Okay, so girl who is pretty and ordinary type dates a pedantic guy who has matter-of-factly chosen her at a workplace, because he'd figured that "she'll do", because she seems "resilient", and he'd get more chances to be assigned abroad if he's married. That's what he openly tells her. He's actually not that much of a looker, still perhaps for lack of other options he seems to be surrounded by flocking females considering him A+ male. Girl actually learned the lesson already, that guy with many female fans is never good. Still, she starts dating him. She sleeps with him before he properly tells her that he loves her, nevertheless he turns out to be decent boyfriend until he IS transfered abroad. I expected the girl to close - perhaps after a few tears, but close - this as a boring chapter of her early life, instead they sort of get engaged and keep the long distance thing. And it's 1/2 movie still ahead. Somehow, I hoped that homegirl might meet someone better....
Second half: Something EXTREMELY boring which had no point or I didn't care to get to it, starting to wish that she'd have wild sex with the other guy or something. Then I could at least bash this movie for being "weird japanese movie". But no. When the other guy took her TO CHURCH, I decided I'll better go to sleep. After I had my nap, I did not bother to finish this, I just closed this with 28 minutes still on the runtime. I'm not even rating this, or complaining. No, that's not anymore how I do things. I decided to part with the movie before I'll learn its whatever conclusion. I think that suits it best.
He is oddly attractive. Truly remarkable face. Just enlarge his MDL profile pic and start analyzing his features. You'll laugh. But somehow, he IS hot:-)
I'm watching 2009 'Cinderella Man' and suddenly there is an obnoxious minor character with incredible curly hair. But somehow, I don't dislike him! I check the cast and I find out yes, that's the lead from 'Mad For Each Other'! When he was 28:-) lol
Yeah, "cool" nickname. If he at least had a "cool" japanese nickname... Just listening to all the cast pronouncing "death prince" the way japanese do... Would make this a parody even had they NOT intend it.
"1) one of them loses complete interest in the lead female and goes back to the second lead female he ditched long ago for unexplained reasons, 2) one of them grows to like the lead female yet takes care of the second lead female to an unreasonable extent, 3) one of them likes the lead female genuinely but, of course, the plot won't allow them to even meet and talk properly, 4) and the last one of them leaves the *knight* title ever so quickly and branches out to his own super cliche sub plot....."
I'm confused. Who is the endgame couple here? Or is there none? Then MDL has to erase "Romance" from the Genres.
Episode 7, after 5 minutes: Some new dude arrives in the apartment practically all the characters ended up living together in. Not sure whether I'm supposed to know him. Nevertheless, after another 3 minutes, ML arrives into the apartment. He makes the usual face at FL (I'm already used to that), then seeing the guy (someone's brother?) he stands there mute for 10 seconds wearing his typical "blank face". That moment - or several moments - I realized that: a) he usually looks at FL with that "expression", so far we were supposed to believe that it's "romantic" b) I'm kinda tired with his face. He's not very attractive, not very manly The rest of the scene everyone acts bewildered, tensed like before big storm hits while ML acts very theatrical. I soon ceased to pay attention, not really caring who the new guy was and what he wanted. Because, somehow I was losing my GENERAL interest in the ML, and perhaps this show.... Yup. Dropped.
Older jdoramas really have awful FLs. The character here is supposed to be a top news producer but needs to be…
Aw, you're too harsh. She's a professional no-nonsense kind of worker, but very soon she starts giving in, when working alongside so many cute characters. You can see that she melted towards them, but of course she cannot show it too much as their boss (the actress portrayed this very well, after all she was no novice she was 30). The whole time, she has to report to the board, and they ARE completely heartless. Still, she takes the workers side practically every case ("of the week":) You dropped this but I did not and when 1 episode before the final ML tells her that he didn't make the meeting she requested of him before leaving abroad, wanting to tell him something important, it occured to me that she was probably pregnant and at a crossroads in her life and when he did not as much as show up and did not make it to the airport when she was leaving either, she probably took it as a sign. Abroad everyone expected her to excel at work, not have a child out of wedlock, so she probably visited some doctor in the end, after all they don't make much fuss about such procedure in the west, it's like getting a tooth out, and she could probably even do it anonymously so she did that. And after years, she got shaped into the childless career woman, because that's where life took her and after meeting him again, they were able to co-work well, which was positive but him telling her his side of the story could no longer change things back. Her personality was shaped. I did not see the final yet, I'm halfway episode 10 so this is just my theory;-)
