The pacing is awful and the first 30 minutes have practically nothing to do with the rest of the movie. The character building and motivations are completely different halfway thorough and it's not through character growth or development, it just happens. Ughh I wanted to like this, but the execution is so poor.
This was so good as a rewatch. I can't believe how good the golden era of kdrama romcoms were. The emotional depth, the warm and natural chemistry, and the comedy was so good. Seung Ho's performance is steller here. It's not often you see such effort and talent in romcoms anymore...Way more of a rarity now.
It's a really interesting and unique concept, but sadly the budget is quite low. This would've been sooo good with a better budget, directing, and pacing because the story is really good.
The ML was such a unique character. I don't think I've seen such an emotional ML before or even an emotional MC that often. He felt everything and you could see every emotion in the way he held his body, by the look in his eyes, and see the thoughts running through his head. What a wonderful messy, flawed, and well written ML.
I've gotten so used to watching actors get stabbed or hurt and get up like nothing happened but a minor scrape. It was jarring and so impactful seeing an actor actually ACT hurt. The body in shock moving in odd ways, the act of trying to get up, the unfocused eyes, not being able to scream, etc. Zo In Sung, my goodness what an actor.
I was so confused why the final episode was 2 and half hours long! Luckily it's because it's 80% recap. Idk why they did it like that, but if you to the final episode that timestamp is right. I skipped to the current game at time stamp 1 hour and 31 minutes.
If you've never seen an early 2000's jdrama or an anime-style live action, then you're gonna get some whiplash from this show. But if you have, you'll love the excessive editing, funky styles, and nostalgia it brings. Watch it as a show from 2007 as a it's charming point and it's a great time.
This show is a mess, yet really fun with it's own charm, natural chemistry/intimacy, and heart. Skip all the secondary couples and enjoy a romance between two very flawed characters. I think it's fun watching older shows where not every character is perfect, instead their flawed and somewhat grounded.
This is my first time re-watching in 7 years and it's still super fun.
The leads have so many endearing and warm hugs, I love it when there is realistic moments of intimacy like that. Hugs are so underrated in the romance drama wordl!
