In general, it was a nice one, I liked it and it was different, I binge watched it. I did struggle a bit about Vegas/Pete though and would love to read people opinion on them, because to be fair, I still don't quite get the shift in Pete's feelings... Like, I really, really don't understand how that's possible and so quickly (yeah, I know it a series but I always have that annoying need to try and understand characters...) If you have a different opinion, please share, I'd love to read it ! :D
Ugh, I wanted to throw up when the guy said 'I hit you because I was afraid you don't love me'. How can they imagine…
Completely agree, then saying 'I was anxious', man, where're millions suffering from anxiety, do we abuse and beat people up ??? That scene was just awful, they tried to redeem him in the worst way possible...
A little disappointment.. The general theme of a woman living an unhappy marriage with an abusive man and meeting…
Like ? The ending ? 2 years later ? From what I understood, the main couple divorced, alright but she still completely helped him, I felt really weird about it... He beat her up several times, tried to r*pe her but she still went along with loans and stuff for him... two couples fixed their problems (Saya-Sota/Hisako-Baba), two went on with their affair so they've been cheating on their husband for other two years. Now for Noriko, I'm not sure but from what I understand she left her husband for the other guy, which, she was right. The one couple that reallllly disturbed me except from Sakura and her husband was Yuka and Minoru... What kind of woman... She creeped me out a lot, and actually, after her episode, I thought she had left her husband for her ex, but in the last episode, when she's pregnant she whispers that she doesn't know who's the father while laughing, so she stayed with him and kept cheating... Sooo much cheating, And I didn't feel like it portrayed cheating as a bad thing which made it even worse. Actually, I feel like none of the characters suffers from any consequences...
A little disappointment.. The general theme of a woman living an unhappy marriage with an abusive man and meeting another man reminded me of a movie I absolutely loved: 3-Iron. Well nothing felt the same. To be fair, I stopped at the synopsis, didn't read the rating not the tags, bad idea. I'm not a fan of sex scenes, so I skipped through them all, I found them uneeded. Now, these couples need to speak to each other, only two of all the couples portrayed actually communicated, only two tried to fix the problem, the others turned to cheating and simply went along...
It was okay. With the first two episodes, I was pretty focus, but pretty quickly my focus faded. I think Sora ended up being my favourite character. I don't know what it was to be fair, maybe I found it too long, although it was 10 episodes of 50min and I watched them in 1.5 speed. But something was missing. I also didn't really like the ending given to Shishio... I liked the informative side of the drama and such. But for the main story, I got bored many times...
I didn't realise I haven't posted a comment yet although I finished it the day it ended. It was such a nice surprise. I loved everything about this series... What I loved the most was that the relationship between two men was not the main focus of the story. Often, BLs seem to only focus on that, and often botching the rest of the story... This wasn't the case here... The two men just happened to fall in love.. And I really loved that, watching them reconsider their fighting methods, growing and maturing together. All the actors were incredible (and I really hope Gun will get awards for his portrayals). Not Me made my blood pressure rise, made me cry, made me angry. It was packed with emotions and I highly recommend it..
I liked this drama. I found the pace really good, there was not much music, which I really like. The characters running after perfection can be really relatable. I found that it expressed emotions quite well too. There were things that I wished we could have seen, like the characters actually standing up for themselves more, but other than that, I liked it.
From the synopsis, it sounds quite similar to He's Coming to Me (with Ohm and Singto), can anyone who've watched both tell me if they're in fact similar ? :)
Since I read and liked the manhwa, I found the drama to be rushed. It was too quick,. Although I liked the characters in the manhwa, watching the drama I rolled my eyes a lot. Maybe that's simply the kind of very fluffy romance I can only bear in written form...
Quick answers to the questions: 1. yes 2. yes 3. sad and happy + can be unhealthy (I'll add a short non spoiler…
3. It can be unhealthy as the 'love' the main character feels is more like a very strong obsession (I've experienced that feeling and I'd recognise it anywhere) and toward someone who definitely acts like an asshole to him. Not much fluff either to be fair. But definitely worthed it.
I liked it. It was nice, I gave it 7.5/10. I personally started reading the comic over a year ago and really loved it even though I stopped reading because of one perticular scene. I think the cast was really perfect and did their job really well, and I had the biggest crush on Ji Hye, she was so damn sweet and adorable, I just couldn't stop smiling when she showed up. And... Gosh, Yu Na won my heart too (and the fact she's also queer just made me super happy, queer women very lack representation and I'm always excited to see a fellow queer woman on the screen). Other than that, obviously it was not a very deep drama, not much stress in there so if you're like me and get easily anxious, even through drama/movies/series, you can go for it ! The chemistry was good too and it was nice to see the characters grow on each other and realising their feelings and coming to term with what they wanted and embracing it! Nice watch, after a few Korean BL disappointments, it felt nice and refreshing.
One of the main thing I loved about this drama is that it's probably one of the gender swap drama/Movie where the female who's pretending to be a man isn't forcing it. Eun Chan is just being herself and people just assumes she's a guy. She didn't have to create a whole new personality or anything. She isn't forcing onto the overly stereotyped "male behaviour", she's just being herself very naturally, I think that's what I loved about it so much.
I have OCD and for the most part this show has it completely right. LMK going through her house every night checking…
Thank you for your reply, I'm always interested in hearing/reading the opinion on a charcter or show from someone the said representation directly touched, so thank you! Representation are so important and that's such a nice thing when it's done properly so I'm glad that seems to be the case here!
I liked it. It was fun, maybe sometimes I'd have loved to see the mental illnesses portrayed more seriously, especially in the first couple episodes where I feel like they really pushed the comedy (which dropped fairly after, I liked that) I've dealt with mental disorders for about ten years now and was very envious of their therapist. Although since I've not experienced PTSD ot OCDs, I'd love to see the review from someone who has and have their view on the represation of traumas disorders/OCDs.
Sooo much cheating, And I didn't feel like it portrayed cheating as a bad thing which made it even worse. Actually, I feel like none of the characters suffers from any consequences...

1. yes

Nice watch, after a few Korean BL disappointments, it felt nice and refreshing.
