The team tried their very best but the 2019 version was so freaking good.. FL failed to bring out the depth and…
In the 2019 version we have an almost perfect drama, and so many events are depicted differently here that it's often hard to tell that they come from the same source material.
It's funny, but before watching this one I was most concerned about how they would cast Ming Rui, and I can now honestly say that I can't choose between the 2019 version and the one we get here.
Ep 13 is not so great. Kind of far-fetched that Sia Por should be at the right time at the right spot to kill…
Agreed. I'm not on the edge of my seat, I'm mostly rolling my eyes at how the murder mystery takes the simplistic approach of making everyone super evil, therefore making it easy to say that anyone could be part of the diabolical cabal.
There's no nuance to the story, just a random gang of brutal people, their identities revealed one at a time in order to keep us in 'suspense'.
With this approach the author could just as easily make Sorawit an evil character, giving us a final big 'twist' at the end. It would make no sense, of course, but this is how this series has been written. It's lame but I give them credit for trying something different.
You need a degree in geometry to figure out all the love triangles but this is so cheerful and cute, and Prab's relentless affection for his stepbrother warms my heart.
I was betting on them not including the scene where Dae Sung confronts Heon about Sol Yi, but I was wrong and I'm happy to lose that bet.
The scene is in a toned-down version that we might expect from this 'softer' version of the series.
Dae Sung doesn't ask Heon to let go of Sol Yi, and Heon never says that she has always been his. Dae Sung also doesn't finally agree to give up on her for Heon's sake.
So, it doesn't pack the punch of the Cdrama version, but it was an important scene and I'm glad they managed to fit it in.
Next final episodes better be the ML and SML bro talk. I'm waiting for that scene.
I'm pleased to report that they do include their version of that scene. It's not as powerful but I'm glad they proved me wrong. I was sure they wouldn't try.
She and he both had a very bad day that day. He lost a patient and she was sexually assaulted. Then she learned…
It's been a while since I watched those scenes and I admit that I forgot some of these details, so you make some good points.
However .... if I had a fight with my boyfriend over him deciding to move away without him discussing it with me, and then he went ahead and moved away before we sorted it out, I'd be angry enough not to make the first move toward reconciliation.
The part about him returning home a year or so after he left and then seeing her with Bo Song at the airport has always confused me. I think the writers are to blame, though. Who travels all that distance and then leaves in a huff because he sees his ex in the company of someone she has been friends with for years? ... And the coincidence of it happening at the airport right after he lands seems a little strained.
That said, you're correct in pointing out that at least he tried.
There's also a scene where she calls him accidentally and he answers thinking she has finally caved, but then she says it was a mistake and that she'll change her number, and after the call ends he throws his phone into a lake. I remember that being played for laughs, though.
Li Ge Yang's performance in this drama is phenomenal. It's one of those star-making moments that I hope will open up more leading roles for him.
Dawn Chen is absolutely adorable, and the side couple is funny and sweet.
The series is full of time-worn tropes and senseless misunderstandings but I have yet to see an episode that I didn't enjoy. Especially Episode 8 and the scene at the aquarium. That was special no matter how you slice it.
The ML is a jerk only because he gets jealous of her and the 2nd ML. But you can always tell afterwards that he…
I was so disappointed when she took him back after he called her a loser, with no apology. To have your crush say that to you is like a knife to the heart.
In the same scene in the Cdrama he tells her she's a disappointment, which is much milder because it's a statement about her behavior and not who she is as a person.

And yes, why stop a murder from happening when you can record it on video instead? -__-
