I love J dramas too. Thanks to J dramas, I started watching all kinds of genres beyond just romance & revenge. They really know how to create dramas of different varieties - telling stories of different kinds of people in different kinds of situations. I'm so blown by the creativity honestly. The writing and acting is top notch as well.
I just finished Zeni Geba. It's a damn good revenge/psychological story. Have you seen it?

Uncanny! I just realised that I have seen you in quite a few comment sections of the J dramas I watched/am watching.

Are you serious?! SAME HERE lol

I KNOW RIGHTTT!

FINALLY after 3 years this is being subbed. I don't know whether to be happy or sad. Can't wait to watch it, nonetheless.

Dude SAMEEEE! I was wondering what does she not know LOLLLLL

I have watched Hotaru No Hikari & Nodame Cantabile & I don't find them anything similar to this (both in terms of dialogue & screenplay)
I'll check out the other 2 you mentioned.
Thank you for your reply!

I don't have access to Viki :(

Watched the 3rd episode. It was MUCH BETTER! I don't love it yet, but I don't fully dislike it either. A lot of mixed feelings (which is new for me as I tend to either like/dislike a drama)

NOTE to all those who found ML creepy and manipulative in the first 2 episodes, don't give up until you watch till the end of E3. I almost wanted to give up midway of E3 lol but I decided to just watch on, and I appreciated the development in the ML's character (he went from appearing manipulative to giving her more space & letting her decide in the second half of E3).

Other things I liked:-
- The FL called out the ML's behaviour
- The show slowed down to give us more insight into the FL's feelings and the leads' talked rather than rushed into a fake relationship.
- Finally saw some chemistry between the leads as well.

What I didn't like - the ending of E3. I was loving the FL, and her honesty but I don't get why she had to resort to what the ML proposed at the end of the episode. Why complicate things further (and appear as a wrong party) when all you can do is call out the SML's behaviour & break things off clean. Urgh I was starting to like this and then that ending threw me off.

I hope this is not how the drama will continue to be, in that each time I warm up to the characters, it will throw me off with their stupid decisions.

It is a wholesome ending, that's all I will say <3

As of now, no one has picked it up :(

Sigh I hate how we always have to wish someone will sub a Japanese drama. Really sad considering how good they are.

Am I the only one who feels like running whenever I watch Seon Gyum run? And I don't even like running lol.

He's an adorable teddy bear you just want to hug & cuddle.

I recently re-watched this on Netflix and this brought back so many memories. So so adorable, and heartwarming :)

Watch it! The story was amazing, and the acting was absolutely BRILLIANT. Also loved the way this was shot. Ishihara really showed her acting chops in this one, she was so damn good.

I loved him in Neechan No Koibito so much. There's this sincerity and innocence he brought to his role, like you really want to root for him.

Anybody can recommend more good dramas of his?

I've also seen him in Serei No Moribito, Karamazov no Kyodai, Ossan's Love & Kyojo.
EDIT: He was fantastic in Spark as well.

I never found her impressive, not until Neechan No Koibito. She was PERFECT in Neechan.

I never thought Satomi was great until I saw her in Takane No Hana. She is I dare say BRILLIANT in Takane No Hana. Give it a try.

I'm so sorry. Will do so going forward.

Also want to thank you for doing such a brilliant job with subbing this drama. It must be harder than the regular drama with all the word play & fast dialogues, but you're doing such a great job. THANK YOU!
