this is a game show with prize MONEY, @ the end of the day, everyone is for their own selves.
- HSJ - Anyone who knows him knows he has the brains and smart, admire his calmness throughout the game and the true attitude of a game player to compete with capable players and not tag along players. But as i have mentioned, it's a prize MONEY game, lurking inside is cunningness to win and go for it whatever way. But hands up to him for getting his goal mostly all on his own... DESERVE He is on point with what he said about playing the game, and not about alliances. Player should be player not tag along - LSW - don't know why, but i don't trust her, she perfectly fits in office environment climbing the corporate ladder... she is much more cunning than HSJ, she approaches each member to use and discard them after use... - BWK - he's young and kind and so naive, easily believe someone.... has not contributed much to the show, if he is not an idol then he will also just be a tag along - PKR - mother role, has not mark her presence much, except for that EP01 where she solved the puzzle by luck - GP - his presence would have made the show much more competitive, he's a game player - KDJ - same as GP.. members distrust him right from EP01 bcoz he played like what a player should be doing, made his position shown like an open book to all members - SDJ - got the brains also, and i knew she will nail the memory game, she's a LAWYER... Also on the same page with her on what she said to ORBIT who keeps on apologizing to LSW - ORBIT - not sure i believe or doubt him... he's either a Samaritan or a manipulator... same feeling as what LSW said to him directly... but this is a game, as I have said, everyone plays to achieve their goal to get the prize MONEY - CYW - GO Player, so she really able to participate in one game only, should just have been eliminated
that amnesia on top of amnesia is already overplayed so much round and round and round it goes, not sure if the writer thinks viewers are stupid or the writer herself is stupid SaRa believes her own lies, holding onto it and not letting go, another stupidity 15-20 stupid episodes
Great article! I agree with you for the most part. For a couple of those reasons, I tend to stay away from historical.…
My Opinion: 步步驚心 Scarlet Heart (2011) - Original, watch this first... Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016) - Korean adaptation, dropped this, got bored with it, can't catch up with the original. Korean adaptation got higher MDL rating bcoz' the actors are known, it's Korean
As a sequel, Forever and Ever while watchable, for me unfortunately did not capture the beauty of One and Only…
Yes, of course, One and Only is a lot more memorable (even if a very sad ending) than Forever and Ever.... I just suggested to continue to watch the sequel to have a happy feeling.
My main point is, not take it as historical, so as not to mislead the viewers, as it really is not.
The past life (which is One and Only) was only touched upon as memory, a very small part of the ROMANCE novel.
Also, "Forever and Ever" was shot first before 'One and Only" while "One and Only" was made available to viewers first.
SPOILER:
"One and Only" - It hit me deeply as to what has been done to male character lead, and the last walk of the female character lead is a very very long and sad walk, but I still re-watch that last walk. And I will watch the series again.
the ML CANNOT ACT, i cringe each time the ML is on screen
he is the weakest in this series, even the side characters are better than him
i think FL young age is just about right for the role

Just like to mention, most are saying this is a historical drama, but it is not accurate... so, don't associate it with history, it is just a fiction.
