Loved it. A bit frustrating in parts but also has some satisfactory moments that offset the other.

A bit frustrating. Characters are not very smart; the resolutions seem to come slow, but I think it is because it is very repetitive and not a lot of intellect and creativity is used to analyze scenarios. That makes it feel drawn out. It is a shame because they have the right premise and the actors are likeable. I will put it on hold for now and maybe watch a little bit, here and there.

Yeah, not the time for sadness. Will put it on the backburner for now, I have a feeling I will love this though.

From what I have read, without spoilers .... Is it very sad?

Ok, I am on EP 3, and I think I need to stop watching now. I have read the comments, and I do not think I am strong enough .... I am going to find my 'happy place' show.

The actors were very good; you were able to feel their characters. You knew who they were, and how they fit the roles that were given to them. The second leads were engaging and likeable. It means that it was written well and directed well.

I understand there was a deeper meaning within this show and some might find it hard to empathize with a pretty FL who is supposed to be 'not good looking' but I think the shows message gets through ... attractiveness is a feeling, action, mindset, while being good looking is a very visual thing and not necessarily 'attractive'.

I really felt for the ML and the mental torture he was put through; they did make light of that, but the story was about being attracted to the FL, the way she was and the fact that he fell in love with HER. I think it also showed the MLs true character. He was intelligent and he had the ability to rationalize so he was able to overcome and realize his feelings were for the FL all a long and not the packages that he saw ... so his ability to see loss for gain fits this character .... If that makes sense.

The coloring was a little bland and the chemistry was a little flat.
I also do not like the 'getting married and lives happily ever after' ending that most shows force on us. Audiences are not stupid; we have the ability to end a story ourselves using our brains.
There is no explanation about the main plot point and leaves us hanging, some might not like that but for me it was OK. It did not make or break this show

All in all, I like this show, it's fun, and it also has Tan Jian Ci, which is an added bonus ;)

On a side note ....
Who has a dart board right next to a glass door ...
As someone who has OCD ... OMG @the school library/archives :O

I found this funny. I accidentally laughed my way through this show. This is the 2nd time I have watched it, and I forgot how funny it was ......

Amazing acting.

I really enjoyed this show. The actors and storyline kept my interest. It was good quality and pace. Not really big on romance but I thought the friendships were nice to watch.

I did not find it re-watchable (I watched it a long time ago and tried to watch it again today). I already knew what was going to happen, and it was frustrating to wait for a resolution. Great the first time though.

I enjoyed the start of this show. I found it interesting. The characters were pretty good, and I am glad they did not push romance when it was not needed. I think it would have been better at 8 episodes. I struggled to finish this from the halfway mark. It was watchable and as I said, the start was very good.

Heartbreakingly beautiful. Watched many. many times. My thoughts below.

The 2 MLs had so much chemistry, their friendship/brotherhood/romance was mature yet playful, deep and meaningful.

The series was well paced, and resolutions came quickly.

The actors were all very interesting. The depth the characters showed was enough to keep your interest but not bore you.

Other than the obvious (integral part of the story line) there were no frustrating elements. Nothing worse than forced angst.

The OST was well placed, and the comedy was icing on the cake.

I really enjoyed this show. Action and intrigue.

I am at episode 11 and came to the comments to ... have a break I guess.

I refuse to have another unfinished show that haunts me .... so..... I managed to finish it on 2x speed and the 10 sec fast forward button ... even that was a hard push though.

Online bullying is getting out of hand. If there is anyone on here or on other platforms who are accusing someone, without proof, it is slander or cyber bullying. There is no need to argue or try to reason, just report them for spreading false information and block. Every time you comment on their posts or watch their videos you are feeding into their attention seeking behavior and they are able to spread like a disease. If there are millions of supporters, then there should be millions of reports to remove these people and their content. You don't have to like someone, and you can have your opinions in private, but you cannot spread information without proof. If you block them, you can no longer see their posts, and you don't have to listen to their nonsense ;)

Kim Soo Hyun is an actor I have watched many times. I have no comment on their personal life as I do not know them, but I enjoy their acting style and visually he is nice to watch.

Loved it. Similar 'feel' to Lovely Runner but in this series, the characters were written more mature, and it had a more series tone. The last 3 ep pushed this down to a 9 for me. I think this is also re-watchable. Maybe better than Lovely Runner (the FL in Lovely Runner was supposed to be 34) ... will have to re-watch at some point to know for sure.

I am currently watching A Time Called You and it has a similar feeling to Lovely Runner. I have seen hundreds of shows ... so many that I forgot some of them ... I started adding them on here to keep a list ... and I added them as I remember them.

From what others have said, Twinkling Watermelon was very good. I am rewatching While You Were Sleeping and now, I remember why I liked it. I mostly watch CDramas but I find modern Kdramas are very good. If you watch Queen of Tears ..., do it when you are happy ... not sad ;) I mistakenly watched it because a nurse suggested it to me .... I told her off the next time I saw her haha.

I'm terrible at recommending shows BUT .... You have now set me on a path, and I am all in lol.
I have not watched a lot of Kdramas but these shows have been mentioned a lot and may be worth a watch? You may have seen them .... They seem very popular ... if not, we can jump in together and see what we both think.

Twinkling Watermelon
A Time Called You (2023)
Destined with You (2023)
While You Were Sleeping (2017)

I have seen and loved this show many, many times and I personally feel that this show is similar. Heart breaking, funny; ML is somewhat similar.
Queen of tears

Sweet cute romcoms that I have seen
Hidden Love (2023) CDrama

I am off to watch ... While You Were Sleeping
(hahaha I am 5 seconds in, and I think I have already watched this and forgot. I am going to watch it again) Pretty sure I really liked it too.
