I’d wanted to watch it for such a long time, but I honestly can’t believe i dropped it. I love school dramas, but this one just didn’t give me that cute, sparkly school-drama vibe. Their relationship felt more like brother-and-sister energy than romantic to me. The charm of school dramas is that sweet, shiny, heart-fluttery feeling, and I just didn’t get that here at all.
Honestly, I dropped it after 3 episodes. There was no plot hook that made me want to keep watching just to see what would happen next. It also felt like a typical, repetitive xianxia drama. I do like Deng Wei’s acting, but he didn’t stand out to me here — for example, when his character was drunk, it didn’t really feel like he was actually drunk.
Honestly, I started it with high expectations, but it didn’t hook me. I kept watching only because of Takeru Satoh, and I was basically just watching to get it over.
Their past didn’t interest me at all. And in the future arc, the fact that the male lead had a girlfriend, went as far as planning a wedding, and at the same time grew close to his first love woman was completely unacceptable to me. No matter what logic they tried to justify it with, that was cheating.
The random mention of Israel felt totally unnecessary. Once I heard that child killer government being mentioned , it actually made me even more turned off from drama .
it was so good but the ending... , At the end, they tried to whitewash Hiroki and his family, and honestly it got weird. I really wish they’d actually been involved in the murders at least a little — the way it was handled felt strange and forced.
Excuse me? What was that ending supposed to be? I was completely fine with the pacing and the story up until the last ten minutes, and then suddenly… what even happened? That incident for aqua felt totally unnecessary. My takeaway was that the their dad had grown up surrounded by toxic people in the entertainment industry and had been led down the wrong path. I really wished they had given him a different, more compelling ending. And what about the person in black — the real killer? What happened to him?
The emotions in this movie were really powerful. Before I started watching it, I read the comments and honestly hesitated, because Drawing Closer is one of my favorite films and people were saying this one doesn’t offer anything new and is similar to that. But I didn’t feel that way at all.
The male lead felt a lot like me. Before he meets the love of his life, that sense of emptiness, hollowness, and feeling useless — those are things that haunt me every single day. And on the other hand, the female lead’s effort to be useful, to matter… she really was. She gave meaning and hope to the lives of the people she met.
It made me wish that someday I’ll meet someone in my own life who encourages me and wants me just for who I am. I watched it with tears in my eyes and finished it that way, deeply moved when i found out it's based on real story
I liked the first half and their age gap didn’t bother me either. Contrary to the comments, the age difference wasn’t even that big. But the second half of the movie completely changed my opinion — not because of the age gap, but because of the story. The another girl comes and says, “I’m not his girlfriend, we only had a sexual relationship,” yet at the same time she claims that all his thoughts are with you? Excuse me? If your mind is with someone and you’re in love with her , why would you sleep with other people? That makes no sense to me, and I really don’t like this kind of scenario. Even halfway through, he still didn’t react to that woman’s kiss or tell her to stop.
I don’t like seeing it being normalized that you can love one person while still having sexual relationships with others.
