On episode 2.I don't get what is supposed to be so special about this show, yet (people here say they RE-watched…
Geez, I consider deleting this Comment. Why do I even write these, I pretty much ceased writing Reviews, lol. After such time, I keep getting notifications that someone replied to it, it's annoying. This drama means very little to me. Certainly not enough to be DISCUSSING it with people. :D
Okay, not only the secondary couple (the 'Be My Boyfriend' couple), lead couple also kisses episode 9. I honestly don't think it was a good move from the producers. Now I have no more reason to keep watching this drama. I've already seen the best it has to offer. Now, what remains? The collection of weird haircuts? The trio of females, one wears ponytail all the time, I guess at least her hair is normal. One wears male haircut. Not interested in her gender identity crisis. One wears the around-the-pot fringe hair (that's the lead one), only her super cute face saves her from total loser look. Now we already watched the kissing, and the couples got somehow together (in more or less forced way), it's time for secondary characters to break them apart. And I'm far from interested in watching that. And honestly, I feel awkward watching the lead couple together. I mean, are characters in k-drama ever supposed to act like grown up people. 5 stars out of 10 for me. And Dropped at 9/16.
Dropped after epi 8/10. No need to see the 2 remaining episodes. This been long enough trying my patience. What a waste of Gouriki Ayame. Rated it 4 stars out of 10, considering her character being a GIRL in the drama. If it's otherwise like some comments suggest then good I didn't get to watch that part, because then I'd rate it LOWER.
This would seriously gain more viewers if only MDL displayed the drama as 'My Evil Boss Is My Ex-Girlfriend' and kept the 'Chaser Game W: Power Harassment Joshi wa Watashi no Moto Kano' only as an Alternative Title. Point is it's the Primary Title which displays across MDL when viewers browse the site finding an inspiration what to watch next. I tried to Edit it, but it won't let me. It' a pitty because the way it is, it looks like some online game web series or smth, and misleads many viewers AWAY from it.
And even if you do want to watch, it's not without roadblocks. In fact, it's filled with them. This man and woman are trying one special experiment. They decided to live together. As the viewer, you are like: "This interests me! Let's see how they live together, then." But then, what does this show do? Instantly puts distractions and disturbances in. His relatives (whom he left, but obviously they're SO funny that they won't ever pi** off) do meddle in, instead of exploring how she'll get along with the man, she needs to strive to please THEM, there is a condition that she can't get intimate with him (like, WTF?), blah blah blah... It's like this drama is written by people saying to you: "See, we won't let you watch the drama so easily!"
Final was a bit anticlimax. At least I wanted Guo Yu in that hot lava. The most interesting character already left the drama.... I didn't really care whether Hui Ru gets arrested or whether Feng-Tian Li dies. 9 stars out of 10.
Hmmm... I can see I that I dropped this at 6/8. I no longer really remember it (that's why I keep my MDL records:), but it must've been really exciting, lol.
At 4/8 Okay, now I remember why I read in one review, that: "There's no cliched trope so stupid that they won't do it twice." Either way, is this a slapstick comedy that they need to knock him out and bring him into somebody's house where "Aiaoon" is ready with the inch-tape and Nawee is like a vampire who wasn't invited in? "I can't be in this house." Then we get a hug scene because he is missing his mommy. Yeah, that was obvious since episode 1:-) The tailor is way too nice to Nawee. Esp. considering that he doesn't need his bussiness. Then the tailor pricks his finger as obviously he is green in using a needle, so Nawee jumps right to his vampire instincts... obviously:-) The tailor breaths with his mouth open and his eyes wide open... We'we watched that reaction about 3rd time in a row. Some homo is wailing his love song in the background. Yeah, we got that cue, thanks. This time, tailor goes another level so he needs to leave the room, pressing his hand on his heart (like, literally). I mean Chap Suppacheep is HOT but you could imagine 1000 other ways to use him in a drama... which could come out better, LOL. Episode was kinda too long despite being short. It seemed prolonged each time as if you already watched it, be it any obvious scene of our Obvious Lead Couple, or the "bickering" of the Obvious Second Couple In The Making (just make them argue about Anything & Everything, you watched 'Love By Chance', haven't you?). I feel like giving up on thai production, either I drop this to spare myself, or I'll watch this to the end but it will be my last thai bl.
An absolute masterpiece!! Now I understand why this drama won the Baeksang Award over other good dramas like Crash…
I had to smile reading this... I dropped 'When the Camellia Blooms'. I didn't even attempt 'Crash Landing On You' after reading the synopsis. I appreciated 'Hot Stove League' too at first, yet I was not able to bring myself to complete 11th episode since June. Awarded dramas are great in theory, just bit tough to actually watch;-)
You know what, after finding this drama's main couple on another drama called 'Sh**ting Stars', I decided to re-watch & finish this drama (I left it at 12/15). I'll use this as a break from 'Sh**ting Stars', at least, lol.
I'm at 1/2 of it... It's starting to look like they should literally put written explanation under the scenes in this drama. I REALLY don't get any of this. LOL I'm sorry but ML does look like he's just pulling FL's leg & making fun of her. I don't know whether it's the script or the acting. I just know it's not working. I even think that FL should go for the slightly boring lawyer, instead. At least Lee Jung Shin is really hot. Though I admit it's hard to notice in this drama. They did some unflattering hair & makeup.
FL and ML actually get together quite early. Then it's getting repetitive with ML's "fateful women" who show up with their drama (which usually takes up whole episode). First it's his "sister", then his estranged mother, then his ex..... Currently I'm at episode 8, getting also generally bored. They're not very compatible couple, he's a bit old for her, often shown smoking and looking bit tired with her constant skipping around. Him being deaf was source of enough drama but it can't suffice for ever at this stage they're together it hardly matters and I don't care at all. I considered dropping the show but people say that she'll sleep with someone else and he'll slap her. So, I continued with epi 9 hoping that will happen soon, and perhaps break the boredom for me...
EPISODE 3 I really don't get why is Akiha so curious. In her place, I wouldn't want to know about his pitiful story with his sister-in-law... Most important thing is she got her huge loan interest free and was able to save her grandmother. Rest is his problem. And that pet shop "friend" who is a complete stranger and suddenly stucks to her like a glue looks like typical writer's construct, that boy does not gel organically. Actually Akiha's boss is quite likeable, he has the right age & personality, pitty he's taken he'd be perfect for her. Her cold-shoulder fake hubby, not so much. I checked the Tags, there IS "Female Chases Male First", looks like we won't be spared of watching her running after him like a beggar. If they're the endgame couple, let it at least come from him. Even still, when I watch these kind of stories where ML loves someone very much for a very long time, then suddenly starts loving someone else (even if that someone is FL), I tend to prefer that he would stick with his first love. I don't buy her being suddenly "in love" with him, either. And after listening to that vague past story? Nothing was explained. That girl became friend of the family, she got close with them all, if anything then with him in particular. Suddenly she marries the other brother. Huge chunk was missing in that story, or it's "adapted from a manga", then I have NO further questions for it, LOL.
I'm at epi 3 and it all mellowed down and I'm bored.
