Oh Man, what a mess. Phoon is really annoying. If he knows those two like each other, why interfere? Just stay out of it! He tried to compete, he says, ew. Phoon was forcing himself on Daonuea. Of course, Kluen got angry. Why does Daonuea get mad at Kluen and not Phoon??? And maybe I'm dense, but I feel like Daonuea is overreacting big time.
1. He confessed to Kluen out of the blue when they weren't even that involved with each other, if I recall. During that time, Kluen must have known him somehow and ended up reciprocating his feelings. He even broke up with Gia. It was too late because he had already left for Germany, so what could he do? I think most people in Kluen's shoes would have reacted the same way.
2. When Kluen finally confesses, Daonuea jumps to weird conclusions. Kluen is toying with him??? Where did he get that? Because Kluen told him to choose Phoon. How was Kluen supposed to know that Daonuea still liked him? He never re-declared that he did. On the contrary, he says that he wanted to move on. So in the spur of the moment, Kluen thought it was the right call to encourage him. But when it happened, he found out he couldn't handle it. That gave Kluen the courage to finally say something...well, go for a kiss which wasn't the best approach, I admit. From what I got about Kluen from the first episodes, it's really out of character for him to do that, so I didn't appreciate it either. But then he used his words too and told him he liked him.
3. Then Daonuea tells Kluen he has to wait while he thinks it over and agrees to date Phoon for a day. Why??? Phoon is pushy, but Daonuea is also stringing him along with never setting the record straight for no reason. He shouldn't use other people to figure out his feelings for Kluen. What a selfish dummy.
4. Daonuea is irrationally jealous of Gia. They have grown up together. If Kluen loved her, he would have stayed with her, but he chose just to be her friend instead. She's like family? Would you not worry over family?
5. Kluen might be a bad communicator, but his actions speak louder than words, and he's never not been dotting over Daonuea since they met again in uni. In turn, Daonuea keeps getting irrationally angry at him and then gets involved with a girl and a boy he doesn't like because he thinks he's too kind to reject them. Is that kindness? I would beg to differ. Everybody is on Kluen's case for not communicating, but Daonuea is far worse with overreacting and sending the wrong signals all the time.
Maybe it's just me, but I'm really annoyed with how they handled the whole conflict? The writing hasn't been the best for the past few episodes. The angst feels too forced just to drag out some artificial drama. The show started so good...
I wanted to like this, but it missed the mark for me. The premise was extremely promising, but the execution and the acting fell through.
I couldn't feel much chemistry between the characters. The actor playing Seiryo did a better job of portraying the falling in love, but he looks too old to be a teenager. He looks even older than his real age, to me, he seems nearing his 40s, and I couldn't suspend my disbelief seeing him in a school uniform and calling somebody senpai. The actor playing Shino, while looking younger, still didn't seem believable in a uniform or that he was falling for Seiryo. I really hope they do a redo with better-suited actors. And maybe just skip de kissing altogether instead of having such weird kissing scenes because the actors looked like they were scared of getting cooties from touching lips.
And for the record, I've seen other J-dramas with actors well into their 20's playing rather successfully much younger roles so it's not impossible.
I love how Kouta is so fake in front of everyone. He uses his sunshine persona and his innocent voice but his…
Kouta is just jaded from all the years of abysmal bad luck he's endured and nothing going right for him. He's never been able to make any long lasting connections but he's not a bad person even if his intentions seem selfish and nefarious at first.
yes, both countries speak Mandarin but each with a different twang and slang. We Mandarin speakers can distinguish…
Even to a non-native the difference should be pretty clear. I don't speak Mandarin but I've watched enough Chinese and Taiwanese dramas and I can instantly tell the country of origin of a drama without looking it up.
Pretty cringy overall. The ML and the wolves are adorable, the FL is annoying and frustrating, the plot is ridiculous and and full annoying cliches. For some it might end up being very entertaining but I was quite annoyed by the execution.
He's not engaged. His father is pushing the engagement but he never proposed.
I've watched it. I mean, I didn't find it terrible but it's not my fave either. Just as a heads up if you're sensitive to cheating plots, he does have a girlfriend when he has his first kiss with the FL, and then he tries to break up with the gf the same night, but she throws a fit and doesn't accept the break up so he drags that relationship too for a while. Otherwise, there's a lot of angst but also chemistry between the leads.
Wow wow wow.. it's a very good drama. I feel in a roller coaster ride with the hidden emotion that each character…
I didn't really change that much after the 3rd episode. I think Yurika was the worse communicator of the 2. She was never her authentic self around Kaoru, she never told him how she really felt, what she thought. She played at being cute so that's all he thought of her. She expected him to guess, to magically understand what she was all about. Relationships don't work that way, it's a naive, unfair expectation. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this slice of life mini-show.
