Thoughts after watching ep 4: What the heck is up with Jin? I get that he feels guilty, but the way he reacted when he accepted Shouko's request and didn't want her to disappear from his life... It's not normal with the kind of professional relationship they had. I'm not saying he might have feelings for her, but I just think it's not what I expected, that's all...
Wow, it's been a while since I've been this into a Jdrama. Something about the the revenge-themed Jdramas this season is the best thing for me right now. Been binge-watching since yesterday and loving every moment. Although, I think they could have easily made this series' episodes to be 45-minute long, it's that engaging!
I watched The Cinderella one before this one, and I liked this more in some ways, like relatability with Snow. Not with her personality, but with what she has gone through. I also love the story between Plu and Snow more than Cin and her prince charming's story. Loved Snow's sisters a lot. Hated Beauty with all my being and wanted to strangle her near the end, and I hated that Snow still went back to Beauty after all that. Loved the song that came around episode 3,4, I guess, the one performed by the dude with the glasses in the cafe. 7/10, better than the Cinderella one in some ways, but also, about the same amount enjoyable.
Well, that was interesting. It wasn't excellent, but it was fun to watch with an interesting twist and a good lesson in the end. Also, the thing that stood out to me was Cin and her step mom Yee's relationship. It was pretty surpsing to see a step mom in a version of a Cinderella story who doesn't hate her step daughter or want to destroy her life, and that was really nice to see. And I'm not saying I liked that she didn't end up with any one, but it was truly modern and refreshing. I wanted to root for Din, but I couldn't resist Bank's charms as Phu... He's just too good, and I wish Bank was playing Din and not Phu. That way, I could have rooted for Din without regrets or hesitation. 7/10.
Finally after 6 FREAKING episodes, we get SOMETHING. Ok, so far this series isn't bad let's say. But I wasn't…
Also, props to Ootsuki Mirika. I couldn't believe when I learned she's only 14. She looks, acts and talks so mature, it's hard to tell her age from just those. And great narration, too. She could totally be a Seiyuu/ voice actor in the future.
Finally after 6 FREAKING episodes, we get SOMETHING. Ok, so far this series isn't bad let's say. But I wasn't expecting it to be what it turned out to be. It's super slow, and it's more suspense than mystery, because even after all those episodes, I don't have the slightest clue about Honoka's secret. And the pacing is super slow. The narrative style is non-linear, and the problem is, you never know which event happened in the past, and what hasn't happened yet. 40% of an episode works towards building suspense than actually telling the viewer something new. So while I don't think it's BAD, I do think it's not a very enjoyable drama. But I try to stick to dramas till the end, so I'll do the same for this.
There's wrong information about this series here. The episodes are the usual 23-25 mins long. Anyways, the first episode was super fun! I'm looking forward to watching the next episodes. Also, I've never seen Yada Akiko portray such a peppy and cheerful character before, so it's very refreshing.
Who the HECK made Nakagawa Daisuke the second lead?! Because after seeing the first episode, he sure doesn't feel like the second lead, but instead like the main lead. And dang, they made Otome and Kohei's intro story too dang sweet! How can someone NOT have second lead syndrome in this one?! And I may sound shallow, but take a look at the poster and the main lead. How does the main lead possibly compare with Kohei, in terms of looks or attitude? Even if he's a tsundere, I don't think I'll be able to accept Otome ending up with anyone other than Kohei. How could I? So far, they're making seem Kohei as sweet as all the pastries in the shop! I know I'll be disappointed in the end, but I don't think I can resist watching this drama.
Interesting first episode. Also, who knew Kudo Haruka and Takahashi Rin were gonna play sisters?! What a pleasant surprise! Looking forward to the next episodes!
If this is a prequel, then I'm still interested in watching. But I sure hope they pick up where they left off at the end of season 1 at some point, even if it's not at the beginning of this season. And I definitely hope Prim comes back soon. Gonna miss her this season if she's not there at all to some extent.
Hi, I haven’t watched this, so I’m just saying this casually. No offense, but why can’t there be a BL mystery…
With all due respect, and no offense intended to anyone, I just don't like it when they mix romance with mystery. Just my opinion. So if I know beforehand, then I avoid those kinds of dramas. I didn't know beforehand for this so I didn't like it so much. Also, I don't have that much experience with mystery dramas yet. When I watch that genre, I watch it plainly for mystery (and maybe comedy) but no romance.
It was interesting... A drama about heroes that isn't directly Tokusatsu... But the ending was confusing. I got what they were going for, but the execution was lacking. 5.5/10. Worth a watch? Not really. There are better shows with similar concepts.
What the heck is up with Jin? I get that he feels guilty, but the way he reacted when he accepted Shouko's request and didn't want her to disappear from his life... It's not normal with the kind of professional relationship they had. I'm not saying he might have feelings for her, but I just think it's not what I expected, that's all...
Anyways, the first episode was super fun! I'm looking forward to watching the next episodes. Also, I've never seen Yada Akiko portray such a peppy and cheerful character before, so it's very refreshing.
