Love movies

Corny is the right word. Thanks!

I agree, I liked the Korean version so much better. Loved the ending - this C version is too soft pedaled. So sweet, so polite. The last two episodes were blah!

I kind of agree with you - the last two episodes did not reach the heights that it should have reached. It was filled with sweetness and light but oh so polite. Jasper is one of my most favorite actors but I've seen him in much better roles.

I agree with you - Ester can take both roles: bubbly and serious when needed. I'm really enjoying this drama series - and your points are really well made. Thank you!

Thank you Azura! I will look at your list. Actually you might think me way off but my favorite Asian movie is Burning. I'll make a list too! Yep, Burning!

No it is not a waste of time. Look this is not a $$$$ budget film, like say Vincenzo etc but in its simplicity and lack of money, it got right straight to the point!!!!

It is short and sweet! Just finished watching the 12 episodes. Yes, low budget in every respect but it was very nice to watch. No evil people trying to destroy their relationship, only one supporting couple, the leading couple solved most of their initial issues with common sense, no unnecessary hospital scenes, no amnesia, and no big white trucks running over people. Unlike the 50-100 episodes of some Chinese dramas, the writers were able to grasp the love, issues, family in 12 episodes. Congratulations!

Funny as an American, I never watched Asian movies or dramas. Netflix started me on this path and I have never gone back to American films. Even my husband watched Vincenzo and Come Crashing Down on you but so far, I'm the lone Asian file watcher among my friends etc. Probably we should be friends on MDL to share more info on Asian films!!!

I looked at it, wow! quite a list. I'll have to improve mine - thanks for sharing!

I just finished watching it, at first I didn't really like it because the game simulations were not of interest to me so I skipped most of the simulation parts.
However, having said that, the later episodes don't have the games and that is when the story begins.
Lin Yi is excellent as he was in Put Your Head on my shoulder. His acting ability is far beyond his years. Lulu Xu was also very good and became more convincing as we get into the story.
For those of you that are turned off by the beginning episodes, keep going and you will get rewarded for watching it until the end. I would give it a 9. I watched it on IQ.com.
The romance between the ML and FL was convincing and touching!

I created the notes but and sort of rated them but I need to update the notes and the ratings. You can do the same on my list too. Thank you Azura.

Someday I'll make a list of what I liked and didn't like That takes time. Yep, Sunshine of my life was really good, make watch it again....! Thanks Azura.

However, I really liked Sunshine of my Life!

Han is executive producer of this series so wouldn't he have some control over it? He was also EP of "If Paris, Downcast", which was another flop in my opinion. One of the best Chinese actors of course!

I fully agree with you. Far more realistic than the K/C dramas, or at least most of them.

I like it much better than the Korean version, however there is not much tension - lots of sweet, mushy stuff and such. The problem with the Korean version, it took too much time for the Fl to make up her mind and the end was not very satisfying. Blunt end and I hope this version doesn't follow. Jasper Liu is as excellent as usual. FL's hair style is a bit childish but she is wise too.

Have you watched "Forest" and "Man to Man" with Park Hae Jin? Forest was one of my favorites. Man to Man is not boring, at least for me.

It's been awhile that I've watched it, I think there is a love triangle and he is definitely the ML. It goes partly back to the 30's when Japan had invaded Korea. That historical part was a bit too much but anyway, it was special. Yes, there is a romcom part of it but mostly the magic of the typewriter and the historical part of it but the romance is not big but it's there! I would watch it for sure.

He is everything you say he is! On Viki.com, watch him on "Secret Love Affair" Wow-wow-eee! The tension was unbearable. The classical music was wonderful. I haven't been able to watch the end because I wanted to see a happy ending so I'm waiting for the guts to watch the end. He's also special in "Chicago Typewriter". Interesting to read about him too.

I can't even get my husband and daughter to watch it, so depressing - It is the best!
