WOW WOW WOW. This was amazing. It was wacky but they managed to execute the show perfectly. The development of the character and the storyline with her friends was amazing. The ending was amazing though- she truly did become a person who doesn't care what anybody thinks and the lesson about how a man cannot make you happy alone, was perfect.
This was an AMAZING drama. Why? The description makes you think the female lead is childish and trying to push…
Plus- sorry y'all I know this is long- the actor with the character's REALISTIC confidence and his looks... was pretty darn attractive. His usual glasses look made him look very attractive.
This was an AMAZING drama. Why? The description makes you think the female lead is childish and trying to push her view of marriage on her bf but in reality, while it seems to be that way, in the beginning, it quickly becomes apparent the 2 are aware of their different views and chose to be together for an indefinite period because they genuinely have this attraction and desire to be together. The leads had great chemistry which you can attribute to the acting and writing. This show showed a very realistic portrayal of people who "shouldn't" together do so anyway and end up making it work. The male lead's initial rude behavior stopped quickly and he did make a point to apologize- plus the writing explained realistically why he was mean. The male lead had this unique confidence around her while also being quick at times to admit his feelings for her and his thoughts. Rather than being a 2-D perfect boyfriend, he was really fleshed out to be a walking contradiction of confidence and insecurity. His change to agree to marriage was not immediate which is realistic and the female lead's ultimate respect for his decisions is unique to the drama world and important. THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW SHOWS THAT SOMEHOW WITH THE COMBO OF ACTING AND WRITING CAN PORTRAY 2 PEOPLE MEETING THAT HAVE AN INSTANT CHEMISTRY.
10/10 Recommend. Why? It is a relaxing show with the focus on the day to day life of one character. Specifically, one very interesting man who is passionate about nature and who lives in it. No drama but simple changes in plot and pace. A wonderful in-depth view of a character- their life and journey. In the show, there is a focus on his teaching at the university and his relationship with his students. I really enjoyed that part of the show a lot. If only, there could have been future seasons where we would continue to see his life and eventually getting into a relationship (possibly) and living his life.
The Japanese version is much better than the Korean one. Details were missing from the Korean one and the backstory was not as thorough. The romance portion was completely cut too, even if there is little.
OMG, so true. I grew extremely attached to Tendo's character for the reasons you mentioned, so now it hurts a…
:) I hope in the future the cold man/warm woman storyline will be like this or even better (healthy relationship). :) We shall see. Have you watched the short "sequel" with eng sub? I haven't found it online.
If you think this is the same storyline of the insecure but determined girl who has a crush on the cold jerk-like guy, you’re wrong. It’s the version I have always wanted- one where the girl is not portrayed as an idiot (sorta) and one who does care about their career in comparison to the guy + the guy is not the typical cold jerk - he has a reasoning for his behavior and he does get reprimanded by the girl *. He genuinely has affection for her and their relationship isn’t forced. The guy genuinely finds her attractive despite the girl’s casting and lack of fashionable clothing/makeup to picture her as a determined girl but that’s it . She’s not ugly-none of the characters think so and he likes her for who she is! He is affectionate in their relationship and makes a point to talk with her when he notices her feeling insecure/etc not because it’s annoying. But because he cares about her and the relationship. For the first time ever- I heard on a JDRAMA- “I am not dating you so you can take care of me!” THANK YOU. Overall- this relationship is real and mature! Way different than others of the same “type”.
