I usually love OCN, but this was so over the top, just sci fi heaped on testosterone. So far it's one massively western cliche; cocky alpha fool gets wrecked, meets superteam Badass & Butthurt, gets his ass kicked and has his ego taken down a peg in the training arc, and eventually bonds with the team as he learns they're not all pricks after all, because they have sob stories too, so they all join the pity party together. OP 'finds himself' and returns to alpha status (maybe with a sacrifice or two along the way for extra vengeance fuel) just in time to beat the hell out of the bad guys and have a 'no don't do it!' moment at the end where someone tries to stop him becoming a murderer (even though they probably RIPed all the mobs on the way there, and the villain will take advantage of this distraction to kill someone) and then they all (those that are left) swagger off, sweaty and bloody into the backlit dust. Que cutscene to A) the happy ever after B) flexing how chill and swagger they are in their next mission. I hope it shows a bit more promise in the second episode.
Just read people's comments, why is everyone so confused? I don't think there was anything that didn't make sense to me...obviously some stuff to be explained, but that's just in the telling of the story. And even then I feel we've been given a lot of information in subtext from the first episode alone.
Okay, who else just straight up ships Seo Woo with Ji Soo in a love-at-first-sight turn of events? Cause that is totally what happened, don't lie to me - she's pushing boys out the way to get to that lady the moment she sees her; the romantic monologue wasn't even necessary for confirmation.
I'm honestly torn over Hotel Del Luna - I just can't imagine it without IU, and seeing the hotel remodelled in the teaser at the end made me feel really uncomfortable, but on the other hand I'm sure it's possible the directors/writers could surprise us with an equally compelling story (hopefully with a cameo or two from our favourite couple to clear up that weird ending ^^).
I've watched 6 eps so far, and I think it's really funny, but I just can't ship the main characters with each other. I'm guessing they do, but can someone spoil me for if they actually end up together? I prefer their alt partners so much more.
I would honestly love if this show just remains a slice of life where the mcs slowly fall in love, and maintain a warm life with a book club meeting in every episode, with a side of country life trials (kind of like Live, but in a rural bookshop instead of police). All the characters have such genuine relationships in the village, rather than making this a complex drama, it would be better just fleshing out the characters and the community. Regardless, I just hope it maintains it's warmth and nostalgia throughout.
Thank you for not acting cliche in a potentially stereotypical role. I appreciate that we can take Jayden seriously rather than as comic relief. Respect for taking this role, subtle as it might have been.
I can't believe it's been two years since this ship to obliterate all ships sailed into the world *^* I still remember being winded by the overwhelmingly sweet chemistry in not only the young couple, but the following adult romance >^< I wish these four would act together again, but that's pretty much never going to happen so~ Just here to shed a few dramatically nostalgic tears T^T
English v's are transliterated into Korean with b's. I saw a different romanization as 'Lovely Horror-vely' which…
True that, with the R and the L I suppose yes I see what they did there. BUT STILL XD at least couldn't it have been Horribly Lovely? That actually makes sense, and you still have the word play ^^"
This was one of the first dramas I ever watched (after falling for Lee Dong Wook's precious Grim Reaper in Goblin) so I don't really feel qualified to review it due to my bias (I was completely hooked and thought my heart would give out at every plot twist XD) but I remember I shipped LDW and LDH so much^^ The last episode did drag, but overall totally worth it ^-^
I loved the first part, so maybe just stop at episode six or seven? ^^" It really does start out well, just the…
I tagged it as a spoiler, as in order to answer your question I had to hint at the end, but there's nothing explicitly spoilery if you get my meaning ^^"

It's conclusive and predictable, but it comes after a cliche drama plot twist so unreasonable it kind of feels like a waste of time. Kind of like "We all knew this is how it would turn out, so why did you spend the last two episodes faffing around to that extent?", that sort of feeling, although it tries to return to the original mood at the end. Well I'm sure if you skipped straight to the last scene it would be fine, but it did push the drama way out of proportion. Despite that, I would still recommend watching up to about where the mother finds out at least, as I genuinely loved the show until that point. After that I'd say it's up to how you feel if you want to finish it or not, but once the drama starts it doesn't really get better.
