CONGRATULATIONS TO THE DREAM LIFE OF MR KIM FOR ITS NOMINATIONS AT BAEKSANG. Absolutely deserved, one of the best kdramas I've watched! I'll be rooting for it and Ryu Seung Ryong
Just finished watching it, I was quite sceptical at first because I usually tend to avoid this type of stories which have so much drama and plot twists but it was actually pretty good. I didn't expect to like the characterisation as much as I did, the majority of characters were pretty fleshed out and I liked how flawed and humane they were.
I finally found free time to watch the last episode (and on valentine's Day, wow!). Spring Fever was my very first romcom and it's safe to say that I enjoyed it much more than I expected! This series was perfect for me since I wanted to watch something lighthearted in order to relax during my university exams and I wasn't disappointed. Yes, it's not a masterpiece and the writing could have been tighter in some parts but overall, this is a good kdrama and by avoiding many overdone tropes, it offered a refreshing romance story.
I couldn't be more thankful for avoiding the usual misunderstandings between the main couple, which tends to happen so often these days. I appreciate how Bom and Jae Gyu communicated with each other and how they solved their problems. They were always there for each other and you could see that they made a great pair.
I can easily see myself rewatching this in the future if I'm in the mood for something cozy.
I'm gonna be very honest: when I had watched Twelve, I wasn't very sold from Lee Joo Bin's acting. But having watched Spring Fever, it's clear that the problem wasn't her but the writing and direction of her character in Twelve. She was charming as Bom and I loved having her on my screen. I am actually interested in watching more of her series.
In light of recent events concerning the Epstein files in US, Honour tells a story that needs to be heard. With every episode, the story gets more twisted and painfully relevant, I cannot imagine how one can watch the drama and feel completely indifferent towards the message. To think that there are many victims out there who will never get justice because the system would prefer to protect the perpetrators instead makes me sick to my stomach. Honour is a reflection of our society and a call for help and action. I am so happy to see that the writers do not shy away from portraying reality and I hope that the quality will remain consistent.
Monster what a stupid comparison. MLs acting like this are villians theyre not excused what nonsense are you spouting
I didn't compare Johan with the female leads (although, even in his case, his actions can be understood). I compared them with Eva, who was also a flawed female character. My point is that flawed female characters should be criticized properly. People can dislike them, yes, but they should learn to apply some nuanced judgement too.
I defended Eva Heinemann from Monster, I'll have no problem trying to understand the female leads in Honour. No, I do not support all of their actions but what's this obsession with people who demand that women in media should always be polished? The series isn't even trying to frame them as perfect and morally right, we see that they have their own issues and that they are hypocritical at times. I suggest we wait until more episodes gets released before we'll jump into conclusions.
I have watched up until episode 7 and I want to say that it's so refreshing they didn't drag that (fake) love triangle subplot. Yoon Bom doesn't like Ijun romantically, she just felt grateful for his polite gestures and she was interested in him being a lawyer because she could rely on his help about her case. No need to have the two male leads constantly fight for Bom's attention and no need to make her be conflicted for the majority of the drama. Based on some snippets I've seen online, the following episodes included some cute scenes of Bom and Jae Gyu, I cannot wait to binge the rest of the episodes!
