I have not seen it, just considering to watch it. But as soon as I read the description about all those pretty much rich guys (surely writer is well off enough), I am sure drama will go with the cliche and pick the PE teacher? Or am I wrong?
If I do decide to watch it I won't read the replies until I watch it though since I hate spoilers lol.
I love this. I don't care about plot holes - "best dramas" etc have them too, no exception ABSOLUTELY. Just have to get used to it. In real life people do stupid things too, later regretting it.
What I hate is open endings. No, it's not smart. No, it's not making you "think". Because no matter how many 100 scenarios you come up with, and reason thru them all, agreeing on 1 most likely one, doesn't mean it happened. Because matter of the fact is, story was never written. It's just lazy writing. It is not my story, if I wanted to read my story I would've written the whole scenario myself. It is writer's scenario and I want it to be finished to the end, so I can draw conclusions from it. With the open ending it is not possible.
On another note... Gyuri and Jisoo modern age Bony And Clide, succumbed to modern societal pressures. I wish they never met, even if he would've gotten into trouble sooner or later, Jisoo would've been to scared to act and distanced himself. And Gyuri could've succumbed to her parents pressure but later paid them back 10-fold.
I really liked Minhee as well, though end of day it was her choice, even if Jisoo enabled her to do this. But I guess her bigger issue was what happened with Mr. Lee, I am still so confused by what she wanted from him. As she said, he was like grandfather to her, and he seemed like the only one of the few people to care about her. But end of day he still let her do this, so he wasn't a saint. Not sure what kind of relationship she expected afterwards with him, after it all ended. Would he be like her dad-figure?
Speaking of him, too bad he died. Was one thing I wished never would happen but could tell it was heading there from the beginning, as his setup was too cool to let him live. .Writer wants to cause more pain to the viewer for the impact.
Kitae was an asshole as well, sure, but end of day he didn't deserve that much shit to him. Life ruined for that attack, and not sure what happened with Jisoo. Looks like he managed to survive? Someone helped him and Gyuri at the end? Because he looked up and saw someone appear, and later director messed with the view making you think it was the detective for a minute, but it wasn't since no one was there when she showed up.
Honestly I just wish for season 2 with closed ending, showing it was Mr Lee who saved me and faked his death before, MInhee alive, etc. All forgotten and forgiven, running somekind of business - maybe closing other pimps or something.
Great actor, executes the script above what you think is possible, without him supporting many of the dramas wouldn't be as good as they are. I hope he gets bigger roles or main role, he deserves it.
Great actor, Psychopath's diary, almost no dialogue due to the type of role he played yet all the movements he has done were amazing portraying real life like situations making you twitch.
Really loved this guy in Psychopath's Diary. It's not about the script he got. He executed it above perfection, made it so funny, his reactions and micro-movement and tells, it was brilliant. If he ever gets a main, or another big role please tag me, even if it's completely different genre and many years later.
Thanks, appreciate it. But it's been too long, dunno why I wanted to see this. Not into movies / short k-dramas, let alone 28-minute pilot story. Maybe will come back to me though.
A lot of people like it, and I really hoped to like it, but I just don't. It feels like another mediocre korean kdrama which if in the right mood is bingeable. But having seen Suits (stopped watching after season 5 or so), I can't get but bored, thinking how originals would behave.
Korean counterparts just lack the same bite, missing out on that strength and uniqueness. It's not actors fault, but unfortunately writer / director came up with the super weak character-adoptions. No smartness to them, very average.
It's still a good show, but I was hoping for strong, feisty characters with a bite to them, yet they are so weak and average. I have seen so many kdramas with stronger characters than in Suits, so I was really hoping this would be next level to that, yet it's not even that, but average at most.
Doesn't sound like a goldigger from first few sentences at all.... She just wanted to marry stable guy as her dream was to be a housewife. And she is damn good at it, great wife like a dream. What's wrong with that? Never laid eyes for others, working hard, super sweet, pretty, great personality, caring, great cook, supportive etc.
Not spoilers btw, all in description.
It's the guy's fault. He didn't discuss it with her and quit his job. Straight into marriage, no savings. WTF? Means he always was planning on it, and lied to her until he married her, "locked her in".
You discuss those kind of important decisions first until both agree. And you always have savings enough for year's+ living expenses. And you never quit for a business, you do it in parallel with work, even if it takes longer and less family time. Once you finished building and start marketing, and need more hands on time to ramp it up, or there's an opportunity, then you quit and take it. Not like this guy did. Making her sweat and work gruelsome and over the normal working hour jobs for years, and even take on debts, and left her with debts to pay off for years. A real scumbag.
I am more than eye for an eye kind of a person, world isn't black and white, don't let people step over you. If anything imho she should've just took revenge on him -- seduced, divorced taking as much money as she could. Cus he didn't even try helping her, what a scum bag.
After what he did to her and how he treated her, owed her few millions so she should live okay for rest of the life, should've made it his first priority sorting her out after getting rich.
You have to be clear before you marry. And she was. She wanted to be the best housewife, support her husband etc. He could've done business and still succeeded. But he lied, quit as soon as married, making her support him 4 years, and debts for 3 more years. CRAZY. There's only one villain and it's him. And after that, his attitude and how he acted, all crap about "betrayed my trust, etc". Dude you are the only one who did it.
This was the worst drama ever and I love it. So contradicting right? Worst because of the ending and how it haunted…
Remove your reply or mark it as a spoiler please, you literally are ruining the ending for people who want to watch this by describing what to prepare for in the end of the drama.
Many people, like me, watch dramas for the journey, not knowing what to expect, or have hope even if things don't look good even during the last minute. Yet with your comment you destroy all that, as now I can know 100% that it won't turn out how I will hope it to.
I was checking comments whilst deciding if I am to watch it now, and you literally made it so I won't watch it because of the spoiler....
Please be mindful of others don't spoil it, that's what spoiler tag is for...
Great drama. I feel sad it was rushed at parts, could've easily been 4-8 full episodes longer, as it didn't drag - all of it, beginning, middle and end was interesting.
But I am quite pissed some last important moments got rushed. Didn't say what Ki Taek's illness was, if he survived successfully, and if he did - what did he do next? Pass civil servant exam, or do chef's training as he said before.
Dr Seo's plot too, just as it was heating up, got cut out of nowhere. Would've wanted a better peaking point and the way it got wrapped up.
Love story personally got wrapped up nicely, it was never a focus of the show, yet complement it very nicely and naturally, how it happens IRL. Was great. I didn't need to see any more, but if they included more in prolonged episodes would've been good as well.
Great actress, deserves bigger roles. Even though very few scenes in Radiant Office, managed to evoke quite a few emotions with her expressionable acting which made me want to see more.
In the future if anyone is reading and she starred in some new dramas as a bigger role (even if it's one of the main support characters), please tag me. As of time of writing her last role was radiant office. I would like to see more.
Edit: It's on Avistaz as Outrageous Roommates - 720p, all 33 eps subbed. Looks like it was cancelled earlier than planned 49 episodes.
