Yikes, it was ok. I liked it enough to finish it but everything felt so sedate, so overly calm and disjointed even thru the supposedly intense events, I felt like I needed to crawl into a coffin for a nap a few times to get thru this...lol. It felt very cutsey, very fluffy but very sleepy to me. Needs improvement all around but like everyone else mentioned, it was ok, seems most enjoyed it just enough like me to finish it but this will be highly forgetful. I had some smiling moments in it so.....good attempt ig

Just watched eps 1-6. FANTASTIC!! Pooh/Pavel, 2 of my top favs. Both are just great actors and bounce off each other in top form. Love the dynamics! 2nd leads are packing a good punch to the story also, great connection as usual and all actors are killing their roles. What is best....the story line and how it is written so clear, so engaging and mysterious but understandable from the start and I know what the heck is going down but has suspense, intensity, supernatural and loving the amt of time they are giving the couples and romance elements in the story now. They are ramping up the intimacy levels to set the couples in full motion soon. No idea how the next 1/2 will continue but hope it holds its' fantasy, gore, and intrigue til the very end. Pooh/Pavel were stars in Pit Babe Series for me and they are slaying this project also. Writers, give ya a good job on this script!! I am enjoying this to no end. Pooh and Pavel on screen I am just melting when they act out their close scenes and I have a huge grin thru it all. Having a blast with this series!

agreed. This film worked!!!

I liked it but has issues. The 2 mains is what held this story for me. Both truly showed their emotions, how much they wanted to be together and they had chem I could vibe easily with their characters and both actors are talented. The time travel/cross parallels is a nuisance series to me since if they are not written well they are so annoying. I wish the info in the last 2 eps was filtered into the story from the start. Too much bit filler and story wasn't streamlined well to give us better understanding earlier on, the flow of this was also off for me. Ending was unsatisfying but I enjoyed it once so I was happy to see these 2 actors work together! Hope both get better projects! I want to see them again definitely! Pet peeve but I laughed thru it is when he is on the couch falling asleep and those darn pillows, every shot the pillows are in a different position, never under his head, til the final shot, he is propped on those 2 pillows LOL I wanted to shred those pillows haha...funny tho

Ep 8 and I am all mushy giggling like a little kid in a candy store. I honestly love love love all the Japanese series and I can't get enough of these 2 mains in this show. Omg the adorableness of it is thru the roof for me...lol. So happy I still have 2 eps left, means I get more of them. :) :) ahh, fun times!

I agree. I think the film was hinting at the piling of life's events on any young person, and for Yu's, with the parents bit of unsettling situation we saw and the school gossiping, while we never saw it intensify I bet it was worse then we were shown and then just pile on being young and not knowing where to turn would be what most young people might have to tackle in their life. I just wish we had more strong visuals on the why he did it just for my personal acceptance of it but in life, when we do hear someone young committed suicide we never do know the full on truths behind the actions, so yea, I also think the less strongly supported content on the why makes the film more realistic on what goes down out there in life. The film feels a bit unsatisfying to me personally because I am the type that likes 'solid understanding of what I watch' in a film/series but also packed a huge emotional punch for me which is why I did love it and will watch again.

Me too. I like Ja and Tae, they seem basically comfortable together but with a more mature script and more workshops these 2 should be able to make a big splash together, but this story....eee, yikes

same. I was so excited with a highly mature content theme only to have this drown in a bunch of old tropes and dragged out miscomm......script writers tortured this series mercilessly. What it could have been...aww, such a wasted opportunity for a great intense and highly emotional mature series...but...they tanked it. Like you, I feel so bad for the actors!!

Holy......one word.....JUVENILE. Just watched 1-8 in a binge and it will be all I can do to not drop and finish this but I like the actors so that is the only reason I am holding on thru this mess. The excitement of the content (debt, forced into porn trade, Professor conducting illicit crime/SA etc) I thought would keep this story intense, fierce raw emptions and be focused on a very mature theme but we very quickly vaulted straight into old boring tropes and very dragged out miscomm/misunderstanding and the characters act like teens. Hiding all their emotions and thoughts when it was SO easy to say I like you and move forward, yet the script writers just tortured the pairings to death with useless silence when big moments came when one should speak up....wow. This is a toughie LOL but ...I loosely say I like it cause....I think the actors are doing well with extremely poorly written roles. So will hold best I can and only hope better scripts will come for the actors in this series!

