I wasn't expecting much as the synopsis sounds like any other BL and the cover photo on Gagaoolala doesn't look that great, but it was a nice surprise. The setting was unusual compared to other BLs, which I really liked, and overall it's a cute and easy watch. Nothing too memorable, but enjoyable nonetheless.
For all the people who are complaining about that Great and Tyme are alive and too well at the end: are you sure…
I think they are, because the time on Great's watch moved on from 11:04 to 11:05 which is past the time both their four minutes would've been up. Or maybe they're just both in the afterlife together π€
Totally agree with you. It was a bit hard to follow but at the end somewhat made sense. But who is this lukwa?…
As I understood it, Lukwa was just a random person he briefly met at the art gallery in real life and the memory of it was just woven into his alternate reality while he was dying. And I guess the other lady was the creator of the art installation. To me, she looked like she knew both Great and Lukwa would experience those 4 minutes, but it doesn't get explained further so I just like to believe she experienced the 4 minutes herself and there isn't more to it π Otherwise I don't get it either, haha.
And yes, the NC scenes were amazingly done! Although that's one part where I was a bit disappointed with Bible's performance, because his face looked a bit empty-ish. But I get it, it must be hard to film scenes like that, so I'm not complaining either! :D
I have to admit tho, I didn't even realise it was the KinnPorsche OST, even though I watched KinnPorsche twice π
Great drama. I loved it, although I do not like the point they kept on making that everyone who commits suicide…
I see where you're coming from and I'm a 100 % against the belief that people who commit suicide go to hell. But I think it's an important part of the story for different reasons:
1. The premise wouldn't work as well otherwise. Why would a grim reaper care if a person kills themself? It only matters because hell is full which causes problems for Jumadeung and the grim reapers as "employees" have to deal with it. 2. A lot of people hold the belief that suicide is a sin and the punishment is eternity in hell. So, it's a concept people are familiar with and it makes it easier to grasp, I think. 3. It's a point of conflict between Koo Ryeon and Mr Park, because they both have vastly opposing views on suicide and it makes for an interesting discussion that could be thought provoking for viewers: Are people who commit suicide just weak an deserving of hell or are they lost souls who desperately seek help and can't find it?
That's kinda how I see it. But as far as I remember (I've watched it ages ago) Koo Ryeon is the only character to really question the whole going to hell thing and if it wasn't for her, I probably would've felt the same that it's icky.
They both just moved on from each other. Ba-Mhee got back with Tae and Judy just... didn't care? Idk. I feel like…
I actually liked Ba-Mhee and Tae's storyline and I haven't seen the trailer beforehand, but yeah I guess if you were hoping for a GL couple it was just bait unfortunately :(
I loved it! Yes, it was confusing and there were a few moments where I thought I had literally lost the plot, but it all made sense in the end.
I especially loved that none of the characters were entirely good or bad. All of them made questionable choices and none of them were portrayed as either villains or heroes. While I did judge them for some of the things they did, I could still sympathise with them. I mean, Great was the driver in a hit and run and, even worse, was an accessory to murder, but I still wanted him to have a happy ending. Even Tyme who'd usually be the innocent love interest, poor but with a heart of gold, is driven by revenge up until the end.
Also, it was surprisingly explicit ( I didn't realise there are different versions and I'd picked the spiciest one), but I think it added to the overall raw feel of the show.
Compared to the other actors, especially Fuaiz, Bible's performance was a tiiiny bit disappointing, but it didn't take away from how great everything else was.
Well anyone tell what happened to Ba mhee and Judy?
They both just moved on from each other. Ba-Mhee got back with Tae and Judy just... didn't care? Idk. I feel like they could've fleshed out Judy's character more, but I guess she wasn't really serious about Ba-Mhee either so it wasn't a big deal for her
I think I would've enjoyed it more had I not expected an OffGun BL storyline. Out of all the characters the main characters were the most boring, imo, and it's like they weren't even part of the overall story... Ryan didn't seem like a part of the friend group at all and he didn't seem to care about any of them either
time jumps are just lazy writing. I say this with my whole chest. they back themselves into a corner and donβt…
Also, they're always written like there's no way for the characters to stay in contact. Yes, it kinda gets explained in this one, but it's still always soo annoying.
