I highly agree with your last sentence!I felt something was off while watching ep, but I didn't know how to describe…
Yes! I was also looking out for someone who can describe how I feel about this episode better than I do. And I felt relieved reading your comment, because you expressed so good!
I was waiting the whole time for Ha Ra's outburst of emotions, but then Eun Beom had the audacity to lash out on her >_<
Hmm, I kinda felt uncomfortable watching episode 4. I'm not really liking any of the characters at the moment or rather I could hardly understand how the characters are behaving or feeling.
What Eun Beom did to Ha Ra is so horrible, even if there is another "truth" behind it that we don't know of. They were together for more than 10 years...this is not a short time. Faking an affair and then telling her, that he was sick of married life with her and not wanting to have kids, which is probably another lie or maybe not the whole truth. This is not much better than having an actual affair. I wouldn't be surprised if that would actually traumatize Ha Ra and her being unable to have a normal relationship again. I can actually understand Ha Ra being "petty" or immature. She's hurt, because she still loves him.
I'm really lost with Eun Beom tho... I don't feel that he still loves Ha Ra. He hooked her up with his friend and doesn't seem jealous in comparison to Ha Ra. I'm really curious what he's actually feeling. I just can't comprehend how someone can be like that to someone he still"loves". If he's now even playing daddy for that woman's girl... after telling everyone he doesn't want kids... that would make me dislike him more >_< And him lashing out on Ha Ra when that kid had an accident.. phew.... that was just wrong. Yeah, he might've a traumatic experience which can explain his behaviour. Still doesn't justify it. I don't have any empathy with Eun Beom. Maybe because we didn't see more of his side and story yet. I can't seem to root for his happiness. But I sooo love Jang Seung Jo and waited for him to be a lead in a romance drama T-T Please redeem him... writer!! No, why they make me dislike the role he's playing :'(
I don't like or feel any of the couple as of now. SML is too cringe and corny otherwise I'd have loved Ha Ra to have someone who is head over heels for her... but his character is so unappealing to me. They just have no chemistry whatsoever.
ML and SFL seemed to be just friends... the sudden invite to be her girl's dad had me kinda perplexed. We don't know much about them and their relationship yet.
Well, let's see where this drama is going. Good that there are just 12 episodes.
bro okay till now i was trying to understand GEB but after his unreasonable outburst at Ha Ra and the audacity…
I highly agree with your last sentence! I felt something was off while watching ep, but I didn't know how to describe it. But your wording is on point "minimizing the magnitude of the issue"!
I didn't like or could hardly understand how the characters are behaving. What Eun Beom did to Ha Ra is so horrible, even if there is another "truth" behind it that we don't know of.
I just can't comprehend how someone can be so cruel to someone he actually loves. They were together for more than 10 years. First he let her believe that he had an affair and know she thinks, that she's unbearable to be with. I wouldn't be surprised if that would destroy all of Ha Ra's confidence and her being unable to have a relationship again.
The writers are totally downgrading this situation by showing Ha Ra being too nonchalant with Eun Beom and writing Eun Beom to be this pitiful and submissive.
Can someone tell me what’s the song that Hu YouYu sings in ep 32 at 18:20?
It's called Fearless by Ma Di (馬頔). The original song is really beautiful and the lyrics as well!
It's the OST from drama "Go Ahead". Both Go Ahead and Meet Yourself are from the same writer and director hence why there are some reference to Go Ahead sometimes. If you like Meet Yourself, you will enjoy Go Ahead as well :)
Yes, Jules translation was so good. Jules actually wants to be a translator. I can see her bright future as a…
I'd totally support her! It was great reading her translations to the raw episodes that I watched. She always tried to explain everything, even the idioms, which are hard to translate...
I think Viki is using the Huace translations directly for this series and that’s why it’s not as good as even…
You are right. This is most likely the reason. Viki's subs are usually much better at translating than what Huace provided. A shame that this drama gets mediocre subs, because I'd love to have high quality subs for this drama. I can just imagine what beautiful lines they are actually speaking 😭
Do you have Jule's translation? It would be lovely to read an improved version
Credit to @JulesL (If you're reading this JulesL, I'm really thankful that you translated snippets of this drama for us! You did some more scenes and I should have saved them somewhere to come back to reading them ❤️ )
Confession scene: At the lake, after Ah Yao stood up and pulled her up, Ah Yao: The first time I met you, I thought you were simple and upright (straightforward). After getting to know you better, a little unlucky but an interesting/funny person. Every time I asked you to do something, on the surface, you seemed reluctant (literal translation - on her mouth, 100 of refusals), but your heart is soft. How do I say it...you are the type of person, I just feel that you are the type of person that is just right...
Hong Dou: Just right?
