presently watching the last episode.. and tae hwan .... is not suited to ji yeon..that man is clearly very self centric. i dont know how i relationship can survive like this. how can you not be curious about your partner? sigh
not gonna lie... i am also hook to this drama. not a fan of deng wei but i love xian xia (despite starting to feel jaded a bit with the regular tropes)... but that said, there's something fresh about love of the divine tree that i kind quite put my fingers on. I can probably attribute it to the story telling element which is really good. highlights for me include scenes of how MCG tricks, and tames SYS to join her , slowly but surely. i How SYS is a hero with unhero like qualities lol.... like he dont mind resorting to dirty tricks as long as he attain what he wants. i guess i am also attracted as well to the heroine who is so carefree and believe in the greater good, despite going against all the high and mighty good sects who thinks they know better. hope the story continues to keep up the quality of its story telling.
i ship dong ho and arin. they are so well matched and endearing. contrary to some people who think he is attracted to hae lin - i feel she shakes him up but not exactly in away to cause his heart to waver (well not yet i feel). as an accountant , maybe he prefer someone more stable? Anyways, i am just noticing how he has his arms folded on the night hae lin talk to him and confess she will be choosing him. to me, folded arms means having his guard up. also during the girls wrestling match, it seems he did look over to check on arin. i do hope those two end up together. hopefully they will stay the course
such an underrated drama... i never thought to give it the time of day as i was unfamiliar with the ML and not a huge fan of the actress (but i liked her in business proposal). so i was taken by surprise by the plot and the emotional journey. so relatable for people who suppress their feelings, for those who put others before theirs and how the ML is slowly but surely healing the FL of her own trauma.
Some people commented about the female lead - but i find no fault with her. I can see how she was Sang Ha's shinny bright sun who offers him hope and warmth when he is hurting. no doubt the drama placed more emphasis on the growth or unravelling the story of the Hae Joon and Sang Ha and probably fail to portray the FL's own journey. but to me, what is chosen to be told in the drama is good enough.
surprisingly light heartedly entertaining. however at the moment i am more drawn to story of the younger counterpart. i feel its too cheesy for the older actors to still be so - so kiddie.
i love this remake. have all the feels, family bonding and well crafted story which tug at the heart strings. i have watched a bit of the original version, but i still prefer this korean version, maybe because it is too the point and no deviations. i guess i have not much patience to sit through a 40 episodes drama esp if time is wasted on fillers. in terms of ML development to liking the girl whom he grown up with - was believable. of course how the FL develop her feelings for him was not properly fleshed out (hence the setback of having shorter episodes to tell the narrative!) I liked how the ML confessed his feeling and made it known repeatedly to the FL after the time jump and being away. Comparatively,. i recall watching the original C drama where the ML kissed the FL while she was sleeping, now that was so creepy. I liked how the 3 "siblings" interact with each other -it was very clear that Hae Joon behaves like a brother to Ju woon. but Sang Ha, clearly draws a line despite how Ju Woon insist they are family. Overall a very good watch, emotional at times and a beautiful story about what it takes to be a family.... whether blood related or not.
hmmmm is it me but i am at ep17 and feel that a lot of scene are disjointed - like patched together just to show off some latest prowess or upgrades attained by the main characters? also shocking the death of lunar sect leader was death with nary any emotions from FL and his only daughter? also trying to figure out the relationship between Ji Yang and Sen Luo and why Sen Luo kow tows to JY when he is the one who is possessing him? Anyways, ZLH definitely rocks in on the dark side.
