It was strange because it suddenly turned into an educational show, delivering the message directly and explaining it as if to children, instead of conveying it through storytelling like it had done up until the last two episodes.
The last two episodes were a bit disappointing—dragged out and not as emotionally engaging as the rest of the series. There’s also a noticeable shift toward a moralistic tone, with a somewhat forced attempt to sound educational. It’s a shame, because I really love the actors, their charm, and especially how they portrayed their characters. I truly adore them and the way they brought their roles to life.
I didn’t mean that specific drama, but rather the unsuccessful collaborations in general. Also, the title and poster of the drama are actually a reference to a 1950s American film, which already suggests a certain problematic aspect. Personally, I think all these remakes just don’t work.
The umbrella scene? What film was it originally from? I'd like to know also I love your analysis of this series…
The umbrella scene originally from A Romance of Their Own (2004), . It became iconic and has been referenced in other shows since. And thank you—I’m really glad the analysis resonated with you and gave you a new perspective on the drama.
Until episode 9, the series was somewhat enjoyable and pleasant, but from episode 10 onwards, it's difficult to watch, which is very disappointing because the actress is really bad and can't express complex emotions convincingly, especially as the plot becomes more dramatic and demands more acting skills. In contrast, the main actor performs very well, but their dialogue is so clichéd and corny that it's not very convincing despite all his efforts. It seems that such series should be short, like most other Japanese series, a maximum of 8-10 episodes, or at least the actress should have been better.
Up to episode 7 and it still keeps you on the edge, thrilling and interesting, but not sure it's suitable for a rewatch. Episode 6 is very hard to watch.
Here in Brazil, I'm still on episode 9, because we usually have a delay in the translation, but even so, here's…
This comes more from your perspective rather than seeing it as a complex relationship between two individuals, each with their own psychology. I also think he was more of a partner than she was. He made the decisions he believed were right as someone committed to the relationship, while she made decisions as an individual. She didn’t know how to communicate as well as he did. I don’t think she decided for him but rather for herself. The last episode actually reflects this, and she even says it—she regretted not going with him. Getting married means building a family, and as a mother, you inevitably sacrifice your career. He agreed with what she said and didn’t insist, but throughout the series, we’ve seen that he gives her space to realize things on her own because, ultimately, she didn’t know how to communicate. In the end, she does communicate, and of course, they end up together.
It's unfair that it doesn't continue every week; there's always something to prepare on the irori, and we have so much to look forward to until their wedding. It's really frustrating.
The last episode disappointed me tremendously. All the lovey-dovey moments throughout the series- only to end in a breakup over something as trivial as work. And what is marriage if not building a family? It felt like a forced ending that shattered all the enjoyment of the series with a ridiculous decision that made the viewer feel like everything was completely meaningless.
These types of shows always seem to have a breakup due to a long-distance job, which I guess is a common thing in Japan. But still, when you love someone, you're willing to compromise. The ML was willing to sacrifice, yet she pushed him not to, but when it was her turn to give something up, she didn't—without even the slightest effort. Even when he suggested breaking up, she didn't fight for it and immediately hung up the phone.
In the end, it didn't feel like a truly in-love couple but rather a childish show written by a lovesick teenager or someone who has no idea what love really is.
It's a mean comment, it's true he has had surgeries and it's true he looks older than his age, but it's still…
He's writing something true, But reading it, especially on the actor's personal page, feels somewhat hurtful. It's not as if he can do anything about it; he was simply trying to maximize his success in the entertainment industry because he didn't have much choice. It's not like he underwent some extraordinary procedure—he had surgery that allows him to make a living doing what he loves.
The series could have had at least 10 episodes; it's a shame it was rushed. However, I feel like I traveled back in time to a different era of Korean dramas, and it's really good. It's been a long time since there was a series that keeps you on the edge and constantly surprises you.
Dropped.I can’t connect with this over-the-top Mother Teresa syndrome unless there’s some comedic or grotesque element to justify it. The FL not only loves a man who doesn’t respect her but also forgives a manipulative woman trying to steal her husband. I highly doubt such a person exists in reality, and if she does, she’s probably not in her right mind.
it's like some people in this site love to hate on jdramas ne... anyway, I dont rly like the ML so I'm struggling…
This is the result of exposing brainless people to J-dramas. Unfortunately, the world is becoming more and more exposed to these series because they’re bored with American shows, so they come to trash Japanese dramas out of boredom. Naturally, as more series are produced, not all of them will be high quality, and it’s perfectly fine to dislike or critique them. However, most of the comments don’t engage with the series in a meaningful way but instead dismiss an entire Jdramas outright.
