Ok, I love the leads in other shows and they are great actors and I have no doubt they will delivery. The reincarnation theme is interesting, especially how her past life is shown in snippets and she tap into her experiences to advance her next life. As others have mentioned, I have problem with the love story from the 18th life. They are kids. Barely teens. Ok, puppy love, I can accept that. For someone who has the memory of 100s of years, what is so special about that boy? If you want to take it the wrong way, it is a bit creepy. Certainly if the gender is swapped, the alarm bells will be ringing, hard. I get she promised the dying mum to be with him and protect him but you can't tell me that she has never experienced love? None more profound than that?! I have to accept it for now because I want to keep watching the show but it will never sit comfortably with me.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes, I totally agree. It was very interesting up to a point and then it…
He he, I was a little surprised by the kiss but also the lack of follow up. A very odd situation, indeed. Yes, the ML has the tortured soul role down pat but doesn't make him a good romantic lead per se, so it is going to be interesting going forward. ;)
Well writen review Thank you for sharing your thoughts. The aviation setting was so interesting in the first half…
Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes, I totally agree. It was very interesting up to a point and then it starts to meander and got lost in the angsty plots. A shame really.
Why did you rate it so high if you didn't like it? A 7.5 is high.
Thanks for your comment. I appreciate it. Ok, there are two reasons for my score.
First of all, I have my rating scale which I've publish in my profile. I would drop any show that is 6/6.5 or below so 7.5 is not high in my scale. 9 or 10 is high. I'd never score any show a 1. Secondly, I was tossing up between 7 or 7.5 but settled on 7.5 because the acting and production are solid. The show didn't click with me because I don't agree with their world view so it lost points with me but it would be unfair to everyone involved in the production to dump on them. I hope you understand. :)
Thanks. It is not 100% sarcasm but many people do jump in and label shows this or that and form an opinion before…
Yes, indeed. I like the fact that the explanation from the show makes his motive so pure and sweet. Yes, it can be a bit cringey at times but he is just totally focused on his goal and wears his heart on his sleeve.
I love the first paragraph because I don’t know if it was sarcasm or not 😂😂
Thanks. It is not 100% sarcasm but many people do jump in and label shows this or that and form an opinion before even watching the show. Sometimes show will amp up the controversy just for views but others will try to offer a different perspective. I think this show does a decent job in the later category.
I really like your review on this drama! Im only half way through the drama but I really like the plot and the…
Thank you so much for your kind comments, @Noneyo. I totally agree. The ML was very rude and harsh in the beginning but we can see that he was torn as well and we find out his reasons later on and once their misunderstanding was cleared up, he is the sweetest BF. That is why I couldn't write it too clinically because it grows on you and hit you in the feels in a much deeper way than some artificial sweetened stuff that you know is fake. When it clicks with you, you just know it. Cheers!
I agree with you!! I tended to skip the copaganda, as well as the second couple (mostly because if the man can…
Yes, I appreciate some scenes from the ML's perspective but why put it in the end like that. It is breaking the flow of the show. Honestly, it sounds like they ran out of material. ;) With the 2CP, the worse part is that their relationship is so wishy-washy. Were they even dating? Are they getting married for love or convenient or so that they can co-parent the son? So will they actually live together at some stage or just check in with each other via WeChat? Sexy stuff! LoL
oooh you are kind Zogitt! I couldn't even rate it up as far as Meh... hahaha But I think we're agreed on the basics.
Yes, I did the rating and review after midnight so my brain function is a little impaired. I'm going to revise the review today and possibly the score as well. In the cold light of day, so to speak. :) I think EP.30 deserve -0.5 points for a lack of effort. ;)
I don't understand why everyone is assuming Choi Chi Yeol is "inexperienced". That has never been suggested. Just…
Oh no, first I can't unsee the BFF's confession and now I can't get the image of our wholesome, dorky ML visiting a pro out of my head! Just end me now! 😫😂
I also feel a bit rush about FL and ML bed scene. But I think they are all middle aged and their feeling has been…
I don't disagree with the romantic development and I'm thankful for any fan service at this point in time but that whole episode should have been filled with swoon worthy moments while the ML sweeps the FL off her feet but instead we get scenes of jail cell, police station, court room, etc. It is such a waste of time. The set up with the fancy boat is weird too. This is the guy who barely have time to eat and sleep but he owns a motor cruiser. Yes, he has the money but I'd give him more credit than that. ;)
