I just watched something else because I felt I was getting too obsessed and frustrated over this drama and then I found a drama that had everything this drama couldn't pull off: 18 Again 2020. It had exceptional writing, perfect representation of MATURE and immature youth, it pulled off not one but 2 damn amazingly done love triangles, it made you relate to ALL characters, it showed growth and development no matter the age, the value of family and friendship and POWERFUL WOMEN who did not always need a man to succeed or make right life decisions, the struggles of life and workplace for more than one character: basically all this drama lacks, that drama had. I can't still get the rating of this drama down because I saw JP crying while hugging grandma: I can't unsee him and i want people in future to feel the same pain and frustration we went though as long as they recognize how amazing of an actor KSH is ?
I think that most of us can agree that it's a shame that KHN kept being promoted as one of the main characters…
Only the Reply series can pull off "who will she end up with?" despite not even being about love but about the life story of each characters, friendship, family, career, youth and so on. This is not even about who she will end up with because they are force feeding us DoDal, so why the hell did they even make a triangle is beyond me
I honesty miss DS as introduced. I thought he would be this super humble cute cinnamon roll and would gain so much by staying next to JP who was his cupid and inspiration. They had amazing screentime and I couldn't care less about who DM would end up with. But then his insecurities took over the whole of his heart, in small steps. In the beginning it was healthy and of course he would keep asking DM what she likes about him, because he wanted to grab onto anything at all, any hope and possibilities. I get it. But then he started resenting JP and started hating him to the point of wanting to take away even grandma's love and attention. I thought he would calm down after the drunk episode and thank JP for bringing him home safely and after sleeping together with JP hugging him , but litterally nothing at all. He embarked into this strange journey in which his life had the purpose of provoking JP, taking away things from him as if they were kids and he would rejoice by taking away JP's doll and his candy but if that candy wasn't sweet enough he would be the bully kid and beat him up as if it's JP was fault for the candy not being sweet. Why ? Honestly the writers are either genius to make a villain out of who we all thought mistakenly was the main lead or the writers lost it. There are definitely many other things that are very very veeery wrong in this drama but honestly this post was to express that DS had a lot of potential and I really miss the version of himself before he got contaminated by the mysterious screenwriters
It would have been way more fun if the writers had paired NDS & WIJ and HJP & SDM. Come to think of it both couple…
I kept saying that in the beginning of the drama because I liked her so much: while everyone was shipping IJ with JP, I found them way too similar and I said that she needed an expressively warm hearted man next to her, kinda how Lee Da Hee and Ahn Jae Hyun looked so perfect together because she was like the incarnation of the devil while he was litterally a priest
