I was really excited for this because (1) I loved the original Japanese movie + novel and (2) all the positive comments. The leads were great, but they lacked the sexiness, and charm the original actors had. And the biggest downside (SHOCKING) - despite being way longer than the movie, it didn't build or add anything substantial to the plot than the movie. Rather, the longer length took away from the thrill and excitement, and added some elements that were not enjoyable. Also, the original was made in 2003, and yet, it was edgier, sexier and more modern than this. Of course if you've never seen the movie, you'd dig this. But if you are in the mood for something thrilling, exciting, fast paced and sexy, watch the Japanese original instead because the intensity was on another level, and the leads were much more real, flawed and complex. Not to mention, it was shorter as well. Clearly less was more in this case, at least for me. It really wasn't a bad drama per se and deserves a high score, but it was hard being objective with my review and score given my familiarity with the original source.
So that synopsis is so weird - I think I will watch if it gets subbed quickly. Typically it can take MONTHS for…
I'd say most fansubbers keep up with the airing schedule and sub within a week. Of course if they fall ill or have some other circumstances, then subbing might have to be paused for a while.
4 episodes have aired. And all 4 have been translated :)
Try some of these..Run OnLove ShuffleQueen In Hyun's ManPastaFated to Love You (taiwanese)Long Vacation
You'll be surprised by the number of people who adore Love Shuffle! It's rare to come across contemporary romcoms with adults behaving like adults and that is one of them. There's little to dislike about it :)
While it wasn't without its flaws, Uhm Tae Goo's charm and soft demeanor coupled with the loveable family of Thirsty Deers who supported each other through thick and thin made this endearing and sweet romcom a pleasant and enjoyable viewing experience. Time well spent! Also, did I mention that I am absolutely in love with Uhm Tae Goo's sexy voice? I'm definitely hitting the 'like and subscribe' button for him :)
Not gonna overwhelm you with recommendations but here are some at the top of my head:
Karakai Jozu no Takagi-San (the drama) Run On Ugly Duckling Series: Perfect Match Shopping King Louie Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo In A Good Way Long Vacation (this one does have a love triangle but its well done) Soratobu Kouhoushitsu Kimi no Te ga Sasayaite Iru Unmet: Aru Nogekai no Nikki (not a romcom but one of my fav romances) MARS (not a romcom but one of my fav romances) Heart to Heart (not a romcom but a solid romance) Queen In Hyun's Man
Feel free to reach out for more if you enjoy any of these :)
I know it's been 8 years but in case you're still interested, you can watch it herehttps://dramanice.la/mou-yuukai-nante-shinai/watch-mou-yuukai-nante-shinai-episode-1-online
Nahh I agree with you. But it's a very common set-up in most of these dramas that people hardly question it anymore. It's just taken as it is. Ideally she should not even be meeting the prosecutor anymore.. and you are right if the ML had a girl hanging around him people would hate it. But somehow the same standards don't seem to apply for the FL.. That's why I don't watch a lot of these dramas anymore.. Sigh...
