I loved this so much more than I expected, it turned out to be exactly the type of romantic story I adore. Kim Go Eun and Jung Hae In are just wonderful in this movie, their acting is pitch perfect and their chemistry is insane from the very first scene.
The dance performance in episode 7 was mind-blowing and easily one of the most spectacular things I've ever seen in Kpop (which is to say a lot). The preview for next episode also looks incredible. I CAN'T WAIT.
Well, this was OK. I appreciate that they tried to touch on some stuff that's kinda taboo in Japanese society (even if it was done clumsily at times). I'm also really happy that Ayase Haruka isn't wasting everything she learnt while training for Seirei no Moribito and is actually using it in more mainstream and public-friendly projects. Some of the action scenes were really great and it was always clear that she did her own stunts, so I really hope she continues to do action-oriented projects. That being said, I felt most of the characters were rather bland and boring, although the drama was entertaining and fast-paced enough to keep me watching.
The first two episodes were SO much fun, one of the biggest surprises of the year. Jang Dong Yoon's performance is seriously starmaking stuff. Also, the action scenes are brilliant for this type of drama. Can't wait for next week.
I had this on hold for almost a year with only two episodes left (lol) and I finally decided to watch them, and it was a pretty good ending. I feel like the story itself dragged a bit and the same stuff kept happening over and over again, but it was always entertaining. Also, since the drama was always clear about why their relationship was wrong, it didn't feel as problematic as it would have otherwise. Okada Kenshi has SO much potential and while his acting here wasn't mind-blowing, with experience he'll become great , cause he has such expressive eyes. The supporting cast was fantastic (especially Natsukawa Yui), but I can't really say the same for Arimura Kasumi. I've always thought she doesn't deserve so much hate and that she can do truly fantastic work with the right director and script (Flying Colors and Hiyokko, for example), but this was among her worst performances IMO. Overall this was entertaining, and I hope Kenshi starts picking up more work cause I can't wait to see him in more stuff.
The story is definitely entertaining and addictive, but I really can't get into Lee Seung Gi's and Suzy's acting. He's very over the top in pretty much every scene and she just keeps doing the same old thing, which doesn't fit neither the character nor the drama itself. Also, there are some really dumb plot holes. The assassin girl is supposed to be all stealthy or whatever, but she just went around crushing into everything in a huge car wtf. That being said, I think I'll keep watching cause it's very fun and easy to watch and I'm not really following any other k-dramas at the moment (though I might put it on hold if I like the dramas premiering in the next few weeks).
The first two episodes were SO much better than I expected based on the trailer. I'm not completely feeling Seung Gi's and Suzy's acting yet, but the plot is quite interesting and very fast-paced and the emotional parts work so well (it got me close to crying a few times, which is unusual). And the drama itself it's well-made, it really feels like a top-notch blockbuster. Let's hope it doesn't turn into a mess later on.
This is my first time watching a c-drama and so far (I'm up to the 6th episode) I'm really enjoying it! It's very…
It was really cute and fun up from start to finish, even if it dragged a bit at some points. I didn't care at all about the second leads, but the main couple more than made up for it. Lin Yi is not a good actor, but his image suits the characters and he has crazy chemistry with Fair Xing, who's actually a great actress. I'm pretty happy with this as my first c-drama experience.
This is my first time watching a c-drama and so far (I'm up to the 6th episode) I'm really enjoying it! It's very light-hearted and cute, and exactly what I need these days.
The ending was pretty much perfect and very very emotional. In fact it was so good that it made increase a bit the rating I was initially going to give. My main problem with the drama was the serious pacing problem it had throughout most of it 16 episodes, but it made me cry several times, which is something that rarely happens to me while watchin k-dramas. IU and Jang Man Weol (and the past storyline) were by far the best thing about the drama.
Wow, this week's episodes were SO good, especially episode 14, so good they might make up for all the flaws. I'm seriously a sucker for the sad moments in this drama. I really have no idea what will happen next week and I don't know if I'm more excited or scared.
I wish people would stop complaining about the Netflix thing cause it's impossible to know if the rating here is due to the drama itself or only because it was divided in seasons and ends on cliffhanger...
What a delightful surprise! Great script and great acting make you get very invested in the story until it reaches a very satisfying ending. Even if you're not into law stories, give this one a chance.
Stuff like all the emotional scenes in episode 12 are the reason why at the end of the day Hotel del Luna is so worth watching despite its many many flaws and why I keep coming back every week.
Just like last week's episode with Chan Seong's mother, the whole thing with Veronica felt too rushed and it came out of nowhere. The only reason why it worked is because Sanchez is such a likeable character, but that's it. They should have given us at least a bit of time to get to know Veronica. Honestly, if the Hong Sisters had so many stories to tell I don't get why they didn't do things properly and at least started setting things up during the first half instead of rushing everything now. There are now only 5 episodes left and I love Man Weol, so I'll stick with this. I just wish the writers had made better use of the drama's potential...
I wish they had spent more time on Chan Seong's mother cause it felt super rushed and he definitely needs the development. That being said, this week's episodes were probably the most entertaining so far and it seems like the second half will be better and more focused than the first one, which I appreciate cause I was starting to get a bit tired. Let's hope it stays like this.
The first two episodes were really really good, I haven't been so impressed by the start of a k-drama in a while. Sure, there are some flaws, but I can look past them thanks to the acting and the production quality. IU is just fantastic, the role fits her perfectly and she looks absolutely gorgeous every single second. Yeo Jin Goo is great too, but I can't wait to see more of his character (and he looks hot af tbh). The cinematography, the sets and the costumes are astoundingly beautiful and they kind of keep you hooked. I'm kind of worried that the plot will drag over 16 eps, but I hope it stays as good as it is now.
I finally finished this first part today, and I have to say I enjoyed it. Some episodes were more boring than others, but the cast is fantastic and kind of makes up for it. Yes, the CGI is terrible and the whole thing looks rather cheap, but I'm kind of used to that in TV shows lol. The cliffhanger was pretty surprising (for me, at least) but I'm not sure if I'll continue with part 2 next week, cause I feel this is the type of drama that would be more enjoyable as a binge-watch instead of a weekly one.
Overall this was entertaining, and I hope Kenshi starts picking up more work cause I can't wait to see him in more stuff.
