I think it's worth a try. It is long, but it ends up being quite heartwarming and funny and the characters really…
the series is mostly about friendship. what romance there is, it's mostly heterosexual. there is a homosexual character, but it's not the baseball player nor the guard.
Amnesia is probably the thing I most hate in dramas. It's usually just tiring to watch and very repetitive, as the execution and resolution for it is generally similar from drama to drama.
On the other hand, the truck of doom doesn't bother me as much, mostly because half the time I'm surprise drama characters aren't getting into more accidents as a whole. It's just so common to see a character crossing the street without looking both ways, or just standing in the middle of the road contemplating about life/love/work while the cars are passing by. If you do that in real life, you're bound to be run over. Or characters driving and making sudden u-turns or suddenly changing lanes to park. Are this maneuvers actually legal in Korea? All the same, in my country, even if you don't get into an accident and you don't get a fine, you'd still be cursed out by the other other drivers. So, all in all, when a truck of doom appears in a drama, well, yeah, with the way everyone seems to drive, they are bound to get into an accident sooner or later, so it doesn't bother me as much.
The second story... Yeah that's just the sort of unreasonable stuff you'd see in a drama. That guy shouldn't date either of those girls. They are both insane. Risk your life to see if some guy loves you? Really? How is that a good idea? Who jumps into a river to make someone else prove their love for you? I mean, the ex jumping into the river is crazy enough, but then the current girlfirend also jumps into the river? What for? Didn't she even think it wasn't just dangerous to her own life, but also dangerous to her boyfriend? What if he drowns while trying to save her? Seriously, were they all drunk or something?
But I think, even more ridiculous than that, it's the one with the man not speaking to his own wife for 20 years because he was jealous of his own children. Though really, he must not have had a lot to say if managed to keep quiet that long. Besides, is that even possible? They probably talked when in private. I mean, they didn't talk for 20 years but had an 18 year old son? That must have had required some communication of sorts.
i seriously fucked up.. i have downloaded the drama up until ep 10 then i watched it thinking in a few weeks,…
I think the drama is 16 episodes. The extension was never confirmed anywhere official (I only saw an article in a blog). And they are already advertising the drama that comes next, so this should be over in a couple weeks.
I don't particularly like any of these. But the one I find less disturbing is the wrist pulling. However, I do find it extremely annoying. The others are creepy or really violent, but the wrist pulling is just really obnoxious to me. I'm always hoping the female lead will break free and say 'Let's get things straight: I'll go wherever I want to go'.
I usually can ignore this stuff while I watch dramas. Or more like, I try to watch dramas in a bubble. If the drama thinks this is romantic, I'll try and humour it and block common sense telling me 'no, it's not', just so that I can enjoy the drama. If the drama can manage not to fall into this stuff all the better. But if not, then I'll just disconnect the voice of reason for a while (unless the drama just gets too creepy about it, then I'll just be cursing at the screen or maybe even drop it, depending on the seriousness of it).
Thing is, I'm from a different culture. This stuff kind of jumped at me when I started watching dramas and left me thinking 'so this is how they do things over there', but I guess, since it's a different culture, I sort of let it go more easily, since I'm not sure it's my place to criticise it. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to watch many of these dramas at all. And it's not like my culture is perfect either.
