EP 11 just had me thinking too little too late! 1 hour 20 minutes of a drama and we literally get 20 minutes of satisfactory revenge. This drama just screams "missed opportunity." The writing is indeed a travesty - a spectacular fail! I don't even know why it has a romance tag, because the romance has literally been non-existent; and we're still yet to find out the back-story between our two leads.
From the preview to the finale, the writing is going to fall deeper into the depths of the ridiculous, with No Yool Sung kidnapping Kim Sa Ra. We'll then be left with a rushed 20 minutes, if that, of romance between our leads and a nod to their back-story.
lol, why would the Taiwanese think the Brits have more thieves than the US? They clearly don't know about American…
Haha. Exactly. You Americans love a bit of thieving lol 😜. I’d understand if he said, “No, not the UK, it rains all the time and they love queuing.” Now that I could understand.
Isn’t it good. I too had begun to lose faith in Taiwanese dramas, as none of the recent ones have resonated with me, but this is definitely bringing it. Fingers crossed it continues.
This makes for lovely viewing doesn't it? I find it quite raw and gritty, which captivates my imagination and fits well with my personality.
It gives me the feeling that we could have our next sublime contender for the excellent History Series, but I don't want to jinx it.
This dialogue actually made me laugh out loud. "I've saved up money for you to study abroad, perhaps the U.S., or the UK. No, they say there are too many thieves in the UK." How bloody rude, lol, we're not a nation of thieves, quite the opposite. #Hilarious. Brilliant line.
Ah, and so it concludes. Hiro finally resigned from his job and Kai finally got his man. Was it memorable? I don't think so, however, at least in our final episode we got what we were all patiently waiting for.
Hmmm... I'm not sure what to think about this episode. Was it better than the previous? Yes. Do I embrace the quirkiness of Japanese storytelling by way of being in a relationship and actually deciding to hit a bell to talk / brainstorm any issues between myself and my partner. Absolutely. I found it amusing. It's what makes Japanese dramas so very compelling and original, as with Sakae's dream sequence.
However, as a part of my realistic brain, I just can't see two, grown arse adult males, allegedly in love, sleeping beside each other in separate beds. At the very least, you want to cuddle and hold each other. My brain can't help shouting no, no, no. This would never happen. I think what I'm struggling with is the fact the drama shows not only their communication to be beyond stilted and awkward, which makes me kind of itch, but also that they have absolutely no natural desire or yearning for each other. I find their interactions and intimacy with one another formulaic. There's simply no energy or indeed chemistry to their relationship. It all just falls flat.
I'm not even going to go there with the supposed sex scene. What even was that? We saw more and felt more sexiness and desire in the previous flashbacks between Mizuki and Sakae, which tells me our two leads are diligently following the script, but quite simply, are not into each other and as a viewer, I find they actually can't hide it, which I find disappointing and hugely detrimental to the drama.
Hmmm. 🤔 Divorce is a serious subject. Murder is a serious subject. Revenge is a serious subject. Law is a serious…
OMG! How very funny! What are the chances of that ever happening?! We appear to be prolific viewers of Asian dramas. Indeed, congratulations to us 😍🥂🎉🙌🏽
