To be honest, I am not sure if I'll even tune in the next week. If I've got nothing to watch, I might otherwise I might also not return HAHA

I have no issue if that's the characterisation they wanted going for the leads.. but what I hate is the double standards in that the writer wants to portray them as 'pure' while making them messy. If they owned what they were, I would at least be able to take it.

In one word - this was UNDERWHELMING.

The whole 'being pure' conversation just didn't sit well with me.. what the hell is that supposed to mean?! THAT TOO IN THIS DAY AND AGE.

Also, FL talks about the ML giving mixed signals but she herself fantasizes about both men fighting over her, and leads on the second ML while expecting commitment from the ML?
Seriously, the FL is so unlikeable.

ML himself is not helping.. we have been given literally no back story of how his realistion about the past came about, and why he reached the hospital. He tells FL to wait. But what exactly are they waiting for? He's already made things clear with second FL. He hasn't even told his parents that he's broken up with 2nd FL.

Why is the show focusing on the stupid love triangle when they could lead the story forward about the spells and curse etc... K dramas need to stop with this love triangle obsession.

I'll wait one more episode before dropping it to see if it gets any better.

There are tons of slice of life J dramas like this -
Nijiiro Karute
Bokura wa Kiseki de Dekite Iru
Okaeri Mone
Mi wo Tsukushi Ryouricho
Nagi's Long Vacation
Osozaki no Himawari
Oi Handsome!
Ore no Hanashi wa Nagai
Omameda Towako to Sannin no Motootto
Dele
Ukiwa: Tomodachi Ijo, Furin Miman [this one isn't feel good but its got great aesthetic / vibe]

Feel free to reach out for more! Hope you enjoy them :)

I'm on the verge of dropping this.. sigh another K drama with potential that fizzled out after the first few episodes.

It started with potential but has fizzled out.. i might drop it if it doesn't pick up

Same.

Just had to say this - Rowoon has got beautiful fingers.

There are so many.. depending on the genre you're looking at. Here are some dramas I'd recommend -

Thank you! I will check it out.

I just finished Kieta Hatsukoi and it was so adorable <3
Thank you once again!
On to the next recommendation :)

Oh man, the subs on this are bad. Like the food items or significance of certain traditions have not been translated. And to think, the subber was paid to do it for Netflix. It made me appreciate fansubbers so much more.. like they not only translate the words / meaning but always go the extra mile to explain cultural differences, word puns, significance of locations / traditions etc.
Seriously, respect to the entire Japanese fansubbing community. You guys are awesome, and deserve to be paid for the hard work you do.

A feel-good coming of age story filled with friendship, love and positivity. Though it wasn't anything extraordinary, it's a drama you can't help but adore.
Also, we need more Aokis in this world.
Highly recommended for all!

KAWAIIIIIIIIIIII

If you are debating which to watch first, PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND WATCH THE ORIGINAL.

Oh man, I've watched him play the sweet grandpa / horrible chairman for over 20 years so it feels like a personal loss. He will be missed. May his soul rest in peace.

I hope you feel better soon! Do let me know how you found the dramas :)

Kyou Kara Ore Wa
Yuusha Yoshihiko to Maou no Shiro
Tiger and Dragon
1 Pound no Fukuin
Yankee-kun to Megane-chan

A slow-paced and well-acted melodrama full of loneliness, sadness, anger and regrets. While it did try a little too hard at times, the explosive chemistry between the leads, the lovely cinematography, and message of forgiveness and healing made the journey worth it.

P.S K dramas really need to learn to be concise. This story could have been told in 10 episodes.

Well great minds think alike HEHE
