That's it! Xiao Bei totally lost his shot at redemption. I don't want to hate him, but at this moment I do. On behalf of Rong Rong who has been honest with him from the start, whether regarding the cause of their wedding and her feelings. But Xiao Bei had to do this. Regardless of his reasons, he used a woman's feelings to his advantage, and he used it on the woman he had feelings for. What kind of scum does someone have to be to stoop this low?
Urggggg I was just so disappointed because I had nothing but love for Xiao Bei.
I hope Rong Rong bestows appropriate counterattack and punishment. Not only for the people who used Xiao Bei against her but for Xiao Bei himself as well.
Edit after Ep12
Ok, so the project had a problem from the start. But the truth remains, Xiao Bei plotted against Rong Rong. Regardless if he knew the issue about the project or not, I still couldn't get past the fact that he lied.
Now what remains were both their traumas to come to light.
I have read Jiu Lu Fei Xiang's Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes, All Thanks to a Single Moment of Impulse and I have to say, I am quite nervous about this adaptation. I loved the novel, not as much as Sansheng, Wangchuan Wu Shang but a close second. I don't want to be disappointed. I hope this drama can do justice to this wonderful novel.
I love the ML. Straightforward character, whether in sports or love life. I love their pairing. I am more conflicted about whom to pair with Junghwan. Yumi or Junyoung. I kind of shipped him and Yumi at first but then Junyoung came into the picture and she's one of the main leads too. I don't want to ship the wrong couple so I guess I have to wait for a while. At ep 3, I just can't help but root for Yumi because she's just lovely.
Yan Po Yue's character growth to me was abrupt and not convincing enough. I have hated him for a time because of his entitled and conceited attitude, and it was such a shame that only the loss of someone close to him made him realize his shortcomings.
Still, it was a good production, and I enjoyed every last bit of it. I did root for YPY at first, hated him, and pitied him. And I want to think that his character will continue to mature and become a great commander.
I thought it would be like Chachacha so I dove in, expecting a comedic Jeju rom-com setting, the thought of the many laugh it would bring excited me.
And then I was slapped so hard it left five purple marks on my face.
This show did not skimp to show the ugliness and selfishness of humankind. It was raw and heartbreaking. I wished everything to come to a perfect end, however, given how the show's direction, I doubt anyone would have that great of an ending.
I was disgusted with Hansu at first. I was relieved he found his conscience in the end. But this thought came to me....in life, there comes a time when a person is pushed to a breaking point, where he has to choose between preserving his humanity or doing something terrible to another in order to obtain what he needs. If I was in that situation, would I be able to preserve mine? Maybe I will not be able to find the answer unless I was truly the one experiencing what Hansu was going through.
The two childhood sweethearts, I could almost picture what their end would be. But what do I know?
Yongju has her whole life ahead of her. She had good grades and big ambitions. All her life, she longed to leave for a greater future. And then she got pregnant. Decided she didn't want the baby. Then found out she couldn't get an abortion. Then decided to keep the baby.
Given the relationship between both fathers of these sweethearts, a great war will eventually happen. And the baby might be lost, whether by intent or not. And maybe that would be the best outcome...or not...
But I am really hoping for these two young lovebirds to stay together...overcome everything, and find their purpose in each other because I am just that hopeless romantic who roots for young love. But then again, in reality, how many people can keep their first loves? A very few.
So I will prepare myself tissues and get myself a dose of a reality check from this show.
Wow! The most wholesome I've seen lately. A warm, healing, and slice-of-life show you'd never want to miss.
It took me back to when I just stepped into adolescence. I was uncertain, yet full of hope. I experienced highs and lows, gained and lost friends. Learned life lessons through bitter means.
Thinking back now, I think I didn't hate high school as much as I thought I did.
Kim Woo Bin's character seems to be the only nice and likable in this show--so far. Everyone else is just........Especially that H guy. It makes me sick.
I personally rate this 10 despite the low rating. Even tho the screenplay was not original, I was touched by the message of the show. Every scene was portrayed in a way that made me root for each character, especially the love between Xing Yue and Lu Yao. I desperately prayed for Lu Yao's miracle, but instead, I was given a tragedy. It was heartbreaking, to say the least.
The acting of our two main leads was exceptional. And their chemistry was above the clouds.
How could they have made Lu Qingqing's character so stupid? Like hell? Why would you insult your audience's intelligence by this main character? Such a waste for CX's potential as an actress. She did act her character well enough but what good is it if the character was poorly written? At ep 7, I was fuming all the way. I am so ready to drop it.
It was a pretty interesting watch. The way the "past life" was explained was a nice touch-up and it was nicely wrapped up. And thumbs up to the side couple. They look visually stunning and sparks fly whenever they're in the same frame. And when they kiss, oh man, everything just explodes.
And I hope the uncle gets his peace and happy ending too.
