this is the first time in years watching Hana Kimi because it's now available on Netflix. It's one of my favourite shows when I was a pre-teen, but I never realised how problematic it it. It has bullying, breach of privacy, homophobia, SA, negative stereotypes etc. (and I'm only in ep 3) I want to hate it but it's too goddamn FUNNY. All of the character's synergy fit so well with each other and it's really fun to watch if you just turn off your critical skills for just a moment. Also- it fascinates me how the bgm really sets up the mood in a comical matter even though the things coming out of their mouths are NOT it
minghao's new face lift was the right move, but it's making his acting.... uncanny.. compared to his earlier works. his eyes and eyebrows are doing all of the acting
someone pair him up with an older woman in a rom-com! even though his character in Echoes of the Self is supposed to be somewhat serious, his puppy-like personality shines through the screen
the plot was really captivating at first but then you realise that 95% of the screen time is just the two leads jumping around in 3 locations.. they're either at a house, work or a random event. it got so boring once you see the patterns and figure out what the characters would typically do. and that ending was... disgusting. that last episode was unnecessary.
ML calling her 손님 (literally customer) the WHOLE drama was fingers on a chalkboard for me. they could’ve…
I fully understand what you mean and it kinda annoyed me too.. the lamest excuse I can think of is on ep 3, they get misunderstood with "son-nim" as her pet name
9.2 really??? do people have such a low standard??? theres better time travel kdramas out there and yall choose…
there are so many great time travel rom/coms produced by other countries, but i think korea did great regarding this one. also, i think it's because there are so many layers of this drama and it' gets somewhat complicated unless you follow through, but they made it so light throughout the whole series. it was never got too dark and that's really hard to maintain. often, rom/coms that are mixed with other genres gets serious in the end and is no longer a comedy, but lovely runner did such an amazing job withholding all three genres till the very end.
i understand that there are better ones, but we also have to think about the run time. so much of it was cut in the final. Taesung's back story was cut which is disappointing and the lack of motivation from the killer was also disappointing. however because of the different personalities of the characters and the acting, it was so addicting. the story line is so nicely paced. not to quick, not to fast. the plot i would say is not perfect, but it's enough for us to get hooked and hype it.
there are so many holes regarding the character's motivation especially the killer. however, it is so nicely paced and the characters are refreshing which makes it addicting to watch. also- i've never had a drama which made me laugh out loud, but this one did. the emotions that this drama put me in as a viewer is highly impressive. i fully recommend the drama if you're looking for a break from the stark dramas that have been releasing these days.
also- love the lighting and colourgrading!
