I was in a bit of a kdrama slump, but had shows saved that I knew I should watch. So I decided to break the drought and just devote my time to what I thought was worthwhile. And fuck, excuse the superlative, but have there been some incredible series. I’m only a few episodes into Study Group and I already know this cannot be rated lower than an 8. It’s just freakin awesome. The action sequences already deserve a 20/10, so I wouldn’t be surprised with myself if I decided to rate it higher when I finish watching. But also, why is my cutie pie guy from Tasty Florida all of a sudden in everything I’m watching? He was there in Melo Movie and then also in Buried Hearts, and here he is again! It’s such an uncanny coincidence. Every series he’s chosen I’ve loved or been loving. Shout out to Cha Woo Min. I’m loving him in every role.
I’m just really liking this. I’ve never really been a fan of the love triangle trope, or quadrangle as I guess this is. Or maybe it’s more a Venn diagram with Da On being right there in the epicenter of it all. But what I’m hooked on and can’t quite decide is if I like Da On with his coworker better than Da On with his college unrequited love. I feel like the show is making me lean towards the coworker, Seong Hyeun, but I can’t shake these feelings I have for the possibility of him being with his first love, Jae Min. And that’s why I’m hooked on this love triangle/quadrangle/Venn Diagram of a show and why it’s got my mind spinning and anticipating what comes next.
Here’s the thing, and what bothers me the most about this drama, I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s been days since I finished following along with this story, and yeah, I get it, people don’t like this, but I can’t stop the continual thoughts of this show popping up in my mind. I don’t even mean for it to happen and all of a sudden Eve and Ryong and this crazy space drama have invaded my mental space . That last episode messed me up.
Just finished the first two episodes and I know what my new weekly obsession is going to be. This. A comedy with a side of drama and portions of action and thriller is a story I didn’t even know I needed right now. I’m all for it.
Damn the ratings are so bad 😮💨 how bad is this...
It’s fine, I don’t consider it terrible. It’s just maybe one of those rare occurrences that it was better to watch while it was airing instead of binging. I liked following the story and it really is interesting. Maybe this is a bit too niche for the masses, but the reason I enjoyed it is because it was different but still gave the feels.
I won’t dislike this. I just can’t. I enjoyed watching every week and I’m a bit sad that it’s over. I will say I feel I’ve been done dirty by the ending though. The whole show was about hope and miracles happening, but then, I guess it ran out?
This is a not so fun game to play, but my mind keeps reverting to it anyway, is Cir from a parallel universe, or does he have DID? I would much rather believe in the fantastical, but I keep getting the feeling like Cir’s own mind is playing tricks on him, possibly due to concussive or mental health issues? My fingers are crossed that he is fighting for a love in a world that is not his own. That’s my own preference, but it hurts my heart for him either way to think he is forced into being star-crossed lovers for either outcome.
I really liked this and looked forward to watching every week. The last episode was a bit lackluster. I guess I was just hoping for more of a grand ending, but still, it was enjoyable and I’m going to miss it.
What? Enough with the age gap nonsense. Those of you with this issue are either too old to be understanding or too young to understand. I refuse to believe that two young people in their twenties within a 5 year age difference is considered to be an age gap. The tag for this show and these ageist reviews are just proof that ageism is all too real. If you think that you’ll never experience working with someone younger than you in a higher position or someone older that’s more qualified but in a lower position than you, well you just need to get out there more. Or maybe you’ve had it too easy. Either way, “age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind it, it doesn’t matter”.
Hear me out, if you just skip through the scenes that don’t directly involve Ryong and Eve, it’s not that terrible. Their storyline is interesting and acted well. That’s not to say the acting isn’t great in this, Oh Jung Se, I’m looking at you and your character yet again has me wrapped around his finger. But credit must also be given where credit is due, the ML and FL are acting their asses off and I appreciate that about them. I have looked forward to watching this every week, which is worth acknowledging. Respect. Fighting.
I am far too conflicted when it comes to trying to figure out what to rate this show. I loved the actors for both Sang Min and Dinneaw, and that this was the first Thai/Korean BL collab where I felt the language exchange wasn’t a language barrier. But just, ahhh! what a missed opportunity this was for the scale of acting versus the lacking story.
But also, why is my cutie pie guy from Tasty Florida all of a sudden in everything I’m watching? He was there in Melo Movie and then also in Buried Hearts, and here he is again! It’s such an uncanny coincidence. Every series he’s chosen I’ve loved or been loving. Shout out to Cha Woo Min. I’m loving him in every role.
