Y’all chillI’ve watched the first 3 episodes, pretty interesting. Nice watch, not ground breaking, but I would…
Episode 8 is insane, hold your breath for it. At episode 3, I really saw this as just another time travel drama, with very good production and acting but it became so much more later on, really playing on your emotions and very moving.
This is reminiscent of "Someday or One Day" 想见你 which is a big complement. The plots are not the same, although time travel is involved but the feeling you get is the same, the themes are very similar, at its core it's really about empathy, as the characters grow by better understanding strangers through the time loop.
Beautiful movie, in terms of everything except plot. I think people are not realizing you do not watch this kind of movie for plot. The acting, the music, the cinematics, and the theme of fate and lovers separated, that is why you watch this movie.
Reading the synopsis this seems way too formulaic of a tearjerker, I have no doubt in my mind this is a good drama and will be moving but a part of me just makes me not as motivated when the idea of "hey, you should cry", is being spoonfed to me even by just reading the synopsis.
To be intentionally and sarcastically cynical: Let me guess, they made the main character autistic so that he doesn't feel anything doing his job, points for autism which leads to life lesson -> everyone is unique and valuable, make the worlds a better place, yes we've all seen this. And of course let's bring in someone who's fairly emotional and have him go through the job and that character represents us, the audience, a little crazy at times.
As someone who has liked drama about life lessons but also tends to avoid them, I'm not entirely motivated to watch this, but would be interested in being persuaded.
In my opinion too much "Hollywood trimmed" like many Korean-Netflix co-production. Only 10 episodes with net.…
If you want to lean away from american/hollywood influence on drama, you'd actually want to be watching more chinese / japanese / thai? drama. They are not made with western audience in mind. Likewise, popular forms of asian entertainment tend to shift to target a global audience, for example it used to be: anime, kpop, now kdrama as well.
When I heard about Netflix funding kdrama, this was a concern. I haven't watched this yet but maybe what you might be onto something.
I'm tempted to watch this as someone who did like Summer's Desire, another melodrama of Sophie. Sometimes just try to turn off your brain, the plot isn't going to make much sense but you can still enjoy the acting, music and character development perhaps. This drama isn't for everybody, I mean no drama is, but this is even narrower.
Did anyone actually watch this or just gave up at the synposis?
it's a 10/10 for me but shit the ending made me cry. i think the point of this movie is that the one that truly…
I like the ending too but I think that theme is actually pretty common. The other theme is that love is about the journey, not the outcome, the message is that he didn't waste 15 years of his life, he grew. Overall, not that special, other movies have done this e.g. You are the apple of my eye, not to mention this is an adaptation.
i didnt play league of legends before i started reading the novel and watching this drama and i totally loved…
Funny you mention league of legends, apparently the game played in this drama is OPL (Onmyoji Arena) but if feels more like League of Legends esports and the chinese league LPL, and the fans hate how the game portrayed the esports scene.
Ending was good, but you have to sit through a lot of episodes in the second half without much development then they rushed the ending because they probably ran out of time, strange.
So let me get this straight: this is a korean movie that takes place in China and spoken in english. *mind blown*
Overall good movie, but very typical and the premise doesn't make much sense. The father and grandfather had to have been immensely stubborn for that to happen. It's one of those inflated plots taking a common issue but then exaggerating it into something that's completely unrealistic (but more epic I guess).
Well unfortunately the Chinese government controls and sensors what can be aired in dramas. That is why most of…
Only if the drama is different from the novel, if the novel is just as bad as the drama, then it's not because of censorship, the story is just bad but that's what the target audience wants.
The romance between the leads was a little weird. I mean, I feel like the drama focused more on the main characters…
Nickhun and Fei should have been together, they had better chemistry than with the other leads. I don't mind the jealousy as much it's a nice change from all the typical romance drama nowadays, but if they were going for this jealousy plot, it would have been more interesting if the Nickhun and Fei would have more of a story together, not so much cheating but just breaking up and finding new love type of thing. Maybe I'm just obsessing over those 2 but I really did wish they were the main couple lol.
Fun fact: both Nickhun and Fei both have origins in Hainan, a southern island of China, no wonder they had great chemistry in this drama despite not being a couple.
