Thanks for the article! Its a cute show so far. While I'm not into the male lead she has been living with for last 3 mos, maybe he'll grow on me. I'm flexible. I do, however, like the unrequited love actor (Otani Ryohei)...more my cup of tea! I first watched when 3 eps were already subbed. I think i read somewhere that this show only releases one ep per week. That makes it easy to watch with not as much commitment as a regular drama, on the other hand, its easier to forget what happened the week or so previously. Will see how it goes...right now i am pleasantly intrigued.
Great article! So interesting. Lots of work and thought processes by you. Really appreciate the time you put into this. <3
p.s. Love the line..."so much potential, too much airtime." I can certainly see that in many long dramas, not just Cdramas, but Kdramas and Taiwanese as well. (I don't recall ever watching a long JDrama)
All I see is arguments in the comments section lol I suppose I will have to find out for myself if this drama…
To net it out for you, this story is about the unraveling of the lives of multiple characters. IU's character is a catalyst for the ML's spiraling business AND personal life becuz she was hired as an con-like person to tail him...provide damaging info and in some cases plant damaging info. He is her boss. She is a temporary worker. She is way poor and in a state of desperation, taking on jobs like this. She is being beaten up regularly by an obsessive loan shark. As of the current ep 12, they do not have a romantic relationship. In watching him as her target, she started to become human and be a little mystified by him..and is kinda liking him. He is so under water with his trauma's that when he learns of it, it is inconceivable to him. Maybe it will turn to something romantic, but its kind of the last thing I am thinking of amidst all the issues they are facing. Maybe it will turn into something romantic, maybe friends, but right now its none of the above. Its more like a bond between 2 people trying to survive a disaster.
Even with all I have said, the above detail is just barely spoilerish. I left out a lot so that you could experience the story as we have who have been watching since the beginning.
It is the best thing going right now and I highly recommend it. The writing and acting by all, including all the supporting cast, is amazing.
where did u watch this? can't find it anywhere. even if i have subs only that will be ok, there is an unsubbed version on youtube that I could add subs to.
what exactly is that about? the title doesn't reach out to me, but Elvis Han does...
ok great. another person recommended it and i am about to have time to check it out in the next day or so...or something else. so is romance thread in it then?
There is some romance but it is very little when compared to the main overarching plot and theme. The main lead…
Your review helped me reconsider. I was on the fence about watching. Not because of the romance issue, but I've seen a number of folks put this on hold and I was wondering why. I think your review helps explain that. I plan to watch fairly soon. Thanks for the info and accepting the friend request!
Right, so for me, this show is like crack, especially since I feel like everything I have been picking up has…
Absolutely more politics and military strategy. At least in the first half of the show. Not to scare anyone, there IS romance, and it IS a focus of the show, but a slow slow burn.
All the actors are really good, but I am on episode 11 and already sick of the dynamic between the leads. They…
i completely understand. I was feeling that way too. luckily there is a new step in their relationship with some honest confessing in the last couple eps. I am on ep 19.
its interesting to see all these comments about loving this movie and yet the overall score is so low. i watched it because NGM was in it. He did a great job as a psycho rapist. I can see why he has played multiple bad guys since this...he's damned good at it. I didn't like the film overall because there were so many scenes where someone is being chased in the dark and I couldn't tell who it was, or was wearing a hat, or it was raining. The ending may explain why....perhaps it was by design. It just annoyed me so much during the flow of the movie that it didn't matter if it was by design. its was a decent psychological story that had more potential IMO.
