chillingindoors

I was literally re-watching Mars today, and went to her bio to look up if she had recent works.
I am so shocked. I grew up watching so many of her dramas.
May she rest in peace.

I dropped the original so maybe I might enjoy this. Let's see..

I never knew such a degree existed either HAHAHA

I will!
And there's nothing wrong with your English. No need to apologize :)

There was absolutely nothing to dislike about the drama. I loved it so so much. I feel a void now that it has ended :(

Rom-coms can be very generic, relying largely on couple chemistry to push mediocre stories or cliched tropes forward. Prima facie, this might seem like a done-to-death story with a chirpy FL and quiet ML but the execution and writing of our central characters (the leads, the FL's family, the second leads) is what made this such a breath of fresh air. I am not exaggerating when I say this, but this has to be one of the most well-written romcoms I have seen in years. I don't think I have loved a FL as much as I loved Mata. She was such a ray of sunshine, who made everyone fall in love with her thanks to her generosity, kindness and ability to love without judging. The FL's family, despite being transgenders who were shunned by society at large, never stopped teaching each other and Mata to be kind, to be honest to who they were, and allowing each other to make their decisions for themselves. I loved the ML equally. He was kind, introverted and soft. Not once, did he exert his will or raise his voice at the FL. The leads had the healthiest relationship I've seen in a drama. The importance of mental health and well-being, communicating and supporting each other, and being honest to yourself came through and through all the way till the end. I loved the development our second leads had too as they slowly learnt that they were destroying themselves in the process of competing. The ML's family also had a nice development, esp with the mum / dad. All in all, this drama was PERFECTION.
A big THANK YOU to the entire cast and crew for making this gem that made me roll in my bed and squeal countless times, made me ugly cry with the characters, and made me feel a little more loved and accepted. Thailand, please make more dramas like this. .

Highly highly recommended for everyone :)

I just finished 'To the Moon and Back' and I loved everything about it.
Thank you so much for the recommendation! Can't wait to watch the other two :)

What are her best / must-watch works? I absolutely loved her in and as Matalada.

I am never going to watch any drama / movie he's in because I don't support rapists. Too bad for people who choose to work with him.
It baffles me how he continues to get work, while actors who did minor crimes and reflected on them get blacklisted and shunned.
Rape is literally the worst crime anyone can ever commit and do unto someone.

I grew up watching her in tons of movies and dramas since the 90s.
May she rest in peace.

This is one of those dramas that lingers in my mind every now and then.. there's something so endearing and heartwarming about it that I can't quite pinpoint.

Dude SAMEEEEEEEE

That's fair enough.
I wish I had as much clarity as you have. I watch just about anything without reading any spoilers.. so you can imagine the amount of frustration I have to go through with shows sometimes. I just can't bring myself to view any spoilers whatsoever HAHA. Good thing is I don't push through and can drop if it's not working for me.

Yeah I was surprised that she was in so many of the early 2000s dramas and movies I watched.. I am glad she still does movies and dramas. She is very talented indeed.

Oh yes, how could I forget the wonderful Swing Girls <33

She was the queen of 90s J dramas. Some others that I would recommend =
Risou no Kekkon
Aishiteru to Ittekure
Hitorigurashi
Tabloid

I hope Netflix will continue to upload quality J dramas from the past too, especially the ones that are harder to find.

I loved their chemistry too :)
Both of them never disappoint when it comes to creating chemistry with their partner on screen.

I'm probably in the minority, but I adored this season as much as the first. It didn't have much of a plot like the first season but the tone of how the ML continued to draw the FL out of her shell and the way she began feeling newer emotions was such a delight to watch. In the first season, she slowly regained her will to live, but in the second, she wasn't just trying to live, but was actually beginning to aim towards living a quality life. It was such a subtle development that was done so beautifully.

Sounds interesting..
