if i watch it i'll try my best to not compare it (though it may be hard with it being one of my faves)

excited but very hesitant. not sure if i'll want to watch this or not. not sure if i should watch it while airing or wait. i guess we'll just have to see as the time comes.

i personally think she's quite good and very versatile. she can handle funny roles and incredibly serious ones so i'm not too worried about her portrayal of HYX/CYR besides her pulling off a high schooler. honestly though, i'm a little more worried for hyoseop. i love him as an actor, but he just doesn't give me li zi wei at all. and if anything, i'm mostly worried about the writing and the changes they may make to "kdramaify" it lol

i feel like this article should mention it's a remake of sood

i also love how the one represented death, but dome and khatha represented adam and eve. within the show, they show how adam was "given" eve because he was lonely and the devil tempted them with the apple, despite that being the only thing they weren't allowed to do. similarly with how khatha was lonely before chan/dome and he greedily chose to keep him to himself despite knowing the consequences (even moreso at the end when he goes to find dome in the other universe). it's an interesting religious connection they made that isn't even that evident until the end.

this was so much better than i thought it'd be. i came in expecting to drop, but it surprised me with the quality and acting (ofc anything with gun and nanon would be great anyway). i didn't think it was confusing at all and actually quite enjoyed the premise between the past/present, science/religion, and betrayal and loneliness. it was certainly not perfect and had many plot holes, but overall it had a great story about greed, loneliness, and the connections we make with others. it was also a lot darker than i anticipated which was a pleasant surprise. nanon was a scene stealer in this one. probably one of my fave roles from him.

when you go up against the devil by shooting him with a gun

such a gorgeous poster

i didn't think this was very slow or super unrealistic and i adored most of the characters. but i could never get over how the fml treated the ml. besides their painful discomfort and awkwardness around each other (even after dating), i feel like every time i watched their couple scenes she was always annoyed, angry, or telling him what to do. then he'd have to figure out what was wrong and how to make it up to her. maybe i remembered this wrong, but it really brought my mood down from what was otherwise quite a cute, fluffy romance.

i'm sure there are (i don't really know any), but i also doubt it'd have as big of a community and as many underrated jdramas on there as mdl does. i've seen so many unsubbed 100 viewer jdramas on here.

wdym by app? an app like mdl?

i started this as a big fan of the movie and i won't lie, it was pretty hard to adjust to the drama format. i kept forgetting who was playing who and every new scene would catch me off guard. but it was such a good and intense show. it didn't feel too similar to the movie (so not repetitive). i was on the edge of my seat at times. overall, really well done and worth the watch if you're a fan of the movie. just don't expect it to be the exact same, even the characters.

hard to say i enjoyed this, but also hard to say i didn't. it was super intense at points and at others quite boring. i'm not entirely sure what the main message was supposed to be. it was frustrating, yet thrilling. the last episode is absolutely scarring (yuno). cast did really well in their respective roles. it was enjoyable, just not very good?

very true. it makes you wonder just how much she actually remembers. she went back to her racing job though, dunno which house she went to though lol. maybe it's cuz i'm so used to terrible open ended endings, but i was actually pleasantly surprised with how much post-memory loss content they gave us. i swear it's always like a single scene where they see each other again and look at each other in a freeze frame as the credit roll 😭 my jaw would drop if they'd ever dedicate an entire last ep to that.

he kinda reminds me of jamyjamess a bit. i hope he gets more roles cuz he's seriously talented

honestly, you've already watched most of the kdramas i can think of that are similar (like buspro, hpl, wwwsk, 1%, love to hate you, etc). i think it's sorta been a more trending genre recently with the workplace fluffy romcom stuff. the only one i can think of that you haven't seen yet is the secret life of my secretary, but it's sorta ever so slightly kinda toxic

this was my first ever drama so it holds a special place in my heart. i think i even rewatched it and i'm not a rewatcher. but every time i think about it, it's actually such a bad drama 😭 if i watched this now, i'd probably rate it quite low. not just for the toxicity of the couple or the unconsensual fish kisses, but also how slow most of it is until their university days. like that horrendous time skip between high school and college where they SOMEHOW made hyunjoong's hair look worse??? and the (if i remember correctly) annoying side characters yada yada ya. it's interesting how this originally hooked me into dramas lol, but at the same time it's kinda a comfort watch

so this was cancelled?

i was invested in the main couple more and my fave character was jieum. i never found it boring. we all have diff things we like when we watch.

i wasn't a big fan of either actors and thoroughly enjoyed it. didn't read the webtoon (didn't even know there was a webtoon). not even a big fan of romances.

if you want to enjoy something, try to not go in with high expectations from hype because you'll more than likely be sorely disappointed. you don't have to judge others who enjoyed it just cuz you didn't yikes. everyone has diff povs and preferences yk...
