This is beyond my expectations. It's not the first time that I love a certain Thai series but this is absolutely phenomenal. The acting, the sound effects, the cinematography, everything about it is just so good. Not to mention, the chemistry of Win and Prim. I hope there's a S2 for this (especially knowing that Yiwah has something to do with the enigma. I knew it from the start that she's something else)
Update: It seems like after watching the latest content, the reunion. Heeji and Pyeongseok are confirmed to be…
Yes. :( Or if not, she's still not yet ready knowing that she got a huge admiration for Seyeon. I'm assuming that even after the show ended, she still got 'those' feelings for him and it wasn't easy for her to move on immediately.
I still believe that there were parts that are scripted but one thing's for sure, they did have feelings for each…
Update: It seems like after watching the latest content, the reunion. Heeji and Pyeongseok are confirmed to be still dating along with Jiwoo and Junghyun but it's a bit odd for Yerin and Jimin. :((
I still believe that there were parts that are scripted but one thing's for sure, they did have feelings for each other and perhaps, even up to now they still do (like Yerin and Jimin for example, or Heeji and Pyeongseok, or Jiwoo and Junghyun.) You can really tell from their "ELLE" interview and their Instagram accounts (especially Yerin and Jimin, that 'one' bracelet). Regardless, i'm definitely pleased to be able to watch this show because it gave me a lot of mixed emotions, mostly just being happy and all that. Anyway, i'm rooting for the couples (even friends) and that they may have long-lasting relationship(s).
I'm honestly happy and satisfied with the first two episodes. I was wondering if it can bring back the excitement that I felt during the first season (although I already can't remember exactly what the plot was but I still know how they work as a counter) and it did. In fact, I am sort of speechless. The villains are insane and they are much more evil this time (. . and uh hot too. Kiyoung and Hieora? Wow. ) I'm surprised too with the guy who has no eyebrows. It's my first time to see him and he already nailed his character. I also want to add Yoo In Soo. He's really versatile (just like Kiyoung). He's so funny here and I couldn't stop smiling whenever I see him.
Overall, they started it pretty nice and hopefully it's gonna end with a bang. A lot better than the first season.
This is nice, cute, and relatively new for a reality show. It felt like watching a drama but at the same time, not. However, it's pretty much obvious that it is scripted and I am not surprised anymore cause it's been going on for years when it comes to reality shows. Still, I really loved it. It made me smile.
I also have to agree with someone saying here that the hosts are not adding up to the show. They're simply like us, the viewers - giving expected reactions and stuff
I'm honestly enjoying this drama along with "When I Fly Towards You" but this one is giving me a different kind of romantic feeling. . and I just really love it. The dynamic of it and the presentation of the characters, I have to say that they're doing great. If i have to pinpoint one thing, it has something to do with her voice since it's childish/kiddish in a way (but i'm still at ep. 2) and it's also understandable to be honest cause she's growing up.
I really love this. Absolutely, one of my faves this year. I'm a sucker for youth dramas. I've been saying it over and over and I'm glad that I was able to discover this. From casts, acting, chemistry, plot? *chef's kiss* And even more with how they edited it. Although it isn't the first time but it's really smart for them to use that kind of concept, the FL recording her moments with them. The nostalgic feeling and you know the memories. It reminds me of "Ditto" by NewJeans. I keep smiling from ear to ear whenever I watch the next episode(s). Overall, it is indeed lovable and i think almost everyone definitely admire this drama.
For anyone who's doubting, this is a sign for you to watch it. Same vibes with "Unforgettable Love" and "The Love You Give Me" but in here, i can say that it gave me mixed emotions (in a good way) I smiled/laughed, cried, got disappointed and mad, everything.
Moreover, the height difference and the chemistry of the leads are so nice even the second male and female lead, however, i honestly can't take these two seriously. It's not that they don't have substance or good stories in them but i feel like they should stay as supporting characters with enough screen time and not to dive too much into their background(s). I mean don't get me wrong, it's great to know them more but again, they get a lot of scenes which quite turns me off cause i'm more invested with the main ones. An effect of this is the break up that may happen on ep. 25 which could've been done earlier thus, already considered like too late? Imagine the drama is about to end and yet there's still a possible problem between the couple. It's going to be frustrating.
