Essentially "Because the plot required it." It didn't really make much sense in the special episode either.
Yup - I think you answered your own question there! It's sort of like "Why didn't Romeo & Juliet just run away together instead of going for that extremely overcomplicated and dangerous plan that had a million things about it that could (and did) go wrong? [Sorry, spoiler alert]
I watched this again - it's pretty much Standard BL Plot #3, but it's really well-acted, which makes quite a bit of difference. I would like to study genetics so I can engineer a virus that will wipe out all fujoshis, but other than that, this is really cute and enjoyable.
Yes, they really like to draw this out as much as possible. Flashbacks have been problematic from Ep 1 and continue…
"Warm" as in "so angry I want to burn something down", or "warm" as in "aww, my heart is so happy and warm!"
I am getting a little exhausted by the way Nut pauses for 10 seconds between every word - it's OK sometimes, but it comes off as mannered when it's done too much. An occassional flashback is OK, but like you said, it's gotten to the point where it interrupts what I'm feeling about what is happening NOW, and if you're going to cast talented actors like this, trust them to convey what they're feeling!
And I'll point out, not one flashback to the sex, so I guess nobody's thinking about that.
He was betrayed by a good friends and outed, which is more than "some stuff" - he had his whole life and sense…
There's nothing wrong with Shinwoo - I like him and I want him to be the endgame. My point is that people are criticising Daon because he needed like a whole day to put his shattered life back together before he was ready to tell TK how he feels, and Shinwoo still hasn't. As for caring about TK, it was Daon who took him under his wing, made all his friends accept TK, and did everything he could to make him feel wanted and accepted - not least of which by Shinwoo - and socialized. Everyone has forgotten that - and this was while Shinwoo was saying he hated TK and wanted nothing to do with him. We know Shinwoo didn't really hate him and we know why he said it, altough his reasons are much, much weaker than Daon's and being actively mean to someone is a lot worse than being unable to confront them becausde your life just been destroyed. Everyone has been quick to forget what a total dick Shinwoo was at the beginning of the series, and not just for one ep.
It's fine to prefer Shinwoo to Daon, but it's really strange for anyone to have such total lack of sympathy for him (I'm not talking about you) and actively dislike him. There are a lot more people below saying they forgive Sohee than there are people with anything nice to say about Daon.
And just like that So Hee got her redemption. Ahh, what an adorable episode. Shin Woo is such a sweetheart. Da…
He was betrayed by a good friends and outed, which is more than "some stuff" - he had his whole life and sense of self upended. I don't see anything wrong with him wanting to start over. At least he can now say what he wants and feels. Shinwoo can't, and he needs to.
I'm confused. Nam Goong is the self-proclaimed stylist. So why does he assign ShinWoo (who doesn't even know the…
I think it was 100% to push them together. Shiwoon is a matchmaker.
Baggy sweaters seem to be the thing right now in Asia. Have you seen Top Secret In Love? At least it gets cold in Korea. In Thailand it's 35 degrees and a billion % humidity every day. I'm surprised they haven't all died of heat stroke.
Even for everyone who likes slow pacing, wasn't that pushing it a bit? Again, it's not the pacing of individual scenes - it's the whole. I like that scenes are given time to develop, and I'm not generally tempted to put it on a higher speed. But there was a LOT of flashback in this ep and not a lot happened for the time spent, and we didn't cover much new ground.
There was no real development of their relationship, which was odd - not even a continuation, really. I wonder if maybe the love scene last ep was too early - it seems like it's been forgotten by the characters. For the pacing of this, the physical aspect of their relationship sure zipped in and then away in a flash. For all the flashback, neither character really seems to be thinking about that rather big change in their relationship - not even a reflection on how something as simple as a hug will be affected by Phob's surgery.
It's not feeling like this is going to have a happy ending. That this was set a long time ago makes me nervous, because there are things that might have considerably different outcomes 20 years ago than they would have today.
That was a terrible ending. It wasn't actually an ending. I really can't recommend this to anyone - it was disappointing from beginning to end, and even the good acting wasn't really enough.
Honestly, the directing and editing was excrutiating to watch at times, so I'm not even surprised they missed…
You can't view it as disrespectful - the hardest decisions editors & directors make is what to include and what not to - they probably filmed two or three times the footage that ended up in the final cut.
But just because it's not disrespectful doesn't mean it wasn't incredibly stupid. I'm trying to imagine the thought process. "Hey, let's extend Gun's scenery-chewing to excruciating lengths and then show the most awkard scenes a hundred times in unnecessary flashbacks. We'll have to cut out most of Pitch & Bank, but nobody ever cares about the secondary couples anyway."
Well said! I loved Pitch and Bank's chemistry a lot it felt much more natural than Sky and Sun, mostly because…
Thank you! I'm not sure why Tenon had such a positive impact on me - probably those eyes, and also I'm shallow and he has a hot body. But I hope we hear more from him, and more of that pairing.
I was okay, but by the end, I was kind of confused about the whole money exchange between Nice and his friend.…
The money was apparently for his friend to make a stock purchase. It's a little random. Nice moved out because he was hurt that Kawin's confession wasn't sincere and he only said it to cover his investigation into what he thought was Nice's criminal activities. Kawin is pretty lucky Nice forgave him because that was awful. Although they're both awful for wearing all those Nazi symbols.
Now I also understand from twitter that we apparently were robbed of some of their scenes. Absolutely HATE it…
I wonder if the youtube versions have a few more minutes - sometimes that's the case. If there's a bunch of PitchBank scenes sitting around somewhere, I think we're owed a viewing!
Now I also understand from twitter that we apparently were robbed of some of their scenes. Absolutely HATE it…
You mean we had to watch tortuously long Sky crying scenes and boring flashbacks when we could have had more PitchBank? I hope the scenes were at least filmed and can be released later. I honestly wouldn't have minded if Father had shot Sun and the rest of the ep was PitchBank.
