Manman called Wei Shao "Fujun" two more times in the later episodes but he wasn't there. 😂 Once more…
I thought every "intimate" interaction they had felt meaningful vs skinship for the sake of it. Their scenes, from all the C-Dramas I've watched, are the best I've seen. It didn't feel forced or cringey. And sometimes when it's too much skinship, I feel bad for the actresses bc it's usually more compromising for her than him.
I had to take a break before proceeding to the final 3 eps. I did end up almost rewatching the series again (skipping parts I didn't care for), then finally making it to the final. I still love this series, and even though ep 34-36 was tough, it's still a 10 over for me! Even with so much heartbreak.
i really don't understand why so many dramas - both Cdramas and Kdramas use the childhood connection as a plot device. no one is obsessed with their childhood crush into adulthood as a singular fixation! have they literally not met any other humans along their growth?
the last ep didn't work for me. why would they toss in another storyline and then wrap it up so fast? it doesn't make sense that he would throw away his music career. they're only in college!
Even though a lot of reviews didn't like the final eps, I actually liked the second half of the series a lot more than the first half. It was more serious, and the storyline got more interesting. When he was just starting off as a student and getting into all sorts of shenanigans with Ms Oh and the other students, it was draggy for me. I don't like HS storylines or dramas, so that didn't work for me.
Once Ms. Oh knew he was under over, 1) it was less creepy that she had a crush on him, and 2) it started to actually move the plot along. I don't think it was overdramatic, the final 3 eps, as some categorized it, it worked for me. I was intrigued by the twists and turns as they were unpredictable.
As for the romance piece, I liked that it wasn't so central. Because that wasn't what the story was about. It was about him finding out what happened to his father and uncovering decades of corruption. I appreciated that storyline was kept front and center, and you got to go on the heartbreaking journey with the ML. This is a blended romance; love was part of it, but not central. I do like that she held her own, the FL, and wasn't a damsel. The ending worked for me, too. I always appreciate a wrap-up that looks into the future.
Also, the final scene with Ye Na and the phone call....she came up as "My Love Yu Jeong..." is this hinting at more than friends? Would LOVE that for them.
I couldn't finish it. i could not connect with the leads and couldn't feel their connection. i've been wanting to watch a Dylan Wang series bc i've heard great things about him, but he's so stiff in this role. i usually love Bai Lu, but i didn't enjoy her in this series.
