also a boy that likes boys and i agree with PolinaElectric, what the actual fuck was this comment
There's a difference between queer and gay, though. Gay is homosexual whereas queer is a term usually reserved for someone whose sexuality is other than the norm (although still, often used to refer specifically to homosexuality)
y'all forget that the age 18 signifying becoming a legal adult is just a label. what exactly changes the second…
This comment is... really bad.
Nothing changes suddenly the moment you turn 18 except for the very fact that you turned 18 in that moment, but there are gradual changes which occur from when you are born until when you die. The difference in maturity level - the ability to reason, to understand consequences, to regulate emotions and so forth - between a 15 year old and an 18 year old is not a small one. During puberty, youth are also very likely to experience hormonal and chemical imbalances which influences mood and decision making. Imagine the gap in understanding of the world between a 15 year old and someone who is ~25?
It's not just some random person who has said "18 years is a good age for people to be considered adults"; it's based on what is relatively biologically and physiologically accurate. Sometimes people mature before then, many people actually mature AFTER then, but 18 is a good median.
Think about it like this - if you are 25 and are going to talk about an experience that upset you and you want opinions about it, would you be more likely to speak to another 25 year old or to a 15 year old? Likely a 25 year old. Why? Because they are more likely to have had similar experiences, are more mature, have more well-thought out solutions, are more reasonable, are likely more in control of their emotions and have better ability to weight logic and emotion, etc.
I haven't watched this so I can't know for sure how their love is portrayed. I don't have an issue if someone who is ~25 loves someone who is 15 if the way they love them is not romantically; if they love them in almost a parental manner, or like you would a younger sibling, it is of course fine. And that love may change overtime, over years, to develop into something romantic. But if you are 25 and romantically interested in a child, something is wrong.
I just realized I'm 2 episodes behind!!! Watching now then!*Both episodes were exciting and fun! And we got close…
Me too! I've been busy this week and honestly entirely forgot about the show; when I remembered it I was really happy hahah~ And now the wait for the next episodes won't be too long!
While Shao Fei and Tang Yi's interactions are great... my favourite scene from this week is definitely the scene where Shao Fei's unit members were all a little bit lost without him! Very unrealistic but... who cares? It really made me laugh.
Who else likes Shao Fei's character a lot? Actually I'm curious - which scene has been everyone's favourite so far in the show? ^^
His character development has been talked about a lot in many Chinese forums. You're not the only one. But many…
Can you link to some of the Chinese polls? I'm interested! Shao Fei is definitely one of my favourite characters and I've definitely recognised that here that at least on MDL not many other users seem to be as fond of the character as me hahah~
I feel like Ji Sung will really suit the role of a doctor (as he would suit... basically any role anyway hahah I mean he even suited being Ahn Yona in Kill Me, Heal me hahaha~)
I really like the ending (although I fully expected Than's friends to be able to see Met after he came back... but just Khiem... ahhh, how funny hahaha).
I think a nice alternative ending would have been to have a time skip and then you see Than and Met just walking past each other or something? Like they've both been reincarnated and their "new" story can begin. Someone.... season 2 please hahahaha
Sad this is over though. I love Singto's work so this was bound to be great from the start and it really did hold up, all the way to the end! So good! I'm looking forward to whatever series he does next! The other actors too, they all did well.
I haven't seen the last episode but I'm really looking forward to it. The only way I can see Than and Met being together is reincarnation and a time-skip. But hell, if they are together and it's because somehow Met has come back to life or something... I'm up for it hahaha~ (I don't want to say "if they are together and it's because Than has died, I'm up for it" because... it's a bit cruel? hahaha)
Anyway. Woohoo!!!! The rating has gone up to 9.1! I'm really proud!
The interesting thing to me is that people are saying that Park Hae Jin doesn't really pass as a college student. I think he looks a bit old for the age that the character was supposed to be but he doesn't look too old to be a college student; you can go to college at any age lmao
It isn't the best drama but I enjoyed it (although I skipped quite a bit... it's a makjang... realistically a lot of it isn't that important hahah). I watched episodes 1-40 on one site and then watched the last 10 on VIKI where they have the comments from users which come on screen; I was really shocked by how many people were calling Bo Ri dumb. Not as in uneducated which she was by her own admission but simply dumb.
I find it kind of funny though... as viewers of course WE know who is lying and telling the truth so how WE would respond (or think we would respond) to the situations we see is not how we likely would if we were truly entangled in them. From the outside looking in, with all the answers, it's easy to say "why didn't that character just do xyz". But I think a lot of what Bo Ri did made sense. She wants to trust in the woman who raised her, she wants to also trust in her biological mother, she doesn't want to say certain things because she's worried about Bi Dan becoming involved, etc.
I thought Bo Ri was pretty well-developed, actually. Of course there were solutions which could've ended Min Jung's tirade sooner but characters should be created as far as I'm concerned, even though we only see what has been produced, as if they have lives that go beyond what we see. So a lot of the things some viewers were saying Bo Ri SHOULD HAVE done would've resulted in havoc in her "off-screen life" if that makes sense? hahahah mess
Anyway the important part of all of this: Ji Sang was undoubtedly one of my favourite characters.

The song at the end of episode 6, if anyone knows it, please let me know! ^^
