More in depth history of Yi San's and Deok Im's love story. https://thetalkingcupboard.com/2021/12/31/the-red-sleeve-history-her-story-and-their-love-story/
Thank you for that... I had decided not to watch the 17th ep cz I kind of knew the ending and I really didn't want to actually face it.. But this one.. Gave more volume. Now I understand why they chose to make it a drama adaptation. Their story is all the more worth it!! And knowing it is a reality.. Gives mixed feelings Like yes.. There does exist someone who cherished the other so much.. Yet they couldn't go on till the end.. Or maybe they did?
I have mixed feelings now... My absolutely beautiful characters.. Suffered so much under whosoever wrote it. Why make the so good so beautiful inside out if we gotta see them like this The start was absolutely amazing amazing and fantastic.. It derailed down the way when the never ending love triangle came up.. Beautiful relationships got so messy.. Ahhhhhhhh. The author did them so bad. I just wanna take these characters away and place them somewhere else... Away from the never ending mess of relationships.
I loved loved the character that my heart ached for the poor situation they were put in.. Lusiyi was the absolute best from the first minute to the very last. Ahhhhh like someone take siyi and give him the best. I wish I could write a fanfic ❤️
Ep 6 , female lead pissed me off at end , i though she was smarter than that. Hopefylly they reddem her in ep…
The fl here feels much better than other cdramas I have watched. Although she has the moments which are the stupid.. Which are totally the purpose of the screenwriter for the comedic or whatever effect. I am thanking it's only moments and not her whole character like in other dramas
So can anyone here connect the dots relating to fan Qin.. The investor please.. So far. I cannot make heads or tails of his role and his unusual actions towards the fl (even if it's wrong.. But make it believable lol) Any thinggg for now.. Atleast to pacify myself until the next episode releases .... ... ... P. S.. Mark it as a spoiler for others just in case..
I came here long ago.. Before this drama was even released.. Just as the cast got confirmed.. Purely for Lee Jun ho. At that time.. There was the comment saying that.. They didn't have high hopes for this drama.. Cz of the plot and that junho wouldn't be able to act it out or can't handle it. . . . Now at this stage.. Its louuuuddd and clear.. That he NAILED IT!! Idk if anyone would ever be able to replace him. All his dramas.. He did it so good. He owned the character. One of the best and versatile actors in the industry!!!!
I managed to watch till ep 24 hoping for something better to happen. But never mind.. I dropped it because I watched "MY FATED BOY" while I was waiting for the other episodes cz someone mentioned it in the comment. Because of that drama.. I dropped this. I mean that drama was everything that this drama.. Couldn't even try to be.
Seriously after watching that. You would never wanna watch this. Shout out to the comment who mentioned such a gem of the drama my fated boy. I am so glad to have watched that drama.. Which doesn't have cdrama clichés and bad ml You guys should definitely give it a try.. The ml there is so adorable. . . . Came back to write this here to give thanks.. And to let others know.. That such a cdrama exists with adorable ml who actually respects fl and an independent fl.. Who doesn't need the ml to solve every lil thing for her.
Okay okay.. I guess we all need to come down a lil bit.
So people who actually like the light crime series can enjoy this. This drama is good enough but came in the wrong year.. With 2020 and 2021 giving us such benchmark dramas and upgrading the level of the dramas and increasing our expectations. For sure we had higher expectations of comedy thrillers and rom com thrillers.
This is an average drama.. That would have been a good time pass if it were released in 2018 or 19
Oh my goodness This is an absolute gem.. A big one at that.
Perfect acting. Perfect balance of fluff and seriousness Perfect osts Just perfect in its own simplicity.
I love the focus of the drama. It portrayed the seriousness of the age gap. I In a very realistic way The societal pressure did play a minor role.. But the main focus was on the leads as individuals trying to understand.. To communicate and overcome the problems.. Them trying to adjust to each other With lots of fluff in between. This is the stuff that's normally ignored in every drama but here it's emphasised.
Still wondering if you wanna watch or not? Let's see what this drama doesn't have Annoying ex Toxicity Arrogant ml Misunderstandings Dog blood Breakups Clichés
The chemistry between the leads was so natural and felt genuine And absolutely adore the ml.. He is definitely in the list of top ML of cdramas
This definitely deserves 8.5 to 8.7 ratings on MDL If the leads were famous.. This would have got a better rating for sure A must watch drama for sure
People down here disliking a character shows how well the script is made.. Because this one doesn't just brush past their characters mistakes. Or make them stop doing the mistake at the nick of the moment because they well understood everything at that point because of what.. Patrogonist halo
I wanna just precisily highlight that as a viewer.. You might hate the characters making wrong decisions and acting on impulse because we are aware of the other side. But the characters don't know that and they are actually quite normal in their reactions.
All the 4 leads are the patrogonist of their own lives. And every one of them.. Had their own story fleshed out that made them who they are today.. That made them stand where they are today.
And this kdrama..was amazing.. That aside. I loved how the writer fleshed out the characters. They might seem overly emotional, scheming and whatsoever. But the story behind it.. Made it all justified. The scenarios they faced.. Actually justified their actions. (I know there might be opinions opposing it.. But if you place yourself in their shoes. It makes sense.) The raw emotions and their scars and their traumas and their revenge everything was portrayed so well.
It is not just a crime and law drama.. Its actually so much more. The grey zone Where you are in a turmoil to love them or hate them cz they make you do both.
So don't get discouraged by all the comments they don't like this or that character of the leads. They have their opinions.. Based on their understanding
But I loved and hated yet loved them again.. All 4.
This drama was one of the most beautiful Chinese dramas. It's a top 10. A healthy toxic free relationship Male not being arrogant is the huge plus.
I think yu tu will be the most cherished and memorable character that yang yang has ever taken. Yu tu.. In his introverted state too.. Did demand a lot as an actor It wasn't a big things that he did. It was all the minor and minute details that had made yu tu stand aside proud from all his other characters I really loved yang yang in this role.. I was never a fan of him before and now.. Hehehe I couldn't help it.
The script and the detailing are really well done. I mean it was superb. You could see them actually getting closer physically and emotionally step by step Instead of the I love after one or two scenes as seen in other dramas.
I fell in love with all the minute and minor detailings the production team and all the actors had put effort to show.
The last episode gave me goosebumps. All the scenes totally brought us into the atmosphere Ghosh. This drama was a lovely one. A simple yet so so beautiful plot with a lot of lessons dropped here and there.
Rating 7.5/10 It was originally a 8.5 for me.. But the last few episodes were too rushed. Nothing really made sense. The pacing went wrong.. Too many were added which originally had to take time and explored more instead of introducing it in the last second episode. The first half of the drama was really good. It always gave a giddy feel.
The actors were good and suited their roles. If just the screenwriter hadn't screwed the last few episodes this would have been one of the most memorable drama
P. S IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER FOR THE ML TO BE BLIND THROUGHOUT AND EXPLORE THE OTHER SIDE RATHER THAN THE OBLIGATION OF HIM BEING PERFECT N MISSING OUT THINGS. A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T GET A CHOICE. UNFORTUNATELY.
This drama surely deserves a higher rating. The pace, the atmosphere, the cinematography, the acting, and the plot is all well done and beautifully done. This surely deserves a chance!!

Because of that drama.. I dropped this.

Well just skip the kissing scenes when it comes.. Cz the rest of the drama is funny and family friendly
