When you begin a movie with a Chinese Hara Kiri you will get my whole attention.
The movie was great, and I don't really like Wuxia genre I actually quite hate it so this coming from me says something ~
Still, I didn't like everything about it of course, but since I'm not a fan of the genre I can't state what bothers because these things are the essence of Wuxia ~~
the long duration time, 2 and a half hours ware a tad too much for me so I watched this in two settings, it had a strong beginning but generally the first hour was slow, it picks up from the middle onwards ~
Overall interesting and enjoyable ~~

It's a typical Cinderella revenge story but with a small twist, giving it some refreshing vibes and I have to say they really done it very well, considering the story that was done a billion times before ~~
First I have two things that I noticed and I somehow couldn't unsee
1. Sung Hoon's eyes, there is something wrong with his eye lids, they were obviously asymmetrical with one wider than the other with double lid in the first few EPs and I don't know if I got used to them or if they fixed it with make up or if he had a condition that was cured but I kinda didn't notice them in the later EPs unless I specifically focus on his eyes, the weird thing is, the FL also had some scenes that her eyes looked asymmetrical too, and I'll be damned but I also noticed the same thing with Do Gum secretary albeit less obvious.
2. This is quite irrelevant but I think the Kim bomi in the cast is a different Kim bomi that played the psychiatrist ~~

Back to the main point, I generally liked it and everyone specifically lee min young were amazing ~~

While I feel really excited to watch this and I liked the trailer, I wished it didn't have a love triangle.
I somehow wish we could have a new different subgenre in romance that doesn't include having two people loving one person at the same time, I don't think it's common IRL and it's really tiring to watch.
be that as it may, I'd definitely give it a go before judging it ~~

Oohh!! I'm scared now, oh please don't down vote me, I can't live knowing someone out there has down voted my comment on MDL ~
😂😂

This was waaaay better than the main drama, yet much worse end ~~
I wish they reversed the ends for both dramas , Nao and Deno are great together ~

This was all over the place in a very bad way, the first 4 eps gave me headache!! So I skimmed through the rest ~
The ML need to get his mind straight before anything and the time line is confusing af, like thile series is covering about 6-7 years of their relationship, they look exactly the same and I don't understand how 4 years can go by and everything and everyone's feelings stays the same~~
I just, I won't waste another minute talking about this, it's just ain't worth it ~

Well, if you watched the drama you will know that the last game between GiHoon and SangWoo is called "squid game" which also the very first game played by the kids in the very first few scenes of the whole show ~~

NGL the reason I watched this is because my brother kept bugging me about it, and blame me for having high expectations but this one was a let down ~~
It's not a bad drama per se nor is it boring, it's actually very good but the amount of unanswered questions are too many to ignore and I can't rely on a still don't exist second season to answer them ~
Acting was top notch! I mean, one look at the cast and you'll know that you are in for a treat, and the games, in their simplicity lies the trick ~~
On the other hand, you finish the series feeling too exhausted and emotionally drained because of how stressful everything was, add the slightly open ending to the equation and not only you'll be tired after finishing it, you will also keep overthinking about the whole thing ~

So basically for me it's not bad because it's badly done, but it's bad because of how I felt while and after watching it ~

Oh my!! Tor and JJ !! in a BL!!!!
Lord have mercy!! I'm super excited!! We finally will get to watch a well-acted BL!!! I mean JJ is amazing and Tor is a brilliant actor ~
I'm still not over the tension between him and Gun in Midnight museum!!! TOR IS GOING TO NAIL IT!!! I'm not forgetting JJ here but I'm a huge fan of Tor so excuse my enthusiasm ~~

Story sounds great, and the fact that this is adapted from Sammon's novel is promising, I mean Triage and MOD were fantastic stories!! Also did I forget to mention TOR IS IN IT xD I need to calm down!! *Pull a chair with shakey hands and sit* please whoever is involved in making this drama
don't.fuck.this.up!!!! ~~
Please and thank you 🙏

So.... Anyone are to add the plot???
Already added to the list because I like the two leads, let's hope it turns out well ~~

It was lovely, and despite not having the original happy end, it has a fitting happy end, still a bit vague in a good way ~~
I loved the series and I actually think it's on the fun side than the sad one, lol I don't understand why do people say they cried lmao maybe I'm the psychopath here but I think i laughed a few times specially in the beginning ~~
Also I didn't find the age gap that repulsive, Kouki early 30s while Angel is 17-18 maybe, so 12-15 years apart... No big deal since nothing actually happened lol the two leads are about 11 years apart and they fit together ~~
Generally a good fun drama, with emotional message and lovely leads ~

I don't think that's impressive.. I think this is stupid!! If she actually went for that weight for a role then she is out of her mind, I don't think it is by any mean necessary to put yourself in danger just to represent a character which obviously doesn't have to be in that specific weight ~~

I think instead of choosing a character you clearly don't fit as, simply choose another project that fit your image and let another actress do this one, specially when there is a lot of people disagreeing in your casting anyway ~~~

Woaah! This really pissed me off ....
I didn't like it at all, I actually regret picking it up.
First I have to say I've got nothing but love for the whole cast, they were amazing and portrayed their characters very well, everything beside that was terrible....

It was ridiculous!! Two very incompatible characters fall in love, one unhealthily romantic and another is making a freaking fuss out of a small lie... I felt they are ridiculing us.~~~

I can't for the life of me understand EunOh, like why are you making everything so difficult and complicated, you are a sucker for drama really!! Drama queen to perfection!!
TBH if I met someone like Jaewon I'd definitely run away, dude!! You are hopeless self-centered romantic, who focuses only on his feelings, just get over yourself, you are 32 YO you know better!! Why are you living like that because someone you literally only know for 2 months!! I totally understand that he was so invested in the relationship but it's been years already!!! When it's over, It's over!!

