The mom is alive but she stayed with the grandma after dad's death ..... why??
Her former mother-in-law was the only accepting and stable "family" figure she has from her pre-rich life. She wanted to throw away the rich madam in her that she grew to loathe. She wanted to return to her old self and she realized, her former MIL was the only one she could return to.
I honestly don’t get this show. Why did eunbyul disappear
If I remember it correctly, Eunbyul did not initially plan to disappear but it had to happen when she saved her twin sister from drowning. Already filled with guilt because of her best friend's death, she felt another wave of guilt upon realizing that her twin sister, whose adoption process she sabotaged, was extremely bullied for being an orphan to the point that she even wanted to commit suicide.
Since she's been wanting to run away and evaluate her life anyway, she took that as an opportunity for her sister Eunbi to finally live the life that was supposedly for her if not for Eunbyul's lie. It was all unplanned but it felt right for her to do so. Little did she know that Eunbi would suffer from temporary amnesia, making her have more time to self-reflect.
Love Alarm and Nevertheless are different though so it's hard to compare. LA started with innocent and clueless highschoolers who are still trying to find themselves and are starting to build personal relationships. Nevertheless, on the other hand, has characters who are already in college, has tons of relationship experience and are quite mature in handling their own personal problems. In terms of maturity, Nevertheless deals with Love Alarm 2's age group. With regard to the storytelling, I find Nevertheless better than LA2 as it's clearer, more consistent, and honest.
And if I were to rate, although the three dramas are beautiful in their own way, I'd personally go for Nevertheless.
yes, I personally loved it. Recommended it to some friends who are not that fond of historical dramas and surprisingly they fell in love with this one. You may want to try. It was really filmed very well and EXPENSIVELY (it's very apparent)! :D
I watched the drama at the time of airing but dropped it because of the abrupt lead change because I didn't felt…
It's really hard to decide especially considering that both versions were done very well. Allow me to perhaps provide you an insight regarding the two options.
(a) You may want to start with the NIW Ondal for continuity's sake. I also feel like his new 6 episodes feel more vibrant than the first. I found his version more charming than the previous one.
(b) If you start from where you left off, it's still okay but you would really need time to take in all the changes. Adjustment phase is required although props to the cast, they made the adjustment smooth and bearable. It's just that, NIW's interpretation of Ondal is very different from that of Jisoo's. That's where you'd primarily adjust on actually. Since you started with Jisoo, you'd think Ondal is this confident, foolish, brave, and strong character. But with NIW, Ondal is this raw, pure, innocent, sweet, and very light character who'd develop into a mature and brave general. It really gives off a different vibe. Even Sohyun had to adjust her acting style to suit the synergy with this new Ondal.
I'm not saying either actor was bad because none of them was. It really boils down to their respective interpretation. However, the writer shared in an interview that as soon as he saw NIW walk down on the set during his first taping, he was so surprised to see the Ondal that he wrote. Even more so when he started acting. He felt so happy about the chemistry with Sohyun too that he changed some episodes and added more romantic scenes. Good thing the Director loved the changes too. They changed the 6th episode by the way to make it coherent with the next eps.
So yeah, they really did film 2 dramas in a span of 5-6 months. If you start where you left off, you would still want to check the new version anyway hahaha.
Hmm, I want to watch this for Kim So Kyun and what seems like an interesting character that she is playing. I…
It's about the female lead considering the premise of the story is about her birth and life. However, the male lead character's story is equally compelling. So you'd get both.
Suggest me some heart breaking dramas so that I can cry?
Chicago Typewriter (The last few episodes wrecked me so much. It took me weeks to recover) Prison Playbook Mr. Sunshine My Mister (for these 3 dramas, the whole situation is just sad. My heart cries for them) Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo Hi, Bye Mama Catch the Ghost (trigger warning: the FL's character is a bit annoying) Hotel del Luna (the side stories and the (my) main couple)
Second! So will he be learning Filipino? And which actress might they cast as his mother? and HE DREAMS TO BECOME A BOXER???? Gosh. So this is a Pacman-inspired tale then.
The best “accidental click” on Youtube way back in 2017. This drama really changed my life and since then I have been paying an annual visit/rewatch. It just feels new and amazing each time. My favorite go-to c-drama everrrr!
Anyone who has watched the refilmed versions, is the only difference the ML scenes? No scenes added/deleted?
There were some deleted scenes to make way for the added scenes in ep 6. Some scenes also looked new due to changes in venue, script, and presumably NIW’s ad libs (ex. From being tripped to hugging, KSH’s reaction to NIW’s ad libs, etc.).
Since she's been wanting to run away and evaluate her life anyway, she took that as an opportunity for her sister Eunbi to finally live the life that was supposedly for her if not for Eunbyul's lie. It was all unplanned but it felt right for her to do so. Little did she know that Eunbi would suffer from temporary amnesia, making her have more time to self-reflect.
