Okay, I'm getting real tired of this cult-like baseless hate-train I keep seeing anytime Dunk does literally anything. Everyone who keeps on spewing hate towards Dunk on every single one of his projects needs to stop hate-watching everything he does for the sake of their own mental health at this point, because what even is the point of putting yourself through watching everything he's in if you supposedly really can't stand him that much? 🤦♀️ I'm not a Dunk stan or anything (in fact, I'm really more of a Joong fan, myself - I adore Joong's real-life personality 🥰); however, the way I always see some people going after Dunk in such petty, ad-hominem ways is just vile (and stupid to boot). No one's saying the dude is a god-tier-level actor, but I've seen a lot of bad acting elsewhere over the years and I can tell you that Dunk is not bad at all - he's actually perfectly decent at his job - and any problems you have with him personally that for some reason so fill you with hatred that you feel the need to plaster that crap everywhere every time you see his face is a reflection on YOU, not him. I say this with all sincerity: If this is you, please, get help. You need to work those anger issues out, preferably via some kind of therapy, as soon as possible - for the sake of your own health, if nothing else.
ANYWAY, back to comments about the actual show: Dunk was just as freakin' PERFECTLY cast for his role in this show as all the other 3 mains were, and I for one had the time of my life watching the first episode. Gonna completely ignore the incredibly stupid fan wars / rating shenanigans from here on out and just enjoy the rest of the ride~ ✌️✌️
it was just Joong trolling ppl in live as usual lol I find it hilarious that some ppl on twitter believed him
No need to drag other (unrelated) shows in the comments of this one. (Also, do note that before airing, We Are literally had to completely reshoot a massive chunk of the entire series all over again due to having to replace one of its original actors *after* they'd already completed most of the original filming; I think they did admirably well with everything, considering the circumstances.)
(Not going to spoiler this because everyone deserves to know what they're getting into here.)
After today's ep.: Nah, this is too much-- Jaejun is literally cheating now. Even if the first kiss (which he initiated) was meant to be a "Here, you got what you wanted, now screw off," that was not the case with the second kiss-- there was no pushback or pulling away, but rather he really got into it instead; in fact he didn't hesitate to just full-on makeout with the guy, which is definitely cheating. And IMO there is no 'redemption' for cheating. If you're in a monogamous relationship, then you have agreed to stick with that person unless you break up first; and if you're polyamorous, then all parties need to agree on both that as well as the specific terms of the arrangement for all involved for it to be ethical. I can't stand cheating plots in fiction, because they're never written correctly; it's always made to be 'okay' in the end, when it really, really is not. There's really no way back for Jaejun's character for me now. And Jihan deserves so much better than to be loyal to a cheater... but, of course, they're going to write them back together anyway. 🙄🤦♀️🤮
I think I'm going to drop this series now, unfortunately. How did the writing go this far downhill... 😕
Ugh... not loving the double love triangles/love square forming here... :( I really hate love triangles to begin with (they're nearly always super unrealistic and unnecessary, not to mention annoying)-- unless it turns into a consensual poly arrangement (which is unfortunately still quite a rare occurance in fiction at this point, although I have seen it a couple of times). And to have two love triangles developing simultaneously? Even worse! Hopefully here the triangles aren't dragged out for the whole season and are dealt with very quickly-- or just turn into a polycule, LOL (but I'm not getting any hopes up for that in this series, unfortunately).
Oh, and I'm also not a fan of characters being insanely jealous (unless they're villainous or something)-- a little is fine, if the communication gets worked out between the couple; but extreme jealousy is a red flag and not attractive at all. So I hope that gets toned down, too.
Yeah, outofthemouthsof basically answered it already, but it was both happy and sad because they apparently lived happily together for decades... but they didn't actually show any of that, not even in montage-- they just timeskipped right to Yoh's death-day. And Pun supposedly has only 20 more years left to live after that, so if Yoh was reincarnated again then they'd barely have any time together at all in that life once Yoh was of age...
Hmm... for a show that had such glacial pacing overall, why did it feel like they rushed the very ending? 3 things were disappointing: #1, that Yoh didn't fight for Pun at all during the 'wedding,' and only finally had some spark of initiative after the girl 'gave' Pun to him 🙄; #2, that once the past-lives were revealed to be true, there was not nearly enough footage of this (there should have been at least half an episode dedicated to showing more of the past lives and them meeting again and again and again to make more impact, rather than just a couple of several-second-long shots + brief mentions of it in the dialogue); and #3, that the final payoff was not very good at all... there should definitely have been more shown after they finally got together in this life-- even just a longer montage hinting at the years of happy domesticity they had or something-- rather than the almost-immediate timeskip to Yoh's death-day that they did here instead... 😕 I don't mind the bittersweet-feeling ending, and I totally understand what they were trying to go for story-wise, but it's just that the execution of that vision left a lot to be desired...
Absolutely loved it, but I needed Myungha to finally tell Yeowoon that he loves him when they reunited on the…
Some people said they thought he actually did mouth it/the sound was just muffled/muted, but yeah, it would have been much nicer to hear it out loud :)
Re: the magic powers, It's pretty much implied that the 'author' was really some kind of supernatural entity/deity/etc.…
Ah, I see, haha. 😁👍 Yeah, I think they just wanted to make the isekai part of it a mystery/reveal this time to add a different twist, rather than just making it explicit right from the beginning like is usual in the genre. :)
I enjoyed this. All the boys and characters are just too sweet and adorable. Even that brat, Chun Sang Won. One…
If it helps, it wasn't an actual videogame, it was an alternate reality which just so happens to have intrinsic game mechanics which the 'author' (who was really a supernatural entity) sent Myungha to to give him a second chance to learn how to live happily. (If you know the term 'isekai' from Japanese media, that's basically what this series' genre was. :) )
