That intro though...It's still one of the most beautiful ones I've ever seen. This had so much potential, I loved the leads. The story after the first few episodes and their kissing was subpar, didn't love the ending. I like their past lives the most. I don't regret watching it though, it fact I'll probably re-watch it soon.
How's crying make you not fit for the actress tho? Being sensitive can only boost ur emotions in acting. As long…
It can make you unfit because it's unprofessional to have a mental breakdown every time you face rejection. Her insecurities are getting the better of her which can only hurt in the long run.
Crying occasionally is fine and normal, crying all the times only shows you're a broken person with low self esteem. And I know from my own experience.
I used to cry all the time when I faced the slightest challenge until I faced my fears and insecurities. After that I rarely feel like crying. My personal and professional life has blossomed since. I remember very well how I felt when I was crying that much, I was stuck in a victim mentality and felt I no control over my life. When I embraced failure and accepted myself I was free from all of that. Watching Nozomi is watching my past self.
The thing with dongkyu is, he has never picked nozomi on his own? like the first time was by default and second…
I think the editing also made it seem like he's interested in her but it's not true. I think he might have been just nice and accommodating and Nozomi fell really hard fast. Where he went front is that he didn't clarify he doesn't feel the same.
Dong Kyu really seems like trash based on how he treated Nozomi, at the same time this is heavily scripted and edited. Playing Devil's advocate, what if he wasn't that into her since the beginning, he just thought he was being nice and Nozomi misinterpreted and feel for him fast. They seemed inseparable in the beginning but Nozomi also felt kinda clingy if you think about it. And the show's editing made it seem like it was reciprocated. And when somebody caught his eye he was cold to her to discourage her feelings. Then again, he might really be this horrible. I don't know, it's hard to take the show at face value.
Trying to figure out if Honoka is also as horrible as they show her. She was so dismissive of Won Shik then after he took her rejection like a champ and moved on she changed her tune and started pursuing him not taking a hint.
Overall I was really disappointment over how weak the guys are as actors. What Tae-gyun is doing cant's be called acting at all and he also seems kinda creepy due to his off facial expressions, Dong Kyu is so stiff and monotone, he doesn't use his face muscles almost at all, the only reason he might have gotten roles is because he's handsome in a typical K-drama kind of way. Undecided on Won Shik he is is so-so, he could improve with popper coaching and he does act with his eyes more, which I like. There are some sparks in Song Ji Hyuk but he's also quite stiff, though this might have to do with possible damage to muscles due to cosmetic interventions.
I'm not a fan of Hanako's acting but Rio, Ayano and Nozomi are quite good overall. Nozomi seems sweet and kind but she's really unprofessional and takes everything so personally. It's clear she has insecurities galore and she's not handling it well. She's an open book in front of everyone and that can't be good when you have to work in the industry. Hanako is both a weak actor and unprofessional too with her crying all the time as well. I know it's a cultural thing but it's off-putting to see grow women crying non-stop and being so child-like. I much prefer Rio and Ayano.
I'm on cloud nine to be honest because I adore the manga, it's my favourite and I couldn't be happier with the casting and acting. I feel like I'm going to rewatch this over and over.
I feel relieved to see somebody else mentioning this. I enjoyed the first episodes but I was mostly swept away by the hype around this series the first time I watched it. On the rewatch I struggled with episodes 6-12. One of the reasons was the weird skinship that was mostly them teasing each other or wrestling, bickering which was meant in a flirty way but came out more as brotherly. I was thinking am I the only one finding it weird that they never had a proper kiss after their first one? It was all sniffing and such.
Unfortunately, this wasn't as good for me on the rewatch. The first 5 episodes are great despite being rushed and the show peaked at episode 5. The scene on the roof holds up. Though on the rewatch I was annoyed by how quickly Pat switched from liking Ink to liking Pran, it was very jarring. And then I never really understood Pran's behaviour after episode 5.
Their cutesy moments afterwards were a little meh because of their constant bickering which was too middle-school. It was mostly a bromance, at least from Pran's behaviour. It would've been fun if were balanced by more wholesome non-bickering moments. Episode 11 attempted that but I was already fed up with the story by that point. The way their relationship got exposed in front of the school was not a great moment, the dramatic element was too forced.
Not to mention them pretending to break up to appease their completely irrational family feud, the last episode was a complete disappointment.
It's a shame because the ML's chemistry is so strong in the beginning but if I'm even due a rewatch I'll stop at episode 5.
