A beautiful show, that although the final episodes themselves were beautifully done, became a victim of past kdramas and how this “type” of show must end. We have had so many shows change things up in kdramaland in the last 12 months, and 25 21 was doing this too - then somehow made its way back into familiar territory.
Was it realistic? Hmmm. Do we become our parents? Hmmm. Is professional pressure an issue - yes. But you know, there are many couples and families that make their situation work - it’s time to see this, instead of floundering, awkward communication from a couple who, were, good communicators! We’re there big gaps in the story in the end ? As others have said - yes. The time skips truncated the issues and the resolution of the diary suffered too. This was the weakest point in my mind.
Did I want a different ending? Selfishly - yes 😊
The acting was superb. The writing, despite where it ended up for me, was very good. The use of dramatic licence (fencing matches etc - so well done) - also very good. The production - once again high quality. Should the actors be proud of what they did here - absolutely.
Ah Sean, Episode 8 and 14 are in my personal record book of 'epic heart flutter inducers'. Some of the best romantic…
It is just the sweetest, phlrxd - even with the second last scene in the end credits where they make a love heart together (it changes sometimes), and the song “Love Will Find A Way” is one of the best I have heard in a long time.
Here we are at the halfway mark. In the lead up, Ep 14 was blistering. With Ep 15, I thought the change up was done well, but Xiao Zhao is no longer cool in my opinion. Still on with the show and here’s to our most amazing couple 😊
The minimalist approach re Grid is excellent. I think it is proof that you don’t need crammed storylines, longer episodes and over the top effects to make a show “a must see.”
We did have some thought provoking moments during Ep6 - the hints given by the Ghost re the use of, or how “time” works, are classic and intriguing. Other connections between the main leads also seem to be firming up nicely as well.
However, as much as I enjoyed Ep6, the exaggerated moments during the interrogation sequence were pure dramatic licence, but I guess we know kdramas tend to do that as a way of achieving emotional impact or buy in.
Overall, some very good acting going on and, for me, the events are happening at a good pace. Do the Major, the Director, the Minister and the ex-husband need a good slap and takedown - absolutely 😊 Lets hope our detective and hero have the last laugh in the remaining episodes ahead.
After four episodes I find myself quite intrigued with what is going on. Show does the secretive government organisation tone well and the acting is on point re the characters involved in its activities. This is not about being flashy or heroic, it’s about how solid, hum drum routines unearth key clues and moments. No doubt at some point everything will intersect and be calamitous!
I am glad I got to watch VoL 2. Despite the machine subs, the big heart of this drama did shine through and the main couple were fabulous. I also liked the mum and dad very much. I found the other couples a little up and down, but they had some great moments. The producers want to keep making VoL each year, obviously with new stories and a different cast each time. I look forward to Iit 😊
Do u need vpn to watch in YouTube? I search but don't c anything just clips n trailers
Yes, you do need a VPN. Marcus makes a suggestion what to do if you don’t have one, or if you do, which country to set it too, if it doesn’t do it automatically (at about the 2 minute mark): https://youtu.be/_ziPWGOI81c
