Thank God for your review. Because I so DO NOT WANT TO WRITE ONE, but felt that someone should speak out some reason between all that fan-girling and hyping going on. You are absolutely right about everything, I couldn't have put it in a better way (although I would have been more blant about the sheer stupidy of what are supposed to be "plot twists"). Good for those who could enjoys this mess, but it is just beyond me. I really, really disliked this drama and had to force myself to watch it till end (in order to give a fair rating). Me: "Oh no, another episodes is out... I will watch it tomorrow, sigh." How can stand this up there, close to Nirvana in Fire, which is such a strategic, clever story with no loopholes??? o_O Are ppl giving away high ratings just for shallow romance and some action? Jeez. It really is beyond me. My rating: 6,5.
Hahaha, still laughing. Crime scene: The police had secured a crime scene, the forensic team was there before, too. Now the "bad guys" enter and find a smartphone in a corner and a (not) hidden door behind a fridge. HAHAHAHA! Korea must have the worst forensic team in history, LOL...
(Watched first 5 minutes) What a cheezy, melodramatic and totally unrealistic beginning. Yeah sure, police officer records his thoughts "Maybe I am going to die" on camera, because this killer is JUST SO FREAKING dangerous (with his single kitchen knife, lol), that I take only one CAMERA MAN with me (no police partner, of course) on the hunt, all the time talking about maybe dying. And then I just grab the culprit at his collar, leaving myself wide open and just waiting for him to stab me to death. Eeeesh, where did that guy learn his self-defense from? The camera man? What a bull, this is so idiotic, that I will drop this if even one more thing like this happens. Worst beginning ever.
This is hands down the most realistically-unrealistic Mr. Perfect I have ever seen in dramaland. He does everything right, there is no way a real human being can live up to this.... I loved this drama. It was so down-to-earth, no unrealistic plot-twists, no jealous family members, crazy villains, and every time someone got bitchy they got their mouth shut up right away. SO SATISFYING. Rewatched it 3 times already.... (then watched the movie, then read the novel....) I am high on Love o2o....
It doesn't matter to me. Sometimes I am relieved when I see that a drama is only 10 to 16 episodes long, but that is due to the experience that many dramas tend to drag unnecessarily after episode 15 or so. I start watching long dramas nevertheless if they are promising - mostly I get rewarded for that, because these are bigger productions then and usually well made and you really grow to love that they continue for so long, especially if they are of historical or political nature (Empress Ki, Nirvana in Fire, Six Flying Dragons etc.). So... I feel sorry for you ;)
Okay, can someone please spoiler me and tell, if there is some worth watching romance ahead?! Because seriously,…
Naaah, I am not looking for "real romance", this almost never happens in Asian dramas. What I meant, is it worth watching for some romantic tension? Because I cannot believe that the martial arts aspect will be enough
Okay, can someone please spoiler me and tell, if there is some worth watching romance ahead?! Because seriously, the martial arts-plot is not delivering for me and I am about to drop this...
Somehow, Iget the feeling that Mr. Dead Guy will turn up alive again. It's just too convenient that he went to America before dying and that Chu Yu stayed there. He possibly wanted Bai Cao to think he's dead, so she can focuse on her training. What a sweet idea of him (heavy sarcasm). Well, it's just my idea
Ep. 1 so far:
1) Oh jeez... they seriously killed off the best guy from season1????
2) Oh, isn't this another actress now?
3) Ooookaaay.... the girl has gone nuts. Why not... -_-
4) Sudden take on Ji Chang Wook's hairy armpits and hardcore sixpack gets me giggling like an idiot. Not sure why. Must be my age. Or the hormones. Or the fact that it's the middle of the night. Or just that it's too much muscle in my face.... ~.~
5) I think I should go to bed now, guess 25 episodes straight are enough for one day.
Oh pleeeeeeeeeeeaaase (eyerolling), they didn't seriously kill off Ruo Bai..... What a mess. They could have left it open, but nope, got to add season 2 and confirm his death. Jeez. What an unsatisfying mess at the end... (shakes head)
Now, I am watching this finally. And over half of the series in, I realize that one of the supporting actors (with the goofy role of Sakuma) plays a supporting role in the most serious and historic Japanese drama ever (Yae no Sakura), which I am currently watching, too! You should have seen my face when I noticed that.... What a clash of roles!
I just cannot comprehend how mature people can like this. What some describe as plot twists I view as plot-randomness with no coherent logic or background or time-setting. It's like watching a rushed webtoon in drama format. I am not saying this because I want to troll, it is my sincere opinion, and I just plain dislike this drama, thinking that it gets worse by every episode and shake my head to this uncomprehensible praise. It's like ppl don't need logical development in a story anymore - just throw random surprises and emotional changes with weird romantic interludes at them, and they're happy. I guess, I am too old for this. Goodbye.
"Pretty Girl Tournament"???????? Oh my Gosh... This is promising to be ridiculous.
