It looks like this show will be more fun because there are no usual boring virginal FLs: sadly, it is not true.
The three 'Iron Ladies' are all the same, look the same, all of them wearing middle-long hair, one seems younger, one seems older but wears the most flashy make-up, one is like totally bland. None of them is interesting so the hope was that at least something interesting happens to them. No such luck.
As for MLs, the cutest guy here is the boy from HIStory;-) Well, today's men look more & more feminine. Wu Ben has no choice but to wear the standard ONE hairstyle for all the males (SHAVE the hair at the bottom and around the ears. Leave the top hair longer.... than it should be) even after he supposedly undergoes a makeover (during which they just flip his hair from side to side, the haircut remains same), but okay, he is cute (a lil´ feminine while doing the photoshot, but like I said that's the norm today). The "Hollywood level amazing" (as described in the top review) Lan Gabriel is over fourty so he at least lost that baby-ish look which I suppose makes him look more manly (there's not much competition for him here anyways) and he does not over-act so I guess he's okay though I am afraid he actually is just a bit aged version of the same.
Overall I lost my general interest after 3 episodes. I keep watching through a massive self-will to finish 5 episodes, then I gave up.
Funny... The guy looks nothing like the game prince... Who looks nothing special to begin with lol Why would mature woman like that type? Btw. the game looks super boring LOL
Yeah, also watching this David Asavanond. This guy was trying for some sort of hippie style in almost all his roles, for some reason.. The full beard and long hairdo of course makes him look like hundred, yet he's actually handsome (like on his MDL profile pic:) but obviously he has decided THAT is not going to be what defines his roles. I was looking forward to this drama for this specific reason. Here I expect I'll finally see what kind of roles he's been striving for all this time hiding his good looks:)
As a heart-warming human/family comedy? Yes. You get rid of your prejudice against sex-stereotypes and learn to really appreciate the beauty of simplicity and hard work, be it office work, or house work: something called a blue collar job. I for one kinda disagree that housework is a "ladies job". It's actually quite strenuous and at times you need surprising amount of physical strength! And, just the idea of me coming home from my exhausting work, where WARM FOOD is waiting for me, is moving me to TEARS. So, the "male housekeeper" can take all the pride in his work! What he does is not just cleaning the things. He's helping the well being of the living person among those things. Because even if the person is logically aware that the reason is, in all fairness, that they simply had not enough time after long working hours and were too exhausted to do more cleaning, living in the filthy house attacks your subconciousness, it is unknowingly disturbing, somehow telling you that it's your fault, that you are too lazy, that YOU are filthy. What Mr. Nagisa does, can be compared to doctors, social workers and others who help people!:-)
As a romance? No. The female lead has potential romance with 3 (maybe even 4) options. She's nice, pretty and young enough to be considerably attractive, still she's nothing so special to be wooed on every step wherever she goes. Nevertheless, in romance department this drama fails. We are not sure about real feelings of the male lead until like last 5 minutes of the drama. And we need to wait even longer for these to be cleared with the female lead and I was wrong in my guess. She loved someone else than I thought which rarely happens, mostly when the drama fails to deliver it to me. There was a guy whom she was able to really talk to, she like never talked things straight with the guy she ended up with at last moment. I always felt there was a wall, we never knew what he felt, first he was supposed to have "motherly" aspirations, he also kinda behaved like her servant till the last day and their confession was pretty awkward (though they tried to make it funny). In the end, I had kinda surreal feeling.
Reading the synopsis: "She then remembers that they have not been intimate in the past two months." Okay, a wife who does not notice she does not slept with her husband for 2 months BUT she is supposed to be "happily" married LOL
Koreans should STOP kissing with eyes open LOLI honestly admire how can they even do that, isn't that like the…
What's worse is that having their eyes open is like a signal that they're not really into it. So it sends the wrong message & ruins even the best possible kiss for the audience.
Not boring, but bizarre yes. I notice short runtime j-dramas tend to be nonsensical. Everything is super speedy to a fault. Episode 2 no longer looks like a drama, but some kind of smutfic, with super weird characters. What am I watching? :D '20 Minutes With Psychos'? Episode 3 adds whole flashback line, as if this super-short runtime show was not over the top with everything already. It's some past-trauma bordering on crime thingy SO not interested and we've seen the main couple in bed couple of times already so DROPPED.
Sometimes I wonder why brilliant shows get the odd 1 star review, and you have just explained it to me. Thank…
Oh no I did not rate this show. You can think whatever you like about me but I don't rate dramas badly just because I didn't fancy several minutes of it for my own personal crazy reason. I did not rate it and I did not write a review. I just made a comment which I thought would be funny more than anything else, honestly... Turns out people on MDL are rather a serious sort.
just the last kiss was good, the 1st one he was with his eyes open and in the 2nd one she was the one with eyes…
Koreans should STOP kissing with eyes open LOL I honestly admire how can they even do that, isn't that like the first physical reflex to close them LOL
Okay, 10th episode a KISS got interrupted and I didn't even mind... Good that this is 15 shorts eps only, else I might drop this for the lack of interest. EDiT: Yet another show where I reach 12/15 and I'm no longer interested in however it ends. Dropped.
