I hate the fact that the drama was advertised/classified as a BL because their relationship was portrayed of being really good friends more than lovers.It felt like watching two guys who became best friends (Soulmates) due to their life experiences and they never judged each other's life's choices.Granted Johan was gay while Ryu wasn't exactly sure of himself after he was confessed too by his teammate.I want to say the drama was more of Johan's growth but the stunt he pulled in distancing himself from Ryu the person he truly loved just pissed me off.I hate characters like Johan....who despite being seen in a vulnerable state by the one person whom they truly cherish choose a path that hurts both of them when a life changing event occurs.Ryu on the other hand,did he really find happiness in life cause he quit ice hockey something he did and enjoyed since he was a kid, despite graduating he got a job that was exhausting mentally, emotionally and physically.Then the person who seemed to have a connection with him 'broke up' with him in a disrespectful way then he joins his dad's company and planned to marry someone he wasn't romantically interested in.To be honest Ryu never got his happy ending.
This should have been a longer drama, cause what do you mean we spent the whole drama for them to finally be on the same page about how they feel about each other,and just a couple of scenes of them being a couple being show in ending credits.They could have given us an episode of them in their dating era outside school.
To be honest the ending of the drama caught me off guard because i thought it was a 16 episode drama.Granted the production scale was huge and probably with a high budget but when the queens' father was arrested in episode 11 i thought we'll be dealing with the prime minister as a villain for the rest of 5 episodes while I-An as a king tries to uncover the truth about his mums' or brothers' death.Also we never got to know who attempted to kill Huiji by tampering with her car and also who hired and murdered the person who tampered with her car.I was abit disappointed we were never shown how I-An got to know the king and Huiju were in a car that has lost control.That car accident story was never picked up again.The spy chic planted by the queen confessed in the poisoning incident but who leaked the marriage contract and how did the queen get her hands on a copy of it,we were left to assume the culprit for that incident.These are some of the plot holes i just can't reconcile in my mind.
Having enjoyed the chemistry of the actors,there was certain storylines i could not reconcile after the show ended and would love opinions both from fellow watchers and those who read the novel.Was him being her spell bearer only special because of the exchange of senses? Coz what was the point of him being special if he still faced backlash of the exchange? Also felt like his sword was greatly under-utilized considering it was given the impression it was a mighty sword that chose him yet in the last battle with the spirit army it didn't do much. Considering Yan Ke was a spirit with the obsession of power it did not make sense he was hesitant on not killing Simu coz he did not have a heart so how was he in love with her? Had they portrayed him obsessed with her cause of the power she possessed or willed it would make more sense.Someone please enlighten me on these.
The usual love story of boy meets girl... they fall in love with each other but break up due to life happening,years later with a chance encounter they reconnect and reminisce about the past.One of them ends up asking the other the 'if' question.IF i stopped you...IF i tried...IF i got into the train...IF i had done this or that, 'Would we still be together?' I am of the opinion if two people love each other they whether the ups and downs together,and the reality is that love only is not enough to sustain a relationship.It was an okay watch, nothing profound about it.
A very good watch and honestly a sad ending...I just kept questioning myself why couldn't Bullfighter approach the old lady and tell him he was the son he once took care of cause they had a good relationship when he was younger.
Initially i couldn't pinpoint what was wrong with the movie but after trying to write i review i finally figured it out,there was no protagonist in the show.The whole movie is about people living in the 'illegal' side of life...at no point was there any police not necessarily to make arrest or conduct an investigation.There were people killed, fraud case,large sum of money up for grabs,drugs, blackmail....and there was no single police to make things interesting,a self righteous police trying to do the right thing or dirty police blackmailing or trying to get in the action.To me this was just average with NO rewatch value.
Mainly watched this cos of the packed cast (Kim Sungcheol has my heart) it wasn't that bad but it wasn't that…
I had the same thoughts,thwn as i was discussing this movie with someone we came to the conclusion because there was no protagonist to give us suspense or thriller the movie was just flat.
I did not like the female lead....why bother with a guy who you clearly see is a walking red flag.Why acknowledge he is not good for you but still choose him.This was a tough watch honestly.
I randomly stumbled upon this movie in a streaming site and it was am amazing watch.I don't know why there aren't edits of it which is a shame,give it a try and you won't be disappointed.
I don't know why Yu Bin did this project,he had good ones in the year but this one honestly was crappy...it might be for the paycheck but surely you can't build your brand with stellar performances then decide to close the year with a bad production.It was soo bad despite it being short i had to drop it....i couldn't endure it.It was not worth it.
Considering Yan Ke was a spirit with the obsession of power it did not make sense he was hesitant on not killing Simu coz he did not have a heart so how was he in love with her?
