I actually gave it a try due to its high rating in Viki, so although the first episodes were meh, I continued, and then I was rewarded with the amazing chemistry of the main leads, their very natural acting, mature relationship, and believable age-gap love story. I even liked all of the side love stories, to the point I didn't mind too much the cliche of the childhood friend pursuing the ML. I'm sure I'll rewatch this in the future
did you see in the trailer for canglan jue!! I'm not a big fan of his but he looks hella good in it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvinyenMSPQ&ab_channel=iQIYI%E7%88%B1%E5%A5%87%E8%89%BA
A lot of people love this show, but I found it a little toxic. The female protagonist is a kind and cute teacher,…
Actually his character here is much milder than the original in 2003 with cutie Kang Dong Won when he was very young and didn't know he would become such a big star. This 2016 remake continues to be very popular (millions of views anywhere) and good-rated. I think the reason that most viewers don't mind (including myself) the possessive gestures of the ML shown in either version, it's because the plot is precisely centered on the ML becoming a better and gentler person. I'm watching the original now, the acting is not good but the leads have chemistry, it's also longer, therefore more time for the ML to change in a believable way, even in the episodes when they were already married. But in the 2016 remake, by making it shorter, the novel author, who did the script of both versions, had to let go of the extra time to make more room for romance.
Talking about overhyped dramas... Unbelievable that it has the same rating as masterpieces (and highly awarded) dramas such as Goblin, the Uncanny Counter, The Devil Judge, Mouse, Kingdom, Youth of May and so on, It's even a slight higher than other awarded masterpieces like Kill Me Heal Me, Hotel del Luna, Sweet Home, Chicago Typewriter and so on. I hope that in the near future, MDL expands the ratings to include a breakdown by 'age groups' like the one in imdb.com, so we can easily see which age group is driving the ratings up.
In the section 'Details' (left side) of each drama here in MDL, it will show you the age rating. Also in (i) imdb.com, and (ii) namu.wiki, there you have to right click to translate the page, it's in the last row (viewer rating) in the summary below the poster. Sometimes a drama has 2 ages which means that one is for tv, and another for cable. This drama 'Eve' is an example of 2 viewer ages: https://namu.wiki/w/%EC%9D%B4%EB%B8%8C(%EB%93%9C%EB%9D%BC%EB%A7%88)
Ignore the popups when you click on each episode and go back to the video page, also change resolution to 1080p or 720p at bottom of each video: https://kissasian.li/Drama/Renai-Mangaka
