later but in the meantime they forgot to show us why they liked each other.
I like the Drama more than the manwha, I think the Drama is more mature and more melancholic. I also really like…
Someone said they completely changed the characters personalities because in the manwha they're both funny and narcissistic competing to be the most loved in university. Do you agree? From episode 1 & 2 I could see that happening but then they kept the focus on SiWoon's story at the expense of DaWon's character development. What about in the manwha, is the story fairly distributed or is it told mainly from SiWon pov?
