OMG I’m so happy that more people are becoming interested in the drama because it really deserves the hype!…
I honestly didn't even notice that he does not fit the weight standards until like ep 5. He looks like a normal teenager. Was shocked when I read that the actor gained like 30kg for this role - like I know that it's muscles as well, but he looks normal, how much did he weight before? How did that become the norm? Sigh...
66lbs gained and he still looks normal weight ~ must have been hella skinny before then 😮
True, it boggles my mind too... If he gained it in muscles then it will not be so visible I guess, but it's still a lot, he looks as if he gained max 15-20 kg
It’s looking like we will have a love triangle between Bongseok, Heeso and Kang Hoon. I hope not because I’m…
Same! Looking at other dramas, I'd say he has the aura of a second male lead, as screenwriters tend to favour the misterious cold types, but I hope that here the triangle will just give him the motivation to fight for the girl and for himself. The class president is too underdeveloped as a character for my liking
In South Korea the self defense laws really aren't as 'good' for the victim as in the rest of the world. You cannot…
Yes, it is a very weird law, and I heard that they are contesting it a lot these days in SK, as there were two knife attacks in public in recent weeks. I've also seen it in some other dramas, where a wife kills her husband in self-defense, and goes to jail cause she used inadequate power (as she wasn't killed herself). For sure, these are dramas but even thinking about it makes my head hurt...
As for the FL, another thing is that the case never got to court (and police I guess), because her dad wanted to sweep it under the rug and just paid every 'victim'. The school was the only place where she was found guilty, and I think her dad didn't even try to fight, they just wanted to lay low and find another school to transfer to.
About the video you are right, especially that the video of class president saving her in ep 7 went viral... Maybe the secret agency took care of it as well, but it's inconsistent for sure. They could have had the fight in a secluded place with nobody around to film it, that would have made more sense.
Even if the drama truly deserves a 7-7,9 rating, which I'm not saying it doesn't, I tend to rate very harshly, so a 8.0 is pretty high in my book, it makes no sense for its rating to drop do much when SYIM19thL it at 8.5 right now. It's just that the buzz and the hate for SYIM19thL never got to the level of KTL. MDL's ratings are inflated very much, but I do not see KTL's ratings as a sign of change when SYIM19thL is rated so high. I'm afraid that just review bombing, simple as that.
I remember seeing comments from Kang Full or someone from the production team regarding the possibility of following…
Thank you! So I wasn't imagining things after all.
Yeah, the marketing sucks, I'm also based in Europe, and if I didn't specifically search for Moving the day it was released, there's no way I'd learn about it from Disney+ page. I really hope that it will be a hit in Asia at least cause here I think everybody grew used to expect the worst from Disney+ after they kept shows like Crazy Love in a dungeon for a year...
In South Korea the self defense laws really aren't as 'good' for the victim as in the rest of the world. You cannot give your attackers more wounds than you received yourself. You also cannot be the one who started the fight. So here they would look at her wounds and the attackers', and even if they had it on video that she was the victim, it wouldn't matter to the police / teachers. She used inadequate (too much) power to fight them.
And about the social media, I guess you're right, I thought about it too. My only idea is that she was covered with so much mud, that she was unrecognisable in the video.
I know that the adults' storylines will be kicking in more and more, and that was my main reason for starting the show anyway, but the kids' storyline is just too good, I want more and more...
Other thing - did I imagine that they wanted to make it into multi-season franchise? I vaguely remember that a few years ago such news came out. Can anyone confirm it? I would love for it to have a 2nd season, as there are just too many cool plots, but if Disney+ doesn't do more marketing, I don't think that will be a possibility...
Seems like it was worth the wait! I was kinda worried about the director and screenwriter not having much in their portfolio in terms of dramas, but as of ep 3 it's going great. I thought that I'd be more into the brooding class president, but the ML is just too cute not to favour him. But I hope he stays in platonic friendship with the FL, I don't want his heart broken ;_;
