how's this series so far?should I start this or not?
I highly recommend. It's a very tightly written revenge rom-com, there is not a scene wasted. The protagonists are easy to root for, and the antagonists are fun to hate. It's a straightforward watch and really, a breath of fresh air. I usually drop rom-coms (I have a low tolerance for nonsense, misunderstandings and bad writing) but this drama is really a stand-out for its genre.
Today's episode was amazing! 🧨🔥❤️🔥 So satisfying!Btw, did Yang Jo Ran also come from the future?…
I haven't read the webtoon, but I am 100% certain he will not die. This is not a tragedy. There aren't even echoes of tragedy, and honestly, I think his death would completely destroy everything the narrative has built so far.
"Unfortunately, I don't think this drama is for me." you can't say it if you don't pass the first ep, 'cause that…
Hm. But it's not slow and boring. It's a mess because it tries to do too many things at once - too much happens. It does a poor job setting up the scene.
It is painfully obvious that the story is from a webtoon that is not well adapted to this new media. The ML is a good actor. My problem is the writer. And maybe the director, but I'm not as familiar with directing as I am story construction. First impressions are essential - they must introduce the characters, the setting, the themes, the conflicts that will persist for the entire narrative, all in a coherent manner. The first episode, while chronological, did not, to me, feel coherent.
Good for you that you were able to enjoy what this drama had to offer. I wrote this small negative comment because I wasn't going to stick around long enough to be able to write a balanced review.
Episode 4 was the most fun. Tbh, I don't really care that much for the FL. She's just not compelling (I don't hate the actress, but I don't love her either, I do think she wasn't well casted, if she needs to pass as a man sometimes though) but the ML is wonderfully complex. The actor is really carrying this drama for me. And the 2ML is actually more interesting than I expected as well - I don't think I'll like his character, but that's beside the point.
I wanted to like this drama. But the first episode was all over the place. It took me 3 tries to even finish it. Unfortunately, I don't think this drama is for me.
Coffee Prince is the only kdrama I have seen where the girl really looked and behaved like a boy… That was believable
For all its flaws, King's Affection does a pretty convincing job. (Park Eun Bin is a brilliant actor, she carried that show)... This drama does not do a good job, but I have seen worse.
