I don't want to blow anyone's bubble but the confession scene on EP 7 was filmed one actor at time, they were…
i think they just re-used footage from the first run before the re-cast mu yeong. otherwise, that would be a pretty amateur mistake, directive-wise (to not plan that one actor is taller than the other and he needs to look UP not down when speaking)
Ep 7 felt a littl off...as in the editing. At first I thought maybe they used the scene they filmed with the other…
a lot of people on reddit were saying they tried to re-shoot as little as possible so your original idea of keeping footage from the first run sounds absolutely plausible (especially since the more they re-shoot, the more expensive it would be).
i think if they had conflicting schedules, they would have at least planned to direct in a way that he's talking to someone taller than him. making the actor look downward just screams amateur directing mistake...
Gosh! What have they done to this drama? It started out as so sexy, funny and quirky! Since EP 6, it's just a…
I have a feeling they used the old footage from the first time they shot the drama and then only filmed the Mu Yeong scene with the new actor... it looks like Seon Ho was looking at someone shorter than him...
the way Seon Ho looked like he was talking to someone shorter in the confession scene absolutely threw me off :D - not sure if it's bad camera angles or they simply didn't re-shoot the scene and he was looking at the prev. actor, but damn - what a bad scene, direction-wise! the acting was also pretty bad (from Seung Hyun)... not sure what happened this ep, but that wasn't it.
a few random, disconnected notes on this: - i adore the plot, what an unexpectedly great series! love the fantastical element. - if someone as fine as yu dam asks me to date, i'd immediately agree, no questions asked. - why was the dennis concert in such a TINY ass venue? i was expecting a popular idol for korean standards to have a much larger venue booked.
hmmm idk what to think about the finale. everything was resolved rather quickly and i can't say i loved the screen time they spared on the newly-introduced couple. i wish they progressed the story of alex and RJ (we were all waiting!), but it is what it is.
my biggest beef with the show is the 'abusive dad' trope that they introduced in the second-to-last ep and lowkey swept under the rug in the finale. like what was the point? i wish they never introduced this. i wish the dad was just against it, rather than full-on abusive. i absolutely refuse to forgive him or accept this development. like oh, he beat the shit out of xun an? no prob as long as he accepts the boyfriend. wtf??
it was an overall good show - mature, great acting and not too predictable (they really avoided some of the more cliche tropes which i appreciated). however, some of the new story threads were a bit unnecessary and others were not handled well. maybe this just sets the scene for s2? hope so!
bruh a het wedding in the finale THE ENDING DANCE ALL THIS TIME WAS FOR THIS HET WEDDINGthey put the family pics…
it's very difficult to make a het wedding work as a finale to a BL show (although not an unpopular trope for some reason) and this one wasn't an exception - it was a bit out of place. considering they left us hanging with the already introduced side-couples that many fans loved, focusing on a newly-established het couple just wasn't it. i think we all wanted more screen time for alex and RJ instead.
not sure how to rate something that i know is objectively a masterpiece but caused me so much pain and frustration, as i relate to one of the characters on a personal level. idk, it feels like all the turmoil this drama caused me was not in a nice way, so i'll leave it unrated for now. i feel like what i'd rate it won't match what it should be rated.
How sad is it? Does it have a sad end?Please reply with a spoiler tag.
the last ep made me cry like a baby and i'm usually not a crier. i'd say it was a pretty tragic ending but the conclusion was filled with a lot of love and wrapped up nicely. i wish it had a happy ending.
i'm kind of annoyed they treated the driver who killed koichi so kindly... i know it was an accident but there is a reason why accidents that result in killing people are also punished. koichi was so young - these two could have had a lifetime together, it's so unfair. i didn't think the last ep will hit me so hard but boy, did i cry... every time i think that the outro is what they could have had, my heart breaks more and more. man, i'm really not meant for tragedy dramas, this one will haunt me for a long time.
Just finished the first episode and I did not like it at all. Boring, dragged on, the exposition was so unnatural…
i feel you - i dropped it at ep 3. i thought it was boring and way too insta-love-y for me. i didn't see what everyone saw in terms if chemistry or good acting if i need to be super honest. i really wish i enjoyed it.
i think if they had conflicting schedules, they would have at least planned to direct in a way that he's talking to someone taller than him. making the actor look downward just screams amateur directing mistake...
