I watched the first half as it aired, and then put it on hold for 5 months before I finally finished watching the rest in the last 3 days. The ending was so much better than I imagined, honestly. I can see no faults with it. Simply brilliant. Also as an Inspirit I'm so proud to see how far Myungsoo has come as an actor.
I can definitely see where people who are frustrated by it are coming from, especially since it's unusual for a drama to not end with happily ever after. It's refreshing, and I could think of so many dramas that ended worse even though the main couple everyone rooted for got married and had kids etc etc etc.
Also, !!((kind of spoilerish?))!!, but the Love Alarm scene between Ilsik and Jojo in episode two was SO powerful. I was so emotionally invested and blown away by the whole scenario.
I'll never understand why people who don't enjoy a drama feel the need to insist that it's a bad drama as if it's their life goal to make sure that nobody else likes it too? As for me, I lowkey wish literally anybody else was cast as the leading actress, but I'm still somewhat enjoying this drama? Like there's a lot worse out there but for some reason this is considered the worst drama ever? What?
I watched this with low expectations because I heard so much shit about it, but actually it was good and I wish…
Saying this, it felt a bit awkward seeing how some things were revealed like "Woah! So that's what really happened! It makes sense now!" and then one episode later it turns out that wasn't the whole story at all. It wouldn't be such a crime if this only happened one time, but it happens twice, I think? or was it three times even? Bleh. Still, didn't take much away from my overall enjoyment though!
I watched this with low expectations because I heard so much shit about it, but actually it was good and I wish I didn't skip anything in the first 6 or so episodes (I skipped a lot!) so I could have enjoyed it a bit more in the proper order of events. Really, I should stop reading comments before watching dramas. hahaha. The ending was lovely, honestly. And Go Ara isn't that bad an actress. What's everyone got against her??
I started it because of her myself...i have never seen in her lead role..but here she is good and her character…
She's pretty great in Who Are You: School 2015, if you ever feel like seeing her in another leading role. It's fittingly a high school drama, since she's that age there, and she plays two different characters, a pair of twins, and they're really well differentiated. "Pretty nice and strong" as you said, is what makes her so likeable imo. I have yet to see any of her dramas where I wouldn't describe her with those words, honestly.
/ I do love Doojoon and Yoon Park too! I haven't caught up with this drama since Ep 6, I think? But they're both really likeable so far.
I knew I was going to love this drama when I saw that Kim Sohyun is the leading lady. She's such a good actress, seriously! Isn't she like 18 though? Her character got called 'noona' by Yukwon's character and I found that hilarious. Love it! (And I love Yura too! asdgf)
Never though that this drama can become dumber than it already was, but I guess the writer is doing her best to…
You're comparing W... with Liar Game... a very different drama, which was created for a very different audience with very different interests? Consider this: what you find a 'smart story' may not be what another finds an 'entertaining story'. (And don't get me wrong, I loved the Japanese version of Liar Game, it was fantastic.) I'm not even a big fan of W or LJS myself, but seeing the lack of logic in your comment made me laugh. Thanks for that.
I find that dramas with Jongsuk in main role are generally hit or miss for me, but this one's definitely a HIT, I could tell from episode one and the rest of the episodes so far have only reinforced that. I can't wait for more episodes!
This was an incredible experience... I wouldn't cry at all about the shortness (3 episodes) because I feel like…
I'm sure they came clean in the end, because there's no way cha shik could have convinced her that it was really him that was playing. Also, he didn't seem the type to be able to lie to a blind girl like that at all. He was too nice and proper(?). I really do like that jin mok finally received those compliments sincerely though, as it was long overdue. That whole scene showed that there was nothing wrong with his playing, but don't think he was belittled for no reason as it was ultimately just how he treated yoo seul's mother in the past that earned him the lack of respect from yoo seul and her mother... Basically i think all the characters in this drama were a bit problematic, and deserved what they got (except for yoo seul's accident of course!) But the only way I'll accept that deception in the end is if yoo seul actually figured it out by herself that there was no way cha shik was playing like that, and either suspected it was jin mok playing with her or knew for sure that it was. After all, she was a prodigy, good musical hearing, and having heard him play so many times there's a chance she might have recognised him through his piano playing? Especially now that she's blind and has that heightened sense of hearing going for her. I don't know. I'm actually a bit split between liking the fact that it was an open ending just like that, but also wishing that they had showed yoo seul's reaction to finding out she was deceived.
Kind of want to rewatch this drama now after dots but when I think about the first time I watched it and how I Always found myself looking for other things to do whilst watching (like playing games on the phone, folding paper with no real aim/reason, make coffee/food without pausing) so that I didn't feel too much like I was wasting my time with the draggy episodes where nothing really happened and plot progression was extremely slow... I don't know. I hardly remember much about this drama... aside from Chaewon bc I thought she was great. Also Yoobi. <3 But I'm older now? Maybe it'll make more sense now? I don't know?? To watch or not to watch..............
This started off so great but why do I feel like it's getting boring too fast? Why couldn't they cut the drama into less episodes and have quicker story progression instead of needlessly dragging it out?
I can definitely see where people who are frustrated by it are coming from, especially since it's unusual for a drama to not end with happily ever after. It's refreshing, and I could think of so many dramas that ended worse even though the main couple everyone rooted for got married and had kids etc etc etc.
