Everyone (including me) went crazy with Jun Ho and Yoon A's chemistry as they are performing last New Year Eve, and now we got this news! 2nd Generation never disappoints, so I'm really excited for this!
I decided to watch it because of the MDL article I saw 2 days ago, and now I finished it. It has a well-balanced plot, dealing with heavy topics yet still makes us laugh with its dark humor and fall for the leads with opposite personalities as they fall in love in a natural way. They also explored the leads' viewpoints which made us clearly see their character development. The fact that it's short and that's the editing style they used made it easier to binge-watch, and the pacing of the story is duly done. I hope they'll make more dramas like this, but with higher production value if possible.
Okay wait, maybe I'm lost in translation. As much as I love EP6, I suddenly thought of the rules for Jun Woong as a human-turned-Grim Reaper. Isn't he supposed to look different in-front of a human, just like in EP3-4 when they are trying to help Jun Woong's friend who's about too commit suicide? Then why the old man in EP6 know he is young, when the face Ryung Goo set for him for the Land of Living to see is that middle-aged man in EP3? Or he can only be unrecognizable if the person he's talking to is someone he knows personally? Or did Ryung Goo felt bad with changing his appearance to a middle-aged man that's why he changed it to a face of a different young man?

First of all, aside from both parties already denied that Yea Ji manipulated Jung Hyun before, we don't have the right to judge her as we don't know the whole situation. If something really happened before which led to the accusations to Yea Ji now, then you can hate her past actions but not her herself. "I know it can be hard to believe that your idol is not what you think, but..." That's actually the point for me. It's the fact that they can't be the perfect image in our minds so we're trying not to judge as we don't know what lead them to do or act like this and that.
They are adults, but it doesn't mean they're that mature that time. Still it's true that they must know what they are doing, but we don't even know them personally that's why we can't just say what we want based on what we just saw, as we don't know what's happening behind the scenes. Also they both are in the right age that time to think and act on their own. As for Yea Ji and Jung Hyun, they already moved on. In order to move on, they must've talked everything through and had enough closure already just like other ex-partners out there - so us we.
I'm definitely not defending her, but I don't think people should just forget all of her hard works and good sides because of this controversy. If Yea Ji is that bad then why will Jung Hyun date her before, and vice-versa? I'm sure they both saw each other's positive sides, but both of them have flaws too and that's what makes them human. At the end of the day, this incident is just a part of their life that will help them grow more and a memory for them to laugh at in the future. I hope what I said will wrap things up, and thanks for reading.
I'm not really a fan of LMH even though I've watched his dramas more than a decade ago until now as I'm not really fond of his acting even with his famous roles, but so far I'm surprised I'm pretty enjoying him here in Pachinko. Maybe it has something to do with his shorter screen time (?). The first time Han Su saw Sun Ja, his eyes tells a lot of feelings. From having like love-at-first-sight to wondering (who she is), then being afraid (to fall for her). I also enjoy the scenes when he was casually talking and explaining a lot of things to Sun Ja as it felt raw and natural for me. Then his manipulative scenes really caught me off guard, I feel so frustrated to him the whole time after he did said 'that' to Sun Ja yet the looks in his eyes when she left (to go to Japan) is like saying he doesn't care anymore as she decided to marry that priest but at the same time he's worried 'cause he know what kind of world awaits her and their child there. It's like his character really loved Sun Ja without him even knowing it. His acting is decent here for me, much better than I expected.
I've watched the original movie when I was a kid, but I don't remember anything from it. I only remember My Little Bride and others. So I read some of the reviews, and most people said that the movie was not it plus the ending there is sad T-T. I wonder how will they change the plot line to make it stronger with much closure, as the main cast here can really ACT and I love them all so it's making me have higher expectations.
(2) Based on Kim Seul Gi's other roles in other dramas, I think she will nail this role. Of course Lee Seung Gi and Lee Se Young too, as we know how amazing of an actor/actress they both are. Looking forward to this drama!

Maybe I should just wait for this drama to end before watching it ... Wanna watch it because of Kang Han Na but I'm still not over The Red Sleeve so it will be pretty hard to swallow up when it will actually be a Romeo and Juliet kind of story. 😭
Despite my beloved Krystal starring this show, I don't know why but I kind of felt an "Oh My Ladylord" vibe seeing the cast, maybe because of the same vibes and visuals of both MLs and FLs for both drama. And I dropped that show at Ep5 - that's why I still haven't decided if I'll watch this one. But since last week, my friend kept on editing Crazy Love contents and talked to me a lot about the drama as she knows I'm an avid asian drama watcher. And wow, glad I tried starting to watch the first ep! Now I know a bit why my usually quiet friend was crazy about it lol. Need to dive more to fully understand her. 😂
I've put this drama in my PTW list more than 1 year ago as a lot of things really made me not able to watch it, just recently remember about this original when I heard the remake more than a week ago. The ratings is high, seems like I should really pick it up now. :D
I feel like wanting to buy the Drama Script Books and Essay Books but aside from I don't know if they're still available, I don't know where to buy too and I'm not yet even earning money myself 😭. They just looked so precious and it looks like I'll learn a lot from it. :')) https://unlocktheredsleeve.wordpress.com/2022/03/28/drama-script-books-photo-essay-book/
I just saw the Baeksang Awards Nominees a while ago in Soompi, and wow congratulations to all of the TRS cast who got nominated! Can't express how happy I am to hear the news, good thing our talented actors and actresses are still getting more recognitions even the show is not really hyped up internatio-nally like Squid Game and 2521. Hoping for them all to won the awards!
Why did Gorya instantly believed Thyme's mom's tears and the medical certificate, then really follow her advice ... She clearly knows that his mom can go too far and cross the line, and bringing back the old time won't actually help him run their company even if his mom is really sick...? Sorry but it feels like Ep14 was the biggest letdown, like it's only Thyme who've always fought for their love that's why I wanna see her perspective about the whole thing and why she did that. I understand her decision, but is it the only way? At the same time, I feel sorry for her. Oh, what a manipulative mom. I already forgot what happened in past adaptations, so I still wonder how the show will wrap up everything. Haven't watched Ep15 yet, but I heard a lot about Ren. Ah, this man deserves the world, I hope they would continue to make him shine (on his own) in the last episode.
