Its frustrating Gil Chae still is in love with Yeon Jun, while refusing to admit her feelings for Jang Hyun. But i get it, she must have been in love with Yeon Jun for at least a few years, when you feel strongly for someone (not just a crush ) the love for person wont dissapear in a short time … we have to remember that since the start to now it hasnt been many months. Someone you love , the love wont go away in justa few monhs. Jang Hyun plz have a little patience, dont be like Rhett ”Frankly my dear i dont give a Damn “ xD but yeah it’s annoying Gil Chae still obsesses over a guy who has never done anything for her when she should be obsessing over Jane Hyun instead who risked a LOT for her. But yeah , first love is hard to forget
Wow, how didn’t I know about this drama until today?? I was on youtube and accidently saw that ’Marcus here!’ had posted a new video where headline said ”Sunshine By My Side passes review”
I was like oh well maybe lets go and see what its about on MDL . So when I came to this Sunshine By My Side page and read the plot and tag I was immediately hooked. I love more experienced/mature/older FLs, noona romances is something I love :) and cool that its about a divorced woman (I’m supposing its her who is divorced?) doesn’t sound like your typical cliche modern romance chinese drama, at least to me. I hope this drama will be mature and have at least decent skinship (hopefully a lot of them!) i’m definitely watching this… :)
The Princess man’ Its old tho (2011) but it has aged well. Joseon version of Romeo and Juliet , very intense…
He became sooo hot when he became an outcast , with his sexy long hair showing now freely (not hidden by those hats anymore) and him in dark none-noble clothes *swoon*
Queen in Hyun's man, it has one of the best (and real life at that time) couples, great performances and interesting…
I totally agree about this , up to this date they are one of my alltime favorite drama couples.
They treat each other with respect already from day 1, and it’s just so cute and wholesome how they fall in love. Their relationship is built on love , trust, respect , loyalty… they banter , flirt , have a lots of swoon worthy skinship (they definitely don’t shy away from it, doesn’t feel the slightest childish )! For a drama from 2012… this is up to date still one of the healthiest and most mature couples in kdramaland .. especially since 2012 when a looot of dramas still had toxic couples, but QIHM was anything but toxic (in fact it’s FL’s ex bf who is the toxic one) ML , from a time with no women rights, was way more respectful / none pushy than many modern day MLs in dramaland. Chemistry is amazing but no wonder since the actors dated each other IRL too for a a while :) Ahh, wonderful drama in whole tho not as ”high quality” as Goblin, perhaps :)
Does anyone have recommendations for similar dramas based on the romantic development and the depth of the story?
The Princess man’
Its old tho (2011) but it has aged well. Joseon version of Romeo and Juliet , very intense drama. For me its my fav historical romance drama , but there is a big chance My Dearest will take TPM’s place for me… i watched TPM first time same year it aired , and until now its still unbeatable for me , but as I Said …that might change (after 13 years …)
No but many other guys has a crush on her because of her beauty. The SML tho I think felt for a minute attracted to her , as they were about to kiss but he stopped in last second . He’s not in love with her, the one he loves is the SFL (and SFL loves him too)
Gosh by now I’m so in love with Jang Hyun, such a complex but wise/realistic character, he is not some idealist, which I love. Namkoong min this is my first drama of him , and definitely not my last! This guy might not be some classic pretty oppa looking boy, but he is sexy here and so manly !! And i feel for his character here so much more than for many other MLs in other historical dramas even if they have those super pretty youthful faces. I think i prefer MLs like Jang Hyun, with mature faces that show they been through a lot and know how life works realistically, they don’t try to sugarcoat anything
What worries me is that since this is split into 2 parts, part 2 might not Do as well in viewership/ratings …if it will take about 1 month until part 2 airs (which is pretty long time) some people might have lost interest in this drama and moved on to other dramas instead , or simply forgot about this drama. . I’m not sure dividing this into 2 parts is so smart?? But at the end of the day , the makers of this drama know What they are doing I guess, and they have concluded that doing part 2 with 1 month waiting is the best option
I just love How this drama is not obsessed about having the actors look pretty no matter what even during wars, the make up artists did great making the actors look dirty/ messy during the tough times, so realistic! No way people looked like pretty dolls with perfect shiny skin, fresh clean beautiful hair and being full of make up during wars.
