So, it's taken me so many years to finally finish this. I looked at the history on my list, and I put it on hold seven years ago. JESUS. It's not because it wasn't a good series, actually it was a really good series! I loved it. It's because back then I couldn't find all the subs, so it wasn't possible. I'm so relieved to have finally completed this drama! I only got to episode eleven last time, so it was weird to see all of this new and weird content I never knew before. Almost felt like I was watching deleted scenes lol. But they were really good. I would definitely recommend this. 100 %. Would i rewatch this? Hm... I don't know. It took me seven years to finish it, I don't know if I'd try that all over again. It was really good, but felt like a forced re-watch just to get it off my list. So it's hard to say if I will. Now, between the original and the K-drama version, which do I like the best? It's sad to say this, but I'd definitely go for the K-drama version.
god, i feel bad. there was a lot i hadn't seen of 2018 apparently lol. The only ones I really knew were Just Between Lovers, I'm Not A Robot, and Come And Hug Me. It sucks, because rn I'm in a rewatching faze, so watching new dramas, even if I feel like I should, will be a big no-no. Oh well. One day...........
Omfg. I can't believe myself. I can't believe I dropped this. What was wrong with me?! Jesus. This is one of my favourite tw-dramas now. I effing loved it. I loved their love, their chemistry, their lovers spats, the storyline. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. I loved the message it sent us, and lol, YES IT DID HAVE A LOT OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS. Someone commented that, and I was worried, and yep, a lot. But luckily, in the end, it gave us such perfect reasons and conclusions. I'm a little mad that they never put those two cut scenes into the drama, the one where they're dancing in white clothes, or where they're in some hotel... LOL RUFNIEDM But I was so excited for them. Sucks it didn't happen. Even without it, it was amazing <3. 100 RECOMMEND.
Love this series. From their love, the music, the acting, and the story line. It just is so perfect. I just can't stay away from this drama for more than a few years, before I'm lured back in. It's intoxicating. It doesn't help that I effing love Ji Sung.
Omg. The trailer looked amazing. It looked like they had really good chemistry. It really makes me want to watch this! I've never watched a Thai drama before, though. Maybe this is where I should start?
my first drama ever! i remember first discovering this on crunchyroll, and thinking how weird their lunch boxes were. memories! i haven't watched it since. maybe i should try one day. it's been like 10 years. i think it's basically that i feel so sad about the female actress :[ she was my favourite korean actress...
i am so effing disappointed in this series lol. this is the best one? i don't agree. i had to force myself, put the series on x2 speed quite a few times. it was a painful watch. i dont know if it's because i rarely watch family dramas, because i prefer romance more... but i just found this unbearable to watch. and i dont know who commented about it, but they made it seem like there was going to be a major death, for example, it sounded like jung hwan was going to die... it was so misleading. so i kept waiting for it, waiting for his plane to crash or something, but he was fine. which was great, but because of it, i got way confused about things. i guess i shouldn't read half the comments, then? lol. i dont know what to write, because i was unbelievably disappointed with this series. it was incredibly boring. i liked the dialogue once in a while, with the narative speaking. their words were always so beautiful, which was great. i personally found Ryu Joon Yeol and Hyeri to have beautiful heated chemistry. i didn't see any chemistry with Park Bo Gum. it just felt forced to me. it felt like friendship. i just wasn't a fan. the two relationships i loved: bo ra and sun woo <3. they had amazing kissing scenes. what an amazing chemistry those two had. also, i really didn't expect to love them this much, but man ok and jung bong... what a beautiful relationship. i seriously loved them. i could have watched a drama with those two as main leads. they were fantastic together. im glad i finished this, it is now off my plan to watch list, tygod. would i watch this again? hell no. would i recommend this to anyone? hard to say. it would depend on their personality. for example, this drama gave me similar vibes to a poem a day k-drama. everyone seemed to love it but me lol. so i guess it depends on what you like. out of all the reply series, my favourite has to be 1994. it was the best imo. yes, they effed up the ending quite a bit, but it was still better than this. plus the guest starring from 1997 was so much better. i'm really disappointed there wasn't much in this drama. only a few scenes and that's it. it really sucked. i realize this is a bad review, but i just don't get it, guys. how can you rate this a 10, when in my mind it's not worth above a 4. i guess this drama was just not my cup of tea. i feel bad, i wish i liked it, but i just did not.
