Comment thread has almost 13,000 comments, and I'm pretty sure that one or more of the comments spoils the end, but I really can't read 13,000 comments to find out about the ending. (Not watching a Xanxia drama before I know how it ends. Too many of these end badly.)
Not to nitpick or anything, but if the FL's character is an adult (so she'll probably be shown drinking soju or beer because it's a Kdrama afterall, right?) calling her a "girl" instead of referring to her as a woman is already starting off on a back foot, yes?
If he learned Japanese from his mother when he was very young, learning a 3rd language (Thai) would not be difficult, but I wonder if someone who graduated college with a degree in math and statistics isn't pretty damn smart to start with? What an impressive person!
Aw, heck. I liked it. It was weak as hell in too many places. But the cast was beautiful and one or two of the romances were engaging and almost exciting.
The basis of the show is 6 beautiful bad boys who redeem themselves because they fall in love. Aw.
Can't bring myself to watch the last 8 episodes, ever since the episode with the random nun. Pretty sure it isn't worth it to finish it, either. Gosh. How do you make a show that starts out so great and then write it so bad, the audience wants to push the screenwriter out of a window? These dopes are ruining weekend dramas.
Hi Dedra70, I plan to watch this drama, Kindly give me spoiler regarding 1. When is the main couple officially…
The point of the show is how people can create and grow love when they're very busy trying to make a living, so it takes a while after the leads meet to become an official couple, but really, that's what the whole show is about. There is no break up, no love triangles, and the annoying exes are a very small part of the show.
This is not a youth drama, and it isn't cute and fluffy. The leads are mature, and both characters are in very demanding professions.
This is quite good, and an example of a Cdrama done right. It's realistic without being grim or gritty. The leads have chemistry, which grows over time, as does your appreciation for the story and pace of the show. In its own way, the show is uplifting.
I don't know yet what this version is like, but isn't there something fantastic about a drama that's been imported into so many countries and languages from a version that originated in a different hemisphere? And each country makes it their own. So cool.
So I'm watching this for the[Xth] time. This will probably be the last time. I dislike the FL's character more every time I watch. This time, I was truly, truly annoyed at her spinelessness, combined with her noble idiocy. Out of her misguided sense of not hurting the people she cares about, she hurts them worse, and also hurts everyone in the vicinity. I get it that she's not exactly a Rhodes scholar (especially compared to the ML, who goes from not being able to tie his shoelaces to undefeated lawyer in 5 years--literally.) but this is a person who shouldn't be trusted to decide what to have for dinner.
It's a good drama, but you need to have a high tolerance for unlikely coincidences, noble idiocy, and a FL who makes very bad choices and then tries to lessen the damage she causes with big eyes swimming in tears and the single word "sorry."
When a show can generate this much comment traffic and hate-watching, it has to be considered a success, even if you absolutely despise the plot tangents and the dissipation of the characters. From that standpoint, it's everything the network could possibly want, since what they care about is viewership and eyeballs. They don't really care whether viewers like the drama. (The writer might care that viewers want to pelt him with rotten fruit, but not if the show is making him enough money and giving him name recognition.)
That's all fair, I guess.
But for myself and the 44 hours of my time I've invested in the drama, I'm pretty disgusted that the show I was so excited to watch every week because it started out so great has become an annoying and frustrating piece of mediocrity. I'm going to punish the writer for this by never watching anything written by them again, and by linking anything they write in the future to this absolute floating turd of a drama. There have to be consequences when you treat your audience this disrespectfully.
Honestly as a final ep it was like a filler episode. I like all the characters now I really felt the disappointment…
I agree completely.
I liked the show, but it was missing something. It was not tight enough to be one kind of thing, and not loose enough to be the other. The strength of the drama was obviously showcasing an envious mother-daughter relationship (who wouldn't want a relationship like this with a parent?), but outside of their dynamic, there is not really enough to paste the show together.
Also, the final episode was dumb, and I hate that.
Someone spoil the end for me, please? HE or SE?
