I liked the series, as it was fun. The romance was a little questionable, like you said. Sometimes Yoh played…
Oh yeah, I missed that completely! You're right about Pun saying he was so alone just to reveal he knew Yoh for centuries. I guess I stopped paying attention at the end.
Seriously, is it rated as high 8.3 when KinnPorsche is only an 8.0 , the Eighth Sense is 8.1 and Moonlight Chicken…
This hasn't finished airing though. If it's bad, the rating will go down when it ends. Most shows always start with high rating (mostly because not that many people have rated it yet - this has 8.3 with 1.3k ratings and The Eight Sense has 8.1 with 20k ratings). Also I think it's way too soon to judge whether it deserves it or not. We still have 10 episodes to go.
"They sped run that plot twist making it very weak." It's the same in the original. It's not a huge plot twist.…
That's the thing - it's not the same. Aoki had a lot more inner dialogue about his confusion and guilt about liking the same peron as Hashimoto and a whole conversation with her about what they like about their shared crush before realizing it's two different people. I honestly expected the episode to end on the "I'm sorry, I like him too!", not getting a condensed explanation of the eraser in the last few seconds. This show has much longer episodes, I just don't understand why did they make this (imo important) part shorter for the sake of a musical. I guess I just loved how sincere and cute it was when Aoki and Hashimoto would list all the things they like about their crush, before amicably settling on being rivals. I think it was important, because it showed how good friends they are and liking the same person didn't change that. I love the Japanese one and I hope this gets better, because I really enjoyed the first episode.
I didn't like ep. 2 at all. The end felt extremely rushed, while we got completely unnecessary musical numbers stretching out the episode. Not mentioning inconsistences - where did they get a male costume for Atom when the lead in play was supposed to be a girl? How did he know how to sing a song so well if he replaced her seconds before the play started? I'd much rather get that last scene more fleshed out, the conversation longer and giving us at least a moment of "oh, are we rivals?" between Atom and Mudmee. They sped run that plot twist making it very weak. Also idk, but it felt like they just went through the motions of the scenes that had to be included. I don't know what's wrong with the acting, but I'm not buying any of the emotions. And I feel like we didn't get enough of Atom's thoughts on his growing crush. Like, one scene he's worried that Kongthap might think he actually likes him and the next he's telling Mudmee he actually likes him. Where did that come from? When did he decide that he likes him?
It was quite fun, but it didn't really feel like a romance. More like a story about group of friends opening a soup store. Especially because Yoh didn't show any romantic interest in Pun until like last episode. Up until then he behaved like a good friend and was always waving off any romantic advances Pun made towards him. How are we supposed to believe that he actually loved him, when all he did on screen was either awkwardly and hesitantly accept whatever Pun was doing or reject it entirely? The amount of times Yoh didn't understand (or pretend he didn't understand) that Pun was flirting with him was a bit annoying.
This was meh. I don't feel any chemistry between Toki and Sahara. There was nothing to convince me that this teacher fell for a student. Maybe it was an issue with how short it was, but I just don't get how and when was this supposed to happen. I was on the fence with student/teacher plot in the first place, but nothing in it convinced me it wasn't weird. Tbh, Sahara had much better chemistry with Nekoto than Toki.
I don't really understand Tew's motivation in the last episode. Couldn't he just call his boss and warn him? It's not like Kenji was some undefeated monster. If the boss was warned, he would've dealt with the assassination attempt on his own. He had enough men to do that. The episode should've ended at 22 minute mark. Everything else felt redundant.
This should've been a bromance or something. I just couldn't buy Kang's and Sailom's love. There was a lot of "best buds" energy and not a lot of romanticism. The actors on their own were great. I loved Perth's emotional scenes. There was just something awkward in their supposedly romantic interactions.
This was pretty fun. Quite simple in plot, but the fact all of those guys are soo serious about their cakes and pies is hilarious. I gotta say the actor who plays Guy is amazing. I couldn't figure him out and I loved his character development. He's flawed but good at heart. Very well written multidimensional character. Peach was dumb but lovely. Shin was there I guess xD Overall a very pleasant watch.
I'm halfway through and I might drop it. Nothing is happening and there's zero chemistry between the main leads. At this point it's very hard for me to believe that Jin has or will have any feelings for Bbomb. He looks so disinterested - damn, he had much more chemistry with that girl Som he was texting. Idk if it's the writing or the actor but Jin seems so bland with no personality whatsoever. The show doesn't give any context as to why everyone thinks he's "the hottest moon". He shows no charisma at all. On the other hand I don't understand what Bbomb sees in him - he's constantly annoyed or upset, never smiles at him, treats him harshly, pushes him away and even when he did say something about "having feelings" for him, it was so unconvincing. It was such an off-hand comment, as if he was just saying it, not actually feeling it. (I might just skip through it for the sake of the plot, but man, this is just boring).
A bit slow, but damn was it funny. Venus is such a brat and Sky is hilarious. I couldn't care less for the other couples though. Well, Venus' brother can stay, he was funny as well. There were many unnecessary scenes that could've been cut for better pacing, but it didn't really take away from the show itself. I had fun.
This was so... pointless? Why would I want to watch the same plot sped up and crammed into two episodes, when I already have a full blown series? I'm disappointed.
Oh wow, this was so boring. And why are the main actors so awkward around each other? They talk soooo much about how they love each other, but I just don't buy it. It feels so empty.
This was an overall such a sweet story. I got really invested in it and I think the main leads have great chemistry. I was especially drawn to Taehyun's emotional scenes. That guy killed it. And if I checked correctly this is their first acting gig? I can see both of them having great future in it.
The last episode confused me a little bit. I wish the time skip between the bridge and the beach was shorter. I also wish we saw more of their relationship evolving in those two years - how long did Dayeol wait for Taehyun? How did they actually start dating?
Cause from what I understand Taehyun has a really hard time with creating intimate bonds with other people and the trauma from childhood affected him so much that him arranging that little getaway was a huge deal. Even after two years of them seeing each other? It would be much better if the time skip was max 6 months or so. But maybe I just don't fully understand the extent of the walls he put put not only as a kid but also during those 2 years since Dayeol left him.
This is a cute show. Not really complicated and with a very bare bones story. Still imo worth watching as an interlude between much heavier and story driven shows/movies.
