What do you guys want?A rushed happy ending.A proper sad ending.
I have a hard time to see a proper sad ending being well done and satisfactory considering this progression. Since as of now there's only an age factor, a matter of time, only a new dissaster like a death or something can be a forever gone. And i think that could only happen in the future, like, they will have a happy love first. But who knows (how hard it is to say this of 99% of kdramas, where we all know what will happen? This tell us how good this one is), i´ve seen bombs being thrown last minute, so the key will be what happens at 21 & 25. Maybe shit happens but a forever broken... After all they experienced? In my book only a sudden nuclear bomb size issue yet to come can break them forever and ever. I could accept it if is properly done (and i trust this crew), but i remain positive since i think it would need even more explanation than a happy ending.
Haven't been this into a Kdrama for years. Love the photograpy, the dialogues, the direction... but the key is the way they constructed real characters and their progression in every sense is stunning. I trust they will deliver in the next 4 episodes but as of now, i would have understood if this drama had 20 episodes.
I would describe my experience with this series like when i open my phone and get a delivery from McDonald's. We al know that it's trash food, yeah it's bad, but while eating it, it feels good and gets you full. The acting is below the bar, so the writting and pace of events, but i quite enjoyed it for a plain binge and now move on. The theme itself is quite cliché but not that much in BL territory so i give it a pass. The actors are insanely cute and they actually had chemistry together and kissed properly. I thought that my standards on that got higher, but after watching 2gether the movie the other day and some trash where the actors are totally unconfortable with portraying gay characters, this is already (and sadly) a point of improvement and a thing to praise here. Liked how it ends, not how is constructed and told, but i liked that they didn't go for the power of love conquers all (even if i can see all the plot holes by miles, i choose to be blind). I would have a different opinion if this was 16 eps of 50 minutes each (and if i took it seriously), like, if this was a menu from a good restaurant, it would be unacceptable. I want more quality in BL land overall, and the second half of the year has been the worse, but i don't mind some basic and a bit bland fast food once in a while. So, in conclusion, i'm clearly hungry.
I'm like... and? They shown me the conflict and that's about it. For it to be more impactfull we do need to relate and connect with the characters, understand why they act the way they do and why they think the way they think, see their love story develop more in detail and we do need to know what's next after setting the conflict. I know is a short movie, but if they planned something with deepness you expect deepness, and we just got till the first layer and it wasn't even well portrayed or developed.
Tha same boring shit we have seen a million times in kdramaland but even way more cringy, suffocating and redundant, if that was even possible. I have been skiping and x2 speed since ep 4 and i still cannot diggest how awful this is. I'm the kind who finish things even if it has to be done watching the last eps in 5 min each, so i will, so i can be sure later on that even the wrap up was awful.
IDK if i should jump into it... love Singto but if this is exactly like the korean movie and ends the same way... I felt baited with the endind of the movie, it's the same here?
She looks so old. Idk if it's the filters or whatnot but in search www she did not look like this. I think the…
I mean.... their characters are supposed to be like a decade appart or more so i don't see why they should look like they are a similar age, because they aren't, and you should expect them to look like that if you read the premise. I don't see her looking "old" i see her looking like she is older than him and that's fine, that's how it's supposed to be. Not talking about you tho, but there's such a big preasure for women in this industry to look like they are forever in their 20's and have 0 sings of aging, and when a woman looks a day older than that it's already an issue, and it shouldn't be the case, so i'm super glad they casted her, a woman that it's older and is aging like any of us mortals do.
We saw two young guys that took a different route and way of dealing with being the same by heart, insecure people in need of true love and care. And they found that in each others, but their personalities and ways of dealing with their issues made it hard to be honest about it. As they matured, they knew and luckily were able to bare themselves and secure their true love. One might like one of their personalities more than the other, or you can see the bad sides of both, but man we can also see the good and the emotions inside of both. That's something that i value from this series, the fact that i got to know and understand both of them and how they act in every moment, see their reasons behind, hear what they say but know the true meanning behind that may be the opposite... That's my standard, my red line. If i got to know and understand the characters, why they look the way they look, say what they say, act the way they act... the series + the actors did a good job, and then if i can see their love, progress and have a well build story that i fancy + deep characters, i'm more than satisfied. This is not I told Sunset about you level, but this is a well done series that in short time was able to give me all of those to certain levels each. 8/10.
I was so happy with the first two episodes... And then they had to throw all the cliches, nonsense ridiculous plots, pitifull woman stuff and ruin it. I'm not felling sorry for anyone, i don't empatize with such a cliche poorly ejecuted and the build up for the feelings of this two is nowhere to be found. I think that it will be hard to like this, i'm already smelling the witch mother plot by miles.
Is this a dream????? My favourite k actor and k actress that i followed consistently for a decade are working together as main leads??? Heaven, here i go.
so we might have to wait longer for them to release it on streaming platforms or something, right?:(
Let's hope it will be soon. I remember wanting to watch Saint's movie Please (Her) since it's realase in december of last year, and i had to wait like 10 months since it was only added on Nexflix this past october.
I respect your personal taste but there are ways to say things and not come across as a jackass. You are never…
Agree, as a young actor working with such a veteran and talented actress is actually a gift. Calling her too old to be a love interest on a drama and not pretty was low and... well, i will still be polite and not say what i thought about the main comment.
I respect your personal taste but there are ways to say things and not come across as a jackass. You are never too old for a romantic role and irl both are adults. A woman in her late 30's or 40's can lead a romantic movie and the fact that some see it as a "too old for that" like if we have an expiration date in order to be eaten is what it is wrong and problematic. I may understand if a series that show feelings between a barely underaged and an adult (but i get the feeling that there will be nothing between them till they are on the same level) isn't for you, you could have said smth like that, but calling her out that way was really gross. We are used to see this oppas in their 40's that are paired with girls in their 20's or 30's and nobody bates an eye, but when it's reversed... Anyway, for me she is a queen, a really powerful actress and way more recognized than him, so he is probablly thrilled to work with her and learn.
