that's what i thought at the start - But u forgot the guy in the hospital who got paid by Seong Hye. even Seung…
that's for sure - considering she back in the country - why - what is she planning. heck what she plan all along?!? as the info she gathered in her i-pad was about every one in that family she knew who each was. so wonder if she knew Seong Hye and her Aunt were planning? and just got out to stay safe ?? a lot of open questions
I don't know why but am having the feeling that real kang mina is the one who did that accident. Is it possible?
that's what i thought at the start - But u forgot the guy in the hospital who got paid by Seong Hye. even Seung Wook got his cell number from his wife and found out that Seong Hye called him - so it aint Mi Na
just watched the 1st ep - this was beyond sweet, but it has a totally depressing vibe too... of course reading its adapted from a manga, rushed to read it (haven't finished - but it's hysterical) this was funny and sweet, but really not even close to how funny i found that - i guess here we get more of reality, unlike the manga were it builds up slowly.
both Yukiko and Morio r adorable - my heart goes out and aches for them in a different ways, and considering how Morio is treated by society let alone the law, i'm worried this gonna turn tragic by the end - i hope not. cause they so sweet, i want a fairytale plot for them with minimum bumps, until the "happily ever after" ending - asking for too much?!? lol idk
good movie - i don't really enjoy these war-torn / army movies cause of the brutality and lack of humanity u see in them - its brutal and raw and show's us a side of humans that's just scary - and worse then any horror movie to me. but in the midst of all this brutality, u also see that there r some that can rise above and i guess that is what this movie is really about - about putting aside differences to get over "a" hurdle and survive - which they did. great acting and not a boring moment - a lot of mindless violence but that was a given - sadly. but there heartwarming, even funny moments that make this a good movie - great job done by all
this felt more like a drama then a movie, so guess this made for TV - taking that into consideration great acting and plot. it was a bit cliché at the end and goody goody but that's the whole experience in J-drama's - everything becomes a teaching moment... other then that really interesting character's, so enjoyed watching this.
this was cute and sweet - guess this was a recap of the whole 1st season. plus the added bonus of everyone moving forward after Igarashi's departure. fun, all in all and now that the 2nd season is airing - if anyone watched the 1st season a while back and just wanted a quick reminder, they could watch this as almost the whole season was summed up in this special ep.
so basically this was a phone commercial? cute and all, but i'ma be the odd one out, this felt unsatisfying - and i for sure aint a happy camper about Bo Chun. his coming out to his friends first - or confessing his feelings for Sato was kinda logical and sweet. as until that point he wasn't into men, he was getting the feel of voicing his thoughts and feelings and as he was closest to them, he felt safe enough to take the leap - but how long he wait until he called Sato? on Sato's part he already made the last move, the ball was literally in Bo Chun's court - and Sato thinking "i wish i hadn't given him the camera, cause now i don't have a reason to contact him.." was a sad moment for me - he was sweet and vulnerable and deserved better. same with Bo Chun asking him how he feels about him - Again - sorry but it was time for Bo Chun to step up / man up or whatever the frack up... and be the one to confess - but we'll go with puppies and rainbows as everyone else is happy, so whatever.
this had great momentum, but this was a "let's stick a pin in-it" ending - but the end so never mind
i donno how this got such a high rating - just finished the last ep and meeh... but i didn't expect otherwise - kinda figured it out in the previous ep, this drama was cliché and unnecessarily cute - can't think of another word. but this whole show is kinda anticlimactic, it's selling u charlie's angels with a darker vibe, and ironically its lighter - the only reason i watched until the end was cause i started and wanted to figure out the big mystery with the mother - and even that was meeh but the ep's r so short u don't have to suffer for long.
that whole revel with Kiyoko Hanaoka the coffee shop owner - of course they would rush to forgive her - and i don't get why. she left a good friend to die alone on the streets, knowing she had 3 kids waiting for her. she didn't call the ambulance or the cops cause she knew her lover would be found out, let alone her involvement in the matter - and all she had to offer was "i'm ur mother's school friend, so u can come to me if u need anything.." that makes up for a loss of a mother, how? that makes up for them becoming Gondo's apprentice's? he at least knowing nothing but how to be a thug, thought up a way to take in the girls and made them work - not commendable, but it's better then coffee and food from time to time -
sorry this was disappointing - she didn't deserve to be forgiven considering how important she became to them, acting the benevolent friend - they thought her motivation was kindness and bigheartedness while it was guilt - so plz this sweet wrap up is an insult to justice - and it's infuriating - if it was my mother she would've gotten slapped at the least - or i just would've walked out Never to come back again. the all forgiving, all understanding attitude the J-drama's feed us, all the time is really grating...