Yea, it flipped a bit thru some sketchy dub con NC type scenes and got a bit more serious but it is lightening back up some. Near chapter 35 now. Loving the mains, both are nuts :) Iljo ain't no saint either even tho he takes the abuse, he wants it too actually so.....not sure how this is gonna go down but I am so into power reading thru it and have to say I am loving it now. Need a big redemption arc and maybe a chasing arc for Jeonghan to bring him to his knees. Gotta give Iljo some self worth and power in these dynamics I hope. (I feel ya. I am avid reader so I get drawn in at the first panel HAHA and rarely I drop a story, I'm addicted in my stories to go to the finale even if I have to grit teeth sometimes :) but one is more a reader or not so I understand your action on it. (Appreciate the fun chat!)

ya know I am 15 chapters into the manhwa and honestly, I am loving the slightly toxic Jeonghan and I get a feeling that Iljo isn't innocent at all kinda, have alot more to read but I feel this is more comedic in nature and the psychological tag it holds feels sarcastic to me. I am giggling thru it mostly with the weirdo convos that are going down between them. I take it the live action is going more serious and a darker nature maybe? I am gonna read this first then binge watch the series later and see how they adapted this but for me, I am into weird dynamics in my manhwa and I just feel comedy in it too?? IDK why tho but I do...lol....ahhh but I am liking the read so far.

oh cool, thanks for some insight. I love to compare the live action adaption against the written source. Little extra hobby I enjoy but sometimes it backfires when I love the manga so much & the series/film deviates too much or those raw emotions and charasteristics are lost too. I kinda like he comes off as more assertive and more in control as I would think that would strengthen the dynamics between mains in a live action right off the bat. Interesting, I will be reading soon.

Thanks, I will check it out soon. I love little things like this or the inconsistency of props and such in the scenes. Makes it fun :)

WOW my manga buddy just rec'd me to read this, they are 1/2 way thru the manhwa and ranted to me they are pulling their hair out cause of the miscommunication, evil ML and misunderstandings that are messing with the mains and my buddy is threatening to crash the laptop and burn down the website the manhwa has him so flustered. I just put this on my to read list and now I see it is a series already...I didn't know...can't wait, what first, read or watch? omgosh what to do, what to do, probably read first...the summary on the movie is the exact wording from the manhwa. I'm excited LOL

I second what ya said. The cruelty was attractive!! The chase was epic!!

6 episodes total. 1-4 aired, Gaga has ep 5 & 6 airing Dec 11 and done. AND WOW I didn't notice, I am going to rewatch again cause I want to catch that also :) Thanks, I like things like that lol, cool

Binge watched. WOW I didn't feel hardly anything in this series at all. Felt like I was watching a 1st yr high school series with teens. Gyeon, our ML is the only character I felt had any substance. I didn't vibe with any other character. Actors were good, not a doubt, everyone played their part but the only character with any big emotion was Gyeon and was written with some depth and enough current & backstory where I could connect him with an emotional bond to the MC. Story flow was awkward for me, and didn't make my feelings care for characters because things came in a backward or flashback way that just didn't track well. Lacking story and character buildup, this story was flatlined mostly for me. I felt like I didn't know any character other than Gyeon kinda. I liked it ok, got thru it, 1 time was nice cause I did see a great performance by Cha SeJin and I felt he really lifted the series for me.

S2 was outstanding against S1 for me.....but I felt let down by the finale. It fizzled. I still feel their elevated connection etc but I wanted way more focus on the mains and where they stand for long term etc. vs. (like another comment mentioned...it was a good acting class!) and I agree with that comment. I wished the script writers truly put the relationship between 2 people forefront vs career cause I wanted way more out of that last NC scene. Not explicit, I wanted way more emotional intensity and again, it fizzled for me. BUT I still love the growth in all the actors and stronger bonds between all in this S2. Like others, wanna see that next ep Daytime Dream, looks great.

I liked it in before in vertical and now it is re-edited and I am watching again. Still like it :) Fun little series. (I hope Black and White is Real will eventually get re-edited into series form, loving that vertical now too!)

Rewatch. Ending always gets me but I found the middle drama more depressing then the ending! But for me I am glad Handong didn't get his personal happy ending either so....but again, at poor Lan Yu's expense. I liked this story since it is so basic. No frills, no over the top fluff, just living life and how it goes down between the mains. Simple. I'll rewatch again later too, cause I just like Lan Yu.
