The Pages of a Fairytale

So happy that Kim Ji Suk is back! His chemistry with So Min is so good, I had so much fun with these first episodes.…
They are surprisingly pretty good together. I wasn't sure how good their chemistry would be before starting, but I'm really liking their dynamic so far.

I bet that kiss probably was just her imagination >.
I don't think it's her imagination, because it seems like he's going to start falling first, but I think it's possible it's not going to happen in the next episode. It might be a bait and switch by the production team to keep people watching, cause they're waiting for the kiss, lol.

We are totally watching different dramas. Most people see what is on the inside with JJ and yet still choose to…
Sorry for the book, lol.

Oh, I'm in full agreement that the drama mishandled his character. They did very little to make us feel sympathy for him, and now they're having to scramble to create it in the final hour. That's poor writing. I'm just saying that him possibly deciding that he needs to get help would actually be a form of redemption (at least in my eyes), because it means he recognizes there is a problem that needs to be addressed, and he's taking the steps to do so. It's not an all-encompassing, now he is fully redeemed, redemption, but more of a gradual kind of redemption. I actually just finished ep 14, and my feelings on it are mixed. I don't think his moment with Hoo Joon was at all earned, and I don't think it served the story. With In Hyung, I'm leaning both ways. The accident might not have been necessary, but it still hit me in the gut when it happened. I also liked the moment leading up to it. It felt like In Hyung was finally saying the things that Jae Joon needed to hear to finally get it. And I don't agree with the general sentiment that her walking out into traffic like she did was just undoing everything that came before with her character. Sometimes you work hard to pull yourself out of something only for everything to fall apart again, and it feels like it doesn't matter what you do or how much progress you make, because something's always going to be there waiting to pull you back down. That's kind of the impression I got from that choice, and I think it made sense for her character. I think the problem is that, again, Jae Joon hadn't earned the moment of clarity the accident has most likely given him, so it makes the entire moment feel off. Jae Joon's convo's with Guenyoung though are something I think he actually earned. For me, Jaejoon was an actual character when he was with Geunyoung and a caricature the rest of the time. He had an obvious dislike for Hoo Joon, but it wasn't all there was to his character, and you saw that when he and Geunyoung were together. He had an actual personality and could actually be (gasp!) likable, lol. (Or maybe that was just for me.) Both of their conversations in ep 14 felt authentic to me, because their interactions leading up to them had felt authentic. I do agree with you that his character hasn't earned the traditional drama redemption arc. But I don't know if it would really bother me if he were to get it. I started this drama with the attitude of I know this isn't going to be some stunning piece of cinema, and I'm just going to let it take me wherever it chooses to go. And if that's where it wants to go, then I guess I'll go there, lol.

Come on! It's the Truck of Doom! If it hadn't appeared out of nowhere they would have seen it approaching in time,…
I want this written on a T-shirt, lol.

that one ost track (i think it's called popstar??) but they changed the vocals of the song to a flute being played…
I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but the soundtrack for this drama is kind of...not so great. There are a couple songs I like, but some I Really don't like.

Is it me that I am not able feel the chemistry between the leads at all? I feel the FL has not shown enough concern…
I don't know that I think they have really strong acting chemistry together, but I don't think it's terrible either. It's kind of middling for me, but there's been enough there for me to get enjoyment out of the series and them as a couple. This won't go down as one of my favorite dramas or couples ever, but I've definitely had fun.

That is a form of redemption though, is it not? Getting help means eventually being redeemed, because you are working towards a better version of yourself and dealing with your insecurities and trauma's and pain so that it no longer controls you and hurts others.

I'm sad a lot of ppl only see whats on the surface with JJ. He is insecure. He is being made out to be the bad…
I understand where you are coming from, and I agree that his behavior is stemming from his fear of rejection and feeling like his friends have abandoned him. Unfortunately, I don't think the drama writers have done a good job, or really made much effort at all, to make these motivations clear to the audience, so it's really easy to just hate him. They've put very little effort into making him more sympathetic. His behavior is also extremely malicious and harmful, so no matter what his reasons are, it's very difficult to feel sorry for him. Personally, I think what he needs right now is for everything to completely collapse around him so that he's forced to face up to the person he is and the way he's acted. HJ and IH have been very clear with him that they've never sought to hurt him, and he just doesn't get it. Sadly, he's left himself no pathway toward redemption but the most painful path available, and it might even be too late for that.

Title Dear.M
Still crossing my fingers that this will get released.
On So I Married the Anti-Fan Jun 12, 2021
I fully admit that this is not an amazingly well-written story. There's plenty of cringe and cliche on display, lol. But I've pretty consistently enjoyed this drama since starting it. It's been a very easy watch (JJ aside; he seriously needs to be seeing a therapist and working through his INTENSE jealousy and abandonment issues because they are literally destroying him).
On Doom at Your Service Jun 5, 2021
I'm only on episode 6, so maybe things change in the next couple of episodes, but right now I have to disagree with all of the critiques in the recent comments. I haven't noticed any real plot holes, and I'm not bothered by the will they-won't they of the main couple or the vagueness/uncertainness of the drama's mythology (and we have to remember that translations can often add to this last one). I think this is a pretty good drama with a lot to chew on. It might not be for everyone, but so far, it is for me.

and if you are going to watch this just because it has fantasy genre, pls think again.
I'm actually really enjoying the fantasy elements, but different strokes for different folks, I guess.
On A Thousand Goodnights May 27, 2021
I still don't understand why this drama has such a low rating. I assume it's because of the slow pacing of the over-arching storyline and the romance, but this drama was Intended to be slower, so it's kind of unfair to rate it down over that? Regardless, this drama definitely deserves more love.
On Park Hye Soo May 25, 2021
Person Park Hye Soo
This whole situation is sad, but I hope we're coming to the end of it soon. Literally no one wins here. Park Hye Su's career has been (seemingly) unfairly affected and will probably take awhile to recover. That's not to mention how she must be suffering having to relive her experience of being bullied and now being betrayed by someone she thought she had made amends with. And the accuser(s)? It's easy to talk them down and call them names and wish ill upon them here in the comments, but they're not happy people, and that's truly sad. They went through all this work to tear someone else down in an effort to feel better about themselves, and now their house of cards appears to be falling apart. That's honestly the best (and saddest) justice they could ever receive. It's just a sad situation all around, and I'm praying for everyone involved, including the perpetrators.