i've been marathoning the reply series for the first time, and i effing love him. i get so happy when i see he's in the next reply series. i love how they cast him each time! him and his character's wife. it's so great. he's perfect for the role. i seriously love him. i'm a little sad, though, because there's some series i've watched a long time ago that i would never rewatch, and apparently he was in them. ugh, it kinda sucks, because i don't even remember him in those dramas :[. but, there's still plenty to watch too! definitely one of my new favourite actors! he's amazing.
this was really good. i loved all the characters and their bond. i felt a little disappointed when it started to getting draggy during the portion where she goes to Australia... it felt like they were just trying to use up episodes or something. 21 seemed like too many episodes. if they hadn't included that portion, i would've been happy. but i guess because they did include it, it allowed time for the male second lead to move on. but then i think, wasn't that just teasing him by thinking he had a chance when there's no way he ever did. anyways, thank heavens, they made it up on the last episode. that was such a good episode. i really enjoyed that.
i feel like i'm one of the only people who loved the main couple and wasn't disgusted or uncomfortable with it. he wasn't her brother, what's the big deal? they were so close like childhood friends they treated each other as siblings, until they realized they really just loved each other, and i don't think there's anything wrong with that. plus, they really, and truly suited each other. i loved seeing them together. i loved how sweet and gentle he was towards her and then the next moment they'd be fighting and bickering. it was beautiful. so when they screwed that up, and added the Australia portion, i got so mad. they didn't deserve that. it was so obvious it was a plot device to prolong the episodes. i hated it so much lol. thank god for the last episode, huh?
also, am i the only one who LOVED they used the same mother/father actors? I WAS SO EXCITED. AND AND, THE EPISODE WHERE HE MEETS HIS OTHER CHARACTER FROM 1997, I DIED. all of the 1997 guest starring, i died. i wish they had some every episode, it was so effing great.
anyways, would i re-watch this again? No. i did enjoy it, but had too much anguish for me to rewatch it. would i recommend this? yes, definitely. i think everyone should watch this at least once! it was a beautiful watch.
Did they literally just queer bait me with the character bingrae? Like seriously? I mean I guess he was exploring…
YES. i was so mad. it just felt unjustified for his character. i really did not like that. in comparison to 1997, they really lacked in this area. ugh, so maddening. why would they do that if they're just going to switch him? it wasn't even in a natural way, imo. it as just like one day he liked him, the other day a girl is interested in him, so he is too. it was just so weird.
one of my favourite actors. he's amazing. in anything he's in, i love it. the first drama for me to notice him was in strong woman, and god, i always think, i should rewatch it - but only for him. i wouldn't care for the rest of the drama, but him, it might be worth seeing. i remember i would laugh so hard i'd have tears. and then, while you were sleeping... it was the effing best. i loved everything about him in that role. i was a mess. im currently marathoning the reply series, and he's in 1994. i was like, is that him.... am i losing it? im glad i wasn't. i love when i can recognize my favourite actors even in minor roles. speaking of which, a poem a day, even though he was only in one episode, it was amazing, and so sad. god, whatever he's in, he wins me over (not like he even has to try, let's be real). i need to watch more from this guy! he definitely needs a main role, he definitely deserves it. although, like the below mentioned, if he was, maybe it wouldn't be as amazing roles. so i'm on the edge about it now lol!
so i finally finished it! took a few years to attempt it. It was good. a lot different than i thought it would be. i thought it would be like love rain, and i didn't really like that one, but i really liked this one. see, for me, it was a fun watch. but a 10 rating? a masterpiece? no. i don't agree with that. it was a nice, slice of life story, but really, there wasn't anything that would make me watch this again. i'm glad i watched it, learned their story, but that's the end for me. i definitely would recommend this, because even though for me it was a one time watch, i still think it's a beautiful series to be watched at least once!
i really loved this. i was hoping everyone was wrong about it changing its course near the end, but unfortunately, they were right. the last 15 episodes were a disappointment. but first half was really good! beautiful. im not sure if i'd recommend this as i have mixed feelings now about whether i loved this after those 15 episodes happened. im not sure what they were thinking. they added all this unnecessary drama and heartbreak for nothing. it's too bad. if not for those episodes, this would've been one of my favourite dramas.
and i dont know who commented about it, but they made it seem like there was going to be a major death, for example, it sounded like jung hwan was going to die... it was so misleading. so i kept waiting for it, waiting for his plane to crash or something, but he was fine. which was great, but because of it, i got way confused about things. i guess i shouldn't read half the comments, then? lol.
i dont know what to write, because i was unbelievably disappointed with this series. it was incredibly boring.
