I liked the concept, the acting of the leads, the little community they have. The psychologist is mostly used as a device to get the story going rather than have any effective influence in both leads’ lives, which is probably closer to how reality works.

I like that the trio ajumas, though they can be intrusive and judgmental, are also self reflective and show growth.

What I’m mostly not a fan of is how the last episode went, especially the last 10 minutes, the drama was all needless. Overall enjoyable :)

Hmm… it’s sweet and all but nothing special and a lot of the events feel forced. Romance is unconvincing especially that of the main lead, he barely had any chemistry with his “love interest”.

I have to say the kid playing Akira, while can be plain in expressing himself in some scenes, really nailed the emotional ones it’s actually sad.

Overall cute watch but nothing memorable.

I never got the point of “3 peace” though.

hahahaha exactly my thoughts

I get especially when someone a child gets in the picture and they would want to be part of their life. I agree with you reality gets complicated and people shouldn’t be judged by the one flaw, but at the same time when it comes to affairs I do see myself ever be able to trust someone to be in my circle if I knew they were part of an affair. I wouldn’t empathize with them when I know they caused someone pain like that.

Anyways thanks for sharing, our experiences shape our way of thinking which makes it interesting to discuss those topics

But she saw how painful it was for her mom, how could she do the same? I find her despicable. I hate the excuse “it’s reality””it’s human”. Showing affairs is one thing, normalizing them that’s different. There is no excuses for wrong behaviour. The most human thing is the destructive pain of being cheated on!

Such a fun watch. I get the frustration people feel especially about Akira’s character but this was her flaw that she needed to address. It’s just not easy or possible to immediately change, it takes steps, baby steps.

I find most of the characters realistic. Akira rather takes on everything than bother others and delegate, her boyfriend Kyoya is a good man, but his main flaw is that he’s a coward. Shuri is an entitled leach yes, but she’s also someone very broken and is in need of some tough love to move forward. Kosei… he’s really toxic and would rather be seen as the bad guy than be vulnerable.

I did find issue with Kureha’s character. She was the only character I didn’t find realistic. It wasn’t lifestyle but the fact she doesn’t have consideration for others. My problem here is that it’s never seen as a problem in the drama. I like the built up anticipation of who her husband is throughout the drama though.

My favourite character is Kyoya’s mom. She’s a sweetheart and heals all around her. I find it was her presence in Akira’s life that gave Akira the courage to change.

Overall this drama is all about the conversations and being honest to oneself. It was fun and refreshing to watch.

I agree. I feel like he never opened up to anyone

Entertaining watch, enjoyable characters with fun interactions though lacked a bit of depth, obstacles being solved rather quickly without being dragged out (maybe too quickly but I’m okay with that) in an otherwise unrealistic setting.
I found the violence a bit much and not needed other than to show off how much was spent on this drama.

However it’s good for a fun watch on a stressful day so I’d watch if ever there’s a second season.

While I agree with every point you make, I still enjoyed watching it. But yeah it’s as you said, none of the characters had much depth beyond what we initially get but their interactions are fun. That being said, Dr. Baek seemed to be the only doctor capable of surgery or deal with trauma, like how did this hospital function before?

i tried on multiple occasions couldn’t get passed the first episode so I had to accept it’s not for me a give up

can you provide the link or at least the title on mydramalist I can’t find those titles when I click on the screen writer

for me most of Kimura Takuya’s dramas were always available because they were popular with the international community early on. Although… I appreciate having Beautiful Life on Netflix and hoping Love generation gets there because it was always hard to find subbed. How do I contradict myself this fast is beyond me 😆

Anyways I’d like to see dramas of actors that were in their prime in the 30s even if they got older by the time the international community started watching Asian dramas

I wouldn’t call it getting along. I feel like they’re manipulating him disregarding him. He’s too nice and they are taking advantage of his abilities

Yeah nowadays free streaming sites are so annoying their adds are uncontrollable like I can’t even pause any clicks brings another page so I’m thankful for those dramas being available on legal sites. I especially appreciate the adding of Japanese dramas from the 90s and early 2000s so I don’t complain but I can confirm, fansubbers do a much better job.

And yes in the past I used to download, get the subtitles and so on but that was I time I had the times and brains to do that. Now I look for convenience haha

Doesn’t break any height, not realistic either but overall a moving story about being good despite how the world treats you. The acting was great but no wonder with the casting even though the characters didn’t have many dimensions. It was the standard good vs evil. Directing was pretty effective and cinematography was beautiful.

This was an old show though lol

Funny I just finished a movie on Netflix Faceless and when they were saying the age of the main character I’m pretty sure they said ni-ju-ni-sai (22 yo) but the subtitles said 21

1 episode in and currently my favourite show that I look most forward to watch

the uproar for When the Phone Rings is because of the political implications it carries, but I have caught a couple of mistranslations. like someone was saying march 6 but they translate to December 6 (pretty random)

This drama was pure fun :D I loved all the characters! They slowly grow on you. The cases quality vary each episodes, but the entertainment value was always there. The events don't always make sense per se, but i do find the characters being logical and owning up to their actions and mistakes how adults should.

Now I need to hunt down all sequel moves and specials, if they are available because I definitely am not done with it and want more. Netflix is being good at providing older doramas but so far they suck at including any sequels unless it's produced by netflix or is a new drama.

I didn’t even feel like a last episode. Was it cancelled last minute?
