The original Japanese is better in my opinion. This one is a bit more sensationalist (some new storylines were introduced to add drama), the original is more simple, pure and heart wrenching.
While I was reading the webtoon a few days ago, I was literally thinking how good this would be if they turned it into a drama! So excited that it already happenend! (and how did I miss that??)
I've watched up until ep 4 and I'm not sure whether I want to keep watching because I have an issue with (what may be) the main premise. But since I'm not sure if that's the way they're going, I would really appreciate it if someone who has completed it can answer me if this is the way they're going or not. :) So it seems like the drama starts with the idea that "What if you could isolate the dna that makes people psychopaths, and could know if a child will become one later" This idea is basically telling us that being a psychopath is pure "nature" and no "nurture", this already irritates. But the premise I'm most worried about is that they seem to be saying "If the father is a psychopath, the child will be too". So the child of Seo Jun will be a psychopath, and the child of the other guy with the psychopath gene who was a very good person will also be a very good person. Can someone tell me of this is accurate? I really hope it's not, because if it is, I'm not sure I want to continue this drama... ^^;
i tried so hard to keep watching but i had to drop it eventually, its too slow-paced for me :/
Have you watched past the car crash? For me it was really draggy until that point, but after that the story and psychologies of the characters got so much more interesting! So if you didn't get to that point yet, I would give it another go! The 2nd half is so much better!
Ah!! that was the reason! I must have missed it in one of the episodes... still, it would have been nice if they…
Uhuh, I would've liked to know more about Peach. I guess they didn't include any of that because of travel restrictioms, but it would've been nice to sew more of Peach's life even if it wasn't actually filmed in Phuket.
Great review! I agree with you on most things why it was just good but didn't reach its full potential... Btw, I just wanted to let you know the reason Yoon Oh went to Phuket was because he failed his CSAT the third time and was so upset he wanted to run away/escape. ;)
I don't think Fahrenheit's boyfriend existed bro. Wasn't the whole point was he was making everything up, right?…
I believe with chuunibyou (2nd grade syndrome) Jun meant he was just a teenager acting out because of puberty. The boyfriend did exist because they went to his grave to put the cd there.
Oh nooo! I was counting on 8 eps like last season... There was sooo much stuff I hoped they would show us behind the scenes of... :( How will I ever get over this drama, seriously....
Ok i might just rant a little..so Why was it hinted in the 1st & 2nd episode that Jai was into oh-Aew & then outta…
Hey! I didn't get the feeling they were hinting Jai being interested in Oh-Aew. Which specific moments are you talking about?
Btw, I'm actually really happy with the outcome. The dialogue felt really well thought-out. Both character's struggled felt really relatable to me. Like Oh-Aew I've been in the position where I felt like someone might not be good for me. However I would still want to forgive them and give them the benefit of the doubt. As long as problems seem fixable (for instance through better communication) and they respect me, I would be open to get back together. I feel that the real problem beyond Teh's cheating was how they were drifting apart and didn't communicate well. Teh wasn't open to Oh-Aew growing into himself and changing. I think that in the end, by spending some time apart, he learnt to respect Oh-Aew's decisions and changes instead of just saying he did even though he still resented the changes deep down. I especially love how Oh-Aew said he would get back toghether with Teh but without impossible promises (like the title implies) and that they would communicate and overcome their problems together instead.
Wow, great article! It all makes sense reading this, and I think deep down we all knew it would, but even so it's shocking how sexist assumptions wallow through in kdramas... Now I need some great dramas that do the opposite to cleanse my palate again. Recommendations anyone?
I will always remember this drama for Yeo Jin Goo's phenomenal performance as both the king and clown (Hope to see him play more roles like these) but the instrumental OST is actually great too! I've been listening to it while studying for months now, and I really enjoy it!
Not all episodes seem to work unfortunately... I'm still looking for episode 3 myself :')
