That kind of plot twist would make it actually worth it.. maayybe.. xD

(Bonus fanvid rec: https://youtube.com/watch?v=sOWPbqQsEu0 lol)

That's an interesting point-of-view about the title.. it seemed fine to me "at first glance", but since you mentioned it, I checked it out..

"del": Contracción de la preposición "de" y el artículo "el".
"la casa del cura; bajad ya del coche." (example sentences from Google)

So apparently there must be some additional factor re: "Luna" I overlooked that yes, means it should've been {Hotel de la Luna} instead.. & even more interesting, pretty much the same goes in every other similar language xD

(I've been studying multiple languages slowly in recent years, despite my learning disabilities, & actually grew up with both Spanish & French but was never able to grasp them as I should've, so figuring out their nuances is always fascinating to me)

SAME altho I think I ~did read it, but I forgot it cuz it's been so long & I only just watched now.. (I also have a thing where I just ~have to watch sequels, oyy) x.x"

WARNING: THIS MOVIE('s ending) *WILL* BREAK
YOUR HEART &&& SOUL.. "why so cruel" indeed!

Y'all, I haven't been ~this MAD at a "male lead" since JJS in Jealousy Incarnate.. arrghh!! What a waste of +2hrs & all the other ~otherwise decent~ characters that had to suffer for him.. actually, thank goodness it was not a 40-episode "miniseries"! But as usual, needed to be much more GAY or *polyamorous* to be ~worth it! (the forever-hopeless dream of a "biro-ace" media fan, lol) The new additions to the cast were super cute tho- her boss & brother- & they deserved better just as much as QH, siigh.. at least Genie got to swim free! *back to imagining a trio-shippy ending* <3

HOTDAMN- I HAVE *FINALLY* SEEN THE SEQUEL & AAARGHH.. >n<

First tho, I revisited this one & it was even more painful the second time! I still enjoyed the few cute bits that there were (& I am still a total ~sap for the whole "communicating thru windows" thing, tho fair warning- the 2nd completely ruins it! along with everyone else) but my gosh, this dude's douchiness was even ~more annoying this time around.. even when he attempted "nice things", it still came off wrong (some actually awesome ideas tho).. & QH deserved so much better! Ah well, back to dreaming I guess!

Hana Kimi 2006 has Jiro acting ~hilarious, total 180 from AB xD

As mentioned above, it is on Viki, but not available in the US currently so you may need a UK vpn, etc.. ^_~ But you can request for US access here: https://support.viki.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034633713 Fingers crossed! xoxo

OH MY HEAART @ all these cuties, I love them ~aaall & I just ship *everyone* LOL but especially SeokHo+HaNeul!! <3 (& their back-carry scene was the best!! which was even funnier to me cuz right before it happened, I was musing on their height diff ie HaNeul being younger-but-taller & then it was like- ohh, nice timing! xDD ahaha) ♡ Plus, even tho it ended quite nicely, I would've loved to watch another 20 to 40 (or more!) episodes with this cast.. a top fave for sure! ^-^ 9/10

Slashy single-sentence summary: "Disgraced music mogul in his darkest moment is drawn to the voice of someone unexpected & inspired to become a better person as they form a band."

Also, this mini-recap of the first few episodes by DramaBeans' LollyPip is pretty good too: https://kisskh.at/16827-entertainer#comment-1267608

It's really an ensemble cast, but technically in this case the two main leads are both guys.. one a manager dealing with dark issues & one an aspiring musician whom the manager discovers, & them working together to create smth to heal them both. The "found family" that results between their new group & their friends made ~me fall in love for sure! There are a few romance lines that happen in the background of the main story, but they're really subtle.. still, totally worth the watch to me <3

.
*Everyone* needs to analyze their words & consider how they ~might affect others negatively, even those with good intentions. "My way" is nothing special, it is just logical. I am sure you were indeed ~trying to be helpful-ish.. but it still sounded ominous. "Quick, do more before you get old!" So if a celeb (or anyone who gets such a msg) happens to read that & was burdened, it'd be ~their fault? Perhaps I just have a lot of empathy, as I usually prefer to try & focus more on *appreciation* in general rather than reminders of age & the possibilty of becoming "obsolete"; instead I eagerly welcome & anticipate the ~potential of someone's 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, etc. even if they work less. May all of our faves stick around for many more decades! <3 Btw, Happy New Year!

