Well, myeong-o is likely dead cuz MDE indirectly made Yeon-jin kill him. That's 1 out of 5 done! :)

Omg, i've been looking for this particular comment everywheree!!! ^^

This is everything I wanted 'The Eve' to be, but wasn't! No complaints... totally worth the 8hours i spent binge-watching non-stop! <3

I have native proficiency in 3 languages, and I'm currently learning my 4th (japanese). Safe to say, incorrect subs/ loose translation have made me livid before, so I completely echo the writer's sentiment. Silent is a very dialogue-heavy script, unlike the standard 'i've nothing to do, so let's watch a j-drama' kind of a show. I had a feeling since ep.2, this story is better enjoyed and understood in the native language itself.

This could have ended like the *other drama* based on a famous soundtrack (aka, 25-21)..... but I'm glad they chose not to! xD

I saw the green-screen when Yeo-Reum was in the car. I thought the showmakers were trolling us :/

Watch this be a remake of 'Man in Love' (korean & taiwanese movie).
If it isn't, i'm gonna throw hands.

Edit: be prepared with your tissues! :')

I see it! In fact, from some angles, she reminds me of a cuter version of Kang Han-Na too! :)

I hope the k-remake sticks to this original drama's ending, and not adapt any of the soon-releasing movie's sub-plots. I want the k-fans to eventually watch the movie, if they wish to know more. And perhaps even also find and watch this 13-ep original masterpiece! T__T
I want them to know Greg and Alice will forever be our Li Ziwei X Huang Yuxuan <3

Because there are no subs... all i could focus was on:
- Why are there fake sakura trees in his bedroom?
- Why does he scowl while delivering his lines?
- Why are her roots so distracting?!

xD xD

I would blame the Manhwa author for that! xD Completely sabotaged his character! xD

THISSSSS>>>>>>>>>

Okay, the FL is a terrible friend. (as she is, as a romantic lead)
I surely did not sign up to this kind of a friendship. (and certainly not this kind of a romance).
-___-

Okay, so the Johnny's connection is... the song 'First Love' by Utada Hikaru was also the title track/ theme song for a j-dorama from the 90's called 'Majo no Jouken'. It made loads of waves back then as a student-teacher romance drama, which also starred an actual minor. The actor, who played the role of the High School student is Hideaki Takizawa (fondly known as Taki)... he's an ex-Johnny idol (& actor) but he's sort of been 'adopted' as the heir of the old Johnny's boss, and currently has taken over as their... CEO? after slowly phasing out his idol/ acting career. He's the one I was talking about (with lots of fangirls)...

THIS!!!
Honestly, I thought this was the biggest twist in ep4.
(That the petty rivalry most of us thought was what Minato felt for Sou, turned out to be genuine love for his friend.)

The sound editing of this drama is also really tastefully done :) the deafening pauses and silence are some of my favorite moments from the show! :)

They have been heavy-handed with certain things, i agree... which is why i initially did not take to the drama despite an interesting premise. I still believe the story has immense potential though, and with good direction, can be a memorable watch! :)

Thank you for this! Ep 4 has cemented my thoughts on Sou X Minato... story-telling wise, they are a more compelling/ complex dynamic to watch than either of the boys' relationship/ dynamic with Tsumugi. It's quite interesting how all these years later, Minato made the same mistake as Tsumugi; both of then unilaterally left her without really mutually deciding on the break-up. It's a nice parallel, but then again, she's free to do what she wants now :)
And for those quick to call Minato the devil (and other synonymous adjectives reserved for the second leads).... should either try to appreciate the complexities and nuances of this meaty story, or just watch standard, vanilla-ass, straightforward romance dramas instead... :/

Hmm, now that I think about it, I think one of Bright's earlier projects had him smoke for a role, where he played a school delinquent? He definitely doesn't look like he's smoker, the actor who plays the ex fiance does though!
Glad I'm not the only one seeing a resemblance! :D

Choppy and cheaply edited scenes. The dialogues have barely been edited after being lifted straight from the manga.
A low effort production. Watching the cringe-fest with half of my face hidden behind my hands! xD xD Also, the dude's voice... isn't that deep IRL. It's so fake, haha! xD