Edit; oh i received the big talker badge xD i really have talked a lot about this drama here lol , I received it immediately after posting this comment here
I'm gonna be honest. The trailer is disappointing compared to the book promotion one. It just looks cheap and…
I’m also dissapointed. The book trailers looked way better , more raw and gritty with full of emotions and sexual tension.. the book trailers made me feel so many things , the chemistry and intensity took my breath way …but the trailers with the recast actors make me feel… empty :/ but i’m still holding hope that it’ll be much better than i expected
Them dropping the title when Ryang Eum is saying he would not mind dying if it's together with Jang Hyun is the…
The way you write and are able to express yourself in such a masterpiece way - wow ! You should become a author or something … i could never in million years write as good as you
I havent started watching it as i dont enjoy historical dramas... The only two i enjoyed were queens umbrella…
Not too much Palace politics , since the main leads are not of royalty. But its still there yes, because of war. I don’t think there exist one single Joseon drama without politics talk …
This drama is very good from the start , but its in ep 4 i fell completely in love with this drama. I was holding my breath from start to finish, That’s how good ep 4 was , I didnt want it to end! For me , so far this drama is a 10/10 of high quality with acting on the best level (meaning no idol actors …. Not that all idol actors are bad at acting ,there are great ones too Ofc , but many are pretty mediocre at acting ) .. this is a serious TRUE historical Kdrama , not a youth fusion :)
So…. My Dearest is somewhat a bit based on Gone with the Wind. Would be cool if they made a Kdrama somewhat based on Outlander 🔥 that sure is a epic show about a english Woman in 1940s (she knows about medicine and how to treat People from serious injuries ) who travels to the past, to 1700s Scottland! But its eh very explicit , so i think only channels such as OCN or Tving would be able to do it justice.because less censorship.
Anyways the first thing i Do tmr morning is watch ep 6 of My Dearest ❤️
I cannot wait to see Gil Chae soften up to Jang Hyun (be more gentle) in later episodes, for her to admit her feelings for him and let go of her pride ❤️ But Ofc, i don’t expect her to become obedient and submissive towards him (i don’t want her to ever become like that) she Will still be sassy towards him i believe :) just not as harsh/mean lol
I love this drama! I hope Yeon Jun will eventually stop being so obsessed about the safety of king etc, I know his fierce loyalty to the country wont ever stop and That’s fine but I wish it will be less of obsession and see more of his love /worrying for those left behind , Eun Ae and others
I love the main couple but I wish later their fighting Will tone down a bit xD sometimes the fighting gets a bit ugly. I wish for some lovey dovey moments between them , and that lasts like that and wont be ruined by them fighting again lol .. i Do love their banter tho :) and i loved when Jang Hyun was proud of Chil Gae for killing that awful man, he wasn’t disgusted or anything , like ”omg how could a Woman Do this!? That’s horrible!!” The preview of ep 6 looks so intense ! Omg. And there is definitely not something right with the crown prince , he’s suspicious
”On August 18, the new historical romance drama starring Namgoong Min and Ahn Eun Jin soared to its highest ratings yet. According to Nielsen Korea, the fifth episode of “My Dearest” took first place in its time slot with an average nationwide rating of 8.4 percent, marking an impressive jump of 3.2 percent from its previous episode last week.”
How's this drama so far? What's the identity of this mysterious man? King? Or...? Waiting till it ends to start
The drama is excellent so far- ep 4 was a masterpiece! The plot, cinematography, acting - all amazing ! We don’t know yet the indentity of the ML… Anyways this is a REAL historical Kdrama (not a Youth fusion that are mostly acted by kpop singers ) so this is more dark and serious/mature