the acting is bad, but the plot is interesting and the sub's i found left a lot to be desired - and yet i enjoyed this and if i find better subs, for sure gonna rewatch - plus positive ending. donno if this help's u decide ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
this was only 10 ep's, but considering the content and the trope soap-operaish plot, this might as well have been 20 or 200 ep's... it was that insufferable. Kaori's sad-face, with those tears ready to fall at the drop of a hat - let alone her acting like some tragic heroine in some grand saga - nah - bish plzz
from start to finish there wasn't one character here that was good - all flawed and yeah human's r flawed, but it felt like this was justifying those flaws, let alone ameliorating the behavior that went on in this drama. and the word "love" OMO by this ep - i seriously wanted to b*tch-slap anyone uttering the word. cause there were a lot of emotions here, love was not one of them. this was a headache and totally sad side of how self-centered, self-involved and self-serving humans can be - the ending where everyone had their "happy ending" was the idiotically ridiculous "cherry" on top of the sh*t pile, this drama was. thankfully this the end, cause never again.
i know this wasn't supposed to be funny, but this was hilarious, seriously i couldn't watch some scene's without laughing out loud and that ending was the cherry on top - guess Mai be lifting weight's like a MOFO to be able to just bow Toey over, like he nothing - talk ridiculously hilarious. but all in all well done. dude playing Puth total looker - and the way this was shown was sure Ploy was the douche trying to get it on with her bff's new guy, while ignoring her own sweet bf. little did i know that both guys were as affected by that kiss. well played - of course that ending needed work - but if it was tagged a comedy, this would be perfect. still fun watch and for sure will rewatch
guess i'm the odd one out, cause i didn't get this - who were they to each other(?) cause it more seemed like one saved a puppy or a kid - the way the other one was going on. plus was there any significance to showing the random prop's and sign's?!? get one was straight or bi(?) and had a gf, and the sec he started getting calls from her, the other one kept doing stuff to get his notice and then finally approached him in the bath room... so he won't abandon him(?) but to get what the story was - any deeper meaning - has gone over my head. hoping the short drama airing, will clear up whatever "this" is supposed to convey ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ur welcome and sometimes i write things just to make things clear to myself, let alone voice my frustration lol.…
same, like u i'm interested in reading other's opinion's - that's why didn't write anything regarding that kiss and read a ton of comments wanting to see if anyone wrote something that would click as logical -
re: the rest of ur comment will continue in message form (❁´◡`❁)...
ur welcome and sometimes i write things just to make things clear to myself, let alone voice my frustration lol.…
thank u for the praise - i try (●'◡'●) i think when the movie isn't in a language u understand (as most of the times the subbers aint professional's, just fan's - that do god's work lol) so even their understanding (or lack there of, considering age) must be taken into consideration - so i agree about, rewatching and getting new stuff in my case it's more emotionally based. if i feel too sensitive something can touch a sore spot and then that colors my POV, which later if i rewatch the same drama/movie i will see stuff from a different angle idk nothing cut and dry. but laughed at ur David Lynch observation (¬‿¬)(¬_¬ ) too true...
about the kiss u like most, take it as something that took place - but going by the scene preceding it, let alone the one after - it doesn't "fit" is the only way i can accurately describe the feel i got - u mentioned the "...color hues changed and the lights all went out behind them..." and that to me is more fantasy and not reality - if they were on their first date, then i would say ok its happening and they so into each other the world around them disappeared. here cause of their emotion's let alone where they r as a couple - it doesn't fit - that's why i donno for sure.. what it meant
Thanks for posting your review. I got the rough outlines of what was going on, but you put into words what were…
ur welcome and sometimes i write things just to make things clear to myself, let alone voice my frustration lol.
first off need to point out they not broken up for months like u pointed out, but 1 month (or rather they meet 1 month after their break-up) which according to Fan - Tien just ghosted him out and that's why he is left this confused. which added to my dislike of Tien . cause no matter how much of a "over do-er" Fan was - if ur in a relationship the least u owe ur partner, is a reason for u not wanting to be with them any more. tell him he was too much and u felt smothered - say he had bad hygiene anything freakin thing, then what we and Fan got idk maybe just me. but if u loved someone that's the lest u can do for them, then leave them with nothing - making them into a neurotic fool, that questions everything about themselves, wondering what went wrong let alone what they did wrong. never to get answers - that's sad. (not to mention really bad for Fan's future relationships).
the kiss i didn't "touch" - cause i admit, i didn't get what the writer was trying to get at - was it a yearning on Fan's side of what he felt and still feels. while on Tien's it was an "ode" to better times - donno. that's why i just didn't mention it, cause i unlike some comment's i read didn't think it "happened" - if u get what i mean. what is ur take on that kiss? read a few comments but haven't read anything that "feels right"....
wow this last ep was a micro ep - not even a mini - the rest after the credits, is an interview with the cast and director . which if ur interested its there for u. it's cute and all but - i wasn't that riveted to everything going on and zoned out pretty quick. (just though the guys playing Nut and Phob looked better before, then after the styling for their character's) even though nothing dampening down Title's beauty - and the boy is beautiful! he was a joy to watch, even when there was nothing much going on - on screen.
