I'm not too far into it, but I'm not getting all the hate. I'm usually pretty critical of dramas, but... meh? This one isnt a masterpiece of careful thoughtful writing, sure, but it follows it's own internal logic and goes from crazy ridiculous thing to crazy ridiculous thing- which is really all I was hoping for from a drama with such a premise.
Then again, I've seen the truly dark side of dramas. Nothing can faze me now.
I'm not really sure what "conlang" is, but the "Neoantals" are just speaking a type of reversed Korean. So for…
Thank you! I wondered if it was something like that. It didnt make sense to me that the word for dream wasnt the same between the two considering the people didnt have them, but then I realised the Neanthals were just saying 꿈 reversed. Lol.
A conlang is a constructed language, made up by somebody rather than forming organically. The most popular examples are Esperanto, Tolkiens's Lord of the Rings languages, and more recently Valyrian and Dothraki from Game of Thrones. My big issue was that I didnt know the Korean word for it but apparently its 인공어!
Can somebody with a little more fluency in Korean than me look up if theres any news about if the "Neoantals" are speaking a proper conlang? Or at least link me an article discussing it? It'd be much appreciated!
A sweet yet mediocre slice of life drama. Occasionally quite funny and at times rather sad, I'd say it's worth it to put on if you want to watch a very cute couple be cute together. And if you're particularly interested in book publishing.
(For people who've watched it- and this isn't quite a spoiler- it kind of felt like the female lead felt completely platonically towards the ML, and then without so much as a confession they were going around calling each other gf/bf. Did I miss something? Lol.)
Oh my GOD. The scene at the end? With the three of them playing? AND XUFENG AND HIS SON BEING THE CUTEST DAMN THING IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE?!?!?! I am in LOVE. I loVE HIM SO MUCH. Hot damn I have a lot of emotions rn
Y'ALL. The end of episode 28/14 KILLED ME AND THEN BROUGHT ME BACK TO LIFE WITH HOW SWEET IT WAS. I'm seriously…
On a more serious note, I don't think I've ever related more to a kdrama character than I do with Gong Woo Jin in this episode. Explaining why is tough, but man, they nailed some things.
Oh man, the sad movie that she's watching in episode 6 is called A Moment To Remember. It's one of my absolute…
As for the actual drama, I'm really enjoying it! I love the thing they've got going on where we think one side is unreasonable and impossible to understand but then we're slowly seeing the other side of the story. An unreliable jerk of a protaganist is my kinda thing, and is kind of unique for a drama.
Oh man, the sad movie that she's watching in episode 6 is called A Moment To Remember. It's one of my absolute favourites. I highly recommend it! That is, if you want to stew in heartbreak for a couple of hours.
Seriously, the first time I watched it I legit sat on the couch openly weeping for about 45 minutes straight. So basically 10/10
I really enjoyed this drama back when I watched it. I found it riveting, and the darker plot appealed to me, even though Ji Sung's character made me feel a bit uncomfortable. I liked him in Protect the Boss, a drama I watched as it aired, so I was able to forgive how angry and violent his character sometimes got in this.
It's been long enough that I don't remember this drama with much detail, but I remember thinking that the main couple actually had *great* chemistry- or, at the very least, they were given more steamy romance scenes than I've come to expect in dramas. I also straight up became enamored with Hwang Jung Eum. I thought she was gorgeous and elegant and a pretty decent actress. I thought the main couple looked great together at the very least, however it is possible I simply thought the main couple looked great.
Of course, my generally good impression of this drama and her as an actress were pretty much dashed by the insensitive pointless writing and horrible screeching car crash of a drama that KMHM was.
This is one of the most feministy kdramas I've ever seen and frankly I'm here for it. I wasn't expecting much, to be honest, but I've been impressed so far.
This drama is very enjoyable so far. I find all of the characters likable, and it has a light tone despite addressing some pretty serious subject matter. The pacing is a little slow, but I don't think it's dragging.
A drama with "witch" in the title that's actually about a witch, instead of just a woman who people've decided to call one because they think she's a bitch? SIGN ME UP.
I started this drama when it started airing- clearly its taken me a little while to finish. Aaaaand for the effort of finally mustering up the effort to watch the ten or so episodes I had to go, how am I rewarded? The most unsatisfying inconsequential ending imagineable. Ugh. There was a lot of good plot points in this drama, and a lot of potential, but I feel like ultimately it ended with a sputter and gasp.
(Also, did anybody actually want her husband to live? I sure as hell didnt)
Y'ALLL I AM SO DAMN HAPPY THEY DIDN'T FORCE SHIN AND SO BONG TOGETHER HOLY CRAP. IF THEY DIDN'T BRING BACK NS3 I WAS GONNA STAGE A DAMN REBELLION AND SUE KBS FOR 8 MILLION DOLLARS I am SO DAMn ENTHUSED ABOUT THIS I LOVE IT SO DAMN MUCH THIS ENDING IS EVERYTHING I WANTED I WAS SO WORRIED
