Like Today Is Our Last Day (Acoustic Version) is the song for Ran Joo's mom. They don't have the just hummed version, alas, but this is still lovely. 😭
I just wanted to give a shoutout again to the PHENOMENAL child actors who played the young ML & FL versions: Moon…
Yes, I like that the last episode highlighted that they are both good singers, but just have really different styles, and some songs suit them better than others.
@Eleison - your comment was so beautifully written!The show also raised intriguing questions about aspects of…
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. :) You pointed out some really wonderful details, too. There are many beautiful themes, moments and scenes; so much loveliness to drink in while watching. Definitely going to become a comfort drama that I revisit and rewatch when I need a pick-me-up!
I see what you mean, but I think this is a plot synopsis issue? I agree the synopsis could be better, but that's…
Yeah, same! I've been clarifying, too, cause people keep saying the same stuff they're not liking, so trying to help dispel confusion. 🤣 The secondary tags do help a bit more?
Am I the only one who is seriously frustrated and annoyed by the subtitles on Netflix? Look, I am not fluent in…
I wondered that about the part about Mok Ha and Ran Joo being described as "lacking" by Ki Ho in Episode 1. Still don't quite know what was meant there, as it didn't come through great in English.
Personally, this show felt like it had wasted potential. At the beginning, I had my own doubts about the way the…
I definitely check screenwriters of dramas more these days before diving in, especially when they have a lot of past work to compare against. (A director can only do so much with a script). Some screenwriters are a wild card, haha, but this screenwriter is pretty consistent with her writing.
I see what you mean, but I think this is a plot synopsis issue? I agree the synopsis could be better, but that's…
Nah, it's not weird, it's just your preference. People like different things! :) I like tracking themes built around the story and characters, so this is my JAM.
And this screenwriter always nails the pilots.👍This title is a little strange in that it's so specific. The other titles by this screenwriter leave more room for interpretation; I don't know if you saw any of the theories about how Castaway Diva refers to Ran Joo, too (the diva who was "cast aside"). It makes sense when you see her listed before Bo Geol in the cast list as a main. That said, I don't think you're wrong that it might initially mislead someone's expectations.
This was not a bad drama, I liked a lot of things about it BUT it had a huge flaw - it focused on everything but…
I see what you mean, but I think this is a plot synopsis issue? I agree the synopsis could be better, but that's often the case on this site; sometimes the synopses are just wrong. 🤣 Though I think the tone struck by the first episode showcases who will be emphasized throughout the drama. I don't think it was ever meant to focus just on Seo Mok Ha (again, a synopsis issue). The first episode focuses specifically on the three main leads and sets up the way their stories intertwine.
Not related to this drama completely off topic.Is there any drama where fl helps unconditionally ml to achieve…
SundressSavage had a really good rec; another that comes to mind is a sageuk (it's long, haha) called Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People. FL is very supportive of ML (she's super cute and lovable) and prioritizes him and his dreams/goals. Their romance doesn't really take off until the second half, though.
Comments about blah blah, this plot is not needed, blah blah father plot boring, blah blah who's Ki Ho painful,…
True! Though I sometimes detail and outline just so people who might like the drama who are reading the comments don't get scared off by details that won't ultimately factor much into their experience of the drama if they know what they're looking for and this is actually it. 🤣
I agree with you 100%, but i also have to add, they had no chemistry whatsoever as a couple! They were both amazing…
Did you think the kiss lacked chemistry, too? I can see what you're saying about them being good friends as most of the vibes exuded from their relationship, but if they had lacked chemistry, I don't think they could have nailed that kiss (I thought they did, at least). It didn't feel like it was out of left field, and that is telling, I think?
I know these are two completely different dramas, but I liked PEB's previous one way more. And something about…
"I wish the drama focused more on FL's struggles on the island and later when integrating back into society."
Probably a worthy project for a different type of screenwriter with a different kind of writing emphasis. :) And if they had gone that route they would have had to make her experience of surviving on the island a lot more realistic. 🤣 A lot of suspended disbelief for that part of the plot was required for viewing. I saw the time on the island more as the writer's attempt to create distance between the characters to grow past and towards each other again. But the screenwriter went more for the fantastical route rather than a realistic one (this plot device was this screenwriter's version of the hiccuping in Pinnochio, the future-seeing dreams in While You Were Sleeping, and the reading people's mind from looking into their eyes in I Can Hear Your Voice). She usually writes a kind of realistic fantasy story, so from my perspective she's being consistent here.
