I'm curious if you finished it and what are your thoughts now regarding the FL. I can't really remember what I…
I finished it.. Yes I later understood the FL only from a cultural POV..Outside Korea or Asia in general,when grown ups make decisions, they are respected by either parents or those concerned.
Totally agree 👍. My only issue is that our leads don't look radically different in some flashback scenes so…
Yes.. especially the FL..but I think the ML's abilities to switch his personality back and forth saved the day..The boy got range,I hope he doesn't get sucked in the wanxia world and loose that fluidity (Am hating,I know)
Well said 👏 I went in with zero expectations and somehow ended up loving it, no skipping, no dragging my feet, just fully locked in.
For me the flashbacks felt easy, the time jump was shown at the beginning of the scene and they actually were a whole story not just memories.At one point I caught myself thinking, “we could literally just stay in 2016–17 and I’d be perfectly fine,”
I’m actually impressed with myself for getting through 30 episodes without that usual “why is this so long?” panic. Also… I’ve got my eye on Mr. Daniel Zhou For his age, he really delivered.
An understanding dad/mom in C-Drama/K-drama is rare than the blood moon..Hahaha,I understand it's been a long…
They are so few I can't even pin point one other then Go Ahead.. I think "Hidden Love" parents were also nicer, if I remember how dramatic the leads relationship would have turned eyes
everybody praised the drama for its romance lol. it’s finally some mature one without fishy kisses and weird…
I heard about City Hunter,around the same time I watched Healer..but I didn't get to it, I might check it out, I don't mind classics. Same with Happiness but the zombie trope is not my cup of chai so I skipped that..Thank you for your recommendation
Oh I remember the FL in Fake it Till you make it.. She is definitely a talent to estch..Am happy she gets a leading role in modern drama with my new found ML Daniel Zhou..I can feel the chemistry already...Of course Ke Chun will streer the pot..and the forever naughty Fu Wei Jun...What a cast
SNIPER BUTTERFLY -2025, Date Completed: April, 2026
Great acting from Daniel Zhou.. wasn't expecting his range..He delivered. Genre: manageable noona romance Chemistry: 28/10 Skinship:10/10 Insufferable parents: Mid-level Office bla bla bla : Minimal ( To the end I didn't know what the ML did that's how less it was) Background story 9/10
I have one big issues with cxx: his lack of charisma. many mid actors achieve peak popularity by making up for…
I loved him in Fall In Love, he carried a whole drama on his shoulders with charisma and aura .I have seen 5 of his other work but I think it depends on the role .When he is the cold CEO, he really is.. I didn't like Love Between Lines, mainly because of the virtual arch but you might be right .the FL overpowered him for sure
I feel like I have known him since 2021's Fall in Love and he was definitely joyfull and playful back then .His new roles are more calmer and deeper.. 30s will do that to you,then 40s become those years where you are just happy to be here.. I hope in all the stages he goes through, he remains happy and aware that he is loved no matter what he decides to do
I genuinely can’t imagine sitting through all of that on screen, my brain just experienced a mild shockwave trying to process it 😂 So for the sake of my own sanity (and entertainment), I’ll go with something a little closer to human… "a general / trained assassin". Sending this to an army HR guy I know, pretty sure no one’s ever pitched that combo before.
One Spring Night,2019 Watch timeline: April,2026 Update: 5 episodes.
I’ve been putting this drama off for a long long time, waiting for the perfect mood to sit through all that mellow emotional chaos. And listen, it’s no secret, I love Jung Hae In. That man does not act halfway. He commits his entire soul, body, and probably his sleep schedule into every role.And yes I watched Something In The Rain also long long ago.
But now I’m on episode 5 and… whew. The eye-rolling? Olympic level at this point. Because why, why, is the FL written like her sole purpose in life is to emotionally torture this man? How hard is it to choose? Between two people. Between sadness and happiness. Between the past and the future. At some point, you just have to pick something. Right now I’m literally yelling at my screen: “Sis, you cannot have your cake and eat it too!!”
I will be back
UPDATE. Completed: April 2026
I remember going on a bit of an angry rant after the first five episodes, mostly because of the female lead’s indecisiveness. But as the story progressed, I started to see things differently. Sometimes we watch dramas through our own cultural lens, and that can limit how we interpret characters’ choices. In many Asian cultures, there’s a strong sense of filial responsibility, family ties run deep, and relationships are often closely intertwined with them. It’s not always as simple as cutting things off and moving on.
Also, let’s be honest, that tension is part of what keeps a 16-episode drama going.Though am glad she put her foot on the ground from day one and never wavered no matter how much tantrums around her.
In the end, this is a classic, and I really don’t have much to complain about. It easily earns an 8.6 from me. And of course, my favorite director, Ahn Pan Seok, can do no wrong in my eyes.
