When I was watching this latest episode the same thought came into my head actually , how sad it is. I love the…
Nevertheless' portrayal of young adult relationships is one of the closest to reality in the entire k-drama industry. Experiencing a sad feeling is quite concerning, as it means you're just so used to the perfect, flawless love that shows or movies usually portray. Ofcourse we use media to escape from harsh realities but, I actually like seeing this real, 'toxic butterflies' love. It's refreshing.
In my opinion the full story progresses slow in general but the romance is fast-paced, the romance is what this show starts with instead of building up to it (unlike 99% of romance dramas) and especially if you're used to dramas where it takes 12 eps for the leads to hug =_= But tbh we don't know much about the ML motives, where is this going? nothing big is discovered yet and its 3/10 ep in, so in that sense I'd say it's slow so far. I don't mind it!
Am I the only one who is really pleasantly surprised by Han So Hee's acting? Normally in k-dramas, I find the shy introvert character that blushes easily. looks down and barely talks so so annoying that I can't stand to watch them for even a minute. Han So Hee's mannerisms totally point to that of a shy character but she's doing it really well. She knows how to act shy without the annoying cliché quirks that so many others actresses have. Perfect, I love it. I think it's something you don't really notice until you watch another drama where you see how an actress can fuck it up so badly. I think I commented this before lol but I just really appreciate it. Also she gives me Korean version of Mina from TWICE vibes.
He is toxic and manipulative, but hey … he is handsome sexy. Lets ignore it. “She knows what she is doing,…
You are overreacting lmao. Nabi's monologue very clearly points to her knowing what she's getting herself into, knowing what red flags are but she's playing along with the game. Don't act like she's an " innocent sweet child " - that's just incorrect , she's adult and KNOWS what Jae Eon is like because many people have warned her. Ofc by law of attraction you get frustrations and annoyances on little things like not messaging back. Anyone whose been in a relationship as a young adult can recognize this at least in some degree. Imagine being so disconnected from realistic relationships that you call a drama portrayal of it 'sick'.
Both JCW and SK are called 'Park Jae-Won/ Jae-Eon' in their respective drama series, which sounds pretty much…
Omg I agree with everything in your comment. I dont know about Song Kang, but for Ji Chang Wook it’s the first time seeing him take a script like Lovestruck. I really hope the industry goes more towards these type of scripts and actors start challenging themselves. Such a waste to see good actors end up in a generic ass kdrama again and again.
Dropping after first episode. How awful is this script even.... looks like they went for the contrast between absurd comedic effect and thriller/mafia genre, but they did it horribly and made it cringy asf. What a waste of the good acting and filming (great angles).
After 12 episodes it's so hard to keep watching, especially because the ending was spoiled for me lol. I love ML's character but the relationship between FL-older brother is so obsessive and creepy that it takes away from the fun of watching.
My favorite part of the story is when they show how ML "tricked" the drugged girl into committing murder. It's so sinister I love it. Jin Gook came to the horrible realization how much of a devil ML really is. Especially the "what's 3x5? 15, ah the code is 3515" that was such a nice detail, it really elevated the quality of the script.
Nice episode but I hope the drama goes deeper than just "shy girl gets pulled in by bad player who turns out to be good person" it looks like that's the direction they're taking. also I think woo do hwan would be perfect for the ML role
That's because it's unusual to see a drop in the ratings from 9 to 7.8when only 1 episode is released.The people…
Because unfortunately its true MOST of the time. MDL scale is ridiculous but there have been more times where a 7+ rating was bad than actually good like this one. It's not like the 1-10 scale actually counts on here lol. I wish reviews were closed until everything fully aired.
Monologues. Yes. They make Na-Bi a very different, and a much more interesting character than the standard, wallflower,…
You described it perfectly, the power of monologues, I wish dramas used it more. Pensive characters are really the most interesting to me. Thank you for the recommendation! I'll most definitely look into Hirugao, then. I haven't watched j-dramas but I hear they're much more mature than Korean ones.
But tbh we don't know much about the ML motives, where is this going? nothing big is discovered yet and its 3/10 ep in, so in that sense I'd say it's slow so far. I don't mind it!
