The hacker mini-arc was very confusing and almost made me drop the lakorn because it felt very sudden, but once…
omg i know right. honestly the acting and settings and stuff are really good in this drama and even the story set up. it's just... the editing, my god. it is so bad. no flash back makes sense, things are cut and introduced at such weird times. i still didnt understand their whole highschool backstory so i had to look it up on a forum. Apparently in highschool, muey had an anonymus senior pen-pal who she sent letters to and recieved a notebook from. Somewhere along the lines she discovered that Tien, the senior who helped her find a classroom, was her penpal. She began liking him and that feeling grew even further when she discovered Tien was her Auntie's son, the main character in all the funny stories she'd heard from her mother. From Muey's pov, Tien has been miracuosly in every part of her life, appearing again and again as if by some grand coincidence. From Tien's pov, he had a junior penpal who he he liked from reading her letters and wanted to meet but that was ruined when she never showed up and "pulled pranks" on him. He also, at one point, helped a "bob-cut" girl find her class and fell for her instantly. Whenever she was near he'd always try to look cool with his guitar but in the end never saw her face. While all of this is happening, Muey, who he knows as his neighbour's daughter, breaks his potplant that he needed for an assesment and ran away without apologising. Younger Tien only has a bad image of Muey. Tien discovers two things in the present-day story. First he finds the notebook in Muey's things. That means Muey is the girl he liked recieving letters from.... and also threw water on him and gave him a prank-present. This only makes him confused. Did she ever really like him? was he just messing with him when he was younger, were the letters insincere? Then he finds out she's the bob-cut girl. The only girl he's ever had feelings for except for the letter girl, who is now the same person, solidifying that he's always liked muey, even without knowing it was Muey.
Now i don't know about you, but that's not what I watched XD but i could see which scenes are supposed to go where. I almost feel like re-editing it myself LOL. If this story was told properly, we could easily see how Muey ended up seeing everything of Tien and how Tien never really saw Muey despite being always around her. It would've been very cool and dramatic but the editing honestly ruined it. A+ to the osts tho.
I've watched about half of this lakorn and it's definitely one of the better one's out there, shame it's not as popular, but it's probably because it's not finished subbing yet. It's a light-hearted romcom, nothing to take too seriously. some of the characters are overboard and overdramatic but that's just typical lakorn stuff. it's still one of the more logical ones XD
omg i love the actress x ceo couple. theyre such best friends: laughing when the other chokes on pizza and mushing each others faces into the couch in a violent pillow fight lol. true friendship at it's finest XD
initial impression: - really good acting. and acting with personality. - nice colour grading and good cinematography - fast paced plot (no drag) - interesting dialogue - good comedic timing
some other pointers where you can tell the production crew cares about the drama - intro has really aesthetic moving pictures with interesting rock music (which is cool cause it's a historic drama) as opposed to random scenes from the drama which spoil the entire story - the lack of filler scenes. they cut scenes and scenarios "short" and only show what's important and won't drag something out. they use alot of jump cuts too where it's implied of what happens next instead of showing it. the key thing here is the storytelling is atypical and refreshing.
this isn't really directed to this drama but maybe a little bit. i hate when they take bickering couples and make them mellow out after they get together. that's just out of character. that's what gives them chemistry, how they interact with each other. just cause they're a couple now doesn't mean that being lovey-dovey = turning into completely different people. i always feel like with a lot of romcoms, the writer has no idea how to write the characters after they get together and so just make them do generic couple stuff that never makes any sense. like what happened to their original dynamics????????????? anyway, just a little pet peeve that i never see written well in like ANY drama. i'm still searching for one that does.
how come all these Chinese actors come with two dramas at the same time or back to back?I'm not complaining, just…
like someone else said, these dramas were filmed ages agoooo. im guessing that when they see an actor is popular then they decide to release all their dramas with them asap before their hype ends.
have you watched itazura na kiss? (also known as playful kiss?) there are alot of remakes so you can choose which…
no fake relationship. the dramas are very similiar because the personalities are very similiar, also the set up (the girl moves into his house and she's like his "annoying" sister who's in love with him" also the main guy is a total jerk LOL
Don't insult East Asian dramas like this. None will come close to matching Bollywood's needless melodrama lol.
lol i said what i said XD but bollywood andlakorns do share the same love of putting the same cut of extremely dramatic music in every scene the bad guy appears, even if he's only making toast or walking his dog, i cry XD
