Can someone please explain to me how the subbing thing works? Here's what I understand. Please correct me if I am wrong and let me know if there's anything else.
Websites like Viki, late Dramafever, etc. get the licence from the Channels to stream the shows. Then the groups of volunteers sub them. They are unpaid as they are volunteering, of course. Then the websites charge us for the content. I mean why not, or else how would we get to see the shows that are unavailable in our countries and the websites also have to pay the Channels for acquiring the licence.
But the sudden demise of Dramafever had me thinking, what happens if all the suchlike websites suddenly quit like this? Do we have to be in constant anxiety of incomplete or lack of subbing like how it is with the Thai shows? Excuse my fretfulness. But I can't help myself from worrying after this sudden unfortunate occurance.
Although I am super excited and super confused about the story after watching the trailer, I cannot stop myself from wondering - What the hell happened to their baby? Did the writers just conveniently forget about him to revamp the show! Poor baby!
The story had two of my pet peeves, an a-hole ML and a clingy desperate FL. Yet I watched it twice with all the angst because everything else was so perfect. It was hard for me because the love story being unfair. But the cast, direction, writing, everything was so good. Eric is so effin hot and Hyun Jin is one of my favourite actresses. Every actor in the show was so perfect in their role. I love Ye Ji Won too. She is so talented and versatile. Nothing to say about the chemistry of the leads, sizzling af. Actually I found the chemistry of the whole cast quite flawless.
I am trying really hard to grind through the subtitles. Reading the almost jumble words is giving me vertigo. No offence to the subbers. Thanks to them that there's any sub at all. Maybe because it's translated from Chinese subs, it's this way. Just that I am dumb at deciphering things and this one's like da-vinci-code for me. The show is so interesting that I don't wanna quit. Wonder why no official subbing team picked it up!
I started watching something on Netflix to give my eyeballs some rest from the constant up-down motion and in the first few minutes into the show I saw a naked man and then his head blowing off. Wtf contrast! Now I have whiplash :{
Believe me, like someone said in a review, she is only like that the first 20 episodes or so. I am not saying…
I get you. She was the reason for my constant sweating due to the boiling blood. On top of everything she was unfailingly being a royal b with shan hai. Wtf! Girl pushed my button until it broke. The boys were also indulging her bs.
It was heartbreaking till the last scene yet satisfying. I was pushing it back since I didn't want to see GKP in a supporting role after Strongest deliveryman (discovered it after that). But still decided to give it a shot for YAI. And I am glad that I did. I wept from the beginning of their flashback till the end credits and every time satellite love played. That song resonates with the 1930's story and Yoo Jin Oh's longing. This song and YAI's face are infused in my head for good.
All the three main actors did a great job. It was difficult to separate them from their characters, especially YAI. This is my first time seeing him as the main lead in a show and I am a fan. He is excellent. Both the characters he played cannot be mixed up even mistakenly. The characters didn't have distinctive differences in their personalities like one is playful and another one is serious or something like that. It was their perspective toward life and handling everything taking responsibility, that was different. One was mysterious, patriotic, responsible, loving, self-sacrificing whereas another was brooding, hurt, cynical, self-preserving. He played both the characters so accurately. I loved the 1930's version more though. Not only because he was hot as Hades' seat (he looked a lot like Zhang Ruo Yun) but due to his beautiful personality. He was magnetic. I have a hangover now. This is a show about love transcending time in it's purest sense. Not only romance, friendship too.
Although I liked all the songs and they were as they were meant for this show like the main characters were meant for each other, I wish that Satellite Love would've played from the beginning till the end in every scene. I downloaded it and listened to already at least for 15 times.

omg, I know, even the clip of him getting dragged out was giving me bloody tears. If I ever decide to pick it up again I'd surely be keeping 5 boxes of tissues beforehand. Thanks for the episode warning.
Oh right, that makes more sense. But then when does ever a lakorn makes sense. Still it seems about right. Actually the emotional thing didn't occurred to me since I am so used to watching women getting assaulted physically by men and women both like a chore in lakorns.
I had finally started it after being in dilemma for so long (One of my baes is gonna die). But put it on hold after 14th episode. How can I watch such a dum-dum among all the smart and intelligent characters. How does she have place in such serious assignments where a single silly move can take many lives! Her stupidity is inexcusable and too prickly for my tolerance. Even the girl who's not a spy but an actress has more common sense. It was getting impossible to get through with such mind-sore. In a show like this where all the characters are carefully crafted she is such a misfit. I actually feel bad for ZDY. She seems like a good actress. The writers bodged up her character.
My two favourite actors are in it Yi Feng and Ruo Yun. I couldn't carry on in spite of that. Had it been a drama with a poor script or draggy execution, I still would have stuck till the end for the love of my heroes like I did in Evolution of our love. But with a tightly scripted and well acted show like this even a tiny stupidity like this (which is recurring btw) clearly shines as a dark spot. Everyone's acting is excellent including ZDY. My problem is with her character.
I have decided to watch it after stalling for a long time. So when it says in the description that Yoo Jin Ho is a ghost-writer it means literally right?
Yes, the relationship is the only part of the story that'll make me rewatch it many more times. Mik and Pook are two of the best kissers. The chemistry was natural af. I sorta skipped through some side stuff. Too much crazy. It felt like a cuckoo's nest.
Rut's mother deserved what she got from her DIL. No complains there. She was a screwball. The most unsatisfying was the happy ending for Pin and Rut. They deserved to be unhappy for a very long time.
And did I misread into it, you tell me. Wasn't Nakarin incestuously hitting on May? what exactly was his plan? Did you get it? I mean he wanted revenge on them, but how! Was he planning to sleep with her or something and suddenly everything was hunky dory at the end. Anywho, all's well when main couple is so fine and more than well. 8.5 for me too. Will be watching it again for the loveship and skinship with scorching kisses. (perv alert, lol)

P.s. How beautiful is YAI! He is dazzling.
