I liked penthouse, sky castle. is this drama similar?.
I have never watched sky castle so I cant compare that for you, but I can tell you this is not anywhere close to penthouse. The plot here is very weak and not as interesting as Penthouse.
This is one of those K-dramas with a very weak plot, but you somehow end up watching the whole thing. I don't understand any of the characters to be honest. They made the FL too weak and boring. What's the deal with 2FL, and why is she obsessed with the ML? I understand he's rich but he ain't the only rich guy, so why him? What about the 3FL? What was her deal really? Did the 2ML lose everything? He had promised to give away his inheritance as long as he marries the FL? So, did he lose the inheritance and the woman too? How sad lol
ML spent too much time with everyone else except the woman he was going to end up with. There was no spark between him and FL. You know the build-up that got us into Kdramas in the first place? That was lacking. They spent so much time with boring narratives ep 1-5, then rushed the final 3 episodes just when the show became interesting. Because what was that ending? Like, what just happened?
Can someone spoil the ending for me? I have wanted to watch it for a long time but I saw a clip on IG someone said it's a sad ending (someone dies?). I don't do sad-ending dramas.
I'm on ep 5 and I honestly can't figure out why this drama's ratings are so high. It's cute yes, the acting is okay, and the actors' visuals are on another level. But that's all there is to it. This Baram character is really frustrating asf. Looks like he cares more about protecting his past love instead of the current, and I find that to be so selfish and weak. I really want to drop it but I also want to know how they deal with the song situation. Will he continue to be weak, or will he defend himself and protect his love and friendship with other band members?
It's cute, low-budget drama lol. I'm giving it a high rating because I liked the main leads, and the acting was okay.
Otherwise the story was.....messy, for lack of a better word. It was an interesting plot, but the sloppy writing kinda ruins it, especially towards the end. Because like what was happening in EP7-8? lol Anyways at least we got our happy ending!
I have trouble completing most of the recent k-dramas but this was an exception. Binged it in 2 days, so I guess i can say it was good. I loved the growth Dr. Cha had throughout the drama. Honestly, I didn't understand the choices she made earlier on, like the decision to quit medicine and become a housewife? Especially when she was in a loveless marriage and her mother-in-law treated her like sh*t. The only good thing she did in those 20+ years was her kids. But I love that she later chooses to prioritize herself and do what is best for her, and she was quite decisive about that. There was no turning back once she made that decision, and I loved that.
But I must say, a part of me feels like she kinda forgot about her family once she went back to the hospital. Like in this scene, she learns that her husband has a child with the other woman, and the two girls were involved in a fight. The fact that she didn't bother checking on her daughter felt so out of character. Like I would have expected her to run to her daughter and find out if she was hurt, especially since the other girl was literally in a hospital. But overall the kids choosing her at the end shows she was definitely a good mom.
About the ending and the lack of romance, with Dr. Roy. I really think if I was in her shoes I would have made the same decision she made. She needed time to heal and get her life together, jumping to a new relationship immediately after divorce wouldn't have made sense. Also, she didn't really show much interest in Dr. Roy throughout the drama so I don't understand why people thought she should have just accepted him. He liked her, but she was too focused on her problems to give him the time of the day. However, given that there was a 3 years time-skip, I believe the writers had a chance to have them end up together. They could have spent those 3 years building their friendship and relationship and gotten their happy ending?
Anyway, if you watched The World of the Married, this is a LIGHTER version (Almost the same plot but lighter). TWOTM got me feeling so much and crying so hard. But this one had some humor and wasn't super deep, I guess it just failed to capture those emotions as in TWOTM. But it is a good watch.