Ah Yao: Just right, you're the type I like. Whenever I am with you, every day seems to be especially happy. We can do anything and I will be happy. Not doing anything and I will be happy. Happy until I feel a little sad. Because I met you at a time and place that was not just right. At times, I even feel regret that when I was in Beijing in the past, there were plenty of chances for me to go to the hotel where you worked, but I never went in. If I had gone in, then I would have met you earlier, then maybe we could have a different possibility (outcome). These words I had planned to bury in my heart but after thinking a long time, at the end of it all, I wanted to give you another memory... Where by the side of the lake where the wind blew, where the sun rose and set, there was someone who sincerely liked you. Woah, I said it all...
Hong Dou: Xie Zhi Yao, you are really intense.
Ah Yao: You didn't expect it right?
Hong Dou: Cannot hold it in (while crying)
Ah Yao: I just want you to not be able to hold it in...OK, that's enough, no need to cry. You don't have to give me that much face.
Hong Dou: Thank you, I like this gift very much.
Ah Yao: You're welcome. Xu Hong Dou, go live the life you want to live. I wish you happiness.
Just watched ep 26 with subs on viki and I really wish the translations would be better 😭 I'm thankful for all the subbers out there, but I'm not really satisfied by the quality of the translations, at least on viki. I can wait much longer for subs if I know that the subs are more accurate and better. The conversations make 90% of this drama and even without Chinese knowledge I just know they have better or more beautiful conversations than what comes across. For example user JulesL on MDL translated the confession scene once in the comment section here and it was so much better translated, which is such a bummer, because people won't know how beautiful it actually was, if they just read the subs on viki...
I'm actually quite sad about that. Why are the translations for Chinese dramas never that good than with Korean dramas?
I usually overlook bad subtitles in Chinese dramas and don't complain because I also was once a translator on viki, so I know how hard and time consuming it is... But this drama deserves so much better. I can't accept half-decent translations for this masterpiece. I really hope they review their subs on viki at some point. 😢
This drama is super slow and there is no story at all.Suppose, you are in epi 10 and then thought to skip some…
This is obviously not a drama for you. This is a character-driven drama. The skips won't make you connect with the characters and their stories. I recommend you to watch other dramas and stop wasting your time :) Maybe you will be in the mood for this at another time.
The acting is superb so far, especially the ML. But I'm quite disturbed how they try to make the violent behaviour of ML "romantic" sometimes with the bright light and romance music in the bg... But it's not the first time this happens in Asian dramas, so I'm not surprised 😅 Can he please stop strangling and threatening her... The ML is hot tho... no question 😅 I've already liked the actor in drama "Our Secret".
I'm on ep 3. The ML is dead serious about not being busted but has her name saved as Shen Man Ning on his phone?! Or did the translator made the mistake 😅
This is pleasant to watch and I like the leads a lot but I feel that the story setup could have been a little…
I think her being single all her life and a virgin is not unrealistic at all in her situation. She took care of her brother and niece all her life and was working non stop. Where in the world did she have the time to have some romance or be in a relationship? And she doesn't seem to be the type to have one night stands. And the older you get the harder it is to find someone especially if you have a family situation like hers and with the high judgmental society South Korea still has.
Except the girl with short hair. She is so annoying
She's not my fave character, but I like her as well 😂 She has funny dynamics in the later episodes 😄 But yeah, she is quite immature for her age. I thought she is maybe 18/19 but turns out she is 24 😅
How is every character in this drama so likeable?! Everyone is so different and charming in their own ways. This writer really has a knack for writing beautiful characters and relationships! Even in Go Ahead. This is so rare to find and I'm so happy that I could cry. Just finished ep 30 and this drama gets better with every episode! People complaining about 40 eps... but 40 episodes are just not enough for me!!! I'm saddened by the fact that we just have 10 eps left T-T This drama is my remedy right now. I feel so connected to the characters and this village.
And after watching ep 29... how cute are Hong Dou's and Hong Mi's relationship? The most realistic portrayal of sisterhood that I've ever watched. I just love everyone so much! I wish I could write so poetically like Damai to express my feelings, but I'm just not capable of that lol
Oh my! I loved when they were talking on the phone in ep 28 and in Yunnan it was windy and at Hong Dou's place it was raining. So meaningful and well-written! Because when they talked at the campfire what they would like to be after death Hong Dou said she wants to be the wind and Zhi Yao said he wants to be rain!
I don't get it. What is wrong with the female lead being old.
That's ridiculous. Can't "old" people have romantic scenes? And she looks much younger than her actual age. People are too much on the internet and don't know how "old" people look like.
btw she had quite some romantic scenes and sexual tension in her previous drama "Lost" :P
Yes, but that was not the only reason that episode was so sad. She visited her best friend's parents and they had tearful conversations about Nan Xing :'(
Is this drama worth it in the slightest? I can't tolerate Crystal Liu, but I wanna check it out for the rest of…
Never seen anything other with Crystal Liu, so I don't know why she has so many dislikers... Is her acting not good in other dramas?
She's phenomenal in this one and I fell in love with her acting and ethereal beauty 😊
The pace of this drama is slow and there is a lot of focus on the villagers as well. But it's worth every minute. It's my fave airing drama at the moment and I'm sure it's gonna be one of my all-time faves as well. So yeah, highly recommended 😄