And believe me I don't want to even talk about the other two couples, I still can't wrap my head around why are they even there.
The way the drama was made, the interview process is also annoying, specially in the beginning, we literally just know the name age and job of each character and that is it, how can we understand and relate or even have any type of reaction to every character if we literally know nothing about them.

I feel so exhausted after finishing it, and I totally regret the time I spent watching this ~~

Not bad but slightly confusing and boring ~~ everything was kinda expected too~~
I didn't like tbh, maybe it's just me but I felt repulsed by the idea of the twin thing being with the same woman ~ but maybe it's just not my cup of tea ~~

I don't know about this one ~
I heard it's a collaboration between China/Taiwan and Thailand with Ji Dan as the screenwriter along with the main author himself, but I'm not that excited because One: Mainland China is in the picture, Two: the story sounds too tragic, I don't want to get too excited just to cry my eyes out, Three: not a huge fan of Ji Dan's work, "Advanced bravely" was terrible and "Stay with me" was incredibly tuned down and I don't want to see another Bromance disguised as BL ~~

On the other hand, Taiwan is also in the picture, my all time favourite BLs are Taiwanese, also Ji Dan is Taiwanese she may write a proper script if given a chance, who knows...

Aside from that I don't know if it's gonna be Chinese or Taiwanese or Thai actors who is gonna work on this, another thing I wish won't happen is having a mixed cast from the 3 countries, the language barrier exists and talking in Chinese and have a reply in Thai is a bad idea that was proven stupid in "Because of you" just in this one was between Korean and Taiwanese ~~

I think it's too early to be this pessimistic, it may turn out well but I still don't trust them to pull it off ~

I have no idea why I picked this up, subs are not available and my Japanese sucks, the story sounds ridiculous yet I somehow decided to watch it lol
It was ... Peculiar, well, as expected 🤷 ~~

I didn't really like the excessive amount of added sex scenes, I mean ok we got the point, they sleep together, many times, we understand his pain and understand her pain, get over it ~~
I wasn't really sympathetic towards them but I could see their pain and I generally didn't hate the series despite how bizarre and simplified in some parts yet too complicated in others it was, I actually liked the end, I love peaceful ends ~

I would not necessary recommended it, even if you could find the subs but it wasn't too bad ~~

Wait to see the big one in the sunset during the intro of each EP lol

Woaah! This 👏👏
I'm not a huge fan of Melodrama but I was feeling blue so I decided to give this a try, I'm glad I did, I'll probably will look Into some others like this one too~~

First the story is very simple, pace is calm and slow, you don't really get irritated from characters except maybe the ML mother but she doesn't appear that much, and even though, you won't be too excitedly angry, you will love to watch almost all the characters scenes, I hardly skipped any, even the ExGF's scenes wasn't annoying ~~

Cast was brilliant, the two leads showed the perfect expressions of nothingness and loneliness, I'm not the crying type but I felt relieved when I saw them crying or in pain, that sounds a bit fucked up but my point is 😂 I was moved by their acting and the way they represent their emotions ~~

For me my favourite character are Hyeseong and Jun, I just loved their interactions and how Jun is just so close to the 3 siblings, I felt jealous of their bond ~~

So emotional and beautiful, painful in some parts and lovely in others, also sad but not bawling your eyes kind of sad, just the gloomy calm peaceful sad ~~
highly recommended drama ~~

I'm currently watching this and I'm sorry to say that it's not the better version for me, it has good points but compared to the movie this still lacks, I don't generally like to compare versions unless I'm a huge fan of the source material or it changes some major things in the story, and here I find everyone comparing the drama to the movie so I kinda did the same~~

First the cast in no better, tsubasa honda was a bad choice for Futaba and her acting generally was Terrible but it was good enough, while Natsuki is just a mediocre actress, I think there were many other actresses who can act that would fit the role more, for Kou, I think Kaito was a better choice, I didn't have any problem with Masahiro Higashide and let's be honest, he is only hated because he is a shitty person not because he was bad as Kou, but I admit he looked a bit older to be a high school student so Kaito is better in this case, though acting wise, I'm not so sure he is better, for the others character I think some are better and some are worse ~~

The story is slightly different, the scenes are different and somehow because the movie and the anime are quite a like I felt this one is too fake lol, I didn't read the manga so I don't know which is more correct and that's why If I to compare, the series would be on the losing side, BUT !!!! If we just look at it as a different story based on the same idea I think we won't care much about those little details ~~

I have yet to finish it and maybe my opinion would change but till then, I wouldn't recommend this for the movie/anime fans ~~

Edit:
Now that I've finished it, I stand my ground still!!
This is just a stretched version and added absolutely nothing new, not saying they should have added non existent scenes and I don't know if they'll add more from the manga that we didn't see in the movie/anime but overall, nothing special about it~
The only good part is that the cast looks youthful enough for their roles ~

As expected from Taiwanese BLs .. this was amazing!!
I enjoyed it very much, the two leads were great together, I usually find characters like ShunYu childish and annoying but here he was so adorable and cute I think it becomes him ~~
I also loved all the characters, the secretaries and HuiWang too, I admit I wanted to see more of the two leads together, I wish there was more intimate moments between them ~~
Overall great, I'll definitely rewatch it again ~~
