logiquement

Is the rating serious? That was such a bad movie, I can't believe my girl KGE agreed to be in something so bad.

They're bad too

That's the thing, we show him old but Toranaga said he didn't think the Anjin would ever leave Japan. I think Toranaga was right and old Anjin is a dream.

I don't mind the ending mainly because I don't mind stories where you zoom on someone's life to only show a bit of it instead of the whole thing. The show started at the point in Toranaga's life where the regents decided to unify against him and the story really is about weither he'll live or die. I got my answer. I never saw the Anji as the main character, so I never minded him not being on screen most of the time, he was just someone who so happend to have been captured. He thought he could be helpful to Toranaga, we thought so too, but Toranaga never said so (unless I remember wrong). It was like a slice of life, I did expect more but I'm fine with where we stopped. Lady Oshiba switched side, end of the story. We live and we die.
I don't think the Anjin left Japan, at least not in the show.
Mariko was everywhere throughout the episode, her name didn't need to be spoken but she was there at every turn, I loved it. Glad that this ends right after Yabushige's death, I really liked his character, he always cracked me up, even in the way he begged to die lol.
I might read the book now.

well that's cringe..

Perhaps. Or maybe the writers might have just wanted to have the cute FL and the cute ML being cutely in love with each other and it's just that and we're complicating something that's just meant to be a cute romcom haha

Those are good points but they erased the 30yo too much that it feels like she is a different person when she is with him, as in a whole other human being. There's a clear break when he's here and when he's not. It's probably a me a problem haha, but yeah it does bother me a bit.

Good point, I guess we'll see, if it gets too much out of hand I'll drop it. Not a fan of romcom anyway but I like this actress.

sorry, I'm an AI, I don't understand humans

Honestly the whole not remembering thing is confusing. How do you have a whole life you don't remember.... that you then remember later on ? Futur IS will remember everything that past IS doesn't, that doesn't make sense. I don't even know how they'll built their RS in the future unless IS stays in the past.

Because they love to add pseudo thriller-mystery to romance shows that can't sustain 16 episodes on it's own, because the story is too basic. They looove to do that.

I'm not gonna lie, writing episodes around miscommunication in big 2024 is embarassing. It's like the easiest plot drive possible, be better, it's just ridiculous, I agree with QD28.

Why does Im Sol act like a 30yo with Tae Sung but like a dumb teenager with Seon Jae. Don't tell me about "he's her idol", they've known each other long enough now that it's no longer an excuse. Especially since she's been treating him like a friend, even if she has a crush on him.The goldfish eyes and round mouth like ?? It's like two different persons. I'd like to see her be a 30yo back in her teenage years even with her crush. Maybe it's to not show a noona RS? There is no reason for SJ to not be an immature 19yo after all, why would a 30yo fall for a 19yo ? Idk. Men do it all the time you might say lol. But men are trash.

Also please, getting out of the house the day of your accident to get him an umbrella ? Risking your legs so that he doesn't get wet ? Come on.

The time traveling will get even messier, wonder how they'll explain everything. Will she remember a new life in the future, the one that she has lead as a walking person, on top of her first life?

Agreed ! The binge watching definitely adds to my opinion. Those who watched it week by week also probably talked a lot about the "little things" they saw that could feed into their narrative so after so many weeks they see things differently than us.
Which is fine, but it's true that people don't seem to accept different opinions on MDL. Everyone who criticize something is always a hater to their eyes.

You're factually right, but I didn't see Qian as just taking care of another orphan, that's where my problems lies unfortunately... It might come from the fact that the actor was the same both in teenage and adult life whereas the actor for the younger brother changer ? idk

I thought I was crazy lmao our opinion seems very unpopular

Sure grown together, not one raising the other... I dk, it's all about opinions at the end of the day, but I don't think they conveyed Qian's changing love for his brother well enough imo, it almost feels like he gave in in the end because he wanted to make his brother happy, especially after that whole talk about death and regrets (the napkin thing). It really is a writing problem for me more than the whole "incest" thing

Yeah, he was not as pro-active as he should have been to sell the whole thing. It was awkward, it almost felt like he did it to make his brother happy. That would take it too far, and I know that's not the case but the whole talk about death and regrets just before kind of felt like that's what it was.

Perspectives I guess. When we grow, some siblings are less tactile as they use to be, I saw it that way. Like, we're grown, stop. I really couldn't see it any other way but I guess it can be seem the way you explained it. I didn't read the summary so I wonder if knowing/not knowing who the couple would be influences how we interpret things.

It definitely was from the younger brother's POV because the writing team wanted to make it clear that his feelings had change. It wasn't clear at all from Qian's POV, at least not to me.

San Pang did not care for Lili the way Qian did for his brother, you're playing dumb on purpose here. It doesn't matter that he didn't adopt him, he cared for him like he did his biological sister, if they wanted to show them not being real brothers, they shouldn't have shown them as such a tight family like that. They chose to do that, to show us fraternal love, and that's fine you know. Some people can then get behind the growing of their RS, some can't. I can't.
