Ok. It's 6pm on Saturday, about 5 minutes into Episode 4, and I'm trippin already on pause. I'm trying to wrap my head around the first 3 episodes and the fact that the Finale is tomorrow. I have not been pulled into a drama like this in a very long time. This is going to be an all nighter. Sooo good!
To say I'm enjoying "Not Others" would be an understatement. The cast is amazing, script superbly written. I have always thought that any production with Choi Soo Young, Jeon Hye Jin, or Kim Hye Eun was better because they were in it but seeing these three beautiful and talented "A" listers, dressed down and playing off each other as just regular folk is a real treat. Just brilliant performances. As much as I love the leading ladies, the scene stealing OG's Kim Young Ok, Yang Hee Kyung, and Lee Yong Yi, (I say this with the utmost respect), turn out every scene they are in. So funny. I think I screamed the first time I saw them together. They need their own show. There is enough going on for this TV show to have been at least 16 episodes ... maybe more. That's my only con. My favorite ride is a roller coaster and it's over in a minute. I'll just enjoy the ride. One more thing (Columbo), What do you call a show that combines Comedy, Police Drama, Crime, Family Drama, Action, Romance, Mystery (lil bit), and more? Great Show!
Wow! This easily makes my "Top 10" for the year. Excellent. Loved it. First responder dramas already have the advantage of taking those hard rights into an emergency or disaster in a snap. "Fireworks of My Heart" is a 40 episode emotional ride on a wooden roller coaster.
I generally stop after three or four episodes (especially when I like the show) to read a few comments to see if this good feeling is going to last or take a hard right. I've finished four episodes and the main leads have me laughing like i'm watching "Moonlighting " from back then. Going back and forth like Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd. The comments are bumming me out. I'm keeping an open mind and pressing on.
This was a really Great Drama IMO. Blew right through it with the shorter episodes. ML & FL were superb. I really hate to put a But here, But ... Ep.11, after the flower field/kissing/fight scene, no signal, SUV won't start, raining, why didn't they just get in the incapacitated bad guys car and drive back? Not calling it a hole, just don't get it. I possibly missed something. Please help me if I did. Otherwise loved it. Beginning to end in one quick telework day.
I'm 10 episodes in. Eighteen to catch up. The character development is making me dizzy. Mixing it up pretty well. Laughing, crying, laugh-crying, screaming, cursing. Not even missin the kissin. I'm liking it so far.
