Such a beautiful movie. Made me cry a couple of times 🥲 Loved how they didn’t opt for a plain HE, the ending is rather bittersweet, because there are hard times ahead and no one knows how (or if) this couple is gonna handle them. Don’t get the 7,8 score on MDL. However, I mostly fail to understand this scoring system 🤷🏻♀️….
Have watched 13 episodes and absolutely loving it so far 😍 Genuinely regret not having started this title earlier. UPD: finished 四方馆 and LOOOVVVVEEED every bit of it. Definitely add it to the list of my all-time favourite productions!
Wow, I really don't get the 7.8. The drama is soo good, very interesting to watch, great acting, a couple of tearjerkers, a very dynamic finale and a slight cliffhanger in the final moments to make one crave for the second season (which will probably never be).
Why does this sound just like an older Korean drama: The Great Doctor with Lee Min-ho??
Yeah, it kind of does, but I guess it's just a coincidence: this film is supposed to be an adaptation of some novel (which I haven't read though), and Korean 'Faith' was extremely loosely based on D. Gabaldon's 'The Outlander,' so the sources are different.
I'm on ep 3 now and I have mixed feelings. If Tang Qi sees beauty beyond appearance, he must have severely misunderstood…
I used to be under the same impression, but, fortunately, further plot shows that TQ is not exactly that kind of a guy. He fell in love with SM not because of her looks, but because he was impressed by her heroically saving the kid on the road. Then, it's later made obvious that he disliked SCC also NOT because of her looks, but because he mistakenly considered her a school bully who used her strength to intimidate other children, himself included. Just keep watching. The drama keeps getting better with each episode, and the main leads unfold psychologically, so everything becomes clear. For me it's a comfort drama, for sure.
Wow, it's just after 6 am where I live and I have just finished 'Filter.' I haven't binge-watched anything so intensely in a while. Actually, I am not sure I have ever binge-watched anything like this, especially given this is not exactly my genre. It is just PERFECT. I always find flaws in everything: even the titles I enjoyed very much always have at least a tiny disappointment for me - an illogical turn of plot, a weird scene, a moment of unnatural acting, an expression, and of course filler scenes (or sometimes even filler episodes). But here literally everything is perfect, soooo enjoyable. This is definitely my first ever comfort drama, which I am going to rewatch whenever I need to cheer myself up. 非常感谢 to everyone involved in the making of this beautiful title and a big thank you to all the commenters - sharing emotions, discussing opinions, trying to predict the plot together has made this journey even more special ❤️
WILL YOU BELIEVE ME IF I TELL YOU THAT I JUST BINGE WATCHED 25 EP IN 1.5 DAYS?? NOW I AM SUPPOSED TO WAIT???
Totally feel you! I daily congratulate myself that I joined in pretty early and had to binge watch only 6 or 7 eps. And, btw, I hardly ever do this (I think there was only one prior case in my drama-watching career). Normally, I watch an episode or two a day, because I tend to get tired of narratives too fast, but with this show I literally can't stop.
Uhm, yes, but there is still one unresolved situation that they never commented on in the last episodes. And it…
Thank you so much for expressing this so accurately! Totally agreed 🤝 Indeed, at first TQ was immature: he wanted perfection - a beautiful soul behind a beautiful face, - so talked himself into believing SM was exactly such an impeccable person. Falling later for FJ in a way shows he was becoming a more mature person: he apparently began to realize that the character was more important to him than conventional beauty.
Yet, I kind of see why FL is being criticized here. She is a very sweet person and initially none of it was her fault. But at some point she did get a bit carried away with all the 'let's-fool-TQ-so-he-never-finds-out'-stuff. It became really obvious in the scene where she and LY kind of celebrated having killed QST off, not thinking for a moment that TQ would feel the unbearable guilt of having troubled the boy with his suspicions which ultimately led to the tragedy (to say nothing of how weird the said death was -- enough to traumatize anyone!). SCC was very casual about playing with another person's deep emotions, health and sanity. I think LL is doing an incredible job showing these inner fluctuations in her character: when she gets all lighthearted and easygoing about the bracelet and the consequences of (ab)using it, and later when she all of sudden realizes how grave this whole thing is. So it's SCC's story of development, too, and I'm sure it's not over yet. We still have enough episodes for drama to play out.
