LITERALLY SAME. There have been inconsistencies since ep 1 but there's just so much drama and mystery, I have…
30 minutes into ep 23. Not sure if u’ll feel the same way when u watch it but OMG… I’m like speechless… personal opinion though but the whole thing has just became totally, outrageously ridiculous that I could only laugh. Acting wise, awkwardness, not to mention the flow of the story, it’s like OMG… LMAO.

Ikr. Can’t wait for the last 2 eps so i could finally store it in a vault in a middle of nowhere. But before that I’m sure i would have few (or maybe tons) of comments about the endings later on LOL.
OKAY, I AM JUST BLABBING SO PLZ TRY YOUR BEST TO IGNORE ME. THIS ISN'T A SPOILER EVENTHOUGH I TAGGED IT AS ONE.So…
I agree with you on this one. It’s an adaptation and somehow i kinda like this one so far as the pace is ‘faster’ compared to other adaptations (if i remember it correctly LOL). F4: Boys over Flower is kinda a ‘classic’ drama and its the main reason I’m watching it as I wanna see how it would be interpreted this time.
catched up to ep 22 and I hate to say this (yet I’m saying it still LOL) - OMG… the storylines were all over the places that it was so frustrating. I commented on this before but it has reached to a level of totally ridiculous LOL. Editing and execution are quite bad that it’s a pity as the plot is quite unique. And personally, it kinda affects the way the actors were portrayed in this drama.
And as the drama goes by, I have to agree that the lack of chemistry between ML-FL became too obvious. I know that they accepted the fact about death and all but the way they accepted it is a bit too nonchalant. It’s as if they are saying ‘Hey, we live, we die, that’s life’ (with a shrug off their shoulders).
And ‘why am i still watching it then?...’ Literally because I wanna know how it ends LOL.
After reading few of the comments, I realized that nobody mentioned who the FL would end up with. I wish somebody would have mentioned it (or somebody actually did - just that I may have missed it) but at the same time, I hoped nobody would as it’s kinda interesting to be ‘surprised’. After 2 episodes, I even thought of watching the last ep to see who’ll she end up with but I surprised myself that I didn’t LOL. Each episode itself is ‘satisfying’ (for lack of a better word) that I wanna go through the ‘journey together’.
I’m trying this out after reading few comments in here and as at 1st ep. i was totally interested especially…
‘I’m exhausted, totally exhausted…’
I’ve been saying the exact same thing nowadays after getting off from work. And I agree with some of the comments highlighting the directions of this drama;
1. When Nakata sipped her soy latte, she was thinking back of what happened that day. - she’s actually finding/ identifying what were the causes of her exhaustion, - And Toko preparing her snacks slowly is just another way of giving Nakata time to truly identify the cause(s).
2. The song Nakata sang represents her acknowledging, the causes of her exhaustion Out Loud - singing/ saying it out loud is actually a necessary process/ step to truly accepts the root causes of her exhaustion (imo) - only when we know the root cause snd only then we could try to fix it. In this case, Nakata is ‘exhausted’ not just because of her work but also because of the relationship with her boyfriend
3. What advice did Toko gave to solve her problem? None. - its because the actual person who could solve our problem is us alone. Whether we gonna need help from others is literally up to us.
What I got from this first episode; 1. We need to give ourselves a break and truly understands what’s happening in our life whether it’s good or bad. Then we could try to decide our directions whether to try another path or stay on course. Either way, we would be aware of our actions and its consequences (be in control of our own life). 2. Sometime, we just need somebody there to listen or just to be present for us to rambles on about our day(s) whether we are in the wrong or not. 3. It’s important to say things ‘Out Loud’ rather than keeping it bottled up.

No disrespect intended but I cant even bring myself to finish the first 5 short eps. - a total of about 1 - 1.5 minutes (from season 2). I was up to ep 4 then i gave up - failed to convince myself to continue on even when I am literally BORED right now LOL…
I really liked episodes 15-16. Main leads' quarrels were kinda hot 😄 And the way characters behave is a bit…
Agree with you on this one from the perspective of the relationships between ML and FL And DuoR and ChengWL - they’re quite entertaining. I gave up on the flow of the story as it’s quite sigh… (imo) . It’s like they simply pick parts and pieces that they like and just put it together as an episode 😓. I’m sticking with this purely for the ML-FL and Second leads (as a separate ‘drama’ on its own) and because I’m curious about the ending.
Just when I thought that it’s gonna be better after ep 11, it was a bit disappointing in ep 15-16. The flow of the story kinda got all messed up. IMO - It’s more like they are focusing on the key points only without really giving satisfying reasons/ details for these key points. They broke up - but why? Then suddenly FL goes to the ball - but why? what is she trying to achieve exactly? QC had ‘a change of heart/ opinion’ about FL - but why? Yes, they did give a reason for these so called ‘key points’ but it was not delved into properly.
Hmmm… anyway, still gonna plough through the drama as I’m curious about the ending.
The only reason I watched this drama was because of the comments posted here and I'm glad to say that it's worth it especially it's only about 1.5 hours (plus-minus) in total.
I have to admit that ep. 11 and 12 is getting interesting especially because the scripts for both ML and FL are getting better and ‘memorable’ - has more depths. 👏
hmmm... the story plot is kinda unique so I got curious about it which is why i continue watching it purely for the sake of wanting to know how it ends. I've no issue with the FL and ML characters and acting wise, it's ok so it's bearable. Nothing much to it (imo), nothing to 'observe/ explore/ talk' about after each episodes so i would recommend to binge watch it. I just wanna know how it ends...
I'm so glad that the drama followed through with an interesting story till the end with a satisfying ending as it doesn't seem rushed like most of the drama that I saw (imo). Yippee!!! LOL
For those completed the drama and found it interesting (of course, some may not have the same thought as it depends…
... you may realize that 'Behind every great man, there's a great woman behind him'. This was obvious (at least to me LOL) during the 'smuggling' of arm and ammunition episode. FL has shown her 'greatness' when she cleverly strategized on her own to help ML: exchanging the ammunition with wine etc., signing the service order under Yamoto's corp which led to the fall of Yamashita and of course clearing ML's name.
Disclaimer: 'Behind every great man, there's a great woman behind him' - I'm not implying that woman are always 'behind' every man (no disrespect intended). It could be the other way around as well, of course, as we are now in the 21st century. It's just that the phrase itself kinda holds true in regards to this drama (imo).
For those completed the drama and found it interesting (of course, some may not have the same thought as it depends on personal preferences), I would like to believe that at one point you may realize that ...
