seeing tweets float around that ZLH will fly to Shandong (the province where the drama will be filmed) on 6/8 and ZJM will fly there on 8/8! filming is slated to start on 10/8 so hopefully we'll get official confirmation soon :)
currently watching (on ep 10) but i'm not really that invested in the leads' romance... i'm more curious about the potential romance between the ML's best friend and his shy assistant lol can someone tell me if it's worth continuing just to see how their relationship pans out?
The change of his way of death. In the webtoon The ML died from commiting suicide, which means his death at that…
I thought about this and I'm not sure it will affect much because the reason why he got into the accident in the first place was because he was coming back from Jiwon's funeral. If Jiwon no longer dies in this lifetime, then surely he won't be getting into that accident? I think the whole point is that both of their deaths were unjust so they were given second chances to put things right :)
Finally finished this tonight... Took me a while to click on the final episode cause I knew it would rip me apart and I was right. This was such a special drama, with incredible performances from all the actors but especially Kim Hye-Ja. This drama, especially the last episode, tore me up but I loved it and would highly highly recommend!
It started off strong and then started dragging halfway and then didn't stop dragging... Then everything happened in the final episode? I really wanted to like this version because I like the story and the actors but it became almost insufferably slow halfway through. Honestly, I continued watching just so I could say I finished it. If they cut this down to about 28/30 episodes then it might've been better.
Just finished this series (I know I'm seriously late) and I'm now rubbing my eyes with a cold bottle of water to stop them from swelling after all the crying the last episode had me doing. This isn't a spoiler but rather a word of caution, perhaps - make sure you have a box of tissues at hand for literally every episode. Honestly, every time I heard that guitar intro from Sondia's "Grown Ups" in a scene, it was like someone turned a tap on in my head. Don't let that deter you from watching this masterpiece though. It has gorgeous cinematography, brilliant acting, a wonderful OST, and most of all, a story that transcends all boundaries and shows us what it is to be human. Props to the whole team behind My Mister. I don't know if I've ever watched a drama that managed to shatter my heart yet put it all back to together within an hour and a half, 16 times over. I don't know if I ever will.
Actually, a type of Sandboxes do exist via incubators. There are tons of them in Silicon Valley, these incubators…
Ah okay, I stand corrected about the no-Sandboxes bit then! And thank you for the recommendations - I've seen most of the ones you've listed but I might check out Mr. Queen after it finishes airing. I love Shin Hye Sun and it looks really entertaining :)
Unlike most of the reviews on here, I really enjoyed Start Up - from start to finish. I guess if you watched it as it was airing and you were waiting for episodes each week then the spark will inevitably dwindle because it does become very predictable towards the end. BUT !! I'm a sucker for dramas like these. Man, do I love a cliché. No big twists and turns, just a simple story of a group people trying to achieve their goals to give you hope. Of course, we all know the world of start ups is much darker, and there's no Sandbox to break your fall. But it's nice to dream every once in a while. You know, imagine a world that could be.
And not to sound like a parrot and repeat after almost everyone here in the comments, but Han Ji Pyeong and Won Deok were definitely the stars and stole the show with every scene they were in. I liked Kang Han Na's portrayal of Won In Jae too but it's such a shame that she didn't get more screen time. I felt like the complexities of her character were never fully explored, even though she was supposedly one of the main characters.
All in all, Start Up is definitely a drama for the hopeless romantics who want to be entertained and escape for a bit, rather than shown a reflection of the harsh realities of a capitalistic society.
The Dr. Romantic series is one of the best dramas I've seen in a while. A lot of dramas nowadays are more focused on being realistic and relatable, like Hospital Playlist, which is an incredible series and one of my faves. But Dr. Romantic is a Drama drama. I am constantly on the edge of my seat, as the stakes are always very high at Doldam Hospital. But as much as there is action and suspense, there is humanity and comedy and of course, romance. If you are even slightly considering watching, please do, and start with season 1 because only then will the storyline in season 2 make sense. I was hesitant at first but I'm so glad I watched this series.
Just started watching (finished ep. 5) and all I can say is that this is a Drama drama. Everything is so dramatic from the get-go and although I wasn't expecting it, I LOVE IT. Having a great time.
I loved this drama - 9/10 from me. As some people have said, the FL really performed some mental gymnastics in the last few episodes, which was a little frustrating at times. And I found it a bit weird that they spoke formally to each other right through the very end despite being the same age. But I could forgive that for everything else. Personally, I love dramas that make you feel the butterflies and the heartache that the characters are also feeling and I think DYLB? does a wonderful job of that. Especially during the first half of the series when the characters are being cute and falling in love.
Also, I don't really listen to classical music so I can't comment on their use of it too much. But I thought their storytelling using the Brahms, Schumann and Clara trio mirroring Song Ah and Joon Young's situations was really clever and beautiful. And that last song that Joon Young played at his graduation recital was just... Imagine somebody loving you THAT much. Anyways, I was a bit hesitant at first to watch DYLB? because of some of the reviews on here, and as I watched it I could understand where they were coming from. But I have to say, I'm really glad I watched it.
So sad they had to shorten it to 12 episodes because the ending was really rushed :( But other than that I loved this drama! Might not be for some people who don't like slow-paced dramas but for me it was really nice to just sit and watch two people help each other heal and fall in love.
