I'm watching this drama on Netflix and I'm on episode 11. I'll watch it until the end because I'm not watching…
I completely agree with you! I got stuck at episode 12 (watched eps 1-11 almost in one go). I am now forcing myself to continue but apart from the factors you've named above, I feel like the drama should have ended after episode 11. The last episodes (or at least eps 12 and 13) are just plain boring.
This is the first time that I am watching a tomb-raiding-themed drama and it was quite interesting in the beginning. But is it just me or is the plot getting more boring and a bit repetitive? I am currently watching ep 39 and, honestly, I want to drop this drama. It starts feeling like a waste of time, which I regret tbh. The actors and the roles started off so well and I feel like their characters are getting weaker. I am now just watching for romance and bromance, which is also receiving less attention. I just watched a 10-minute dialogue between the villains (it continues to different scenes with the same or other villains - for another 10 minutes) and I couldn't care less. I feel like they could have done better because the plot itself seems interesting and the actors are not bad either.
The reason why I can force myself to cry is by thinking of a movie where the dog dies. I just can't. I am never ready for a dog dying. So the film is now on my "not interested" list
The beginning was incredibly cringy for me. It felt like a fight against me feeling embarrassed for the female…
For a sec, I thought that we would be back to the super obsessive cringy behaviour. I believe trust is vital in a relationship; however, I don't think I would be super happy if my boyfriend were on a conference with a girl resembling his dead girlfriend (I know it's her sister but he never met her). But I enjoyed their time in Osaka. HOWEVER, wtf is the sister on about???? She has fallen in love with her older sister's boyfriend so quickly?? And then using his current girlfriend's insecurity and decency to go behind her back?? What a snake!! Nevertheless, Sakura should have talked with Tendo about that. Communication is key. Kisugi obviously had to come to the rescue. I don't get him. He wants his friend to find happiness but then approaches the girl that Tendo likes (a girl who loves Tendo)... Aren't they supposed to be friends? I hope I don't have any friends like that. If so, they are more than welcome to remove themselves from my life.
The beginning was incredibly cringy for me. It felt like a fight against me feeling embarrassed for the female lead. But eventually, I got over it (I still felt uncomfortable watching some scenes). The FL starts as someone who is incredibly obsessed with ML (in real life this would creep everyone out). The obsession leads to her working in the same field as ML and eventually doing everything she can to be with him. I am very proud of choosing what I believe in and it took me a second to realise that FL is doing the same. Our visions are just vastly different. I respect her for sticking up for herself as she doesn't let ML just walk over her. I also respect ML. However, please fix his hairstyle (it was horrible lol). What I do criticise is how quickly ML developed feelings. I didn't understand when his dislike of her developed into warmth. Also, I understand everyone at the workplace who was annoyed at FL. She made so many mistakes and some just excused it with how cute she is and how she is fighting for ML. However, I would want someone reliable next to me. Nevertheless, she is still in training and people should teach her. And she eventually started to value her job and her position and fought for it. I respect that. Also, in the beginning, I needed to be in a mood where I forgive cringy moments and embarrassment. However, after ep 5 I was able to watch it normally.
I'm seeing good reviews but I'm still kinda undecided to see it. Should I wait or watch it on going?
I absolutely love it! watched 10 eps so far and for the first time I am getting all giggly and kicking my feet in the air because the tension is sooooo good and they are so cute. You should deffo watch it!
I absolutely hate when male leads discuss/argue about FL as if she is a trophy or a thing. Like: "give up, I am better for her" etc., completely ignoring that FL has a say in who she'd take as a boyfriend and that her feelings cannot be manipulated by a 'piss contest' of who is better. It doesn't really play a role in this drama, apart from short instances. But I absolutely hate it. Just needed to rant about it.
I thought the drama must be ongoing because I have finished episode 22 and ... that's it? In ep 20 I thought that the grand prix must be the finale but what in the non-existent ending is this? You can't even call it an open ending because it is not an ending at all. I liked the plot etc. but... this feels so unfinished. I can at least finish mentally with an open ending, but this caught me so off-guard that it doesn't feel like any closure...
