I really love your thoughts on the episode. I thought it was very interesting for a first episode with so many…
Aw, thank you! I’m also really looking forward to what happens next, hopefully it will remain solid. I’ll probably share my thoughts tomorrow too because I don’t have much else to do with my time nowadays lol.
I like the feel of this show. The clay animation was wonderful. It was a very pleasant surprise, especially after a week of somewhat underwhelming releases. I know that anti-social personality disorder manifests in many different ways, and it’s one of the harder ones to both describe in a standardised manner and also portray.
One thing I think I remember hearing is there is often points of temporary obsession with something, so the knife in the restaurant, when the new object of obsession, the ml appeared, she threw away the previous object of interest. It was a nice symbolism. Also in general she seems to have an obsession with sharp objects lol. I wonder if she has a collection, but she probably gets rid of anything she gets bored of.
I also like how she shows emotion. She isn’t a raging jerk, even though she kinda is lol, she adheres to her own moral code, even if it doesn’t align with what is considered socially acceptable. This makes her more likeable than a completely unpredictable character, at least in a romantic show context.
It also seems like through her writing she’s releasing her own inner feelings, which is interesting.
I think butterflies in Korean culture symbolise death/past lives. But not sure what they mean in this context. It’s an interesting plot point as well.
All in all very happy, hope it continues to remain good! I need a win for 2020 lol. Just one. Please. I’m begging here.
I hope they fix the character with the dread locks. I hope they fix a lot tbh. Hopefully this is being written in real time so the writer has a chance to react to valid feedback. I’m not that offended, but it’s 2020 and just like please. Being based on an ecchi webtoon it’s no surprise a lot of stuff is suspect. The amount of headassery in those type of comics makes me wonder why they even chose to adapt one for the considerably conservative small screen in Korea. Like, of the genres most likely to tick a great deal of wack boxes, that genre is probably number one.
It was as enjoyable as any other basic kdrama but so far it’s left a bad taste in my mouth. To add insult to injury, that wig is bloody awful. I bet there’s probably gonna be a big scene where he “becomes clean/acceptable” and miraculously gets 2 shades lighter and cuts his hair.
Disappointing. I really enjoy both main actors. I’ll give episode 2 another shot maybe but meh. The female lead is also kinda...hm.
I know I’m being petty but something about his hair in the promo pics makes me laugh lol. I liked his acting in my huckleberry friend though so looking forward to this.
In the manga, who is she together with? Please add spoiler.
Just based on the cover for volume 9-10 of the manga, looks like she ends up with the housekeeper. But could be a wrong. https://www.cmoa.jp/title/111352/ Here is the link I saw them at.
Edit: yeah, did some more searching and based on some rough translating of blog posts, they get married in the end.
Oh, that I can’t say! It’s definitely been a couple of years if not more, and the artwork was pretty generic shoujo. If I ever find it again I will reply to this comment though. Sorry. ):
I like this movie and the lesson that gave to us ___ THE BEST WAY FOR SOMEONE WHO IS BEING BULLIED IS JUST DON'T…
Yeah, a drama that tackled this issue in a similar fashion and didn’t focus on some dumb thing like “love solves all” would be nice. There are some out there but not as gritty, especially in depictions of assault and poverty. Dramas tend to be lighter.
I actually cried when he committed suicide. I like MHS'. I even cried when he won as Best Director in Cannes Film…
I need to rewatch him winning. But yes, he’s a very well acted and written character in an otherwise average(ish) chaebol revenge drama. I like how they didn’t shy away from making him the killer (albeit accidentally) and having him kill him self.
Lowkey he got revenge for that dog lol. Also, while predictable, wonderfully movie. Though the main plot was predictable some finer details actually came as a surprise.
Does anyone have a similar type of movie with a solidly happy ending? My heart has been ripped out too much recently lol. I like the ending, I think it’s realistic, happy actually, but man does it break my heart. I need some angst with a fully fluffy ending.
Those facial expressions near the end just broke me all the way open, oh my god. That end credit scene i was so grateful for. I’m glad they got their happy ending, even if it took time. And the actress’s English is wonderful.
I’m looking forward to this! But funnily enough, I find the leads look related almost, at least to me. Not exactly alike but similar features and a certain vibe I guess? Still, interesting plot and good cast. Hopefully in action this plot won’t disappoint.
We've been knew that the end game couple was the chef with the PD, but the other guy is a main lead too and they…
Ah, I see. I heard about the club incidents but I didn’t know they were lgbt clubs. This is very upsetting, I hope things calm down and Korea can grow more accepting in their communities. I also hope that the character is still kept in the plot and given the importance and representation he deserves. It’s unfair that an actor and character that did nothing wrong are being affected by bigots whereas people who committed legitimate crimes can still be on airing shows somehow.
After a few episodes I realized I was only invested in the second couple, literally skipped only to watch their parts or anything that seemed crucial to the plot. That being said that’s my personal opinion and all the actors do their job really well, it’s a plot issue for me. Cha Hyun and Ji Hwan Just had a much more compelling story and chemistry to me. As for the overencroaching plot line that was ok for a while but stop being interesting after episode 5 or so. A pity.
