i don't give 10s easily, but this was definitely a 10 for me (and my first 10/10 kdrama). i laughed and cried and cheered them on. i was worried the older side of the village wouldn't interest me, but they exponentially grew on me and i sincerely loved every single person in the village. this will probably become one of my comfort dramas now. it felt like home and they felt like family :')
yoon haekang and han seyoon bang yoondam and lee hansol they have romance, but very limited so i wouldn't expect much considering they're portraying middle schoolers and are all also quite young irl
yeah that's because it got into some controversy over insensitive lines about indonesia in ep 5 and many indonesian watchers protested by giving it low ratings on every platform. the lines were quite negatively generalizing so i think it was pretty justifiable to be upset at. sbs apologized, but still (still love the drama though)
i honestly wished they would have revealed the killer a lot later, but it also still (somehow???) worked out. seriously great drama wow. the episodes just flew by
THANK YOU!!! i always feel so lonely amongst all my friends who usually ship the fml with the sml. even if they're great guys, i always end up just supporting the male lead, no matter what (then again, i have yet to watch true beauty LOL). i think the only two times i've ever gotten sls is when i mistakenly thought they were the male lead T^T and if the male lead is toxic, i usually just want the fml to stay single lolol, sorry smls
it actually surprised me how different this and the webtoon were. i thought there'd be at least SOME similarities, but really the only ones are their names and the virus starting from a hamster bite lol. unless i'm missing something?
i was pretty understanding of nayeon for eps 1-2 cuz i imagine it'd be quite terrifying being in that experience but omfg she really did that to my fave boy gyeonsu WTF. but i think the thing that bothered me the most was how namra noticed and literally didn't say anything until wayyyyyy after the fact. like how come she didn't question her about it before nayeon went in??? or WHILE she was doing it???
Why did they repeat like the same 3 songs throughout the entire show lmao
they actually played a ton of diff songs, esp compared to other dramas, but in this one most of the songs have a similar style (slower, nostalgic, melancholic) so you might not have noticed the difference
i really love how they ended it with enough closure for each character, but even with some plots not fully explored (like what happened with jiung's mom), they ended it in a hopeful way. that life will continue on for all of them, for better or worse. it was a happy ending, yet it still felt melancholic to me and i kinda liked that
ofc, these are just my predictions. i think the show itself will be quite good (hopefully). the webtoon is great, i'm just worried based on the netflix original kdrama trends
bang yoondam and lee hansol
