The scene with her therapist, when she was asked what feelings reflects in her emotions watch, and she said nothing.…
right but that’s mostly a giveaway of how that trope usually starts. as far as i have seen, stress is often used as a storytelling shorthand for terminal illness, and she’s showing symptoms too. Add to that how self destructive her feelings are, as she said. Not that I’m sure she’ll be diagnosed or anything, but it wouldn’t be surprising if it actually happens. Besides I want to be wrong too.
I lowkey think there's going to be a terminal illness trope at the end. We are seeing the signs and i won't be surprised if eun-a ends up with a terminal illness by the end. It'll make for a tragic story that I'm thinking they are going for given all the talks about world ending. I think it'll fit the subtext of the story pretty well, that the protagonists are not powerful afterall.
This show is something I would recommend to someone going through tough times. Not only does it uplift you, it acknowledges your emotions. I am in awe at how beautiful it was. We are only two episodes in but this has me contemplating about my life. Honestly, i didn't even look into any technical details, not that I'm an expert at that, but i didn't need to. The emotions were so raw. The characters are so fleshed out that it feels invasive to watch them. This might be one of my favourite protagonist ever. He is quite insufferable but still so charming. I don't think this drama intends to evoke pity for these characters, instead it wants you to see how real these people are. And i respect that. To sum it all up, i am beyond impressed and relieved that I'm no longer in a drama slump after this.
But in most of the k dating shows outspoken and extrovert female contestants are least liked
I think it's more so the preferred trait for a woman there in dating. But here both men and women are awkward. You don't need to be an extrovert to be able to hold a conversation with strangers. And ironically the most quirky and extroverted of them is most liked. So I think it's both looks and communication skills that are important.
I think min ju is my favourite so far. She is so adorable, so pretty aaand she is funny. Comeon. Among men, Yeol might be the most likable of them all. Like what a bunch of clueless men. I've never seen a dating show where they are so focused on a woman that they forget everything that happens around them. I found it pretty rude and ignorant tbh. Girls on the other hand, have different personalities and honestly, all of them are likable. I just hope everyone grows on each other. Right now it feels really stuffy to watch them interact except that kitchen couple(forgot the name haha). I must add the amount of awkward silence is a little frustrating to me but I trust the slow burn.
EUN BIN my GOAT!!! everyone absolutely adores her and rightfully so. so so so excited for this one! im lowkey side eyeing the cha eun woo casting but we'll see.
Another banger of a drama!! I love love this type of genre and I think korea brings the best out of them, be it webtoons or dramas. I just hope it's better than night has come.
this looks interesting, given the lack of enemies to lovers in recent kdramas. im seeing some skepticism around the ml. haven't really noticed him in dramas, kinda forgettable, but his looks suit the role ngl.
why is the sfl getting a more compelling character arc than both main leads combined? whether it’s the acting or the personality, she stands out far more. The fl(not iu) on the other hand, is quite unlikable so far. I’m sorry but I’m not a fan of stalking being brushed off as quirky behavior. I mean, how eccentric do you have to be to think everyone should act according to your preferences? as for the ml, he is just bland. Idk what direction they are taking this in, but holy, you couldn't have had a more boring ml for a "romcom". The show had two full eps to establish his personality, yet there’s barely anything there. A "cold" character doesn’t have to mean being expressionless half the time. the lack of screen time and dialogues isn’t helping him either. I’ve seen some of woo seok’s previous work, ik he can act, but boy is he failing to deliver in this drama. That said i actually prefer the sml’s dynamic with the fl. Maybe because she feels more likable when she’s around him. Apart from that, is the comedy in the room with us? Hello? It's all crickets, nevermind. Overall, the drama could have benefited from a stronger screenwriter. There are far too many clichés here. And despite all the flashy production, you still end up with a mess of a drama. Still, I have some hope left, mainly because the sfl's arc shows genuine potential and it's keeping me hooked. And don’t come at me with pitchforks, ik it’s only been two eps, but that’s exactly why opening episodes matter in a drama. If it can’t attract the audience early on, then it’s the drama that needs improving.
Imho, the first ep was mid. An eye candy experience, if you must. If you strip away the lead actors and replace them with others of the same acting calibre, this wouldn’t be getting as glazed lol. I’m choosing not to judge the acting yet since there’s only been one episode. But the drama is already so full of cliches that it’s honestly disappointing. So far it leans toward the same generic tropes we’ve seen in kdramas. I’m not against that. I’m just wondering if it will work for this drama specifically. I don’t want to sound like a forced critic, but the hype around this drama is so real that you can’t help but expect something new and extraordinary. So far it’s far from that. The production is appealing, but that’s as far as it goes. And yes, im talking about just the first ep. I’m hoping it proves me wrong as the story progresses.
idk exactly what it is about this drama, but it fills me with such melancholic optimism that I can’t ignore it whenever it appears on my page. the poster pretty much encapsulates that feeling.
i think this drama had a really solid start and that kinda increased my expectations. and unfortuantely for me that didn't work out very well because im bored now. is the main couple's dynamic different? yes. is it interestingly different? NO. everything is so...eh. like i get it you guys are a healthy couple and everything is fine. but why am i watching you? you aren't giving me anything to look forward to. in hindsight the secondary couple is quite lovely AND interesting. but i don't watch a drama for a secondary couple. but i really nice drama apart from that.
To sum it all up, i am beyond impressed and relieved that I'm no longer in a drama slump after this.

so so so excited for this one!
