Her character develops later on - and her voice also changes accordingly. She is a lot less whiny if that helps?
IDK I was just so excited for this... my hopes were wayyyyy too high so that's probably one reason why I chose to push it to the side for now hahaah Don't get me wrong-- I love both leads. Just maybe it isn't it for me atm.
ohh so u dont watch bl tbh thai bl dramas are more popular than the straight ones thats why bl drama pops up
As a Korean I've watched nearly every kdrama out there already. That's why I've been watching Cdramas and now even Thai dramas while I wait for some good Kdramas to come out haha. I say I'm picky and selective but I've watched so many lol Thanks for the feedback though
So currently, I have this drama on hold. I really like the plot but there are a lot of subtle details that make it hard for me to continue watching I guess.
One really small detail that shouldn't be important but I can't help notice is the production quality. Like when they're in heaven, the set designs are mediocre and you can tell almost everything besides their platform is a green screen. I know how expensive it is to produce xianxia dramas but I guess it's because I've watched so many and now my standard is just too high. Like seriously too many to count, and each time I marveled at the set design/props.
Another is the FL. I don't agree with the people who always criticize her acting, but I realized it's the way she acts with her voice. Not sure how many people agree, but her facial expressions are on point-- when she's crying or being serious it's all there. But only a few episodes in, I noticed her voice is not parallel to her acting. It lacks emotion and sounds monotone most of the time. I love when actors use their real voices! But in this case, I can't say I love it.
The one thing carrying me was of course Ding. His eyes when he acts are so simultaneously soft and intense. Hopefully I get around to it, but I've just been pushing it back to where I know have it in my on-hold category-- not yet dropped completely.
They are so cute together, and I watched their interviews so I do really hope they get another project together. Maybe a modern drama without so much sadness. Perhaps she matches a quirky comedic character?
Like I said, this drama was a lot more fun in the first few episodes. I even thought the last two episodes would be really unnecessary, but I think it gave a nice slow closure to the drama as a whole-- away from the whole mess that was the murder mystery. I like how they settled EomJi's case, even though I don't really like how they used the accidental death caused by someone dealing with a same-sex crush. More specifically, I mean the revealing of her last suicide note-like text left for DoHa. It was quite beautiful how she said she was just holding on til then and tried to emphasize how it wasn't his fault she was planning on ending her life. It's sad obviously, but also has its simplicity and shows the audience a different side of her than the usual psychotic ex-girlfriend everyone thought she was. As for every other character, the closure was just simple and sweet. Nothing too crazy. Overall, I'm just glad I got it over with tbh. The main factor that lost my interest was their chemistry on screen. I think it's because I loved his character in AoS and it matches him so much better. The chemistry in this drama was so much better off-screen also. Watch the bts and you'll see what I mean. THE END :)

I liked her in Intense Love. Both leads for that matter :)She does have that trying too hard, fake cutesy vibe…
Yeah I'm also watching Love7 right now but I'm taking my time with it :) Intense Love was the first drama I watched of his, and I remember thinking WOW his eyes are so beautiful and expressive. Based on everyone's positive reviews, I guess I gotta add this to my list heh
FL in this drama so far so good. I am not a big fan of her in another modern drama I watched. Drama is cute so…
I liked her in Intense Love. Both leads for that matter :) She does have that trying too hard, fake cutesy vibe in it but it didn't bother me too much. I had this on my plan to watch but just found out it's airing... wonder if it's any good :/ Immortal Samsara was also one of my favorites!!
They haven’t explained WHY he did it yet. They’re doing a flashback next week. He tried saying “no” that’s…
I really think the "killing someone's partner because of jealousy" is not my style. I like the deeper reasons... if that makes sense. And I do think based on the preview... if you watch slowly the scenes imply he either stumbled across her body or feels tremendous guilt due to an accident. The fact that he was planning on EVENTUALLY confessing is at least something in my book, but of course it's not sufficient given the long period of time. But anyways, I'm glad it's coming to a close to I can get it over with. Their bts is a lot cuter IMO.
SOO this drama is ending next week, and I have mixed feelings.
I don't know what it is, but I really really loved the drama at the beginning-- the first 4 episodes more or so. But it kind of felt like it was going downhill a little and though this week's episodes kind of makes up for it, my ratings thus far are lower than I thought they'd be. Their chemistry isn't as great as I'd like, the story is a bit too bland, and side stories aren't sufficient enough to hold up the main plot as good as it should. (Though I love her ex, what a healthy ex-boyfriend!)
As for the "plot twist" it's a bit disappointing because I thought it would be more original. I get that being gay is harder to deal with in conservative SKorea but why make that a primary cause for committing a crime? Again? I've seen this before and it doesn't really justify the actions nor does it give the audience that "OH THATS WHY HE DID THAT HEINOUS ACT" epiphany-like closure. It feels lacking, basically, and isn't really a big enough impact as the drama comes to a close.
I do not want to compare with other dramas currently airing, but I can't deny that I subconsciously expect more from one drama because I get a lot from another.
I can see why the ratings have been unstable, but I do hope they make up for it in the last two episodes. The whole conflict is basically closing up, so it would be great to see some good character development as we say goodbye :)
I noticed this trend for the Thai dramas I watch which is so different from kdramas and cdramas I'm so used to.
Don't get me wrong-- I love both leads. Just maybe it isn't it for me atm.
Thanks for the feedback though