.
Point is, it's actually very ~rude thing to say. "Sorry to tell you, but soon your life won't be valuable anymore.. so please entertain us as much as possible before then because that's all you are good for!" As if anyone in such an already high-pressure industry needs even MORE pressure to perform for the public. If I was a celebrity & a fan said this to me, it would NOT be good for my mental health at all. Absolutely no one needs to be reminded how shallow the world can be. Thank goodness no celebrities come to read here anyway. How about saying something more ~positive tho just in case, like, "Looking forward to your future projects, whenever you're ready to do more!" Now ~that would be a supportive fan <3

Not everyone cares about being popular & they will do what they like, whether that be as little or few movies & shows as they prefer, or more. True fans won't go away just because someone gets a little older, or cuz "newer or younger" actors come up. ~Any decade of life can be interesting for stories, depending on the plot. (Look at Goblin, main char was in his 800s, while actor was in *late-30s*, still became a super hit) So you should not be worried about those who will not tune in because of silly thoughts of ageism & neither should he- those people do not matter. Art always finds an audience <3

First half was so messy, I don't really have any hope for the second half.. seems like this trio was ~doomed from episode one.. only really got hooked because the cast in real life is so damn cute! OT3, anyone? https://youtube.com/watch?v=ynQZp7P8EQc <3

& also.. #myheaaart https://youtube.com/watch?v=sOWPbqQsEu0 #whyyy *o* #trueOTP

I'ma pop back into this thread cuz.. https://youtube.com/watch?v=ynQZp7P8EQc

& also.. #myheaaart https://youtube.com/watch?v=sOWPbqQsEu0 #whyyy *o*

Appreciate the reminder! It does work on mobile, but WOW- 04mns in, now I can see how awkward the subs are that ppl mentioned some mths ago in cmts below.. listed as "machine-translated", they're not sentenced correctly, too fast & rather uncomfortable to read. Definitely will be worth the wait for human-translated ones, especially if it's ever on ~Roku. <3

Ahaha, well that explains it- you must've got me confused with someone else who asked that question, lol since I've known it was out from my research on it (my now-mth-old top cmt in this particular thread includes a link to where I was tracking the TV airdates & ratings) & was first released on certain platforms (as I also provided the official links) but I personally was mainly looking for English subs before I'd be watching it myself (especially cuz, as mentioned in a previous cmt reply, I need [captions] on everything, even English audio), ie why I also included a link to request it on Netflix in that original cmt too, which I was still going to update again if it ever showed up on any official English services too.. thanks tho! <3

.
Are you sure that link was meant for me? There have been many bootleg sources without English subs, & all of them have those same hard-subs in Mandarin(?) but I'm waiting to find some clear video versions. I did put a request in at KissAsian, where you can just add the MDL link to let them kno which one you're interested in, so maybe it might show up there xD https://kissasian.sh/RequestDrama

She's there, LOL- https://kisskh.at/people/2494-oh-yi-na xD

..also seems doubly-posted too: https://kisskh.at/people/9364

Maybe some moderators will eventually correct that odd error, hehe.. <3

Thanks for the advice, lol it was only later that I realized all the effort was for naught as no source had English subs, oops. I actually really ~need captions on everything, one of the reasons I rarely go to see regular theater movies, hehe. Hopefully Viki or some other official streaming site will get it eventually! xoxo

IT'S FINALLY AVAILABLE?! ..or not, lol. Can't get it to work on any links so far.. ;(

https://www.iqiyi.com/v_19rumedq2k.html (iQiyi says, "Due to copyright, not available in your area." - US & seems like, ExpressVPN for Hong Kong also does not work)

http://v.qq.com/x/page/z00327jqhgx.html?ptag=douban.tv&subtype=1&type=online-video (also blocked due to copyright, in the US & Hong Kong)

{*SEE 2020 EDITS AT BOTTOM OF THIS NOW-OLD 2019 POST LOL}

But why does MDL say ~Netflix?? Does someone have the Netflix code??
Example: https://netflix.com/title/81002594 <~ code (& which country??)
(Nov01 update: looks like someone actually removed the Netflix tag, hmm)
REQUEST IT HERE: https://help.netflix.com/en/titlerequest *fingerscrossed*
Use all 3 titles, 1 per box: [亲爱的味道] - [Qin Ai De Wei Dao] - [Kiss Love Taste]

According to the official(?) "viewing calendar", the original intended airing schedule wd've had 2 episodes a day, 3 days a week (Tu/Wd/Th), for a total of 6 each, for six weeks & in the 7th, airing the last 3 (2 on Tu, 1 on Wd), from Sept10 thru Oct23. * https://i.imgur.com/hGl4tld.jpg

Based on the posted ratings results for JiangsuTV, that order of scheduling did not go as planned. http://www.chinesedrama.info/2018/04/drama-kiss-love-and-taste.html Thus as of October 21, episodes 28-39 are still listed yet-to-air from Oct23 thru Nov07. Now to wait again..! xD

NOV16 UPDATE: The series did indeed just finish on JiangsuTV, with the final eps 38 & 39 airing on Nov07. Yet the wait continues in regards to a Netflix or Viki release. Also Viki's request form is no longer in service, but you can always try posting on their social media! ;)

JAN02 UPDATE: Forgot to add the KissAsian request link, but ONLY use if you have a reeally strong ad-blocker, cuz KA has buggy & annoyingly NSFW ones: https://kissasian.sh/G/637923?l=https%3a%2f%2fkissasian.sh%2fRequestDrama

JAN08 UPDATE: There is a NEW request link for Viki!! xD https://support.viki.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034633713 (previous one is out-of-service)

AUG24 UPDATE: English site link - https://www.iq.com/play/19rrhyu6dd BUT the subs are still wonky "machine-translated" so fair warning ;P
