It is disappointing to see kdramas having pointless explicit scenes when they've always been more or less clean…
It's literally rated 18+. Anybody wanting to watch pristine sexless k-dramas still has plenty of choice available; like, 90% of the dramas being made. Koreans have been making explicit media for a long time, it' s just that the variety and types of Korean media reaching the mainstream are more diverse nowadays so people are seeing that variety more. People being conservative prudes is so old lol
Man, when I watched this back in the day it hit me like a ton of bricks and I loved it. It hasn't aged particularly well, I'm afraid. Maybe it's just because I knew what was going to happen? (I just checked the stats on MDL for when I watched it first... November 26th, 2012. A full decade. Oof)
I really liked this drama. I was honestly really surprised to see so many people saying the sisters were dumb/the plot was nonsensical, because I didn't really feel that way? I mean, I tend to be pretty non-judgemental about whether things are bad, but I can at least always tell when characters act the way they do (usually stupidly) simply because the contrivances of the plot demand them to, and I never felt that way with this drama. The drama told us who these characters were, and then they acted entirely in-line with that- it all rang true.
I'd recommend giving this drama a watch if you're here perusing. It's definitely something different.
(But don't get your hopes on the most satisfying of finales, as there's quite a few things the drama for some reason just refused to deliver on in that department. Rather disappointing.)
The shreds of longing glances and noble deeds for the sake of another that imply romance in this 12-episode drama are equal to like, ten average 16-episode romance dramas' worth.
Anyway, this drama continues to be ridiculously bonkers-good. The little bits of romance have been so unexpected and that's made them all the better. Choi Do Il going in without a plan, when he's been so focused on maintaining control and being business-like about it all? IT'S SO GOOD!!!
I love how all three sisters are competent, smart, and flawed. It's so refreshing.
The "I'm back" melted my heart though. The whole time he addressed himself as "ben zuo" and then he uses "I" with…
Ooh! I appreciate the extra context, as I hadn't noticed him not using wǒ before then... somehow... that makes it so sweet, what ;-; Gahhh I love them.
I lost my entire shit. I adored this drama, and was so happy to see them back together, BUT WHAT AN ENDING, FOLKS. Honestly, bold move to the writers/directors/etc. No explanation, no epilogue, just straight up plop him back to life and that's that. We love to see it
I'm so happy for them! I love that Ha Ji Won is going to be attending. Makes my little Secret Garden loving heart very happy. I love the thought of her and Hyun Bin as friends.
I watched this when it first came out, which was apparently nearly 3 years ago at this point. Just gotta say, I really liked this drama, but damn is it disappointing how little screen time/actual plot relevance the main chick had. She wasn't allowed to do anything. So sad.
Oh noo...too bad, the show is quite good in my opinion. But well, not gonna force you to watch if you have had…
What the other replier said! I usually assume the best looking dude is going to be the male lead, and to me that was obviously Ning Yunshao. Their chemistry was off the charts as well, whereas the actual male lead felt a little lacking to me, and only having seem him in minor/villainous roles before, there was no point where I was like "ah, yes, this is obviously the male lead." It sounds so rude imo, but he had big second male lead energy... ah well.. The female lead is gorgeous enough that I may return to this drama some day, but as is I'm too sad about the whole thing.
So uh, the guy I thought was the male lead isn't the male lead, and it's made me lose all interest in the drama.... But like, WHY did I think he was gonna be the male lead? Why did I think it would take them five episodes to introduce the actual male lead? I'm a dumb dumb. But now I'm a sad dumb dumb. (If I had accepted the actual male lead at the start, I would have continued to enjoy this drama, but now? NOPE.)
