For mature viewing only. Not bad for a 2010 drama. It has one of the most sizzling love scene I have ever seen in my many years of drama watching. The two main leads are sexually attractive and have amazing chemistry. It is finally uploaded in youtube but unfortunately without subtitle.
Highly recommended viewing. Accidentally watched this as I browsed thru Netflix and got hooked (as i would normally pass up on these kinds of movies). Just watch the first episode and I swear it will draw you in. Amazing drama.
I loved it! Definitely pulled me out from my drama slump. I did not expect to be sucked into the story but after a couple of episodes, the true beauty of this drama shone through for me. So glad I persisted. Became my number 1 favorite Japanese drama. Funny and heart warming.
Have you watched both of them? Original and remake? Which one is better?
I have watched both 2002 and 2015 versions. I prefer the 2002 version. The combination of the cast (main leads) , ost, and scriptwriting gave me the feels much better than the 2015 version. The only concern is probably the quality of the video because the only copy available I guess is the youtube version though I am very thankful to the uploader. In viewing the scenes, take into consideration that this is a lakorn and a 2002 old one so story/scenes are in keeping with the times. I watched this a long time ago and I can still remember that the ML here was just oozing with so much masculinity. . :-)
OMG the rating goes down to muchhhhhh :'(((((((((How cannnnnnnn :'((((
I feel the same way. This drama should be rated higher.
Too bad so many over rated new dramas out there with the same boring troupes, scriptwriters it would seem can't think of anything new.. Im on a drama slump and re watching old favorite ones these days... :-(
in ep 9. why did they burn the whole village down??
Scorched earth policy - it's a military strategy that aims to destroy anything that might be useful to the enemy. Unfortunately, in that situation in Battle of Changsha, it was a false alarm. At that time, the Japanese has not invaded that part yet but some people preempted and proceeded with the burning. It was a mistake and led to the death of many Chinese and ironically caused by their own people.
Screenwriter butchered the script. The Korean version is so much superior than this. I hated the Korean version's ending and at least that ending got changed here but regretfully still that better ending did not get done well here. The good looking cast members got wasted here.
You have a very pretty face. Hope you choose good scripts to help your career. I watched "I Love My President Though He's A Psycho" because I liked seeing your face even though the script was totally trash. Advance happy birthday! Be happy.
I agree with Keke.0104 comment. LOL. There is something about the two main leads that kept me watching despite how awful this drama is. I am embarrassed to admit but I loved it.
I really wanted to like this because I love the 2 main leads but.. to the screenwriter for future improvement, the development of the love story was slower than that of a snail, I had to drop it at ep 6, I can not endure the wait. The synopsis was promising but execution to maintain my attention span failed unfortunately. There are not enough exciting scenes to keep me hanging on.
Re watching this now with the whole family. Never gets old.
I do not like violence but this is an exception. I watched this accidentally (as I would never have watched this kind of film on my own) a long long time ago with my sons and got hooked. Plenty of very funny scenes and dialogues (the LOL kind), very short scenes but very intense romance ( the memory of those cute scenes still linger) . Some may find the initial violent scenes to be offensive as i did but I have seen this fim a million times ,i suggest you judge the film at the end.
Highly recommended film during this quarantine period.
Can't believe the low rating. Can't believe I've been missing out on this gem of a movie. It was not perfect but much better than most overrated movies/dramas out there. It was definitely a very enjoyable watch and also satisfying ending. The three leads are perfect for their roles. Highly recommended viewing.
Really no matter how many times I've watched it (8 times already) I never get bored because of the chemistry!…
@alicealanbari, thanks much for the help. Having a grand time watching right now. Im at that episode where ML got stabbed. Instead of going to hospital, they are lying in the pavement, fanning ML from the mosquitoes while looking lovey dovey in the eyes. Hahaha. Hilarious lakorn.. :-)
Hello! I am a fan. I have re watched Ngao Asoke many times and it is one of my all time favorite lakorns. You were so good in that lakorn. I am sad to know that you only have few dramas.
Accidentally watched this as I browsed thru Netflix and got hooked (as i would normally pass up on these kinds of movies). Just watch the first episode and I swear it will draw you in.
Amazing drama.
Has a similar vibe to Chef Fang which I also love. Like comfort food on a cold rainy day...
Recommended light viewing.
