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.
I agree with you, I loved that scene in the Cdrama. It really showed how much he loved her and needed her. Him…
Ikr! This was the payoff for the viewer after tolerating his remote personality for so many episodes, and getting angry with him, often even hating him on her behalf.
When he finally does get emotional you've traveled a long road with him as the guy who never expresses himself, so when he opens up and becomes so emotional it hits you in the gut.
A lot of viewers of the Kdrama are happy that Heon is a softer version of the ML, but the consequence could be that they'll miss seeing that beautiful scene -- which I still rewatch every now and then because both of the guys did a fantastic job with it.
Sol Yi is the only character whose behavior isn't maturing as she gets older. All the other characters are becoming adults. What was the director thinking?
This Heon guy does not apologize and is incapable of being humble. For him to say that he never considered that he and Sol Yi had broken up is the height of arrogance.
Sure, buddy -- it's just a lovers' spat when you move out of the country and don't contact your supposed girlfriend for several years, then return without telling her. He clearly thought he'd show up again and she'd take him back without a second thought.
I love this series. I'm just struggling to understand why Soli is so mad at Heon. She's kind of annoying at the…
She and he both had a very bad day that day. He lost a patient and she was sexually assaulted.
Then she learned that he was thinking about going to the US and had never even consulted her, despite the fact that they'd been dating for a few years.
He then actually DID leave, without further discussing it with her. If he didn't consider them broken up then he should have tried to get things right again. He repeatedly made her feel that he was the one calling the shots. He deserved to lose her, and he deserves to have to work his ass off to get her back.
Based on the preview I don't think we'll be getting the scene where Heon and Dae Sung drink together and Heon bares his soul. It looks like it's Jin Hwan who will give Heon a lecture instead of Dae Sung, and then the female doctor colleague will push him even more until he finally asks Sol Yi for forgiveness.
Dae Sung, meanwhile, will probably just be turned into the guy who didn't get the girl.
If this happens I will be extremely disappointed, since that scene between the FL's two suitors is arguably the most powerful one in the entire Cdrama version.

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

He's so much less of a man than Dae Sung.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.
