I love watching fan made videos of dramas so i get a lot of recommendations on my YT feed. This one suddenly popped up a few days ago opening up old wounds and since I have been pondering and postponing writing something, anything about how disappointed I was by the ending, because I didn't at the time I finished watching it. I was too angry to spend even the minimum time on it after the ending instead of trying to just forget it.
First of all, I should say this about my taste for endings that usually I am a fan of sad endings where the lovers don't end up together or alive. I don't know why unfulfilled love stays longer in my feelings. But I don't like that ending to be slapped onto the drama just for the sake of effect or mere stubbornness of the writer. I feel the latter is the case for this drama.
I am never debating the realness of its ending. I know young love fails all the time irl. I am just not agreeing with the way it's arrived at. It took me through 13 and a half episodes of building up Hee Do-Ye Jin's character and their relation and it gave me 2 and a half episodes to absorb their separation, Hee Do's getting practical and marrying someone else, etc.
Hee Do had been built up as an emotional and passionate character. I understand her disappointment with her mother triggering the last breakup, still. She seemed like a person who will give YJ another chance. Also, at the time of the interview after break-up, she seemed like still not over YJ. But then she got married. To someone else. Hee Do is not a person who will marry someone without getting over YJ. Yes, people change with time and age. But am I just gonna be told that and expected to understand, instead of shown like the events and changes up till then?
And that last scene of grown up Hee Do crossing the tunnel and finding YJ on the other side felt like she never got over him because he died and so she moved ahead with her life superficially and then met YJ in the afterlife.
This story seemed to have been written ending-first. And while writing the rest, even though things were not coming together organically, the writer refused to change the ending.
So, while this could have been my comfort binge, it ended up a bad experience I want to forget.
I picked up that he owns properties currently because during the date, the building he took Vee to was his own…
But wasn't there a flashback of him telling Wad that a lowlife like him must make her feel uncomfortable? Don't remember the exact lines. I thought he was poor with no social status that's why Wad's fam was against his and her marriage. But getting rich by living long My love from another star style I can understand.
I have just started this and the first thing i gotta say is, damn, Peat is so beautiful here. I mean, i saw he is a handsome boy in LITA, but this is something else.
I like the concept of a girl reincarnating as a boy or vice versa. First saw it in a bl series was The Sign. Also Offroad is just unrecognizable in this mdl profile pic.
The entertaining and satisfying story apart, I love the actors, Son Ji Na and Lee Hae young and wish they get their own romance drama where they play an older couple. Great chemistry. Great looks.
she was my favorite character in S1!! but also it makes sense she wasn't in S3 cause she died at the beginning…
IKR! I love her too. On one hand I am sad that they killed her in s2 but also I am glad that they didn't bring her back bc they will bring back Do Hyun (love him too), i think. if they did the same with her character it'd have become pretty little liars, no one ever staying dead and so all deaths are like meh, nothing to be emotional abt.
I have just started watching this after waiting for s3 to release to binge watch. At episode 1 still so I have nothing to say about the quality of the story yet but 1 thing i'll say that I have said earlier after watching hellbound, there're no bigger and more abominable monsters than humans.
I recently rewatched The Glory and was looking for a similar revenge story so I followed the revenge tag and this was listed there but there is no revenge tag here so how the effing hell did this one get into the revenge tag list where it could only have been revenge if Tian left Phupha heartbroken after Phupha broke Tian's heart multiple times with his nonsense and then if Tian made Phupha follow him to wherever he went and forgave Phupha after 10 years. Phew...
Watching it the second time and stopped here to say that I love Song Hye Kyo but never had been a fan of her acting, but my god is she jaw-droppingly good in this.
Glad that it's finally on Netflik. But what all these comments saying that romance barely has screen time is breaking my heart. I love Gina and Gulf and want to see them in a full on romance drama.
