Rowoon's acting in episode 8 tho *chefkiss* He is so so good, bless. I really liked the focus on his character this episode and the dilemma/consequence of choice as theme.
End of episode 2 is revealed that ML/FL dated in college before he got famous. ML is still deep in feels for her, but turned it into a grudge for the most part probably due to her lack of attention/"hostility" toward him. He seems so bitter about it haha😂
Also the signs were all there with the way he hovered around her "to annoy her" and always looked for her in the crowd etc, It is an interesting dynamic ngl, as exes back to lovers are quite rare in dramaland afaik. Reminds me of "our beloved summer" in this regard, heh.
Disclaimer: I haven't seen this drama, nor do I have an interest in watching it at the moment becausethe story…
Korean wordplay you would miss/not get if you dunno hangul. The korean word for shooting star is 별똥별 and it is a compound word out of "star, poop, star," hence shooting star or rather shitting star here, lol. (It also contains the implication that the PR team has to clean up the shit stars produce, lol.)
Korean has a lot of amusing compound words btw, "water meat" for example for (non food) fish, among others xD
I like that they are exes, lol. Much better than the same old childhood/friends in school/college trope. Now that is a proper enemies to lovers tho i have the impression main lead is still deep in feels, but bearing a grudge about her not contacting him when he was away. Their dynamic is amusing tho,
Kim Young Dae sucks at acting. He is not main lead material. Idk why these talentless asses get main roles when…
I only know him as the abusive SML asshole from extraordinary you which he admittedly played well buuuut i am not sold on him here as ML yet. We will see.
Most movies, tv shows, commercials and even donation things only say "Africa" so no need to nitpick because a…
That is exactly the reason to "nitpick" because this shit never is not insulting. Like it would have taken one google/naver search for the drama's writers to pick one of the 54 countries on the continent and maybe five minutes more to not feed into the poor africans in mud huts need saving cringy stereotype, IF they had to go this shitty charity in africa route in the first place. What they did was just super fucking lazy, when there are at least a dozen other ways without the gross generalization of a whole continent to show how "kind and charitable" the ML character is.
I guess is because it plays in the whole "fate" thing, South Koreans are really into the concept of fate and destiny…
Yeah, that is a good and accurate point from the cultural side. I don't mind childhood friends or if they knew each other in most cases or can overlook it. But it is just that every romcom drama seems to have that trope and it is so overdone that i am tired of seeing it every single time tbh. Agree that seeing something different for once or twice would be nice then
It is an accurate representation. I am now chilling with Simba and singing Circle of Life with Timon and Pumbaa…
Joke aside, i expected they play the song for parodies'/comedy sake, but they were completely serious with that instead. That is when my cringing started, tbh.
I was surprised because the part of their original encounter was messy. I though they would meet as part of their…
Agreed. I hope they are going somewhere with that ....outside it being a remote connection/ lazy reason for them to fall in love as usual lol. I don't want to be too quick in my judgement here but i also rolled my eyes and sighed when she found that photo, ngl xD
