I hope so too but I'm glad he did not forgive her right away. Like she said, he could've done the same but he stopped himself. I hope she gets stronger and we see her work hard to get her family back.

True in the novel she's executed at the end of the first volume. Her son comes back to avenge her in later volumes. However I knew she was coming back :P

I just remember this time when you were complaining about your friend making you watch shojo anime :P you are right though it is a good stress reliever.

It is kinda funny coming from someone who can't stand shojo. Either way good job you did great covering how shojo manga adaptations go. I think the main problem she manga adaptation into movies is time constraint. You'd have to gloss over details and even side characters and side stories that make the manga more interesting. There are also some over the top characters that we can accept easily in a manga but not as real people, especially when the acting doesn't hold up. For that reason i usually don't watch the live adaptation of my favourite manga :P

Thx glad you liked the review!! It sure turned out longer than I expected it to :P

Well being like 100 episode I guess I'd be more pissed at crazy love because you have to endure the evil longer :P But I totally get when the result of what happens to the bad guy is not satisfying at all.

I hated how the ended the ex best friend in 49 days with "but she did truly love me". Yea planning on breaking the heart and soul of your best friend by taking her boyfriend and her dad's money because you envied her is a valid reason! That she wasn't punished is one thing but the fact that the heroin was like "she truly loved me" I just couldn't stand it!!

I love the way you put it "your personal opinion will always be in the first place". That couldn't be any truer. I really did enjoy the twists and turn in the jdorama version but from your description, I feel that this version is like mixing the original Liar Game story with The Hunger Games :P but like you said it takes some guts to do this kind of change. Now I'm intrigued I really need to make some time for myself to watch this! I've watch the Japanese version a long ago so I don't remember all the details of the games and strategies used which can come to my advantage in watching this one ;)

XD happy that you liked it!! Even me while writing this I felt like going back to watching him :P

I wasn't impressed with him here but as of episode 7 I found that he took quite a turn and doing a good job and be in character instead of, as you called it 'Yonghwa trying to act' I don't know if it's just that I got used to him but at this point I'm enjoying him and his character as much as the prince and Seung Po

That was the one thing I was hoping for as well :D

Well it's the first season airing we still don't know when the next ones will air we just know the team planned 3 seasons and that's the first of 3. It'll probably have a different mdl pages

They planned 3 seasons for it

THX!! I've been waiting for something like that to get to know more about that director :D

I don't know I didn't feel that much connection with Maria's character and couldn't empathize with her at all.

I think despite what she did, the order he gave was too harsh for his own heart. He was still very young and emotionally attached.

I agree!! I think from episode 7, I thought either I got used to Dal Hyang as is or Yong hwa got more comfortable and better in his role. And I agree episode 6 tweaked my interest again and episode 7 was just really good and so was the follow up ;) Also I think if you like the original story you'll find yourself enjoying it. That is the case for me :)

He's doing an awesome job as oda nobunaga

I don't think it can beat Nodame but the promotional material gave me a good impression of this one and the most of the cast seems to have the talent to pull it off. We'll have to wait and see ;)

You basically took all my feelings about this drama and put it in that review, but more clearly illustrated. Wakamono-tachi might've got 8.5 but that review gets 10 from me :D
