Daring To Dream

Another one note character in this is JW's supposed best male friend Tae Hyung ( give me some complexity or cut it) . He does nothing but snipe at JW and leer at girls.
I did watch TMS2! And yes, I thought the writing there was absolutely ridiculous lol. I don't mind an unredeemable character as long as they don't suddenly try and make them fluffy and in perfect endless love as credits roll:) TMS2 had repetitive reject/pursue theme for first 8 episodes and two fluffies to close out. Also the ex gf that appeared out of nowhere and someone who opens a high end restaurant with zero customers and runs it for a year.....but amazing acting and the director made beautiful flashback edits.

ep 4 was such a waste- whole episode of crazy ex one dimensionally being mean to potential current crush- cause ---- oh it fills screen time and we ran out of ideas!

also one of the main characters is not redeemable after ep 8 for me- so the writing and editing are weak points- I really like the freshman and his friends, especially the restaurant owner. Acting good, some nice surfing cinematography and good music choices.

I felt it could have been 8 lol

I had to rewatch the last 10 minutes just to make sure what I thought happened happened--- pay close attention to surfboard positions for the times they are sitting next to each other watching the waves

I also thought the actress as Kaipa's mom was good and Mix as well. Be curious to see what you think about ep 4 of Eighth Sense!

People love to complain! I feel Earth/Mix shine under P"Aof and his film team. They were even better here than in TOATS and that's saying something. Last few episodes felt rushed but what a show- and a more mature realistic story

are there really people who do that? TO be fair- Viki ratings are ridiculously high- 8,9 there is like a 7 on MDL lol. I thought School Prez and Moonlight were worthy of 8+ ratings- then again so are Dating and Shoulder:) Now I think Love in the Air, Eclipse and Cutie Pie should be below a 7 heh heh

I've only watched 1.5 episodes and that had pretty much zero plot lol.

It really is too easy to be harsh on comment boards lol.
I will say- this series did have an anti climactic ep 7- the perennial question of "now we're a couple- what then?" hangs over this- as well as one of my all time fave series SOTUS - and the acclaimed high 5 in 2gether. The actors and team still did a great job on Shoulder- I just wish it had ended at ep 6.
Cherry Magic had a great non kiss kiss (another of my all time faves) There are multple ways to deal with it. I liked this story so much I did read the manhwa- and the author acknowledged the love story piece might have not been done as well as other aspects- that is ok- I'm glad both versions exist.
Some viewers just want hot scenes and there is that. What ya gonna do?

and those time skips---- lazzzzy - at least they didn't have "stern chaebol father sends one of them overseas to study and therefore they don't communicate for 4 years"----- We Best Love and WYEL have entered the chat:)

bwa ha ha- or hopefully just less repressed!

although it is (most unfortunately) pretty common for dead fish kisses in the straight rom-coms too- just watched Gank Your Heart and at least 3 couples were fish kissing away. I've heard it is to "protect the female actress's innocence"?

thanks- it was only on a sec on the beach and grabbed me immediately!

Also never ever go into a street in a quiet residential neighborhood- what one K-Drama viewer describes as "the white truck of doom" will surely teleport without warning!!!

oh good- Book was weak sauce in his debut- where I thought Force was pretty good in Enchante

I also liked performance of Palm's mom and Nuengdio's mom. Agree on all the other points....

The director is doing good job on Warp Effect. Phuwin did better showing comedy in FUTS.
Feels like if there were different actors as leads and the script/pace was honed- this could have been really good.

He seems most natural when playing bratty- like in Warp Effect.

I rate it a 6 so I feel it is overrated- different strokes- kids did good job and racquetball sequences were exciting. Adult actors and villager storylines were cheesy and ridiculous imho. Worst offender was the main male coach of the boys. The ghostly grandma shutting down evil developers tractor comes in a close second.

Hope this cast list isn't just a Fluke- that is an interesting 3 leads....too bad it can't be set in grad uni instead of high school though.
