I don't know if it's due to watching the cut-version, but I found this show unexpected boring. It's like there's…
Might be even if you watched the un-cut version, 'cause I'm watching it (it's available in 1080p mkv to download) and it's a C-DRAMA FIRST, everything else second.
Okay, synopsis tells me NOTHING (with many words), the Tags are discouraging. Top reviews are all ambiguous and the only Discussion is a person asking someone to explain the ending. LOL I think I'll pass.
Depends. Personally, I liked the drama version more. Do try yourself 1 or 2 eps of the show to find out if it…
Yeah, plan on doing exactly that. But not more because if such material gets adapted into 12 episode drama I say it's worse, because it steals even more of your time.
This show was put on the ice by me during episode 1, right after I first saw that "sexy boyfriend"... LOL
It's a pitty with the cast, the guy that's supposed to be the hot construction worker has a gaunt face like a scarecrow and slimy hair. He should at least cut it more short, if nothing it would be more practical at that work of his, LOL. Either way, he doesn't give off the right vibe for the role. When he was all sweating at the construction site with the main heroine looking lustfully at him, it would be great & funny if he really was attractive. But he looked morelike he was ill person sweating in fever... Pale and sinewy, yes. Muscly and sexy, no. So, this main point of the show was not working for me since episode 1... I thought let's see the fiancee, perhaps I'll cheer for the girl to stay with him, even if I know he's not the endgame.
But the fiancee has almost identical hairstyle. Only A BIT shorter. Eesh... What's up with that? He's got like uncle hair... And uncle face, despite being young. And it looks like he's developing a future wart on his chin. At the main girl's place, I'll run away from BOTH.
After first 11 minutes of the runtime, I knew I have no one to ship, here. I'm sorry, they might be good quality character actors, but there's definitely NO ONE SEXY, HERE. They kinda ruined this drama with this cast. I later watched the rest of the 1st epi + epis 2 & 3, no longer looking for any kind of eye candy, only to find that it turned into some kind of absurd comedy. Let's see what happens...
OMG. So they're him 43 and her 28? The original couple was him 23 and her 21, both super hot... No, I'm not talking about the crazy 80's-like hairdos version... But, this looks no less crazy, it's like they could have cast the original guy, he is still alive he would be only 47 in this, so what the hell. The SECOND couple in this is hot I cannot lie. Still, a bizarre looking remake in a way... Interesting how the coronavirus cutting this from 20 eps to 13 was actually helpful. LOL
Basically, subtitled version is here: https://alwaysgrumpycat.com/rissaya-2016/ So far subbed 10/15 because this is listed as a "Paid Project" of the subber, which means they wait for enough money to arrive to continue the work, which can take years. So I guess if you care enough to make a Donation you can speed things up. First 9 epis on Dailymotion: https://www.dailymotion.com/playlist/x5835p
I'm interested in piano background music in this drama, there is an OST on youtube with tracks like 'Crisis Ridden', 'Fragments' or 'Final Appointment', but none of that is it. I never even found any site with information about what music this show used. Whether those piano tunes were original for this drama or were there borrowed from somewhere else.
Yeah I'd like to point out that 99% k-dramas I ever watched NEVER showed opening and it only showed the "15" or "12" sign and so I was robbed of the experience. Should I now google the openings of all the k-dramas I ever watched? Sometimes they're not even on youtube
I'm enjoying this small anthology series, BIG thanks to furritsubs;-) These little stories are SOOOO adorable & enjoyable for each minute of their little runtime. With the weirdo exception of epi 12, these are equally good, or maybe better, than some long dramas;-)
What's up with the mother taking her daughter to get a contraception procedure at the age of 17 if she does NOT…
Really? Well forgive me but it never occur to me how could contraception affect MENSTRUAL CRAMPS. I'm afraid you'll get those no matter what LOL And if I don't get this then it's possible I was not the only viewer. I no longer remember the show much but I remember a form of prostitution was fixed for the main boy right at the FIRST epi or something (so it's not spoiler about something happening later on) and he found THE main girl coming at this fixed meeting. So I think you should un-spoiler your answer for people to know this was NOT about her being prostituted. Else they might DROP the show. I remember I wanted to. I had to check now whether I have it Completed...
Normally I avoid any Supernatural or Fantasy like cr*p, but this is a funny show.
Basically it's all Romance stuff but the way it's filmed it's like it's a Thriller LOL
Of course it all gets more and more stupid the more it progresses (which you can expect with anything that has a supernatural element in it) so only the hilarious scenes save it (what I appreciate is the hilarious scenes of the MAINS, not some comic-relief-purpose-only side characters) because the romance kinda gets smacked in the mouth by the special ability the girl has. First, she says to the guy that they'll sleep together in the future, and that she wants to double check it, which practically changes the "Male Chases Female First" to the exact opposite. Then, the hot spontaneous bedscene from the future actually never happens, and we have the mains only talking about it. Then there's loads of childhood backstory and past trauma which does not interest me and spoils my party while the show's writing gradually gets all over the place.
Kim Ji Suk's side-character line is deeper in compare to the usual second lead syndrome, because he's got some history with the female lead, due to her special ability which made her see his future with another woman while he KISSED HER. He made a whole movie about it, which I found poignant, actually. Still, this only stole the thunder from the main love story further.
In the end, the mixture of corny supernatural & childhood backstory & bordering on parodic comedy makes an erratic watch, and the only consistent quality is presented in the title SONG and the Opening.
STILL, if someone's hesitating whether to watch this, let me point out that the bed scenes are are SO worth watching. Finally we don't see some awkward whippersnapper wearing more makeup than the female lead giving her a dead fish kiss and then quick edit to next scene :D NO, the male lead is HOT! Especially in context of k-dramas. He is no boy in his twenties, he is no baby face, and HE DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A GIRL!!!
What's up with Shin Seung Ho wearing "weirdo serial killer" haircut? He is HOT, why do they have to do that to him? Can't they cut male's hair normally in korea or WHAT??
1
I think I'll pass.
Everybody, get a new haircut.
