I love the CP like a lot, there's no doubt that Santa was tired from the shooting. Play with one or two children,…
I know the series was filmed over the last several months, but I think the fact that Santa's group, Jasp.er, has been ramping up their promotions and performances probably added to his tiredness. He and the other members are juggling their group stuff with their acting stuff. Probably not an easy thing to do.
The pilot video is almost 9 minutes long and tells WAY too much of the story. It should only be about 3 minutes long at most, if they're going to save anything for the actual series.
While slow and a little shaky on the acting, I initially liked this series.
But as the episodes have gone on, I have become more annoyed and even angry.
SPOILERS BELOW - stop reading here if you want to avoid them. * * * * SPOILERS ------SPOILERS ------SPOILERS-----SPOILERS ------SPOILERS ------SPOILERS * * * * Saebyeok - WHYTF would you put up with Lee Seri's stalking, NEVER ONCE reporting it, NEVER ONCE turning the red envelopes with their threatening messages over to the police??
And then when your father is violently killed by Lee Seri (by accident because she was originally targeting your boyfriend), WHY would you allow your boyfriend to feel like your father's death was somehow HIS fault???
Newsflash: Your father's death was YOUR fault because you never reported the stalking.
-- You could have prevented your father's death. -- You could have prevented Haneul's distress and misplaced guilt. -- You could have prevented your breakup with Haneul. -- You could have prevented Jeonghan (Lee Seri's brother, who is just as mentally ill as his sister) from attempting to kill Haneul by deliberately running him over with a car -- You could have prevented Haneul's memory loss. -- You could have prevented BOTH of your subsequent emotional breakdowns when Haneul discovered the letters the second time and disappeared for a while.
------------------------------
Other things that just pissed me off:
- Crappy, illogical script - since we see Lee Seri in jail after she murdered Saebyeok's father, her trial for the murder SHOULD HAVE included testimony that she had been stalking Saebyeok, and those red envelopes SHOULD HAVE been turned over to the police as evidence.
Yet we see they are still in a box in Saebyeok's apartment. We also see that Lee Seri is STILL writing threatening messages with red envelopes while she's in prison. And now she's mailing them to Haneul. BAD WRITING.
-- Once Haneul found those red envelopes the second time (he had already seen them before his memory-loss accident and the discovery of them that first time had caused his breakup with Saebyeok), he SHOULD HAVE felt very angry at Saebyeok. Not because Saebyeok had been "protecting him" when he should have instead been opening up about the stalking/letters ........but rather, Haneul should have realized all of the things that Saebyeok COULD HAVE prevented, and he should have been FURIOUS to realize Saebyeok let him feel guilty when NONE of that was ever his fault. More BAD WRITING.
-- @12:50 in Ep 8, Saebyeok says "Haneul, I wish everything about you could be my fault, so you'd never blame yourself." Ummmmmm......WTF?? It IS your fault, dumbass. NOT Haneul's.
-- Ep 8 - The crappy writing, directing and acting in the hospital reunion scene. The wooden, emotionless response of Saebyeok when Haneul walked into his hospital room after being missing for a whole month was HUGELY disappointing. Instead of hugging - the most logical and affirming physical action to take in that situation - his immediate (and emotionally dead) first action is to French kiss Haneul as if they're about to have sex. That scene should have been written as showing them hug for a while, maybe even cry......and THEN if a kiss was going to happen, it should have happened after the hug. But honestly, none of it mattered because of the awful acting from Lee Ja Woon (Saebyeok).
I never got the feeling they were a real "pairing" anyway.
They just happened to be paired for Kinnporsche (in a rather chaste way, since Code was only 16/17 years old during filming and Jeff is 10 years older than Code).
I lost my mother a few years ago. That scene between Lynx and his Mom, and the scene with them losing Granny Juu the next morning made me cry. I almost never cry during these dramas, but this time......man. Whew.
And then there was that BEAUTIFUL song that Lynx sang at the memorial for Granny Juu. If I wasn't already crying before, THAT would have set me off. It's an absolutely gorgeous song.
This series was sweet and gentle. There was nothing groundbreaking at all, but I really liked it. And it really made me miss my Mom.
If you look at her kisskh page, you'll see she's a rookie actress. Immortalis will be her first series. She was also in a movie in 2025. But that's it so far.
So.....am I right in thinking that in S2, Boston has decided to fix his Karma (after hurting SO MANY people in S1) by being a kind of evil fairy godmother, and HELPING couples who are on the fence about each other realize their feelings and get together?
I mean, he's Boston, and he's gonna do it the Boston way by screwing with people's heads, but......that's the impression I get from his actions.
Ep 11 - am I the only one who teared up when Minato and Wataru were having their "Truth Recovery Center" conversation? I was genuinely touched by that scene.
Also.....the tiny little post-credit scene was cute!!!

It seems to be an upcoming series?
But 5 years ago the same two actors did a movie with the same story line. It even had the same title.
So.....is this new "series" just the original movie, but sliced up into episodes?
Or are the same two actors actually going to be in an entirely new series but with the same exact story and same title?