other then that, this was ok - cute end and i'm glad "they" didn't go the depressing route, just to add gravitas - as is i think both Mean and Pchy coming from this industry, portraying gay character's know how they can be exploited and put into situations that r far from comfortable regardless of their own personal sexual orientation - so they both thrived to bring something "more" to the BL scene and in that, they succeeded. as this was unlike most of the BL's coming out of Thailand - the focus was on the plot and it wasn't on them being gay or even coming out - but their friendship and how circumstances tore them apart and how they worked to over come obstacles. it was far from perfect, but most of the cliché and tropes where avoided. so great effort by all and hope they go from strength to strength in the future
Loved this drama (well, loved most of it). But I am feeling the same frustration. Really did NOT like the ending.…
for me from the start there was something shady about him - what with the weird smiles at inappropriate times. but like u wrote was sure this was gonna end bad - with his sacrificing himself - not cause i wanted or though he deserved to die for the greater good (let alone that annoying Emi) but that's the feel from a load of the character's a hints dropped. but read someone mentioning that All of the followers, including the assassin, were all part of Rosin's "plan" plan for "Hemingway" or for the man "Hemingway" turn into the "prophet". same with his transformation at the end - cause throughout this he was in white serene colors and at the end u see him in all black - heck ever his ear loops were black - indicator of who he really is? things to come idk guess that's an open for the next season.
sh*t - kinda speechless - well a LOT of thoughts running around in my head right now but that end blindsides me - cause was sure Hemi died and yet not - why? cause a prophet is indestructible?!? cause the way things were turning out, logical - had a feeling (considering all the hints dropped throughout this) that Hemi crossed the seas to sacrifice himself and save Japan. but that's not the end we got, and i'm like why? so there will be a season 2? that's the only logical explanation - and if so kinda disappointing. cause as much as i was sad - heck even teared up - cause i though Hemi willingly "bit the bullet" as no other scenario saved the person he loved. it was a befitting ending for someone who was called a prophet. but this is like anticlimactic - i donno what to feel other then let down
What the Frack - there were a lot of things i was gonna point out but now ---- WTH happened with Mario?!??? that was his ending - dancing with his blind past-gf?!??? stuck forever in that resort?!??? ugh seriously just for, that i'm calling b.s on this ep. as is - as this also a K-BL was worried "they" gonna do a quick wrap up, so they could stamp the words "the end" and be done with this.
not the case, cause Peach and Yoon Oh got kind of a sweet farewell. as is their relationship or romance started-out in the blink of an eye, but as the pace was very mellow - same with the emotions (as they were more focused on the dead/ghost thing) it feel very organic and the fact that there wasn't any angst, on the whole gay issue also seemed fitting (cause they existed in a universe of 2) it had a very warm, accepting and cozy feel to their whole "situation". even that end was somehow fitting, as it was a continuation of the same feel throughout their relationship and they got to convey their heartfelt emotions, let alone confess their love. the "puff" of smoke at the end was like a sign from heaven - kinda like a reminder that "u might not see me, but i'm still here with u..." so a bit cloying and cliché (but lets face facts, Peach and Yoon Oh 'ship' was almost magical - so that ending kept the theme going) fitting.
oh well, never mind - it was a perfect watch until the end - well the end was a let down. but it would be no matter what cause its the end - and will say this again Mario (Tommy) made this drama for me - yeah everyone else added and did a good job. but Tommy was "it" for me from start to finish - yup i'm "whipped"
both Yukiko and Morio r adorable - my heart goes out and aches for them in a different ways, and considering how Morio is treated by society let alone the law, i'm worried this gonna turn tragic by the end - i hope not. cause they so sweet, i want a fairytale plot for them with minimum bumps, until the "happily ever after" ending - asking for too much?!? lol idk
great acting and not a boring moment - a lot of mindless violence but that was a given - sadly. but there heartwarming, even funny moments that make this a good movie - great job done by all
but how long he wait until he called Sato? on Sato's part he already made the last move, the ball was literally in Bo Chun's court - and Sato thinking "i wish i hadn't given him the camera, cause now i don't have a reason to contact him.." was a sad moment for me - he was sweet and vulnerable and deserved better. same with Bo Chun asking him how he feels about him - Again - sorry but it was time for Bo Chun to step up / man up or whatever the frack up... and be the one to confess - but we'll go with puppies and rainbows as everyone else is happy, so whatever.
this had great momentum, but this was a "let's stick a pin in-it" ending - but the end so never mind

that makes up for them becoming Gondo's apprentice's? he at least knowing nothing but how to be a thug, thought up a way to take in the girls and made them work - not commendable, but it's better then coffee and food from time to time -
sorry this was disappointing - she didn't deserve to be forgiven considering how important she became to them, acting the benevolent friend - they thought her motivation was kindness and bigheartedness while it was guilt - so plz
this sweet wrap up is an insult to justice - and it's infuriating - if it was my mother she would've gotten slapped at the least - or i just would've walked out Never to come back again. the all forgiving, all understanding attitude the J-drama's feed us, all the time is really grating...
