I thought episode 4 dragged and it had nothing to do eith the bad guys. I havent brought myself to watch epi 5…
I can already tell this drama would have been better with just 12 episodes. They are already starting to put fluff in the episodes without really developing the FL character. Her development is moving at a snail’s pace.
Episode 5–Dragged a bit, but I can see what the writers are doing. Setting the stage for the villains to rise. There was a lot to unpack regarding the ML villain with his bulging veins and all. I can already picture the smackdown throwdown that’s building between him and Namsoon.
Episode 1–Very good. Intriguing, dark plot. Good acting. Love seeing Song Wei Long in an edgy role like this. Enjoying this FL too. She’s a new face for me.
So, many nice nods to the original—the children in the school bus, Mom moving the cars out of the way like they were toys (like Bong Soon did in the junkyard), ML Hee Sik going “Where’d she go?” (MinMin was always saying that too.)—made me smile.
How is he able to recognize her as an adult when he saw her 18 years ago? Pretty unrealistic.
People still resemble their younger self as they grow up. She didn’t change into a completely different human. Certainly, by the time you’re elderly or middle-aged, you’re unrecognizable. But, still being in her 20s, it’s believable. Also, the child actress they chose was only a slight likeness to the FL which made it seem implausible, but in real life it’s plausible. Their eyes were quite similar though.
Really good show. Good acting by the leads. Great chemistry. The way he looks at her! And those well-choreographed fight scenes—very smooth, the FL and the ML.
Should i give this a try if i lowkey hated the original?
Lol 😂 😆 😝. I loved the original, but it definitely had its fair share of problems. So, I kinda feel ya. MinMin was everything though. That boy did a number on my brain. Park Hyungsik had me mesmerized. And Park Bo Young—nobody could have done that role better!
The Nam Soon drama is quite different. Similar, but different. It has its own vibe. It’s gloss and glam and high tech, but still funny and sweet. An interesting mix. Much better than I thought it would be. But still not everything I hoped for. We’re only two episodes in though. I will give it some more time. It’s very cute so far. I’m not getting the feels yet though nor feeling any heartfluttering chemistry just yet. However, Mama and Grandma are badass. Love what they are doing with those characters. And Nam Soon is adorable. Love her personality.
