We all need a girlfriend like Chun Tian/Qiu Tian! That girl is a true rock solid gem- she stuck by her friend who mysteriously fell into a coma for 3 months and even unconditionally believing her friend when she woke up and claimed that she travelled into the novel while she was comatose!!!
Namtan's Tata was so adorbazzzle! Story prioritised comedy over the development of characters and events, which I was a little disappointed by, as I was under the impression that with the show's topic matters and production for a cable network, it's given with the bold storytelling that emotional arcs would be more developed than this. I always love a hilarious laugh-out-loud comedy, but I think it's a little wasted that this one didn't go deeper into the issues (and resolution) of the characters.
You can watch Liar and the lover..I got the same vibes from Sato in that movie... :) and he was freaking HOT in…
It's on my radar now after seeing some clips on YT! But idk if I have the heart to go through with it currently as I'm still experiencing Koi Tsuzu withdrawals TT. I'm imagining that The Liar and His Lover will hurt REAL bad as their relationship sinks into jeopardy when his lies get exposed. I find that the posters/cinematography of Japanese movies and dramas tend to not line up with the mood I anticipated, so I'm crossing my fingers this one won't hurt too bad >.<
The kyunkyun-ness of Koi Tsuzu and the current quarantine situation has got me overly fixated on the drama, and I desperately can't move on! I almost never rewatch shows, but I'm on my third round and I'm still not over it yet :(
Christmas Song by back number in From Five to Nine and almost all of Autumn's Concerto and Prince of Lan Ling OST. The Thais also do pretty good OSTs, you're definitely gonna be spoiled! And yes please, how can we not have a karaoke article in an Asian drama forum! >.<
This would’ve flown under and past my radar if not for the high ratings and buzz on MDL. Typically not drawn to age gap, medical and dumb girl chases tsundere male plot because I didn’t think I needed more unoriginal and predictably cringey plots. But.... I was wrong....
VERY cliche but really gotta give it credit where it’s due- I’ve never seen a romcom that just keeps getting better and even endings which most stories struggle to wrap up with a neat bow, it managed to finish strong and satisfying. This is a very rare story that pulled no punches to become the best in the romcomverse! All romcom writers pls take notes on how the conflict, resolution and fan service in this drama, esp the last ep was harmonised!
At times watching this esp in the beginning, I felt like the leads were on very different frequencies and found it hard to like the characters, esp Tendo sensei. It was like Satoh’s received extreme notes that the character he’s portraying is pulled straight out from a manga and his stoicism should mimic that of a manga character but Mone’s manga behaviour was mellower. But thankfully towards the end we see our sensei becoming softer (~kyaaaa~) towards our adorable yusha-chan and that was very endearing to watch ? and of course, the number of real kisses- how did it pass the board (not complaining though ?)
Agreeing with everyone, the Ryuko/Nishi storyline was severely bland, and could’ve made way for Sakai/Kisugi sensei since the Tendo/Sakura/Kisugi love triangle line wasn’t utilised to its fullest as a jealousy plot device.
Just came from a rewatch and a full night’s sleep and still woke up with Koi Tsuzu in my head ? I know I need to move on but my heart is firmly stuck and doesn’t help that Japan makes so few good romcom dramas! Gotta be strategic with my watching to not run out!?
Wtf was Kim Dan even talking about in the ending scene lmao he was just talking in circles. Been a long time since I've seen a drama with writing that has so little respect for its characters (esp supporting) just to fluff up the story. Shin Hye Sun was an absolute saving grace here, and I agree with other comments lauding her delivery of the Yeon Seo's character, making it a relatable and likeable one. Can't believe with her talent she was once a regular in the minor character ranks. She's my new queen now, looking forward to her new projects!!
Was shipping the reel-to-real couple quite hard before I got to that part of the drama and now... read somewhere…
Saw it in one of those Chinese videos on YouTube, so might not be entirely credible. Yeah I saw the link to her new drama too and looks promising. It wasn't there when I wrote that comment and I did not see any news on it on google then too
Still can't wrap my head around the fact that Yuutaro actually LEFT his family??????? and only came back because…
Was shipping the reel-to-real couple quite hard before I got to that part of the drama and now... read somewhere that Anne's the kids' main caregiver and Masahiro only takes care of shower time and seeing that Anne doesn't seem to have any new projects in the recent years.... hoping for the best that their rl family situation ain't like in the drama lol. Let's rise up to patriarchy LOL
Still can't wrap my head around the fact that Yuutaro actually LEFT his family??????? and only came back because of Meiko's food??? dafuq.... After all the promises he gave to her parents that he would ensure their daughter's happiness and all that Meiko put up with in the Nishikados to be with together, this is the kind of crap he pulls?! Got me so flippin mad- men really ain't shit lol. And Meiko didn't even make him work for her forgiveness, and even goes through with the wedding ceremony in the following week. OML.
