I dont underst so much criticism about this drama people I dont know if we are watching the same thing but I understand…
I find that I am enjoying Forest very much. The story is good (There are lots of elements that are on the money so to speak) and our lead pair are great together. Even the secondary couple are great value - their relationship is very charming.
Hyena had potential, but I found after the first episode, then starting on the second, despite some engrossing moments, and skipping through others, I don’t have the patience for it.
A beautiful show has come to an end. It’s nice to see a drama where the main couple understand the important things in life, as do those around them :)
Sadly, I only lasted one episode. This is not a patch on the kdrama version of Fated To Love You. Mind you, it had potential. I haven’t watched the original tdrama (I see there is a cdrama remake coming out soon too) version, but the kdrama remake is pretty hard to beat :)
What I like about Tell Me is the symbolism of the Russian Dolls (as seen in ep 6) - layers within layers. Like an onion, each layer is being peeled back one step at a time to reveal who is behind it all, we get to see Hyun Jae one layer at a time and Hwa Young is much more complex than she seems...
A wonderful and uplifting show has come to an end. Hot Stove League took us on a wonderful ride with Baek Seung Soo as the magic carpet transporting the Dreams to its final destination. Great stories, fabulous acting by everyone and a conclusion that left us with wanting to see more. It doesn’t get much better than this :)
I’m at the end of ep 5(10) and glad I persisted with Forest. It came into its own during ep 3 (6). Our OTP have an amusing/bickering/endearing relationship with some very funny moments - the scene with the lizard was pure comedy. The secondary leads are good too. Oh Bo Mi with the snake - not everyone could handle it as well as that :)
Holo is one of those rare shows where the second half is so much better than the first half. You can be involved with the story as much as you want, or not as the case may be. Is it tropey, as others have said? Yes. So, you can either pause and reflect on Show’s social commentary or just enjoy it as a story re lost souls and how they find each other. Either way: Enjoy :)
