At this point, I hate Yeol. The only redemption this drama could possibly have for me is if Minki finally appears…
Even if Yeol is just unbearable and can be a red flag. He's clearly the only one who has incredible chemistry with Bani. Roh Jeong Eui and Lee Chae Min have great chemistry t
I've seen the trailer and it looks just as incredible as I like it. Action, fighting and a huge cast. I don't know the roles here but I'm pretty sure that actor "Heo Joon Ho" has another villain role and he's just incredible in this genre.
The OST in the epilogue where they're sitting in the gym and LJY is holding her arm, it sounds like the voice of my fairy "Kei" (Lovelyz) I feel like it's her.
We talk a lot about LJY being too funny and I agree but do we talk about FL's sister's boyfriend? He was already too funny in "Boyhood" and here the can where we see him I can't stop laughing, he's so funny, his manner, his face, he's too funny 🤣
Lee Jun Young is just too funny, I can't stop laughing it's impossible not to laugh. The best moments are when he does his weird smile 😭😭. I also laughed so hard when he said to the FL "Here, I'll pass you my evening meal" and I saw the meal 😂😂😂
Some of them are actually quite funny. I see a lot of "Not for me again, too cliché" comments, but sorry, you have to read the synopsis, look at the cast and the poster. The Koreans release a lot of dramas like this and I think it's cool, it allows new actors to show their talent, often in cute dramas with beautiful ost and visuals. It's these clichéd scenes that make us love kdramas (for me). Lots of cute scenes like, catching up with the FL and then having a shy eye game or even running in the rain putting your jacket over the FL, lots of cute scenes like that.
I don't know, but this drama isn't really working for me. The main lead's acting feels meh, and I am not sensing…
On the contrary, this is his second kdrama and first as a lead after just two dramas, and frankly, he's doing really well. I know lots of people who take on lead roles and are 0. Of course, he's not an incredible actor, but he's with two other actors who aren't really incredible, even though they're more experienced. In my opinion, he's not put aside by the level of the others, I find that everyone's acting is at their level.
1st episode I loved it. I can't say it often enough, but this kind of clichéd college/high school kdrama with a band and cute boys and cute girls, I could never get enough of it. Especially since most of the time it offers us magnificent OST and scenery. I have a good feeling about this kdrama.
Not you comparing it to When The Stars Gossip! Good Boy has the Life on Mars writer—this isn’t just some flashy…
I got to know Kim So Hyun with the kdrama "School 2015" then I took a break from kdramas and saw him again in a guest role in the amazing kdrama "When You Where Sleeping" where I loved him in it. Then there was the horrible Love Alarm season 1 and 2 but she bounced back with the magnificent kdrama "The Tale Of Nokdu" which is for me her best kdrama to date. I haven't watched "River Where The Moon Rises" because it's not the kind of kdrama I like and frankly it doesn't look very good.
Incredibly, he fits the role perfectly. Pale skin, dark hair. He fits the role of pastor perfectly, honestly. He's 100% sure to accept. It's great to see him doing kdrama after kdrama.
