Someone on Twitter said that fans on Douban are criticizing Mirror saying that YI Feng (Su Mo) is too much like Xu Kai's (Bai Jue) and that both are *FAT* seriously wtffffff .......and the fans don't like them. I'm not on Douban but I would just like to say......Neither Yi Feng nor Xu Kai were/are **FAT** or even slightly overweight BY ANY standard unless your standard is anorexia. and one of the things I LOVE about Mirror is that Su Mo is giving Bai Jue vibes!!! So for me it's a total plus. I know different people have different tastes but I guess "fat" ie: MANLY very romantic slightly demonic male leads are my taste *shrug*
This had all the components to be good although the premise looking back on it was kind of absurd by mixing the cheating scandal/corruption with the teacher/student scandal. In the end though it is just too overboard absurd/unrealistic and more than anything FLAT. I also think making a show about MATH and Math nerds handicapped it's accessibility. Don't get me wrong, I love all the math nerds but it's just hard to get super invested the way it was presented.
are you talking about the old crown prince we saw physically several times what he looks like. or did i miss he…
They are giving major "missing Royal" vibes. I don't know what the puzzle pieces are but it doesn't seem like he's a genuine ole hillbilly. Can't wait to find out!
I'm a Rowoon stan and other Rowoon stans are probably gonna come for me but I wish there's more to his character…
I don't think you are the only one. It's a major problem with the show as it's gone on. There just isn't much "there" after what was such a great start the first half of the season. What a shame and wasted opportunity.
I definitely agree with you, well said. You have clarified why I'm enjoying this so much. I think it's a well…
I wasn’t a huge fan of her other drama’s but this one I feel like is PERFECT for her. The director lights her up like an angel in every scene so she looks just gorgeous, and he understands that she is an interior understated actress and I think unlike some of her other drama’s, this one really captures her interior emotions and feelings well. Not everyone will feel this way, I get it but for me this show is much better than the one with Park Go Bum.
Oh well at least you and I are enjoying it even if they aren’t!
These negative comments are kind of wild to me. The show was clearly made as sort of an homage to a mix of French and American romance classics with the visuals and cinematography and OST.....
the show is as much about the mood / vibe as it is about the plot and the plot is unfolding to be about these two clearly destined lovers who are connected through all of these little things, these many moments throughout their life but only one of them knows it and the other is broken, driven, terrified failing in her career and it may not even matter that the person she was always supposed to be with is standing in front of her.
The show I suspect will be about her struggle and fight to succeed in her business on her own two feet and how he stands by her and supports her every step of the way. It may not have more huge reveals or major plot points but it is a beautiful story with two beautiful lead actors that I am thrilled to watch unfold **shrug**
