Exactly. A fresh of breath air from Chinese dramaland that likes to portray their female characters as immature…
Absolutely! They're not childish or stupid! Plus the plot is fun to watch and the cast is doing a great job. The only problem? Those delicious food they keep cooking makes me hungry!lol
I watched TLB because everyone said it was amazing...I thought it was fine. It wasn't bad and the actors all did good (expect for that one supporting cast member I hated!lol) but it wasn't as amazing as everyone said it was either.
I watched the first seven episodes. Might watch the rest later, not sure. Something about that show kind of bothered me? I don't really love the narrative of "famous actor/actress is just an uwu, cute, sweet person who is their authentic self all the time and this is their perfect life that they totally deserve"? Idk. It wasn't really my thing and the fact that the show came out when China-ent was on fire because of all these weird fan-practices they have going on there and this wrong assumption that celebs are good and ethical people, just added to my distaste for it. I'm over-explaining but YAMG just caught me in the wrong moment. I know I'm overanalyzing a romcom, but I believe in the impact of media on culture and that show's implications really bothered me.
I really enjoyed this show, I am so glad I gave it a shot. Although a few very very important questions remain...
1. How did Andrew just tell that infected, zombie guy to go down the other stairway? Does he have some kind of power? How was he not eaten? 2. Where does the door beside the cough in Sae Bom and Yi Hun's apartment lead to? I mean they have the bathroom and their bedroom but there's another door that no one ever checks? It can't be another room because if it was...why would they share a bedroom?! 3. Did Sae Bom's old colleague never recover? In the epilogue scene, he was still in the dormitory. Or was that not a year later?
they messed up the ending....they should have made this drama a 16 ep drama then it would have been perfect but…
The thing is, I don't think the show meant to show anything other than what they did show. The point was not to show how they cure the disease or what the treatment process is like or how the world returns to normal. The whole show was specifically about how a group of people would behave in quarantine and I think that's why it ended with them getting extracted from that situation. The epilogue at the very end was just to imply that it will work out eventually. The how is not important!
I just love how Sae Bom if selfless when she used her antibodies to Seo Yoon’s mom instead of Yi Hun because…
I also think the old couple proved that showing love and care for the infected, can help them survive longer so if Sae Bom was with Yi Hun , his chances of surviving were better.
