yeah Japanese entertainment was not made for you.so, GET AWAY!No one force you to watch it.
Im sorry but if his comments are bad, yours are too. Did you just generalise an entire country of population 245 million because of one idiot?! Im reporting your comment as well. How dare you
Although the series was good but because I watched the youth of may a few days ago it was difficult for me to…
I mean they aren't biological siblings. Aren't related in anyway. I always felt monster cha hyunsoo had chemistry with eunyoo but regular hyunsoo did not. While eun hyuk and eunyoo had chemistry even though they play step siblings
Same here, i watched the anime back when it was still airing, watched the kdrama version back in 2015 or 2016 (it was my first kdrama) and never knew of this one! Watched it recently and is definitely worth the hype. I thought i had outgrown such storylines (im more into dark psychological thrillers now that im nearly 30) but this was somehow nostalgic and enjoyable. I think i understood some things better now that im more mature whereas before i would usually just cringe over their relationship
I avoided this for years after playful kiss despite people saying this was better. Well everyon was right, this…
Also i really liked how this version had all these subtle hints to show when exactly naoki began to harbor feelings for kotoko. For example, whenever the two families would make a toast, you could see kotoko trying to clink her glass with naoki but him always avoiding it. Somewhere along the way (and i had to slow the video down to see it) you see naoki no longer avoid her glass and even actively clink his with hers. You can tell that is when he begins to soften towards her. There's also moments when you note that his eyes are trained on kotoko when she's not aware of it. I don't believe any other adaptation has played around with such subtleties and i liked it. Plus in this adaptation you can actually understand why naoki fell for kotoko because exaggerated expressions aside, miki honoka is incredibly adorable as kotoko. You can sort of understand why naoki would find her endearing and hard to resist because despite retaining the "dumb" aspect of kotoko's character, miki honoka adds her own touch to make the character charming instead of annoying. I'd argue that kotoko isnt useless or dumb because she literally accomplishes everything she puts her mind to. She just gets distracted easily. I mean if a week of training with naoki can result in her returning a professional tennis player's serve, imagine what she could achieve if she were to truly put her mind to it. She gets into nursing school, passes the exam on her own (naoki was in kobe when she was preparing for it). She gets into the top 100 chart during highschool despite being from class F. My girl ain't dumb, she just has different priorities 🤣
I avoided this for years after playful kiss despite people saying this was better. Well everyon was right, this is definitely better. It has a surprising amount of depth to it. The FL can be a little....jarring but I got used to it. I think you have to reach a certain level of maturity and certain age to truly appreciate this story. The ML is not a red flag. Neither is the FL. They are just two very different individuals. One feels too little. The other feels too much. One has no trouble with expressing herself, the other has never expressed himself before he met her. They are a truly balanced pair and to see them mature from season 1 to season was a delightful experience. I watched the anime a looooooong time ago when i was a mere teen so i dont remember it well. And even then i could not watch it in its entirety because at that time it was still airing and so it was difficult to find all episodes. But im glad they changed certain things from the anime in this live action. Im not gonna argue with anyone who thinks the ML is awful or that the FL does not deserve him and is useless. Im just gonna tell them to maybe watch it in their later lives and see how their opinion holds. I know mine is very different from how it was when i first saw the anime
Is anyone else bothered by how mikoto was very forward in the strawberry scene? Those who have read the manga will know what i mean..she was really flustered and wasnt as chill about it as she was in the show. Girlie was blushing hard throughout this part in the manga. While here she seemed to shyly back away and then be like okay whatever no big deal..kinda bothered me.
Im curious about how the drama is doing in Japan. We usually know with kdramas but i don't know how to check how well a jdrama is doing. Mainly because if it does well, we can hope for a season 3 too
*sigh* yet another excellent drama rendered terrible because (for reasons best knows to the makers) the final episode opens up a pandora box. And there is no season 2 in sight.... Im gonna stop watching disney + and amazon prime kdramas. Because there's never a season 2 and there's never a proper a conclusion....
I honestly see potential here. No really, hear me out:Keep the basic plotline the same but tweak certain things:(Spoilers…
1) haruka should have knows from the beginning that setoka and him were not related. 2) instead of giving haruka that one cringey line "i wont forgive if you make my sister cry" that he repeats over and over again, show him as a someone who does things from the background. Like manipulating things in a way that the potential suitors are revealed in their true nature and THEN he can do the beating up etc 3) setoka can stay her boy crazy self (ive been friends with girls who ignore all warninh signs and fall for red flags so it's possible). But show the process of why she fell in love first. Red flags usually dont reveal themselves early on. They love bomb and stuff and then show their true nature. So we could see her being wooed and stuff. So that we actually sympathise with her when she is dumped since its reasonable for her to fall for them. 4) dont just end it with a confession. I expected there to be more angst around them realising their feelings. More denial on setoka's part atleast. Then have them confess. And after confession i expected there to be a little more of the "fighting for their love" scenario. I guess i wanted to see more of them as true couple facing obstacles.
Stop digging a deeper hole for yourself.
