Episode count of 4 is completely wrong. The 4 episodes I've watched already are great fun, but if you're a person who waits until a show is finished to binge it, the ending is weeks away.
Well, shoot. I liked it quite a lot, but I'm still a little disappointed that it didn't quite live up to the sexiness of the opening credits, or even the darkness/tension of the first two episodes.
Is this a typical 16 episode kdrama that Netflix has split into "2 seasons"? I hope this stupid Netflix strategy backfires on them. Because if it's a 16 episode drama, I'll just wait to watch until it's complete.
The traffic in Seoul is no joke--just like it is in every major city world-wide, yet somehow a character can make a u-turn on the spot, and does, with not so much as screeching tires or another driver's irate honk. (The USdrama equivalent is finding a parking space right in front of the building the character needs to enter, even if it's downtown.)
The 2nd most irritating and un realistic thing is: why do they only fill instant coffee cups only half way, even if it's a small paper cup? And why are any beverages poured out of a cup so obviously only water?
As is usual in cdramas, strong female leads stop being strong female leads midway through the drama, or when they fall in love with one of the characters (usually the male lead, of course) and Wei Wei in Love 020 is no exception. (To be fair, kdramas can also make FL's stupid when they fall in love.)
I wasn't a fan of Wei Wei's character to begin with, but I thoroughly disliked the character by the drama's end.
This has been on my PTW list for 991/2 years. Since before I was born, at least. Such a long time to anticipate a drama. I hope it's really coming now.
I liked this quite a lot. It's more of a movie than a drama (breaking it into 4 30;00 pieces fits the "drama"/tv format, I guess).
It's dark. The subject matter is adult(ish). The story suggests, rather than makes anything explicit. You aren't hand fed. I thought the ending was full of hope and forgiveness. I'll definitely re-watch this in a few months.
It was okay. The male lead was really good. But I have complaints.
The FL's wardrobe. So bad. So very, very bad. If you watch this at Viki, disable comments, because most of them are about Nian Nian's awful clothes. Or stylist. And I'd have to agree.
The FL was so . . . childish. The aegyo game is strong in this one.
The 2nd ML, DT, has virtually no lines, and his character is stiff and wooden.
The flashbacks. The flashbacks are just out of control.
The last 20% of the drama, the last 5 or so episodes? So much is edited out of these episodes, it takes an act of will to make sense of them.
The kisses are sweet, although since Nian Nian is channeling a 13 year old virgin, you need to have very low expectations about her side of them.
These aren't reasons to not watch or like the show, but it could've so easily been better.
I only saw her in Leh Lub Salub Rarng, my first (and pretty much only) lakorn. Aside from the fact that I really…
I wish I still hadn't seen Kluen Cheewit yet, so i could watch it again for the first time.. This is probably the best lakorn ever made. If you haven't seen it yet, stop what you're doing immediately, and get to it!
What can I say? I loved it. I'm wondering how long I should reasonably wait before I watch it all over again? Three kick ass women, very hot kisses, and three really great romances.
Another drama that starts out beautifully and then forgets itself somewhere midway through. While there were many moments in the drama that were lovely and moving, they weren't enough to overcome constant frustration with the progression of the story. Every episode has one of her family members trying to do her in [the needle on the moral compass of this story swings pretty wildly]. Boy did that get tiring.
Except for the story. And the ending.
