I didn't have any expectation and didn't know this was a remake either. Started off iffy and uninspiring for me at the beginning that I had to struggle to start watching it a few times. Good thing it got a lot better as it progresses. This ended up being a unique heart-warming romance at the end. I'm glad I watched it! :)
I like how mysterious everything is, but 8 eps in I still have no clue what is going on 🤣 It's getting kind of off-putting tbh. I'm not feeling invested in any of characters either, i wonder why 😂. Anyway, I'll still see how it goes.
This show is just H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S! Can't tell you how unprepared I was that I spat out laughed like a mad person a few times already after the 2nd ep tonight XD
Was expecting this to be all serious from the get go, but no, first ep is kind of silly all over the place with even some disney princess vibes thrown in XD I even thought of snow white in the middle of it all, and the disconnect with my expectation kinda threw me off, haha.
Okay, I'm on the 8th ep. So far it's been great at pulling me in , in a very "real" way unlike many cdramas out there. It's very engaging, each character has depth in their own way, but weirdly so far I am rooting for no specific lead. Usually most dramas incite the viewers to be very invested in the main leads, but here I feel it's mainly just getting everyone interested in the drama as a whole. I don't know if it'll be different later, but as far as 8 eps go, that's how I feel.
So far so good! I find the mysteries so exhilarating. The many moments where Dong Joo gets bewilderingly frustrated by the numerous things that don't make sense that keep on coming at him are actually oddly very funny to me, tbh :D
