This remake is proving to be as awkwardly paced, edited and acted as the original. As a big fan of the original despite its many, many technical flaws, I’m sort of enjoying these awkward similarities. And given that many of these actors were actually 14 and 15 years old when this new version was shot, you have to give them some slack here. However, the one thing I really do miss is the original Love Sick theme song (I think it was called “Request”). It did a great job of conveying the longing that Phun and Noh we’re feeling for each other, and really stepping up the emotions of the scenes when — I’m trying to put it delicately here — when the acting came up a little short. The music choices in this new remake feel a little generic and are falling a little flat for me.
Hi all — can someone tell me which countries this show is accessible through on Disney+? It’s not available in the US and I’ve also tried Canada, the UK, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Malaysia. I’ve read it’s available on Disney+ in certain countries, I just can’t figure out what they are. Thanks in advance for your help!
You hit a bullseye with this review. I can’t believe how many people wrote in their reviews that the acting was good in this. It just goes to show how clueless people are. And I love your comments about Yan Feig’s suits and Jimmy’s clothes. You hit the nail in the head with those observations.
I have re-watched this three times and I still don’t get the ending with the teacher and the shoes. I must be…
https://blwatcher.com/bl-series/light-on-me-drama-review/ “ The episode featured an intriguing moment where Mr. Seo meets someone from his past, a mysterious man who goes by the name of Lee Tae Sung. According to the original webtoon (which Light On Me adapts from), this guy was one of Mr. Seo’s love interests when he was younger. There’s an unofficial BL music video floating around (https://youtu.be/o-ML207l_Rg) that may shed some light on their relationship.
This scene didn’t have to be included in the episode, so it’s interesting that the drama left an ambiguous cliffhanger in there. It might signal that we’ll see Light On Me Season 2 with a focus on Mr. Seo’s love life, or it might not. We’ll keep our fingers crossed to see if there’s any sequel in the works!”
Yes, people do some mistakes, and they pay the price.But in most of cheating conspt Bl, caracters dont pay off.For…
@Rehab75 I think she was trying to say "a lot of my friends get cheated on," and wasn't calling you a friend, but keep it coming, I'm on your side of this argument and this is a very entertaining thread!
Unpoplar opinion: I like this more than ITSAY.Despite ITSAY being very poetic, sometimes it was too much poetics…
I agree. IPYTM feels more real, less juvenile, which I guess actually reflects the ages of the characters as they are growing. IPYTM is also better (so far) because the director has prevented Billken from doing any ridiculous histrionic crying scenes like he did at the end of ITSAY Ep. 4, which was a real artistic low-point of the entire series.
For anyone who hasn’t heard it, here’s Captain, the original Noh, covering the theme song from the original series: https://youtu.be/eCDGwg1Ll1U?si=4iK91Xok8p5GuX2e