This is a CCTV urban workplace drama so intimate scenes are minimal
I understand your frustrations but you can't blame him for everything. For example, this statement from one of your comments..."Then on his last drama, he didn't kiss his FL till the end. On his other dramas, he has next to no romance with his FL..." Remember he is just an ACTOR, he doesn't say when to kiss or have a romantic scene with his co-star. He follows a script and how the director wants his/her work presented. But about the kisses being bad and having no chemistry with some FLs, well that's up for debate. (But, have you considered that maybe the FLs are possibly the ones not into the kisses? I mean, since we're making assumptions here, it could be either of them or both and not necessarily just XZ)
I loved every bit of this drama. SandRay was my favorite couple. I loved the depth of their story, like individual backgrounds and all that. I love that they found each other. Seeing Ray go to rehab and become a better person with Sand by his side was beautiful. Also, Sand was my comfort character. I don't have much to say about this couple honestly, I loved them a lot.
But I really don't know how to feel about the TopMew ending. There were moments when I felt that Top had shown remorse and was willing to become a better person. Unlike Boston, he really put in a lot of effort to get Mew back. But there is also a part of me that still thinks he's just another version of Boston based on his past. Although that wasn't covered that much in the drama, it seems like he was just another playboy who used other guys and dropped them immediately after he found someone better. So, how different will he be with Mew? Realistically, how long can that kind of a guy stay loyal? I guess we will never find out unless our BL gods come through and we get a 2nd season?
Now, Boston's ending. Did he deserve to be treated as the ultimate villain? I think it depends on how you look at it. Yes, he and Top cheated. But he did manipulate the situation, lied to Top to get him to react, and even after that, he kept going after him despite knowing Mew loved him. He betrayed his friend big time. There was no coming back from that, so I kinda understand Mew's reaction. Does he deserve the harsh "you should be alone forever" treatment? No. I hope that he finds his people in NY.
Nick made the right choice. Boston wasn't his ideal BF. Moving on from that entanglement is the kind of ending he deserved. But I'd really want to see a drama or movie following his ending. Like, watch him find his own happiness and not one where Boston realizes how much he loves him and comes back, like they always do in dramas. But one where he moves on, finds his ideal bf and has a happy ever after.
Overall, this was a good drama. It deserves the hype it's been getting and I love that GMMTV is getting out of its comfort zone and giving us something more than those basic high school/college love stories. Go watch it if you haven't!
I don't understand Ji Woo's character this season at all. All I could think about throughout while watching this was Seo Joon needed to stop pursuing him, walk away, and never look back again.
Hira's character has to be the most cringy in the history of BLs. Like, he's just so hard to watch. I swear he was tolerable in S1 but in this one? Oh god. And that "He's like a King, I worship him, so I can't have him" thing he had going on in his mind was so stupid. Especially since Kiyou constantly told him he wasn't a god and didn't want to be worshipped. Also, his self-hate and dumb character was something else. Anyway I still watched all 4 eps because despite all that, it was still kinda interesting lol
I don't get the hype around this drama. It is one of those that would be just okay if it was a 2-hours movie instead of a whole series. The story had so much potential though. Also, the MLs romance was lacking for the most part (same case for all the couples tbh lol) . It's like they didn't want to kiss or touch whatsoever. But, I'm glad the chemistry was there.
I wonder why, because there is better actresses and more pretty than her, but just my opinion after see "Noble…
Maybe because "better" and "more pretty" are subjective? Just because she isn't that appealing to YOU doesn't mean that's how everyone else feels. Also there are so many reasons why someone can become famous,e.g., maybe she does a good job with selecting her scripts? If the dramas/films she's been featured on are popular then she'll be popular by default. Or maybe she has a great personality, which would make her more lovable? Or maybe her management invests heavily on her career? My point is, you need more than good acting and a pretty face to become the most famous.
Soooo you are ok with FL lying about who she was five years ago and letting him fall in love with her. Oh and…
Did I say I was okay with her lying? I specifically talked about the hospital scene because it was the one that made me ask the question. Nothing justifies his actions in a case where he can literally see she's dealing with a sick child, regardless of who is the father. Also, she kept the son away because he said he didn't want to ever see her again (5 yrs ago) and she didn't. As to why she is still lying, maybe she didn't want the entanglement? Remember he really hates her, so maybe she was afraid they would take her child away (he's from a rich family and she's not)....?
ML spent too much time with everyone else except the woman he was going to end up with. There was no spark between him and FL. You know the build-up that got us into Kdramas in the first place?
