Yes.

There were a lot of holes in the ending. Everything was resolved too easily, as you mentioned like a Kdrama, when the overall tone of the film was supposed to be pretty dark.

Thank you! :D

This is the only show where seeing 50 episodes makes me excited. I wish the duration of the episodes were longer too.

This is an awesome article! Thank you for the detailed cinematic analysis.

Glad to see some of my favorite actors / actresses on this list. Himizu was an interesting film. I like these genres as well, food for thought.

I'll check them out! Thanks for the recommendation. :)

I definitely liked the friendship between the male leads. All four main casts members had good chemistry with each other. I just think that they made the second male's career a prosecutor to add more crime and mystery to into the plot, but those areas seemed pretty lacking. It's more of a romcom than anything else.

I tried to watch, but I don't think any of the episodes after the first one was subtitled.

I was thought it might have crude humor based on the movie poster on Netflix, but I was pleasantly surprised how cute and fun this movie is.

I liked that the couple got together early on in the drama, and the male lead isn't particularly cold and rude toward the female lead as a lot of other male leads I've seen. The lead couple is pretty cute. It's more of a rom-com / melodrama. I wouldn't expect much in the way of mystery and investigation. Even though I thought the prosecutor second male was cute, the writers should have made his character a bit smarter instead of being lead around by the mathematician male lead . I found that to be the most unbelieveable.

Yes! I watched the opening credits a lot more than other dramas b/c the OST is so good.

I was kinda intrigued but overall pretty boring & Park Shin Yang could not act here.

Happy New Year :)

I watch the rest of the movie on gooddrama.

We find out that the letter from the husband of an older woman Muko had an affair with before he met Tsuma. This woman was an artist who drew intricate pictures of birds and reminded him of Miss Papers (?) from when he was younger. The tattoo on his back from the beach scene is from one of the pictures she drew for him. The husband wanted him to help comfort his wife b/c she was having a hard time grieving over their young daughter who had passed. Apparently Muko's book had helped her a lot when she was first struggling with the passing of their daughter. Muko went to Tokyo to comfort the older woman by showing the tattoo on his back and told her that he had realized the bird that she had drawn had not given up on flying, but had curled it's wings in hopes of flying again. (something like that). These words seem to help her as she went to hug her husband. Tsuma knows all about this story b/c Muko wrote it for her to read in his diary. & The whole time Tsuma is hoping for Muko's return. In narration, Muko says that all along he was in love with Tsuma and goes back to her. They enjoy their quiet life together again.

The last episode was so interesting, I wish the drama had been completed - there's so many questions left to be answered. Yoo Bi & Woo Bin's love story dragged a lot.

Wow, I didn't expect the movie to be so heavy with all the light-hearted teasers and interviews that I watched. Even though most of the characters were dipicted 2-dimensionally, I appreciate the deeper messages and themes that the director wanted to express.

sad ending

The Korean version was interesting, but I think it missed underlying heart-warming message this movie was sending.

It's on gooddrama.to
