I still remember when I tried to watch this drama with my sister for the first time, we couldn't even finish the first ep. Then after some time we tried to watch it again. Somehow finish the first ep, it was so boring, but we decided to give it a try as we had already watched reply 1997 and liked it so much. And then the fun began, we couldn't stop us from playing more episodes. It felt as if we were living in that neighborhood. We couldn't stop laughing and slapping each other. And the way I cried at Jung Hwan's confession scene. So many years have been passed, my sister is living in a different city for study purposes, I have done my graduation and trying to build up a better career. As the eldest daughter I can relate to Bora when it comes to parent's expectations and my relationship with my father. Again I feel relatable to Deok Sun, like how can everyone know what they want to be. As an adult I still feel lost some times. Rewatching this again made me wonder how could someone dislike this drama. Dramas like reply series, summer strike, my mister, and my liberation notes are just therapy. I will never understand this new watchers. Maybe they are too young or I'm just an old granny for liking this genre.
Personally, I found this drama to be subpar, so it's very nice to see others who share those views. I spoke with…
Even though I enjoyed it, I couldn't deny your facts. I'm really shocked at myself because I don't enjoy this kind of cheesy drama anymore. But I really enjoyed watching this one after ages. Then again, I think the main reason was nothing but my mood.
And today I realised that I made a wise decision by not watching it ongoing. I mean, it would be really hard for me to wait for new episodes every week. I don't know how to judge this drama; I just know as an old fan of Kdramas who is still attached to dramas from 2016, I found this drama so amazing. I don't know why but I felt like a teenager giggling over their cute interactions and romantic scenes. If you don't like dramas like this one, just ignore it, and watch something else. After all, everyone has a different taste. But spreading negativity just because it got a high rating is nothing but showing immature behaviour.
episode 21- the lake scene where he just came and took her in his arm (ughhhhhhhhh) episode 22- me crying in the corner. No matter which ML you have supported here, anyone is bound to feel sorry for this man. I think he officially became the biggest second lead syndrome for me in Cdramas.
It’s been over 100 days since Liu’s death and people are still mourning him 🥹 the power this man has 🤲🏻
People are mourning since the first season, because we unfortunate people also read the epilogue of the novel. I hold it for 4 months as couldn't bear to watch XL's death.
"Yearning surpasses time, waiting brings no bloom, You never show up, In every corner of this earthly realm, it's longing, it's self-pity. The tone of tenderness, it's muteness, it's imprisonment, Scenes unfurl within myself, It's the way back, it's the way home, Life is like dancing in the snow, it's Loneliness....................................."
So it's December 05, and I finished the last half of the drama today. I don't know why did I stop in the midway while it was airing. Maybe I didn't want to see my favorite character's death. I'm not dragging any group here, yes every character has suffered here more or less. But only one person had suffered yet couldn't gain anything except loneliness. So, he saved her when she was dying, he saved her lover too so that she could rely on someone, he saved her again from the bug by killing his two lives, gave her the authority to roam around the vast sea, so that she could have a place at least. And, the biggest thing is, he never wanted her to know about his sacrifices for her. I know there are different kind of love in this world, but if his love is not one of the greatest kind of love then what? Everyone had at least one person here except XL. CX got a closure, Jing and XY got their happy ending, even a brat like the queen got her final closure and chose to be a good queen. But who left alone here, XL. Bro ended up with his loneliness, while he didn't live a single moment for himself. And the most pathetic one was XL even prepared a wedding gift for her, hahaha......... and she was unaware about his sacrifices till the end. Thanks to the director, that she shed some tears on his death. Indeed, in every corner of this earthly realm it's longing, it's self pity for people like us who could relate their emotions to XL's. I better go and watch a happy ending drama by XL. Otherwise I'll lose my mind.
I was ignoring it as much as possible, because I knew I would cry like a mad woman. And yeah I did. And my asked "what happens to your eyes." I'm a grown woman, and couldn't say mom he just gone mom it's Tooru, mom! Ugh, thank God I have my antidepressants with me. Japanese writers are like "it's a good story, they have good chemistry let's kill one of them, or perhaps both, or a separation could be okay too." Please, don't torture us anymore. Dear people , suggest me some worth watching japanese movies. I wanna cry more because I'm a shameless.
This comment section is giving me more entertainment than some kdramas of new era. Yeah, guys I agree with you people, both of them don't know how to act, you people go and act instead of them.
I love Shin Min Ah and her works since "My Gf is a Gumiho", but after reading the novel and webtoon, I feel Seo Yea-ji or Shin Hye-sun could be a better option for the role of Navier.
Soft-hearted ML and very good love stories, that are not in your list yet:Amidst a snowstorm of loveEncounterOne…
TBH, going through drama block I guess this year I watched only selected dramas, just like now I'm watching only "Love next door". And I watched the first ep of these dramas that you mentioned and couldn't watch the next eps. I guess I'll try them later.
The dramas which released for past 3, 4 years all have soft ,submissive mls .......wha more do u want bro ?!???!
Bro I already mentioned that I have watched most of them. And by that type I didn't mean only the ML but a good story too. If you didn't understand the assignment then judt ignore it.
What are you talking about? He does have a main role in shows like Doom at Your Service, Tomorrow, Born Again,…
IKR, infact he was more mesmerizing as a hot vampire in the scholar who walks the night (tho I love Lee Joon-gi), but by main lead role I meant the first ML not the second ML. I haven't watched born again, so I don't know if he is the ML or SML there.
episode 22- me crying in the corner.
No matter which ML you have supported here, anyone is bound to feel sorry for this man. I think he officially became the biggest second lead syndrome for me in Cdramas.
