The subs seem fine. Average, at least. Saying this as someone who knows Korean. Just curious because of the complaints…
my only issue is when the subber used obvious lingo/slang they wanted to use. I think people would prefer more direct translations. Theres alot of “oppas” in there being used by the actresses too but it never popped up in the subs, at all. Overall not enough for me to get upset about but I can see why some may be irritated. I am more bothered when subs aren’t correct with English grammar or sentence structure (happens more in cdrama subs) where you are literally tripping over yourself mentally to follow the weird flow of the subs.
I enjoyed this drama, but would have enjoyed it more if not for the sanctimonious rubbish regarding the FL past…
I think yet again they are trying to call out the nonsense cancel culture of the celebrity industry in Korea/Asia. They have brought this on themselves imo by bowing to the fans, attempting to give them what they want and stupid fake “ownership” over celebrities lives. Let people date and love whoever the heck they want.
Oh this show is already giving me hangovers!! I flew through each episode, everything is awesome the cast is PERFECT, the OST is upbeat and just right for the scenes.. love having a strong FL who doesn’t bow to pressure and even when it happens (one time) there’s a solid reason for it and I think is needed for the final stretch of growth she needs mentally and emotionally.
This show is just fantastic and I can’t get enough. Will be a rewatch title for sure! 💕
I really wanted to love this despite the quirkiness of Japanese OST’s, I’m not really a fan of the way they do background music in their dramas. The music from the band was decent. The concept plot was not bad, and I was glad we don’t linger too long in the school environment.. but why did the FL always be silly happy in every scenerio she has the same silly happy behavior. For the scenes that required a bit of depth and seriousness, the ML brought and she’s just standing there being silly again. Didn’t come across as very genuine. Also, there was zero chemistry coming from her towards ML. He pulled off the mysterious looks in her direction, there was just a huge gaping hole here that is the responsibility of the director to capture. Like others have said, this idol industry is toxic. Lets enjoy bands singing and dancing and stop with the dumb rules that stop them from living their lives. Let them date. Let them live their young years. These toxic teens that can’t bear to see their bias in a relationship need to get past it already. They’ve created something very unhealthy in the asian celebrity industry that is not good for their society as a whole. Crazed fans getting to dictate who you can love.. ridiculous.
What a terrible show. I’ve watched half and can’t endure any more. Had high hopes based off others reviews, I’m not sure we are watching the same show or they need to find some better cdramas. They are out there guys!! Do yourselves a favor and watch Meet Yourself. There’s a slice of life cdrama done to perfection!!!
This drama is a head scratcher, how in the world is it getting such high marks. I tried and powered through 5…
Same. I waited for S2 to come out before I continued, but reviews are all over the place irritated at S2. I’m already wondering whether to continue and that sealed the deal.
Most people seemed to really dislike the FL in the first handful pf episodes and I would agree, its too much with no obvious reason for her behavior. It gets irritating. The good news is that does tail off and the story is overall good. It is so refreshing to have a cdrama romance without ridiculous controlling and nasty parents. So tired of grown adults being dictated to by a parent or 2 that acts like they are still a child who can’t make smart decisions.
My only wish would be they tone down the exhausting over analyzing of everything in the romance development and I would say what should have been a sweet moment between the leads is ruined by it. Sometimes writers we don’t need dumb overthinking- just spontaneous actions.
Wardrobe dropped a ball with FL, and ML did not need so much makeup. The few scenes w/o it he looked better.
A hilarious historical rom-com, with so much license being taken injecting modern elements- its just what the audience needs after a slew of dramas trying to be too serious and heavy. There’s a reason we love kdramas and thats for the escape factor and humor that is quintessential korean!! Though this show also has its dark and serious moments, they do not last, and we are given yet more slices of fun. The cast is perfect, especially the leads, and 2ML syndrome is bursting at the seams. The chemistry between the leads though is 🔥🔥 and will put giant smiles on your faces. A solid 10/10 and a welcome relief to start out the 2023 drama year!! A must watch, and certainly on the re-watch list. #swoon
What total and utter crap this pile of garbage show is. All the kissing scenes are cut, for no reason why-theres plenty chinese shows with amazing kiss scenes. There is zero plot. The comments on Viki are just frustrated with the lack of plot and full of “only here for Dylan” which tells you everything you need to know. Lol. If the lead had been someone less pleasing on their eye they’d not be hanging around or rating it as high. When you rate a poor show based on the fact you are attracted to the lead, then we have a big problem. Shows should be rated on their content, quality of writing, engagement factor etc.
There is very little in way of soundtrack. A handful of nice somgs but the rest is weird and odd sound effects.
The ONLY redeeming quality in this entire show are the fight scenes, but sadly theres not enough if them to save this hot mess of nonsense.
Don’t hold out for a good ending either. It’s not worth it. I can’t believe I kept hanging on for this.
LOL what a hilarious mess with the 2 male leads. This has to be the first time I have EVER rooted so hard for the second which I never do. Yeah sure you feel bad for them and all but something is just way off in the script, direction and casting here. Compatibility wise the FL & 2nd had all the chemistry and personality match, and he stayed solid throughout. The writers should have done a better job at convincing the audience of the reason why they fell in love in the first place, because you don’t get it until the last 5 min of the series. So so odd.
The suspense factor was a good add and surprising, but it needed to be wrapped way sooner than it did. That started to drag and quite frankly became annoying.
The side characters in the squad were great, as were the 2 moms relationship (again cementing the 2nd’s bond with FL) and that was a welcome addition to cross the wealth divide we usually are fed.
Too many idiotic plot issues and dumb tropes for no reason that I guess the writers have zero imagination. One of these days they’ll catch on that a show with positive energy and stellar storytelling means theres no need for daft tropes that don’t fit.
The show redeems itself with a good final episode for the cast, except for goodness sakes eith a time jump there was no need to do the dirty on 2ML. Do better.
