Okay, I never say this about any drama but this was just so trashy, like there's absolutely nothing good to gain by watching this from beginning to end. I recommend you stay away.
ROTFLLL!!! Hahahaha, Omygosh, I can't, the end of ep 26 was SOOO FUNNNY!! This drama is possibly the best drama I've watched so far, I'm really wishing for Season 2 and more.
Well, I can't say I was surprised. When casting a well known actor for what seems like a small support role in a mystery/ thriller genre, it tends to give things away too quickly. Also, my personal thought is never trust someone too nice XD
Also, I don't think there was ever a time watching a c drama before this, when I thought, man, aren't they having too much s*x for a cdrama? (not explicitly, but of course implied since they're taking their clothes off much of the time) I suppose it's become so mainstream it doesn't get censored anymore there ? XD
I dropped this before picking it up again, solely because I can't stand how gullible the FL is. Most of the problems in the drama is caused by her dumb decisions from her gullibility and misunderstanding. It's like she has no trust whatsoever of the ML. Since there were still a couple more eps I decided to give it another chance, however after the last ep, I think she's about to do it again.
You gotta give it to ML for not giving up chasing FL after FL gives up for about 3/4 of the whole drama, if it were me I'd be too prideful to keep at it XD. But, this gives it a great hook to keep the audience around because they're not together yet. Anyways, I took a break from watching this @ ep 20. When I came back I was oddly indifferent of the 1st Leads, and got really into the budding romance between the 2nd leads, which I was sure was there from the beginning but they just didn't elaborate on this till nearing the end. LOL
I just realized why it felt so odd watching the first 3 episodes. It was because all the parents seemed old enough to play grandparents and the children young enough to be grandchildren, though they're supposed to be parent-child XD. I guess inevitable if the story of the leads spans from childhood to adulthood all the while keeping the seasoned actors old enough for the remaining adulthood story.
Sure, but I may not make it sound as great as when you watch it on your own tho :D Imo unlike the mainstream student-teacher dramas I've watched before, it wraps up all the emotions nicely and doesn't leave either characters or viewer with shall i say "emotional mess"? The emotions were dealt with in a mature way. So both leads were able to stay true to their emotions and be honest with each other, while both accepting each of their status and chose to behave in a proper student-teacher way. The phrase "sensei sayonara" was used a few times by the leads here. They went on with school life until FL's graduation, and that gave the ML time to work out his grief and attachment to his deceased wife. At the end they meet again by chance and come together with smiles. I know this may sound like the usual open ending, and I actually hate open endings, but I'm happy to see the nice progression and how they handled the ending, because in my mind it seemed a very satisfying end- they're not student-teacher anymore and free to love.
I did think this was rather oddly titled at first, if it were to be the usual student-teacher romance. Turns out, contrary to what you might think the title is an accurate description of the whole drama. The ending was therefore rather surprising, and I think the best ending for this type of story. I actually really like the ending, compared to a lot of other dramas these days that seem to either not care and just wanted to finish the drama off, or introduce illogical moves right before the end. All in all nice watch.
Weekend 50-episode dramas have high viewership. So, you'll find popular actors in them. Also, it's much easier…
👍🏻 TFTI. I wasn't aware there's a difference between weekend & daily dramas b4, since i don't watch them. I just see long i assume it's the same as the dailys. 😁
I'm giving this one a chance, though I don't ever watch family dramas mainly bc they're too long and less "nice" in terms of picture quality than the normal dramas.
Which is why I'm puzzled with this one because it's full of familiar faces of supporting actors that normally appear on the normal 16 ep dramas. So there's not much to question in terms of acting. But it makes me wonder if there's a family drama quota to be filled or smth, and the budget is higher, or whether there's just a surplus of actors these days that family dramas are the only available option. 🤔 Hm.
