Sang-hyun was incredibly annoying and So-hyun deserves much better. They should have put Sang-hyun in Better Late Than Single instead, where Jae-yun could have taught him how to be a better ladies' man.
Nothing you haven't seen before many times. Except for Hye-kyo's friends. I've never seen such horrible friends in a Kdrama before. If my best friend did that to me, I'd be holding him by his ankles out the window while he begged for mercy.
Even though it was totally predictable and I was sick of the friends, I still made it through 8 episodes before dropping only because Hye-kyo was so charming and likable. I like this spunky Hye-kyo way better than the gloomy one I'm more familiar with.
Well Si-Eun doesn't go to jail for the fire extinguisher antics as he has that video of O-Beom beating Si-ho.…
Yeah, that part makes sense. But I was just thinking in general if this had been happening in my US high school, and students were getting beaten almost to death with broken bones and hospitalization on a weekly basis, there would be some kind of investigation with cops involved, and you wouldn't see the participants in class the next day.
So did I miss something or did not a single person die in this show? Every character is like the Terminator. They get beaten to a pulp over and over but they keep coming back. And what even is the point of having Soo-ho still be alive at the end after he stopped breathing for hours? The story would be no different if he had died, except that it would have been much more realistic and less manipulative in exchange for maybe limiting their sequel options. Also, how come no one goes to jail? And you only get kicked out of school if you go crazy with a fire extinguisher like the guy in Irreversible.
Did I miss the scene where they mentioned how they resolved the problem with Yun-seok's dad at the end? Or did they not even bother to tie up that loose end? Hopefully he died of a heart attack or was hit by a bus or something.
If it weren't for everything that happened after they confessed their love for each other, I would have rated this movie 2 additional stars. Also, Se-ri's wavy hair looked very cute and made her stand out from the other girls.
I don't understand the ending. Why wasn't Hyun-ji in the village? The ending seems to imply that Hyun-ji is at a different village. But wouldn't Hyun-ji have disappeared because her body was found? And why would that girl, who's a ghost, be able to interact with Wook and Jang when they can no longer see ghosts?
These are just a few of the sloppy, poorly thought-out plot points that really detracted from my experience and made me enjoy this much less than most.
My takeaway from this drama is that Eun-jung is a pushover. Also, there were parts that were very well-crafted and realistic, but then there were other parts, like all these ridiculous coincidences where everyone is connected to each other, that were cheesy. And they went too far with the tear-jerking in the last couple of episodes. It just made me cringe because I wasn't feeling it, since I didn't believe that one of the characters deserved anyone's sympathy. She just remained a selfish psychopath to the very end.
Despite all this, there was some great material here. I think if you went through all the footage and re-edited it into a 2-hour movie, cutting away all the nonsense and hard-to-believe stuff, you could have a really excellent and emotionally mature product.
