No I think they gonna end up together. From my pov I didn't see they broke up. Both main leads business partner…
There's a deleted/alternative scene where Daji is the one who kisses Zhou Shui on the bus in the last episode (or maybe she kissed him back or something like that, I don't recall). It honestly made me rethink the ending imo
Ding Yuxi is such a great actor! His eyes are enough to make the viewer feel the character's sentiments. I mean, I already knew that from watching Love Game in Eastern Fantasy (which I absolutely loved and recommend), but he's somehow even more impressive here? I'll be looking forward to his next works.
Some Korean friends said that Culinary Class Wars really did have a big impact in South Korea and its culinary industry, so I guess that explains it. I thought it was a good, entertaining show.
I recently finished When Life Gives You Tangerines and it really was an outstanding drama as well! I was crying my heart out in pretty much every episode. Very well-written and directed. I'm especially happy for Yeom Hye-ran... everyone did great but I thought she was the clear standout. What a fantastic actress!
I can understand the discontent of some fans but it is what it is :/ I believe that capturing the audience's lasting love matters more than winning an award.
This drama was a conflicting watch. I loved the cinematography and thought the actors had great chemistry, even though their characters were extremely flawed (which I don't think it's a bad thing, but I can understand why some people looking for a romance might dislike it) and unbearably naive. I had to pause and sigh in disbelief several times. I often thought to myself, "What is this scriptwriter even thinking?"
Which is why it may seem strange when I say that I was really, truly cheering for Daji and Zhou Shui to get it right. This might sound harsh, but you have to accept these impulsive and frankly foolish characters for what they are. After all, who hasn't ever felt affection for someone like that?
The ending wasn't a surprise. We viewers literally saw it coming from the very first scene. Still, I felt sad. And that's precisely the reason why I would still rate this drama quite highly. Such a Good Love made me feel true hope and true sadness. Having said that, I don't think I'll ever rewatch it. I would probably come to dislike it.
I loved it!!! I started watching this because of the historical setting (there aren't many Japanese period dramas that are shorter in length), and I didnāt have high expectations, but this! This is the drama I wanted.
Our leads are so charming. They could easily have come off as too mousey (FL) or too shameless (ML), but the actors did an amazing job of making them nuanced, endearing, and easy to root for. The ensemble cast is also great! The best thing about Usotoki Rhetoric, though, is the overall tone of the show. Thereās no gore and no over-the-top dramaājust good, well-crafted mysteries to be solved. You can rest assured, you wonāt be bored. I love classic detective shows, so I was all in :D
And, of course, the production. I imagine this didn't have an exorbitant budget like some other shows, but they really made the most of it. The quaint town of Tsukumoya felt real, warm, and alive. (Honestly, who cares for a big budget if your drama has no soul? It's a waste of money and resources.)
This is a unique and captivating series about the different reasons people lie. There are plenty of fast-paced cop thrillers out there, but I feel like we donāt get shows like Usotoki anymore, which is a shame. For some reason, it reminded me of one of my favorite animes, My Apothecary Diaries, even though there arenāt a lot of similarities between the two when you think about it lol
I'm crossing my fingers for a second season. Like Kinou Nani Tabeta, I could keep watching this for multiple installments. 10/10
I took my sweet time with this one because I didn't want it to end but it still wasn't enough. It feels like I just left ęé¢Øå°é¢ and returned to the city, and I miss it. I want to go back to a windy place :(
A drama that came to me at the right time and will stay with me forever. 10/10
One of the best dramas I've ever seen. Beautiful, warm, heartbreaking. A masterclass in storytelling anchored by stellar performances from our main leads Han Suk-kyu and Kim Seo-hyung. 8.4 is a really good rating but almost laughably low when you see some of the dramas people boast about here imo
This is a short series, but it's one you shouldn't binge. Take your time and savor it.
I don't really know what to say about this one. Was it cute? Yes. I especially liked the first few episodes, and it was nice for a weekly watch! I just don't think I would have stuck with it if I had binged it.
I think the actors did a good job, and the drama was well-directed, but the second half felt a bit too draggy and therefore boring to me. Also, I liked the main couple better during the banter phase when they weren't a couple yet and more like platonic friends with a mutual crush š When they finally got together, that effortless romantic chemistry just wasn't there.
This arc is my favorite by a long shot.
