I can't believe it's been 8 years :'))))) oh when life was easier.. romcoms will never be better
life truly was easier! i feel you so bad. i was in highschool when this came out and it was my first kdrama, and is still one of my favorites til this day.
love love love the character writing in this show, its so wonderfully sensible (like our male lead) 무μλ³΄λ€ μκ°κ° μ§μ§ μΌμ€μλ€~π―π―
daon about bitna in the early episodes: damn girl there is something very wrong with you! iβm captivated and intrigued by your distressing aura and your rabid charm
if i had a nickel for every time jin hee kyung played a woman who keeps appearing near the female lead and is later revealed to be her real mother i'd have two nickels which isnt a lot but it's funny that it happened twice
funny how you think everyone would know the genre before watched this drama LOL I'm starting to think some people…
if i go into a horror movie without knowing it's a horror movie and then complain about it being too scary/gory/whatever and continue to do so even after knowing the genre then yea that's dumb! hope that helps
ji chang wook really said i'm going to star in a disney+ original crime thriller that has bibi in it and is related to drugs AGAIN but this time i'm the gangster π
funny how a drama will literally have romance listed as a main genre from the beginning and yet there will be some bro on mdl saying the drama is "ruined" by the forced and cringe romance LOL i'm starting to think some people just choose to be stupid π if you think the story and characters are ruined by the inclusion of romance then i'm sorry to tell you that the entire point of the drama is that kang bitna learns to feel human emotions and thus empathize with humans, becoming a true and just judge in the end. this has ALWAYS been the end goal of the story. without the "cringe romance" there is no story progression, no character development and bitna would remain a static figure. why not just have her finish her mission neatly? then why tell this story at all? would it have been better to have bitna stay an uncaring demon, continue handing out lenient sentences (gee, i wonder why she so easily can hand out sentences that are not appropriate, i wonder if there's something fundamentally wrong with the korean justice system?) and then finish her job and go back to hell, as if nothing happened? why include daon in the story at all then? why would we even care if victims continue to be wronged, dismissed and suffer because of the law that abandons them? sure that would've been possible but you need to realize that one rule of storytelling is that you do not simply introduce a world and its many, many problems and have them not adressed at all by at the end of it. why address them? because there's a point to be made. (this point is clearly adressed in ep 13 and if that didn't lay out the entire theme of the drama for you then i can't help you) romance in stories is not always there simply for the sake of it but for the purpose of advancing themes, plot and characters. if you don't like that, then that's not the drama's problem but yours.
