DramaHeroine

I've been unsure about whether this will be something I'll want to watch, but all of the stills are really pulling me in. This looks like it will be a lot of fun.

Does anyone know where I can find raws for eps 7 through 10? I'm not finding them in my usual spots.

I just rewatched this, and oh my goodness is this such a lovely drama. Love it even more now.

I totally get why it was so popular with people. It's 100% a crack drama, lol.

This is one of the dramas I watched as a newbie Asian drama lover. The story sucked me in and then drove me absolutely nuts. I ended up pushing myself to finish it. Needless to say...I hate Goong. I hate it with the passion of a thousand fiery suns.

I will also absolutely watch this remake if it ever actually happens, because I am clearly a glutton for punishment. And I have this small, ever-present hope that the remake will find a way to make the story, and its characters, less infuriating.

I'm absolutely delusional, but at least I can admit it, lol.

I know the translation has him saying something like 'It's been a while,' but I think there's enough wiggle room in the scene for that to not mean what people think it means. Either way though, my head cannon is that they are together, lol.

I've now finished the series, and I think people's comments on the ending may have been misleading. The last scene seems open to some interpretation, but given the scene just before it, I think it's possible we actually got a happy ending? I'm not truthfully sure, but I'm making a happy ending my head cannon, because the last two scenes make it seem possible.

I still think about this drama, 7 months later. One of the best drama's I've ever watched.

Also, I'm dreading the ending, because I've read the spoilers, and I'm preemptively sad.

Leaving a comment here so I'll see it when I write my review, but the main actor is PERFECT in this role. He NAILS the cute and comical expressions of his character, and I love it so much, lol.

I've been thinking a lot lately about gratitude and how I can live a more grateful life. I know from personal experience what walking around with bitterness and anger and hurt can do to you if you don't address it. It steals your life. There's actually scientific research showing that gratitude has immense health benefits both mentally and physically, and the lack of gratitude and/or bitterness and long-term anger and hurt cause health problems for us both mentally and physically. (The same actually goes with forgiveness and an unwillingness to forgive.)

It's definitely hard to overcome pain and suffering in our lives and develop gratitude and an ability to forgive, but in the long run, they are good for us.

Yeah, some of the jokes really felt out of place this season. Maybe I'm misremembering, but I don't remember season 1 having any gag jokes.

Well, I should say the second half of the drama, ep 6/7 on, are what saved it for me.

The last 4 eps saved it for me too. The whole thing felt very incohesive at times which was a confusing, and not always enjoyable, viewing experience.

This season was a mixed bag. There were some really great moments, some strong character development. It was really great to see what these girls were like as kids, their upbringings, and later as college students and how their friendship began. It gave us a lot of insight into who they each are. And while everyone else seems to have hated how things played out between Ji Goo and Ji Yeon, I think it was some of this season's strongest writing. I actually mostly like how things played out in both of our romances, personally. But there were some poor writing choices this season as well. The first two episodes were fine for me, but when we were still in the mountains by ep 3, I was ready for the girls to go home. The whole 'healing in the mountains' bit was only going to work for so long, and they stretched it beyond what was reasonable. Ji Yeon's job at the yoga studio felt totally out of place to me and didn't start to feel like a cohesive part of the story until halfway through the drama. There was some gag humor that felt totally out of place and not really very funny. And the tale end of the last episode was disappointing in some ways.

This season was just incohesive, and I'm torn on how to rate it.

Disappointed to see the rating drop below an 8. I rated it a 10, because I think it was solid from start to finish, but it's obviously not going to be everyone's jam, and I get that. It still very much deserves an overall rating of 8 from MDL users though.

I watched Shizuka-chan to Papa, and I would not categorize it as a sitcom. It employs some light humor, but it's more of an emotionally driven show, exploring the impact of deafness on the person living with it and on their loved ones. It's also not episodic in nature, like sitcoms are.

I'm 4 episodes into this season, and I'm not really impressed so far. The living in nature to cure cancer bit didn't bother me, because I don't think we were meant to take it quite as seriously as a lot of people on here did, but I also think it went on too long. Buk Goo left after finding out what happened to them, and I lost all interest in their nature escapades after that. More importantly though, I'm just not laughing nearly as much as I did with season 1. A lot of the humor so far just...isn't funny.

What a lovely series. It took me a bit to get into it, but once I did, it charmed the pants off of me.

Ok, that's what I was thinking.
