Thank you! I have to re-read my own review because I've forgotten about this show. LoL

Ikr. It has become its only trope. ;)

It is a mystery to me too. ;) I won't say that she is horrible in this drama but it is very formulaic. Cheers!

Thank you so much for your kind words. I feel the same. Some j-drama romances can be toxic as all hell but when they want to bring on the sweet love, they can dial it right up and throw in the matching set of skinship. ;) That is one aspect K and C dramas seldom do well.

Yes, it was sort of ok for a little while but it just got more and more iffy. Sloths unite! :D

I would love to read your review if you can type it out again. :)
You nailed it when you say ppl fangirl over a show/star. Ask no questions when your idol is on stage. It is mob mentality. You don't want to be the lone distractor.
I don't set out to be critical about any show nor would I go in with blinkers on. ;) I just write reviews as I see them. Warts and all. Cheers! :)

Thanks!

Thanks for your kind words. I have to reread the review. LoL It was a while since I watched it.
Hmm, yes, it has the potential but it really wandered around the garden path and the pacing and the plots of the show got more and more inconsistent as it goes along.
That's the problem with a 30+ EP drama. Some show has a clear focus, some just seems to lose track and pad it out as best they can. Sadly, this is the later.

Thank you for your kind words.
:) I know how you feel. I'm glad that you found my random musing useful.

Thank you for your comment. It made my day! I know the ending is open to interpretation. I would like to put my own spin on it and I think it is a nice ending and it is plausible. ;)

Thank you so much for your kind words. :) I really appreciate that!

he he, I share your pain. :D

Thank you so much for your kind words. :D
Yes, this one is watchable largely because the leads are cute and sweet together but once you peel back the façade, it is pretty much the old reincarnation love story trope. In fact, 3 popular dramas this year are all based on the lead dying and rewinding time to do-over their mistakes. We are not in the golden age of creative writing. ;)

Thanks for your comment. :)

Appreciate your comment. :)

Ah yes, I do have issues with people who rate every show 10/10. It becomes meaningless. This is particularly true with certain sites where any note of dissent is quickly shouted down. MDL is much more civilised.

I did start watching Lost You Forever but I shelved it for now because it is just too long. 70+ eps is out of my comfort zone nowadays. ;)
I just started Story of Kunning Palace and it is looking promising. :)

Thank you for your comments. I appreciate them. :)
I've watched too many dramas to have any misguided notion of an unicorn show. I always call it as I see it. :)
I hope my reviews will help readers make an informed viewing choice. I'm sure some do feel the same way as us but few would bother to put it in words. Cheers!

There were red flags from the start but I gave it the benefit of the doubt but the senseless killing of the young woman was the last straw. Cheers!

Thanks for your comment. I find this show amped up all the worse stereotypes and tropes for "laughs" and it was so cringey. The senseless violence was the last straw for me.

Thank you for your kind words. I totally agree with you. I'm actually a j-drama fan but it is much harder to find j-drama on steaming platforms compared to k or c-dramas. I have reviewed a number of j-dramas here and I rated most of them highly. :)
