I like Woo do Hwan but I won't be watching this drama. I got spooled so I'm more interested now. I had reached here and when I saw it was Netflix. I knew right away and even before it came out I put a message that the episodes will come out all at once. How is it possible to finish a 10 episode drama in not even 1 day? Doesn't anyone work? I just don't get it.
I fucking hate kdramas that come out straight away, and I didn't miss it again. I just typed the name of the drama into Google to go to the Mdl page and boom I get spooled. I just hate it.
On the plus side, Sejeong and Jong Won are such a good match that they could be a couple in real life. Plus I really like the actor Jong Won, I hope he'll have some funny scenes because he was really funny in "Bad Memory Eraser". I don't like it when he plays too serious a role.
The 10-year time jump seems so incoherent and it's such a shame. For me, a time jump of 4-5 years would have been better. Especially since here we have a 10. year jump but it clearly feels like 0 major changes. I agree that Koreans and Asians age well, but any ethnic group that goes from 17 to 27 changes physically. It feels like the biggest change is just that the uniform has been tucked away in the Ahjussi lmaoo closet. Not to mention the two ahjussi who haven't moved a muscle and are still working and not retired. Frankly, the time jump doesn't make any sense. That's why I keep saying that 10 years was far too long. In fact, they deliberately used the excuse that San Ha goes to Seoul and Hae Jun to the United States to introduce the 10-year leap. In any case, I honestly hope we'll see flashbacks of Haejun playing basketball in the USA and how he got along with his father there. Although I doubt we'll see that.
I still have trouble with the actress who plays "Ju won", I really don't think she has an incredible acting style. I don't understand why, but I've seen 2-3 comments from Koreans and everyone thinks she's incredible. I don't have that impression. I don't find her sequences memorable or even her facial expressions. I even think her chemistry with San Ha isn't great. Hae Jun and Dal's chemistry is much more interesting and better on screen. People prefer Ju won's chemistry thanks to Hwang In Yeop and it was the same with True Beauty. You had one camp for In Yeop and another for Eun Woo and even though the actors could be bad, just because they're considered good-looking people find their chemistry incredible.
What can I say about these first two episodes? Honestly not great, I don't have the impression that we're going for something spectacular like the last drama of the same genre with Ji Chang Wook. I'm talking about Worst of Evil, which for me was just so so amazing. The Ji Chang Wook/ Wi Ha Joon duo had the flow they had.
Je ne sais pas si quelqu'un l'a mentionné ici, mais la ville où Dal et Juwon vivent est-elle la même ville où vit son père, ou est-ce une autre ville ? Parce que j'ai entendu le nom de la ville Hae Dong, mais avant le saut dans le temps, nous n'avons jamais entendu le nom de la ville où il vivait ? Et de quelle ville s'agit-il en Corée, parce que j'ai l'impression que c'est un nom fictif. Uptade: So it's the same town where he went to high school but is it just me or did I never hear the name of the town in the drama?
I've been watching kdramas for quite a long time and I know the actor Bae Hyun Sung from the drama Our Blues and Dear M but I didn't know he was that good. I didn't find him exceptional in Dear M. I have the impression since Gyeongseong S2 and now with Family By Choice his career is going to take a huge turn. One thing's for sure: from now on, he'll only play leading roles.
The time gap felt unrealistic. It would be way better with 5/6 years though. As the time passed shown in the drama,…
Exactly, that's the first thing I felt too. 10 years apart for 0 changes apart from Ju Won's father's moustache. The colors for Hae Jun, Juwon. Otherwise there are 0 changes, and that's often the case in kdramas where there are jumps in time but 0 major changes.
The captian's family knows Tae Sang from the 1940s, they are from the same neighborhood as the grandmother and…
I'd completely forgotten this detail. It's true Seung Jo is the son of the woman who gave birth in the cell at the end of season 1. Thank you, I remember now.
I find the episodes far too short, episode 10 wasn't even 1 hour long. In the teaser for the next episodes, we can clearly see Haejun's mother talking to Juwon's father. I think we're heading in the same direction as in the Cdrama, i.e. a couple to be expected between the two.
Episode 9 was super sad and we heard it again: Beyond The Sunrise, it's the greatest OST. I don't know who sings it, I've tried everything, it's impossible to know.
I honestly need more drama like this where we have almost only women in the cast, like damn the way I'm enjoying…
The cast is really incredible too, and even with this cast. Kim Tae Ri is legendary compared to the others who are just as good. Otherwise, there's another drama coming soon, set in 2025, with all women, and featuring Lee Hyeri and Kang Hyewon. It's called Friendly Rivalry.
