I became a kdrama fan last year. I was never a big fan of romance stories and for now, the majority of kdramas I've watched are thrillers or slice of life stories. Cliche romance tropes don't interest me all the time and usually, I wouldn't watch a romance focused drama.
And yet here I am having the best time watching Spring Fever.
The first 2 episodes have set up the ground for a fun and hectic story. I already love the main leads' chemistry and I'm very interested in their separate stories. I want to learn more about Yoon Bom's life and the incident that got her expelled from her previous school and I want to see more layers of Jae Gyu's character.
I adore the energy between these two and it melted my heart to see Yoon Bom finally letting herself be happy and carefree around someone. I am very excited about the developing romance between them and I hope they will not spoil it by adding unnecessary drama.
The rest of the characters are also very engaging, Han Gyul is such a soft and kind-hearted boy and I'd love to see more of his relationship with Jae Gyu. He clearly loves him but the loss of his parents and the stigma of being an orphan have clearly taken a tool on him, so I'm interested in his own development.
The lawyer is another entertaining character, he wants to come across as serious yet he's such a dork (in a good way). I'm praying that he won't be the third part in a potential love triangle though!
I am looking forward to the next episodes. I can't believe that I'm having such a great time watching a romcom. This shall be a lesson to not limit myself to one genre.
As much as I love this drama, I agree with some people who say that the Pro Bono team's attitude is kinda annoying. I get where they come from but after experiencing first-hand how much Dawit's methods helped them win their cases, one would assume they'd cut him some slack. Especially since he punished a criminal of a CEO. If the series had fleshed out the characters more, this final arc would be a nice conclusion for their development but since we didn't get to see much of them, besides Gi Ppeum, Na Hui and maybe Jun U, their switch seem kinda bizarre. I remain optimistic about the ending though!
Yeah, I really, really like the direction of the series. The first episode was a very good build-up but the second one was just chaotic in the best way possible. Now we got the background of Ha Young and we will follow his path to redemption. I heard from fans online that the webtoon has a comical tone and I couldn't be happier about it.
Ji Sung is fascinating to watch so far, the difference in his acting in the first two episodes is crazy. He embodies Ha Young perfectly and he encapsulated his behavior perfectly. Cannot wait to see more.
Very pleased to see the rating climbing up to 8.3. This drama was one of the best last year in terms of comedy and chemistry among the characters and it deserved more attention.
The main issue with Cashero is that it tried to do many things at once in 8 episodes and as a result, the final result was lackluster. The writers wanted to combine humour, action and social commentary alongside a superhero powers system but one can only do too much with such a short length. You cannot eat your cake and eat it. It would have been better if they had committed to a specific tone and vibe from the get-go. Having your main character address social issues through short monologues isn't deep and the humour ruined the emotional impact during some scenes.
All I'm gonna say about the final battle is that the heroes and the citizens were very lucky they didn't have to deal with Eren Yaeger, had it been him instead of Jonathan, he would have wiped everyone the moment he would have weakened Sang Ung, instead of sitting there for 5 minutes doing absolutely nothing
So far, after having watched three episodes, I must say that the writing feels lackluster and some decisions are too goofy for me to overlook. Like, the church scene on episode 2 was so bizarre, you are inside a burning building and instead of getting out, you sit and discuss with your girlfriend?
Just finished watching Episode 6. Wow, once again, the writers managed to bring light to another serious issue in South Korea, this time regarding the treatment of immigrants and the discrimination they face, alongside the judgment of female victims and the victimblaming mentality of the law. I really appreciate how this drama highlights the flaws in the justice system and it doesn't try to bootlick South Korea. What it does is raise awareness to many problems in korean society (which extend to a global aspect, too) and make viewers question the way the law works and how it treats its victims.
Is the writing flawless? No. There are certain parts which could be improved. But Pro Bono still offers a very interesting and deeply relevant story and this is why I believe that more people should give it a try. It might not shake your viewpoint altogether but it could make you think harder about what it takes to bring justice to those who have been wronged and how we could improve as a society.
