Damn, when will Woo Do Hwan get his proper sole male main lead? He deserves it now.
I also just saw that Woo Do Hwan is in this. I wasn't interested in watching this until I noticed WDH being in it. I'm really hoping it's not a love triangle...
Thank you. I'm very glad that my review is helpful to you. :3 The OST *is* very nice and catchy for sure. I personally really enjoyed Sweeter by Jess Penner, Oh My Angel by CHAI, Scent by Sojung, and Pray by KLANG out of all the OST (there were many XD).
"The large secret the husband kept from the wife felt really wrong and kind of silly" - more than silly, it was…
Hmm. I understand how you feel and respect it, but I did not interpret his actions so severely.
Yes, they were absolutely wrong and could be categorized as creepy and stalker-like, but for me personally, I didn't find it to be cruel, vicious, or psychotic. He was obviously insecure and desperate - which does NOT excuse his choices, but his character is portrayed in a pitiful way, not psychotic or vicious or cruel.
I absolutely agree - what he did was completely wrong, and absolutely selfish but that wasn't the sole issue that caused me to dislike this drama as a whole. There were a number of other flaws and factors that contributed to my dislike, the husband's lie being one of them that simply added to my overall distaste.
Anyways, we both have the right to our own opinion in regards to how we feel and/or interpret a drama, hence personal reviews. Thank you for your comment, but for me personally, there are much worse, cruel, malicious, psychotic, violent, vicious, and dark stories/characters that truly get under my skin that this male lead simply didn't classify as. He simply isn't the worse kind of man out there or character written in fiction, therefore I couldn't describe him as such.
*cries* I didn't realize that the entire drama wasn't fully subbed yet. I'm all the way through episode 17 and I'm officially invested and NOW there's no more subs?!
Thank you for writing this review. I have the same feelings about this drama and after reading this I feel less…
I'm glad I could help alleviate your frustrations. Haha. I thought I was the only one who felt this way too, but many people appeared to find my review helpful. :)
I agree - Rain definitely made this drama for me! And I agree that the story isn't what you expect - there's loads of world-building in the beginning, but once he jumps into the alternative reality, it takes off from there! And I also agree that the drama was stronger withOUT the jumping back and forth. It really lent to us feeling invested with our MCs. I also don't usually watching currently airing dramas, but this one was AMAZING and left me wanting to watch the next episode as soon as it was available.
Is the ending satisfying with the romance of main leads and any second romance? Yes or no answer is fine.
I understand what you mean by "satisfying" and to answer simply - NO. It was not the romance or the general ending that they were leading up to. It was very disappointing, especially since the rest of the drama was so great!
He cried at the end. So I assume it was their way of saying that he survived.The the part where Scully says "Ghost…
I actually interpreted his tear differently....I think his body died, but he still went around switching bodies, helping couples mend their love (which is how I interpreted Scully's question/conversation at the fiance's performance).
I also love Pinocchio (which I always have trouble spelling haha!). I want to watch Cheese in the Trap, but I'm…
I really appreciate all your recommendations! I'm still not sold on Cheese in the Trap, but THANK YOU for your feedback on W. The first 3 episodes just don't have me. Which is soooo disappointing because it's really highly rated. I also couldn't get into I Hear Your Voice - the noona relationship isn't my thing. JCW in Suspicious Partner was yummy too haha. I can't wait for his new drama, Melt Me Slowly!!! I have real issues with the plastic surgery dramas so I'm not sure if I'll ever give ID Gangnam Beauty a chance, but I definitely have I Am Not A Robot on my plan to watch list!
This was probably one of the times I was so frustrated with the unrealistic end. A stream of K dramas are being…
I really haven't watched any American dramas in about 8 years or so (I was heavily into anime before I discovered K-drama lol). I wasn't a fan of Kill It either. I've watched a couple of C-dramas and T-dramas, but I don't find the pacing or the cultures to be as intriguing and enjoyable for some reason when compared to K-dramas. I really enjoyed When A Snail Falls In Love - if you haven't seen that C-drama, I highly recommend it!
I agree with I think all of your points-- K-dramas are the most aesthetically pleasing, crisp and the perfect…
I also love Pinocchio (which I always have trouble spelling haha!). I want to watch Cheese in the Trap, but I'm worried that I won't like it because it looks like it has some dark moments..any thoughts? I also haven't been able to get into W for over a year because it just feels off to me, but I've loved Lee Jong Suk in everything else I've seen him in *shrugs*. And OMG I also wished for Anna's death!!! Her actress had no substance AND Anna's character *had* no depth. JWC is always a pleasure though lol.
This was probably one of the times I was so frustrated with the unrealistic end. A stream of K dramas are being…
Awwww I'm so sorry that you have almost abandoned K-dramas due to some dramas having a poor endings! That's so sad! I can't imagine letting go of K-dramas! I'm just so glad that K-dramas at least *have* endings when compared to American TV shows that never end.
Personally, I had more issues with My Golden Life than just the ending, so I can't give it such a high rating of 90% good, but the ending was definitely one of the more disappointing things after investing so much time into such a long drama.
I definitely agree with your review and wish I had read it BEFORE watching this whole drama, but I'm not sure if your overall 7 rating matches your distaste in your written review?
