it was obvious who was going to win because they kind of spoiled it in the initial trailers, but I kinda wish Earth had won - reward the least toxic person for once - but I get that probably wouldn’t have been realistic. I actually really loved Yidol, it was so overly dramatic, but to me it didn’t feel quite as dark as the 2 previous stories, which made it an easier watch. And I think I was one of the few people that felt sympathetic towards Peak the whole way through. New Ship is better than this, but this in my opinion was way better that War of Managers!
initially this confused me a little, because I only watched UWMA as it was airing and that was a while ago now. And I decided I shouldn’t rewatch it because this would either be too different or it’d be too similar and therefore seem repetitive. But I started watching Between Us and I felt like I was missing chunks of the story, so I decided to skip through UWMA to just watch some of Team and some of Wins scenes. And there’s some differences I really wasn’t expecting - in the first episode Win is a completely different character- he’s not the cheeky character we know him as in UWMA he’s almost as stone faced and serious as Dean - I’m not sure why they’ve decided to go in that direction with his character here, because I feel like they could still go with the same narrative without changing his personality- for example: he could be so laid back and unserious because he feels like nothing has ever been worth being serious for. They’ve also restructured the timeline of their relationship because by the first retreat Team and Win had this comfortable flirty banter thing going on- after the ep2 preview I’m assuming that in Between Us them sleeping together is the trigger that sets their “flirty banter” dynamic like in UWMA into motion. It’s just weird because it feels like it’s relying on you remembering UWMA but it also wants you to have forgotten WinTeams storyline. I’m not saying that I don’t like it, I did enjoy the first episode quite a bit, but I initially got frustrated by the change to Wins character and production wise there are some weaker points (that I wouldn’t even notice if my standards weren’t so ridiculously high because of News other currently airing drama which is incredible). I’ll be quiet now because I do like this, and after that promo it gave me glimpses of Win being the playful Win I knew and loved from UWMA BUT I’ll be making sure not rewatch anymore UWMA so I don’t make any more early judgements which make me frustrated over something that isn’t even an issue! The one change I did really love was Win very clearly asking for consent - what an upgrade! Anyway I’m excited to see what’s to come.
Love to see how much other people love Yoon Park - I’m still hurt and angry about watching 100 episodes of Beautiful Love Wonderful Life just for his character to end up friendzoned and his love interest to end up with her emotionally abusive ex!
really like the first couple, but the second couple is winning this for me. Loved RJ trying to flirt/seduce and Alex just laughing at his attempt. Really looking forward to seeing how their relationship changes - they’re both characters that need love and growth so I’m excited to see that happen!
I kind of forgot about this and left it at episode 15 for a couple of weeks - I decided today to give it 1 more episode and if I didn’t like it I’d drop it - that was 8hrs ago - I just finished episode 26! definitely not going to be dropping this!
Like everyone else i agree that the first story was by far the best, but I'm actually enjoying the third. Everything in it is so over dramatized and all the characters are a new level of messy - i'm not saying that its good, but I am having fun watching it, whereas with the second story i was so bored i watched the majority of it in 2x speed.
I don’t understand how this drama does this!? This is a short drama - and when I’m this invested in the leads - I should be annoyed that we spent a whole episode on a side characters back story. But I am so unbelievably happy episode 5 was all about Tsubasa. This was truly such a beautiful episode, I cried throughout, but I loved every minute. This drama isn’t doing any of the tropes that usually make me love a drama, but this is my favourite drama I’m watching currently.
I dislike the father almost more than Chan- he doesn’t care about either of his sons. If Tian he told his father the truth I think he would definitely cast him out. The only time I’ve seen the father show him any sort of love it was him trying to manipulate Tian into revealing his secret. And the way he treats Yang is just appalling. Also Bua is getting on my nerves (at this point it feels like she loves Yang, and not Tian) - she’s so into finding out the truth that she’s well aware could seriously hurt Tian, but she’s open to telling the father about what they’re looking for! Yes, Yang is looking for the truth with her but he knows not to tell everyone what they're looking for - he’s trying to find the truth and protect Tain. I just feel so bad for Tian - everyone either wants to kill him or to change him - thank goodness he has Yang and potentially Jiu!
I have been watching lots of Thai, Japanese and Taiwanese dramas recently but I haven’t been watching many Korean dramas at all lately - I think I’ve been in a Kdrama slump - because I haven’t fallen completely in love with one in a long time, but I slected this one randomly - I’d always avoided it because I thought it was going to be too painful to watch. And oh my goodness (I’ve only seen episode 1) I’m completely obsessed with this! that first episode is so perfect! it’s made me remember why I started watching kdramas and why I love them so much. I haven’t wanted to stay up all night watching a drama in so long - I feel my slump may be ending! thank you Just Between Lovers. Also I always forget the charisma and charm Lee Jun Ho brings to his roles and then he appears on screen for a second and I remember why he’s one of my Dramaland faves.
I remember when this was airing there was a to. of buzz around it, but I think I was watching too many dramas at the time. I’m tempted by this - is it as good as the comments make it seem?
I find that lakorns like these aren’t fun to binge watch because it’s a lot of repetitive drama and arguments, but I’m really enjoying certain aspects of this so I’m trying to get through the first 6 episodes so that after that I can watch it week by week, but it’s been a bit of a struggle to binge these 6 because Chan and Li say variations of the same things every episode! But I’m on 5 out of the available 6! I’m gonna make it and then I can really enjoy this drama!
this is such a good time to watch! the dating reality show setting is so fun and unique! I’m obsessed with the leads chemistry too! everything in this drama just works so well for me!
I love that although the leads spend very little time together face to face their story and romance still feels so special. Its a credit to the writer and the cast- the casting is so perfect because with this type of comedy it’s essential that you have actors that can do the BIG jdrama overacting and these 2 leads definitely can, but in their quieter more personal scene these 2 leads are so wonderfuly subtle and real, it’s such a credit to them that they are able to do both so perfectly. And can we all just keep going on about how the phone call in episode 4 was everything, so heartwarming! I cant believe we are halfway through already - Im excited to see the boys keep growing and keep support eachother in that growth as they fall in love!
I’ve not really enjoyed MBS’s last few BLs so I thought that even though this has a sad premise it wouldn’t affect me too much because I probably wouldn’t be too attached to it. But I think I’ve made a big mistake! - that first episode was brilliant - I find both of the leads really intriguing, the writing quite beautiful and it visually cinematic. Why is is MBS’s one sad BL that’s the one I know I’m going to be obsessed with!?
i keep on starting to write essay long post’s explaining why I think this series is perfect and why I think these characters are the best written characters in a long timr and why I think Santas performance is one of the best of the year, but then I delete them because everyone that’s watching this knows how beautiful, emotionally rich and incredible this series is
