Talented actor with good looks. Deserves more lead roles.

One of the best looking Japanese actor imo

LOL I couldn't focus on the scene at all due to his hair as I kept glancing at it. Especially since it was acting like a sheathe protecting his face from the rain xD I actually had to rewatch the scene again just to understand what they were saying a second time LOL

Yeah they have much better hair outside of the show. IDK why they have that ugly hair in the show.

Yep. Let's hope the S2 is more fleshed out, the two leads have amazing chemistry. Would also love more of Kim x Jake.

PS: Someone should cut off Sky's hair lol during the final confrontation scene in the rain, his hair was very distracting xD

As someone who loved the show since the beginning, I'm very disappointed at how this ended.

The finale was VERY disappointing. It was so frigging rushed. Character development was popping out of nowhere for Ace's father and Moira even though just the previous episode they were like "Hell NO!" and complete contrarian. I wish they had been progressing towards this ending from the past few episodes instead of cramming everything into just 1 highly condensed episode. Like are you telling me Moira's poisoning of Sky, which is attempted murder, won't result in her jail time and instead they hug it out? Dafuq was that mess?

Also don't get me wrong, but the final 2 episode was far too melodramatic for me that I just couldn't take it seriously. It was jumping back and forth between trying to be Disney and trying to be Shakespearean. During the whole Ace-Sky hospital parting scene, I couldn't help but chuckle as it was so over the top melodrama.

Hotel? Trivago.

Sorry coudn't help it.

But facts! Shao Fei was a walking fashion disaster. His hair to his clothing wtf loool

And omg 3rd couple! One of my fave Hetero couple in a BL drama ngl I wanted to watch more of them in fact.

You mean a sequel to MODC???

Is the guy at their workplace Beatwin's Jung Ha???

I did say Im Soo Hyang had tendencies to be immature, I was referring to her decisions regarding Jang Ki Yong's character throughout the drama and her inability to face her feelings. All the 3 leads in the drama had their bouts of immaturity in their personal life in that drama.

JMW also showed quite a lot of immaturity at times too imo like her tendency to spend profusely without thinking. Her obsession with that mukbang man, she was also very short tempered most of the time. Also I think in her past, her final confrontation with the guy (I forgot the actor's name, pardon me lol) was quite impulsive. She went with the urgency to kill and be killed. Also I drew the superficial comparison because they all fall under a similar trope of well dressed women, often with jaded past, usually viewed as "badass" chicks with sharp tongue and cynical view of the world. Like I know, at depth there are differences, but what I meant was they still fall under the same archetype, which is becoming "common" in Kdramas.

This is a controversial opinion: But imo JMW didn't fall in love with the ML in a romantic way . Personally to me it felt more like she built up a lot of respect and admiration and platonic love towards him.

Again this is just how I viewed her relationship with the ML in HDL.

Fair enough. As an adult, I can admit I make a lot of immature decisions too lol I'd reckon being flawed is part o being human.

Miles Wei maks me wanna watch this. I loved his small character in Find Yourself.

It's the trend to be blamed. The Kdrama lead trends keep changing. When the drama with Jun Ji Hyun aired, the typical female lead were the innocent, pure type so she stood out, however nowadays the female lead are more on the side of crazy-ish, outspoken, borderline b****. I mean just take a look at the FL in IOTNO & HDL, they're both very similar characters. So IMO most of these aren't unique either, I mean don't get me wrong I love these women (esp Jun Ji Hyun in You Who Came from the Stars and subsequent reiteration of her i.e Lee Sung Kyung in Cheese in the Trap and Jaekyung in the Secret Life of My Secretary) but personally I wouldn't put them in a list about unique female leads. More accurately I'd rate as "Strong, independent female leads" rather than "Unique, different female leads" in other words they have the BDE for a lack of a better term LOL

Personally for me the "different"/"unique" female leads are the ones that diverges from all of these trends and retains her own personality without falling victim to being a pile of tropes. For e.g Chun Woo Hee in Be Melodramatic, she's not the "innocent" female lead nor can she be typed as a "badass" or "smart" or "intelligent" or "strong" type, she falls in a grey area; another example would be Im Soo Hyang's character from Search WWW, she's a smart woman but she's neither strong nor can be called a "badass" unlike other women in this list and is prone to immature decisions.

Some of these fall under the typical "crazy"/"spoilt" female lead trope tbh So they're not very original characters either.

My list of 5 Asian horror to avoid because they're just a waste of time:

1. Gonjiam Haunted Hospital - Cookie cutter, very typical movie and scares are non-existent. Go watch Grave Encounters instead, because it's the original and million times better.

2. Acacia - Little known Korean horror for a very good reason i.e it's mediocre. The editing ruins the movie. It keeps building up but then the editing ruins it.

3. The Unbelievable - AVOID THIS garbage at all cost. Why? Because it's one hell of a cruel movie as it ACTUALLY kills animals (FOR REAL) for the scare factor.

4. The Haunted House Project - A low quality Blair Witch wannabe with zero substance. There's nothing to it.

5. Shiirome - To think the makers of the brilliant Noroi created this trash just confounds me. How can someone go from making such a good film to such a bad one.

Seen all of these and couldn't find any of them scary. I'd agree with Astolfo, horror stopped being scary like almost 2 decades ago imo lol They're entertaining movie, captivating but just not "scary".

Horror movies actually usually generated lower ratings than other genres. Even on IMDB it's the same. It's a norm lol

I didn't feel any romance from them in the show (in the novel they're a couple though yeah).

I'm looking at my Netflix and it ends on 20th March. Madafaking wtf??? 20 weeks???

Ahh ok. They were really cute in the show, like very subtle romance. Very non-cheesy.
