back to 8.5, both castaway diva and atypical family deserve a higher rating.this is why netflix gets bad shows…
Nah the rating is very fair for both. The leads' relationship in The Atypical Family progressed very unaturally while Castaway Diva's loveline felt very lame and overshadowed by the sismance. 8.5 is still good.
Now for dramas that do deserve higher rating: Will Love In Spring, Mad For Each other and One Spring Night.
That writing for See You In My 19th Life was bit of a let down though, but hopefully Writer has improved, especially since it's same genre of past lives she should have improved some in writing about past lives in a more exciting way and less average romcom way maybe? 🤔
Edit: To be fair, the chemistry between the SYIM19L leads wasn't there, so this drama will automatically be better if these leads have chemistry.
I've liked her since about 2017 in her movies with Kim Nam Gil and then with Han Hyo Joo, and she still looks same while KNG and HHJ clearly aged lol. 7 Years later and STILL looks same age, didn't age at all. Aging stopped at 30 😅
I have to say that Will love in spring is for sure realistic buildup of the relationship. But it is straight up…
Oh I agree then, THAT part of FL I also DID have issue with.
...Too many viewers took too much offence over her accusation towards ML and her unwillingness to sacrifice Shanghai/career, I thought you were among those people. 😅
Apparantly that leaving part followed the book it was based on. Suddenly abandoning your partner IS NOT OK. I think the drama should've adressed this and mentioned FL and ML talking about going to theraphy with FL talking about doing better. But I guess theraphy too taboo for asian drama 😅 Plus it seemed to me the writer was in a rush to write the ending + had pressure from higher ups in aligning the ending with book ending to give a propaganda ending of "Return to smalltowns gen MZ people!"😅 .
Overall I did found the ending satifying in them finding a compromise and realization/finally a firm promise to priotize the relationship & work on it no matter what; yet all this with FL not having to actually give up career: BUT with the small need of adressing theraphy (especially for FL!) sadly missing.

No I can't agree with you there. FL's behaviour made sense in her situation as a disabled person desperate to prove herself, especially in chinese culture. (I'm disabled too but in different way, so I understand her. She wasn't manipulative, only highly irrational and traumatized. I think the drama maybe should've shown more FL inner life/past trauma flashbacks so also non-disabled people could understand her better) Also let's be real, most millenials wouldn't be keen to stay in a small town either😅, it was realistic that way too.
Also most women wouldn't put up with ML's career, much less worry and be there for him during the though times his career got to be too much, most would ask him to switch career to something less depressing/taboo, especially asian women, see his blind date in ep2 who tells him to switch careers & the times Ml mentions his dating life was dead after pursuing his career....But I guess some of you viewers forgot those part of plot and only focused on flaws of FL....
I liked it overall. 8.5/10. OTP buildup was forced, so no full 10....
I'd give it a higher rating if it all didn't fell abit flat somehow too. I don't know. It feels like deep writing and good characterization, but at the same time SOMETHING is missing.
Maybe it's mainly that the leads's relationship felt a bit forced to me, and lacked abit natural buildup, went from "I'm destined to like you because in the future I will "(what a dumb reason to like someone to begin with) to too quickly into "I will die for you". The fantasy timetravel element made their relationship buildup very unnatural instead.
Add to this, only average chemistry. Felt NOTHING during their kisses lol. I only liked them together because I'm fan of Both leads, don't know If I'd shipped them if this was my 1st drama with them both....😅
For a better chemistry and realistic buildup I recommend Will Love In Spring drama (Gave it a 10/10). Or perhaps I wouldn't be so harch on this TAF couple if WLIS hand't aired not too long ago.....
Ironically every other relationship was built up nicely (except the redemption of the other family, too quickly there). Inna and FL had a very lovely Step-mom & Step-Daughter relatipnship, The Siblings bond, Bok Don't Eat & her trainer etc....
Someone explain why ML didn't just JUMP WITH her from down from the window to safety?!? His speech delayed them too, they clearly wouldn't have been THAT much of in a hurry had ML not just STOOD AROUND talking for so long!!!!
..Too convienient, this writer must avoid that to have more dramatic "goes missing/dies" plot until the end?!!😅😅😵💫

I agree, that's why I gave The Atypical Family only 8.5/10, their relationship was so off.
CANCEL PROJECT OR THROW OUT THE ML.
Writer and PD are shameless! 🤮🤮
Two excellent underrated actors that sound really dreamy together too! 😍

DREAM PAIRING!!! 😍😍😍😍
PLEASE I HOPE THEY BOTH CONFIRM & THAT THERE'S ROMANCE!!!
INTERNAL SCREAMS!!!
Edit. Both writernim and PDnim known for making romance dramas, so I guess likely at least some romance here too!

Asian genes + takes care of herself well?

Bonus, it has Jeon Yeo Been as lead too.
