I had high expectations tbh and the premise was great but they lacked in delivery

she confessed when she wanted to without feeling inferior because he is so "loved/popular", she told him to stop when she didn't want to get confused by his actions, she refused the handkerchief that made her feel uncomfortable becasue it's a sign he's holding on to the 2fl, she told him she'd give him time but she also confronted him when he seemed too entangled with his love triangle, and even when he heavily denied the rumors of them dating that she was hurt, she still asked him about it like a normal mature person because she didn't want to harbor misunderstandings or self doubt. and well, beside him not opening up faster to her which is a sign the writers need some conflict, he is also clear about the things she ask and he explains his actions well.

these things are such simple actions but most dramas take any of that and twist it so they'd have any sort of conflict...

I hate the writer using the love triangles but atleast she made great realistic characters, Song Ah looks timid but she can talk and express herself well! honestly it seems like a simple thing but in every romance drama the fls freeze while the ml does "romantic" stuff or she feels so self conscious that she doubts herself 1st before even trying to understand the situation

happy jongdae day~

indeed, I'd have not watched kkondae intern or mystic pop up bar this year if it weren't for mdl friends, these kinds of finds are always the best ;)
and I have into the ring in my radar becasue of you ;p

awww she looks so much maturer ;) I'll miss young amber though ;(

indeed, amber felt like an after thought but she was 100x better than all the messed up plot lines they have, I just hope she comes back, sees how miserable hwan is making himself, slap some sense into him then leave and hopefully hwan follows ;)

that just feels like a cheap bow out so they don't have to deal with the past changing the future

atleast they could say it's becasue of money xD

I do like the actors, most of them actually, but I knew this was trouble when I saw that it was done by the Doctors writer, that person does not know how to writer a female character ;/

though I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt the uneven and unnecessaryness of the families

indeed, though I'm practically skipping all ongoing dramas now becasue they are just so many same old same old fillers, but with this I only kept the scenes of the 2 mains together and that was like 5min.

and I LIKE family genres but I did not get their point here

I did like their chemistry but I feel like the writer decided to play it safe. oh how I just wish for 2 same aged mains to meet randomly and fall in love naturally but no there always needs to be a past encounter/connection ;(

is that a mr sunshine gif I see! I miss them ;(

indeed I was happy when she said I hear that alot, atleast she's not linking it to "love" but then they throw in the "no one ever said that to me" and that just ruins the game

I can't stop laughing xD
1st of all the fl is TOXIC and self centered, and now even hwan is toxic, crazy and obsessed and they add that over makjang end, I really can't xD
though it's barely halfway through so I can assume how much more makjang this will get...

everything they say contradicts their personality, they keep changing their minds every 2second just to fit the plot, honestly I feel bad for the actors. plus no amber for 4eps ;(

my short interpretation of this would be a modern 21st century love story that is still stuck in a super duper cliche mold?
the worst point of this is throwing every possible cliche arc on the fl.... people randomly hate her, she cries and blames herself, she never dated before, and she is "sad" ;/ (and that was all in one ep!)
plus the ml is being possessive already? "don't drink with other men becasue you look cute".. ;/

and every character beside the 2 mains is a filler

in train they had such different lives in each universe so each decision made a huge difference, and though they were so unlike their counterparts they treated them like the "travelers" treated them like the same person.
here they are not showing anything beside 1 universe and 1 parasite (ie alice). so even if they say "the past is not the same person" we can't really relate. they feel like the same people following the same exact pattern with minor changes because of alice.


Alice is using this Jin Gyum world as a dumping ground for their evil corporate scheme to gain money and power while they ruin time and space quantum by adding more and more universes, tbh I feel like if a project like that exists they would ban time traveling just becasue it ruins the balance of the world..

either way I think the future world would be more interesting, the power and the struggle, the need of the people who pay to time travel as if it was a drug to relive and change the past they can't touch......
right now, Jin Gyum world is just another boring world against an evil corporation with flashy guns and nothing more...

circle was lower production but better writing

great article❤
being in a slump I find short films a great source of entertainment with minimal commitment, I've seen several on this list thanks to penel's list and I'll make sure to watch the rest too ;D

that's sad, it was the only cdrama I wanted to watch ;(

the 3eps I watched were enough for me to get their point and I prefer female centered plots anyway so ;D

I'm team Amber and Hwan ;)

YESS, glad team amber is thriving ;D

I wish they don't end up together but with this writer we really can't tell xD
