Also for those commenting - 'Why so negative?' please stop. This 'good vibes only' trope is a cop-out from dealing…
I agree about this show and any other drama in this site. This is not a fanclub! Even if it were you are allowed to have a opnion! (I'm like this one though. =D).
I'm not usually into high school dramas (I'm way too old for them) but I have watched both seasons of original…
HYD was my first drama ever and still holds a special place in my heart. Still think that they didn't focus on the social criticism that the manga has, but even so is very well done. Japan could have done a remake, kind of aged a lot, it's funny see the phones of 2005 and I never find an episode with actual good quality, it's all pixels.
I think with your review I finally understand what was annoying me about this show. While I was watching I kept thinking "I should be loving! Why am I not loving this?!". I still think is one of the best written LGBT shows I've seen, but damn, I was frustrated and for some reason tired. I am gay, but honest, I never have much trouble accepting myself, maybe was because of this, that I couldn't relate to Teh, and his terrible decisions.I tought that the episodes were long and find overwall very depressing. And you are right about the ugly crying. Even so, I still find it very well made. So a lot of contradict feelings, like my comment itself. Anyway great review. I'm not even sure if what I said made any sense. This show made me confused.
After watching this episode I feel like the retelling of the Tin&Can story makes ZERO sense. I like their retold…
Well I don't know if you readed the books. TinCan has relevance in the end of the first book and the beggining of the second. They kind of just desapear after the main conflit with Tin's brother is finished. So their history is not that long. The whole thing with Pete going abroad is in the last two chapters of the last book. The autor should just created more history if she wanted a full series with them as mains, or just made a special.
Am I the only one that think that ALL characters dress in a way kind of similar? Too much similar! Clothes are one of the ways to show personality, but seems like everyone is shopping in the same store. I don't know maybe is just me and my rainbow based wardrobe.
I genuinely appreciate how serious it is. Almost all bls I watch tend to have really bad comedy timing. It's good to see something more dramatic for a change.
I really hope they try to follow the manga Hana Yori Dango, instead of the others adaptations, but I already know that will not be the case. But I can dream right?
I love the fact that they are using family dinamics that in most kdramas the female lead have, and instead giving it to the male lead. It's refreshing in a weird way.
What can I say? I'm a basic person, I like simple things.