About the ex, it's a bit fast for her to say that she finally healed but i'm glad that she was able to realize that the person she loved is no longer the same as he used to be. She also tried a couple of times to win him back but that's it. I'm honestly discouraged at first on how Hao Yu handled the situation because it was so unfair for Si Le. Yes, he can be somehow concerned given that Xi Chen used to be an important person in his life but it's just not right for him to attach himself again to the point that he is clearly affected by it. To say that it is inconvenient for your wife to go along with you and to always visit your ex in your OLD WEDDING ROOM, it is a bs. Even if she did a lot of things for you and you couldn't sit back seeing her like that? It's still not it. I want to applaud Si Le for being strong and brave enough to face such situations since I always feel bad for her and it hurts to see her crying ´;ω;) Glad that at the end, Hao Yu was able to assure his wife and he was able to clear it again (the scene where-in it was only him and Xi Chen talking, the last scene for the show that they're doing together) emphasizing that he already loves Si Le. Much more when Si Le witnessed it which removes the 'trust issues'
As for Ms. Tong, i definitely admire her. She's not the type of villain to drag you down to the core. I love how she ended up being friends with Si Le and her friend, Li Xin. He Qing with her please!
As for Qin Tian, he's making my blood boil. He's the biggest villain, trying to ruin the relationship of Si Le and Hao Yu. Though of course if not for him, we won't be able to look at the bigger picture which Hao Yu should've done as soon as possible (but he's scared that he might lose her so yeah)
Am I the only one who's quite satisfied with the latest episodes even if I admit that there were tons of fillers? I know we're all hoping for the divorce to happen immediately but the episodes for me were able to look at the bigger picture (the effects or the impact) of what the husband did. Specifically, how it profoundly affected the children, Sunghee and her child, and even Dr. Roy. Also, I was able to see how Dr. Cha is becoming more self-aware, she's more outspoken.
However, ep. 12 is also my last straw just like how she lost her hopes with regards to her husband due to the disability card. Please make it happen this time. It's the moment we've been all waiting for. Choose yourself :)
P.S. The children are already okay on their own and i'm sure that they're fine with whatever the decision of their mother. I'm honestly glad that they are.
As someone commented here, the drama implies how a person can go beyond for the sake of love and family and that it happens in reality. Dr. Cha is a big example of this because she chose to sacrifice herself for her children which is obviously disheartening.
Good job writers. I am absolutely satisfied and thrilled with the latest episode (episode 8 to be exact) I've been waiting for this moment. The fact that it wasn't only ONE but ALL (the daughter, son, the mother of the husband, and of course his wife) of them started to know about his affair. It was really fulfilling (but of course sad at the same time especially that scene when Dr. Cha discovered it through Sunghee's social media and she cried, it broke my heart)
I love how the children supported their mother, how they became vocal about their thoughts or not being afraid to tell what they think and feel against their father.
The feelings of Sunghee's daughter is valid but it's not an excuse to say that what she did is right. The wrong deed cannot be rectified by another wrong deed.
About Roy Kim, of course we already know that he cares for Dr. Cha or we can say that he already has feelings for her but glad that he isn't aggressively stepping the boundary line. I'm just glad that he is there for her.
Lastly, Sora. I thought I can already see her in a good light. Turns out, she's still the way she is (but i'm still hoping for her to have a character development)
Plus, that another rude girl who was supposed to switch with Dr. Cha. I love how she handled her rudeness. She's right about regardless of age, being rude is not it. Respect begets respect. It's not about whether a person is old or young but the treatment that is present in that situation.
I've been trying to find more dramas to watch and I saw that this one is making it to the top so I tried it and somehow, no regrets. I already finished all the episodes today (can't wait for the next one)
All i can say is that it was only able to leave an impression to me due to the latest episode (glad that I finished it until there because if not, there's a chance for me to drop it) The reason for the possibility of not continuing it was the pacing. It caught me off guard. Like someone commented here that the 2 episodes were the fastest episodes he or she had seen in a k-drama and I have to agree as well. The number of events surprised me to the point that it made me overwhelmed. Somehow, I think it could've been done better but still, it's nice and eventually, I was able to understand it because I realized that it was a backstory after all.
About the plot and the characters, it's great and i really think that both are victims of their own. Someone said here that almost all of the characters are morally grey (bad and good) which for me implies that they're being real, natural, and on the side of being more human? I don't want to blame the mother no matter how grave her past actions were (or even the current ones) towards her son because I still want to understand her and I also don't want to blame Kangho for all the awful things that he did because apparently, it wasn't really for him. In fact, it broke my heart when he said that the moment he was born, it was already his fate.
From what I believe, the wrong deed cannot be rectified by another wrong deed. That's what I'm seeing in this drama. The son, and especially the mother should be able to realize this.
same thoughts. i thought i was seeing specs of him actually loving her but just being an asshole and not appreciating…
there were a lot of scenes which broke my heart into pieces, like you've said the words that he says are downright offensive, especially those parts where-in he shouted at her couple of times. i was left speechless and again, devastated. all the hopes were gone in an instant.
Overall, they started it pretty nice and hopefully it's gonna end with a bang. A lot better than the first season.
