"amazingly short series that was binge-worthy" LOL what's the point of the series being refreshingly short, when you'd binge it anyways "It has a bit of a 'She Was Pretty' vibe to it" Let's hope it's just a BIT, I hated 'She Was Pretty'.
"45-year-old Kamon Hiro works as a librarian because she loves books. Although she is worshipped as the “aloof beauty” and “ideal female” for her beautiful, gentle smile and amiability, she actually dislikes people." WOW, THEY MADE A DRAMA ABOUT ME!!! LMAO
How often are the ending credits so much more beautiful than the opening ones? How often are the first episodes of a drama so much better than the rest? At 1st episode, I already loved this more than Bride's Revenge/Maid's Revenge. LOL. I just couldn't with those two... I mean, they managed to make even a wound-treating look like sex:-D And I love the lead actress. I mean, I've seen so many chinese pretties. But I LOVE her. This time, I really do believe the male lead that he loves the Begonia;-) He doesn't even need to say it, just the look in his eyes. He's like livid when someone touches her:-) And I could also relate to her story, how much she loved her brother, they delivered to me so well in the short screentime. It all happened/got solved like in 5 minutes, but it made you care about them. So, in terms of small c-dramas, I can recommend this one.
Noticed how the ending credits are beautiful in compare with the opening ones. This is the case with all these short c-dramas..... The Final could be called As Idiotic As China Itself. Yeah, they will keep making the romanticized tv trying to smoke-screen all the collosal cr.p the whole mega-country is in :-D
I had the same exact experience, couldn't handle it, I rarely rarely drop dramas, but I dropped it
Well, I'll need to beware of dramas that have "Genres: Business" in their profile. I mean, I don't consider that even a proper Genre, we do know that the characters in a drama do work somewhere, but to include their actual work talk in the drama's dialogue? That seems morelike writer's failure to me, than genesis of new Genre. These "Bussiness" dramas are mostly c-dramas. I don't know what's with the communist China that they feel the need to stretch for the viewers so much that the people do work, lol. But, that's the beauty of MDL, to be able to check things beforehand. So, I'll definitely will be visiting drama's pages before I begin to watch. If "Bussiness" is listed 1st in Genres, I say avoid those. Or you might end up dropping dramas more often than "rarely rarely";-)
Really? Which episode number? Post a time stamp:-)
I'm not asking because I want to jump right into it. But I advocate for it being posted. I am for making a thread. Also Soundtrack thread, for each drama. For the songs.
I have nothing against ML but I just find him ordinary, not "charming af" as everyone gushes... Also all the work talk is boring the sh.t out of me. Dropped... This is no fun & I'm not interested in it "romantically", either.
It definitely advertises DRINKING SOLO, as the title claims. It's not something just said once, it gets reminded each new episode, again. We watch yet more opening with ML saying why he loves drinking solo and all the reasons, which, like or not, are SO spot on. The ending WAS kinda mellow. But you know what? I don't really NEED to see them running after each other and making a big scene the last minute one of them is leaving on a plane from the airport. The ending was actually unique kind of sweet. Showing all the people AT THE MOMENT drinking solo, despite being non-solo:-) (Being ALONE is another thing. THAT you can be even with people.)
Episode 1: Okay, the 40 year old male romantic lead (somehow, he looks even older) is already in love with himself, and obviously believes that he looks like korean David Bowie no less:-) Either way, to the lead female, he acts like the boss from 'Devil Wears Prada'... Episode 2: Great start (the onions!:-) a bit disappointing ending (the amnesia). Note: That actress portraying Baek Soo Young looks so similar to FL, that at first I thought her plot's gonna be she's her lost sister, or smth. I feel that she is very surplus and I started to skip all her scenes after episode 5. Episode 3-6: What I found the most positive is the new anarchy with which FL can now behave towards all the people who used to humiliate and downgrade her, knowing that she's got nothing to lose. Episode 7, FL decides to forgive ML. She resignes and is about to just leave ML in the dust, after making some small final revenges, which I loved. But then there comes one more major twist, which saves the heroine, but in a way, I feel regret that FL just lost her edge, her anarchy. I still wish that ML had known at some point that she was so enraged with him because she learned that he practically "killed her":-D. Now, FL's back to being scared of him. I didn't want this.... Epi 8: Still watching, but my fun kinda dropped. We're obviously supposed to root for ML, but I root for FL only. There is even a kiss (!) and I'm like: I'm not shipping this. Epi 9: That friend DID look too good to be true. But, it's like sad. Clearly the writer wanted me to feel sympathy with ML, now. But it does not make me like him. Also, the actor looks too old for all these flashbacks, lol. I don't care about the whole ex gf plot... I kept checking how much runtime is left on the episode, fidgeting in my seat. Considering the way my fun dropped & I'm not interested in this "romantically", I might not complete all 16 episodes of this... Suddenly, near the end of this episode, FL starts acting with crazy anarchy, again. She is no longer dying, is she? Makes NO sense, now. I was thrilled with something similar in episode TWO. Now, I am dropping this.

The dyed shade of his hair made me LAUGH.
I was hoping the release has internal subs inside MKVs, but it looks like it doesn't.

"It has a bit of a 'She Was Pretty' vibe to it"
Let's hope it's just a BIT, I hated 'She Was Pretty'.

End credits are beautiful... And better than the opening ones.
