Okay, my liking for this drama is reduced. I understand the mental wounds of the persons involved in the incident were deep and it will take time to heal, and many many people complain when dramas show very sudden resolution of these stuffs, but for me concentrating on this aspect throughout several episodes, with the depression, crying and consoling continuously is not a good watch. I was dreading this when I saw this aspect brought up so early in the drama, that this will just drag on for next 7-8 episodes, and it seems that is what is going to happen, if not escalate. I was hoping for a nice sports romance like Racket boys with focus on improvement of badminton skills and teamwork while having just enough emotional baggage a la our beloved summer, but the balance went out of whack for me.
Gonna have to reduce it's rating i this continues, was loving it for first 6-7 episodes was my favourite of the batch.
Also with all the suicide prevention discussions happening below, I shall reiterate something I said before, I always considered this drama to portray why people think of committing suicide and not how to prevent one. To be honest how to prevent suicide is a very nuanced topic that cannot ever be fully and accurately portrayed in a dramatic fashion.
Did not expect this episode to go in this direction. Sure some plot devices were used, but it was riveting, edge of the seat stuff for the last 30 minutes. wew. Incredibe incredible series.
Someone wrote in the comments this had a Rookie cops vibe, totally agree. I think this is a mixture of Rookie cops playfulness and Our Beloved Summer's 'overcoming a shitty situation' setup. Since both are my faves, it's no wonder this one has become my favourite of the season over the more heavyweights.
This and Love all play relaxes me from the depression I get every week from watching tomorrow. glad the ratings reflect the quality of the show much better now.
This drama is fun to watch or to pass time but if someone takes it seriously and tried to treat people with suicidal…
I would say the drama addresses why people think of committing suicide, not how to prevent it. Too many people today actually blame the victim in case of suicide, it is an attempt to show that this can happen to anybody. Plus I would say the first contact methods are not too bad, what it fails is to show what happens after, but then again with the case of the week format it's not very easy to show that.
With all the heavyweight dramas I have been watching this season, Tomorrow, Again my life, My liberation notes, this is the one I can't wait to watch and refresh the site every thursday and wednesday after it airs. It's got a strange charm to it, plus sports+romance are my favourite genre, gobbled up everything of this genre during my anime watching days. Loved Racket boys too. Hope more of these kind of drama will be released in future.
Tomorrow's ep 5 and 6 are two of the most heart-wrenching k drama episodes I have watched in a year. I lost track of time while watching them, was totally glued. Great article. The different scriptwriters are sort of blatantly obvious due to the tone and direction of the different cases involved, but overall this is my current favourite drama of the season. I love Again my life too but lets see how it pans out. The way they are creating suicide awareness is so refreshing, I tend to avoid any medium in these topics but I was intrigued because of fantasy, good thing I checked it out, for once it was so healing and not triggering at all.
Didn't like ep 3 much but ep 4 again was out of the park. Some issues with narration and jump cuts, no idea why the flashback happened at that instant, felt jarring, but overall the vibe is really nice, I dig it. Hope it continues like this.
Alright, I don't really dislike this drama, but don't really like it either. I don't mind spending 1hr on it on weekends relaxing and seeing the good visuals, but they criminally underused Park Min Young's ability to act in rom coms by making this too much about problems than the romance. When there was romance those moments shone. Not to say the problems of different couples are not realistic, they are very real, and hits close to home, but somewhere they forgot to mix in cute moments of the main couples. If your favourite couple is like the fourth lead couple, then something is definitely off. I appreciate the research behind weather forecasting, and have no problems with exaggeration, it's a drama it's supposed to exaggerate, but the execution feels off. This should go lower than 8/10 once it ends I believe.
I love this. I love when thrillers mix romance and character interaction and relationships and drive the plot through their emotions and decisions. This was a masterpiece in that regard. No wonder the director won Baeksang Awards, Yes you have to suspend disbelief quite a few times, but it's worth it because it drives the plot to more interesting heights.
