For fun dramas with eccentric characters- Uchi no Musume wa, Kareshi ga Dekinai! If Talking Paid Kyou Kara Ore Wa Oyabaka Seishun Hakusho Yuusha Yoshihiko to Maou no Shiro
omg I just realized the one singing in the ending song is Suda freaking Masaki?? I wish he'd show up as a cameo…
HAHA happy realisation!! Good for you. I realised it in E1 and was shocked. I was like WAIT WHAT I didn't know he sings lol Seriously the OST of this show is so good.
After reading comments here about theories on episode 6 it got me thinking, maybe Hidaka/Azuma (in Ayako's body)…
Hmm.. could be. Though I was thinking more along the lines of Azuma who is in Ayako's body did not want her meeting him on full moon day to prevent him murdering. (I thought that Azuma might only be able to murder on full moon days) And he's clearly acting either together with, or under the instructions of manga guy (restuarant owner/Riku's boss - either of them)
The confusing thing is that the switch and murder both happened on full moon days.. so I am wondering why. It may not be as simple as Azuma taking over Hidaka's body.
Also if that is the case, then that means Hidaka in Azuma's body is the one who died. Question is who killed him & why? And if Azuma didn't die, then who died?
I am also wondering what the purpose of the murders are. I know they mentioned something along the lines of justice but it sounds a little too simplistic to me esp because Hidaka (/Azuma) seems to be a psychopath.
I am glad the Korean rating are getting higher i am enjoying this so much for people saying that the teen version…
Maybe it's just me, I don't find the teen annoying at all. It is the actress playing the teen that is a put off for me. Her performance is so forced & that is jarring when compared to the FL who is such a natural.
Just watched the first half an hour of E11, and I'm going to drop this one. Didn't even complete the episode. Hmm... I am not feeling this drama. I don't think there is anything wrong with it per se, but it doesn't make me feel anything.
I do like the way the romance was built, and also that the leads make an effort to communicate. That's definitely a plus. The chemistry is not phenomenal or sizzling, but it's there. And I do think this is the strongest point of the show. Unfortunately that's not enough to sustain it (for me)
RE: Won Jin Ah's acting as Song Ah. When I saw her in Just Between Lovers, I thought she was easily one of the best finds. What a natural. But in this one, she just doesn't do it for me. She's not bad. But it's not a natural performance. I feel like she's just mouthing the lines. I really wish also that they tone down the powder & make up on her face.
I like that they show them working, but the work doesn't in anyway contribute to the plot (they really need to learn from J dramas on this one). It's like they work, then they spend time outside work but we don't see how the work impacts their lives - like the kind of people they meet, the kind of stories it teaches them. You can tell that it is one big advertisement (all the makeup products they test) Also, I dislike how K dramas showing workplaces always focus on the politics going on, rather than real stories of what working is like, beyond just the office bitching & bad employer. I do get that this is a romance, but like it doesn't flow. If work was to merely serve as backdrop to their romance, then it should have been more tightly interwoven with the romance. Maybe I'm being nitpicky about this. Nonetheless, I do appreciate that this drama shows people working, unlike 90% of Korean dramas.
Now the biggest issue - the characters. SIGH. It's like we're watching old K dramas from the early 2000s. They don't feel REAL, and the kind of situations they are in, I thought we'd get to see layers to their personality because the issues are very real. But they are all so one note.
ML whose life we know little about except that he loves the FL. His character has little set up other than the boy in love with the FL. Exact same issue with FL. Mum's plot was there but it was resolved so easily, it made me wonder why it was dragged for so many years. I don't know if it was the director/writer's choice for Mum to make that pitiful face (which was irritating) or it was bad acting from the actress. I hope we won't see her again. SML marrying because SFL threatened to kill herself. SFL hanging on to SML she is obsessed with despite him being so obvious in his treatment of her & even telling her that he doesn't love her. 2nd sister/husband/chef angle is being dragged out so much. Get to the point, show. Going by the way mum's angle was poof, I feel like we're all speculating & nothing huge will be revealed LOL.
I've been craving more fluff but now you've got me hype to watch this :D
Hehe hi five!! Yeah I wish more ppl watched Ojisama to Neko, it's like my comfort drama that I watch before going to sleep LOL. It just puts me in a good space. It will end in March, so will most of the J dramas I'm watching currently :(
