So far at ep 8. The chemistry between the leads is weak, on and off. Yeo Been seems to be more comfortable with…
That's such a shame. In the original we all loved MJJ and wanted him to be happy, but there was no real competition. Everyone could feel how deep LZW and HYX's connection was.
As someone who did watched the original, I really tried watching ATCY with no biases. But it is hard to do so…
I wish this comment could be pinned to the top. You explained it so well. The comments replying talking about how they changed Chen Yunru are also spot on.
for all the immature fans of the original giving a low rating on purpose, this won't stop this drama from being…
You gave the original a 1 and this a 10, but you are so very mature. Being "the most famous version" doesn't make it better. And it will only be more famous in the west, the original is massive in Asia. Typical egotistical westerner thinking the world revolves around them.
So fl married 2ml as she doesn't have option. She never has romantic feelings for him. Also they should have written…
I very much so disagree. After the ML treated her poorly at that bar place and she got drunk the ML said he thought she'd forget it all the next day. She was the one who made the choice to break up. She had had enough and didn't know the ML well enough anymore. After the large time skip you could see that she treated the SML differently. This was evident when her little sister was asking for advice on how to turn down Sun Sun. The FL told her the best thing to do was be straightforward and turn him down. The FL herself never did this with the SML even after getting his letters years before. The FL was super straightforward with Zeng Hang on the other hand though and told him outright that he should move on. This shows that she always treated YDD dfferently. She always cared for him as a friend and after she completely moved on from OXJ she was able to develop romantic feelings for him. The show was very subtle showing this and there simply wasn't enough time either which was super unfortunate.
Can't believe I almost didn't watch this. Very underrated. It's very slice of life with a sweet little neighborhood but diverts expectations in many ways as well. 8/10
I liked this drama a lot. Usually I'm a Ren Jialun hater but he fit the role here. The biggest downfall of this drama is the dubbing. The ML's dubber in particular. I've heard him a billion times, I can't take hearing him anymore. But honestly all of the dubbers weren't good. I been watching C-dramas for years, so I'm very familiar with dubbing, but I still fucking hate it. They take me out of the drama. The voices sound so fake and unattached. I wish we had the actual actors' voices, because their facial expressions were great.
The drama overall though was good. Despite there not being any in your face romantic scenes, I think this pairing had the most chemistry I've seen out of all of Bai Lu and RJL's dramas.
The OST goes so hard. Really funny and nostalgic little drama. It's worth it alone to see these actors when they were so young and the clothes and everything from this time period.
This definitely sounds like A Time Called You, or is it just me? The difference here is she travelled to the future.
No. Sounds more like Rooftop Prince. A Time Called You is a remake of the Taiwanese drama Someday or One Day. The only similarity is the death of a loved one and the time traveling. The details are very different.
Interesting. I wonder if i should watch the original before this.
Yes, definitely. The first episode is very different than the rest of the drama but exists to set everything up. I've seen a lot of people put off by the first episode, but it gets a lot better
All of the Korean remakes of Chinese and Taiwanese dramas I've seen have been shit (A Love So Beautiful, In Time With You, etc.) so I really already don't have high hopes for this. BUT what really makes me not have faith is the music. The music was so important in the original. Wu Bai's Last Dance, Mayday's Embrace, and multiple of Shi Shi's songs were crucial to setting the tone and emotion of the original, I don't see how they're going to do it here.
It makes me so sad that this is going to be people's first introduction to this story. The Taiwanese version is a rare special drama that doesn't come around very often. I urge anyone who hasn't seen it and is contemplating whether to watch the Korean or the Taiwanese first, go for the original. You're doing yourself a service.
