Its my 6th time watching this and I cry my eyes out everytime. Why do I make myself cry on purpose? Because this is THAT good!!!! I really rate just a couple of series 10/10 and this one is like 20/10. I cant tell how much I love this. I feel like its crime not making a season 2, I cant believe they dont make it. One of the best scenarios, storytelling and cast ever! Please someone make a miracle and make season 2 after all those years, please please...
Hi, um a genuine question, how do you mean you dont think tutoryim are particularly talented? They delivered their…
Well Im being subjective here, but I dont think have the best mimics, voice control or body language. My best examples from the bl world would be Earth Mix, Zee Nunew, Daou Offroad, First Khao, most of the Taiwanese actors and many more that I cant remember or count right now. Im not an acting coach, these are my personal opinions. They just dont transfer emotions good enough. They are kinda dull.
There are amazing kissing/NC scenes in this series. Like omfg!!! They might be one of the best out there, both artistic and sexy. Its literally a festival after some point lol. But unfortunatelly, greatest NCs are not enough to make a series good. I think this was very very boring... 1) Tutor and Yim are super duper cute together and they have amazing on screen chemistry. But I dont think they are particularly talented actors and that had a very negative effect on here. 2) There were a lot of characters which made it extremely complicated to watch 3) There were many unnecessary imaginary scenes which also made it very complicated to watch 4) There were a lot of low quality voice overs and BGM were very very bad. 5) Nothing really happened through the episodes. Seriously this could've been easily a 3 episodes mini series. Nothing happened for real. These and many other reasons that I dont remember right now made this series uninteresting. Im usually a binger but this one took me a loooong time. Im sorry I really wanted to enjoy...
Watch Unintentional Love Story. The chase continues.
True his character was more healthy in ULS. But at the end of this one it felt like their relationship actually leveled up and they become more intimate. In ULS it was like they were in the beginning all over again. It didnt feel like it was the sequal of this. I enjoyed the closeness here, they were very distant for me in ULS. Thats why I like their private relationship here much more
I love love love Zhao Lu Si. Everything she makes turns out to be a great series, which is why I started this. I watched 1/3 of it now and I wanted to write my first thoughts: Sang Zhi annoyed the heck out of me. I hated how irresponsible, whiny, spoiled and unappreciative to her brother she is. Also I cant imagine a world where Jia Xu sees Sang Zhi as a woman, she must stay as his little sister forever. But ofcourse many things will happen and my thoughts might change. We'll see... I will update here when Im done.
Update now that I Finished it: Ok my bad, I spoke too fast. I didnt consider this series was 25 episodes. My opinion completely changed, they actually had a very healthy and stable love. You know what happened? Time happened. Time actually slowly changed their relationship and it wasnt awkward at all. They showed that change in the most slow and undertsandable way possible. It was almost too slow for me for a minute lol.But to transfer that feelings, those emotions to audience, it was okay to take things that slow I suppose. I enjoyed it very much. I just wanted to see a bit of more details about her brother. Her brother was my actual crush here lol. He always mentioned somethings about his personal life but we didnt get to see. I want more of him. Also it is my first time watching Chen Zhe Yuan. Omg what a cutie he is. He has the most adorable gaze and smile in the world. I already told I love Zhao Lu Si. They were great together. But I must say this has better rate than Dating in the Kitchen but I think DITK is THE BEST series of Lu Si. You should give it a try.
This series started with a very positive energy; good story with all those fun supernatural elements and this gave me high hopes. But in a couple of episodes I just understood that it was false hopes. Acting was mediocre, scenario was poorly written for such a good storyline. All that exciting supernatural stuff blew off and at some point nothing happened one episode over another, literally nothing happened. I really thought his dreams would lead us somewhere important but nothing exciting happened. Love story could've been much better as well. Childhood friend/Pi turning to lover is a very fun theme but somehow they made it look boring too. Short for long, they wasted a fun story, didnt like it.
Initial thoughts were good story but bad scenario, bad acting, no chemistry between leads... It was kind of boring and not fun for a loooong time. But then something magical happened and energy changed completely around ep 8 and last 4-5 episodes were super fun. Almost actors got more talented suddenly as if they stopped filming on ep 7, took some acting classes and kept going on lol. I was positively surprised and enjoyed the rest of it.
One big problem for me was, how they made mbti types look super important personal traits. As much as it might be accurate, its just a test that a lady and her mom created and nothing more meaningful than a horoscope sign. They made being an introvert or extrovert as a vital matter. Well, at the end they had this all speech about how those things dont matter but that felt silly because that was not a big problem for us anyways, you made it a big issue and then tried to teach us that it is not important if we are an introvert or an extrovert. Like? We already knew that... You didnt! As a heavy introvert, I never care or observe if people I meet are introverts or not. Ok this whole paragraph might sound a bit weird but I had my frustration and I had to get it out, sorry lol
PS. I felt super sad for MR. Shy. Dude didnt have any space for 2 steps!!!! Buy him a big aquarium Diew!!!!
Ok guys you need to help me. Im on ep 1 and Im so freaking sure that there was a VERY famous old bl that was EXACTLY like this one. Dorm neighbours, talking from balcony, didnt see eachothers face, gives some stuff (present,food) from the balcony or door... I cant remember details clearly but I know I watched a very famous bl like this one before. Im sure plot will be completely different on following episodes but Im talking about ep1. You know sometimes you remember a melody but you cant remember the song or the singer and you get crazy thinking about it? Im exactly like that right now! I checked the recommendations section and thats not helpful. If someone remembers please help me!!!!
Well, there are plans to make a season 2 and if it's made, you'll get 12 new episodes 😉It's not certain yet,…
Ahhh if they gave us like a extra 1-2 episode, waiting wouldnt be this torturing.. Even when everything is ready to film, (cast, crew, scenario, budget etc.) it takes usually 1 year to completely film and prepare a series, I cant think how long it will take now... Btw do you know where I can read the novel online?
Scenario was super cliche, but I love cliches. It was very good watching Pit Babe cast in different characters. They were all amazing and they prooved how talented they are (Sailub especially is very talented and well, very sexy) NC scenes were over the top, extremely good!!! Like wow effect. BUT Something was missing and that made me not enjoy this series as much as I wanted to. Because I was super excited before for this production. Unfortunatelly I cant point out what was the missing element but at the end there is a disappointment for me...

Ok plans are not enough for me, I need proof. I never trust plans of production team or directors lol Also who leaves a story on there? Like seriously it was not the time to end the series, there wasnt any closure. Im really curious what the scenarist thought?? What kind of a mind write an amazing story but leave it on middle and doesnt write an ending? That wasnt even an open ending, that was like last scene of a mid episode, waiting for the next week. Anyways, I will sign and seal any petition or send them hand written letters if necessary for a season 2 lol. If they are 'thinking' it will probably come in like 2 years... I needed to watch it now, right after season 1 when I still have the after taste but still, any season any time will be amazing.
Ok whats happening??? What was that final episode to an amazing series like that??? When all 12 episodes finished, it felt like its been only 5-6 episodes. It was that good, it was that absorbing. I need another season or 5-6 more episodes at leat. Seriously what the hell???
They were my favorite couple in No Gain No Love so the moment I finished it I ran here. I expected someting more exciting and spicy from this couple, not talking about NC scenes but like a juicy love story. Unfortunatelly it slightly disappointed me. I still think Lee Sang Yi is a super sexy man tho, I would watch this for him all over again lol.
No Gain No Love had a really good scenario and cast. It included very different characters, orphans, fosters, a quad (which might be first in the Kdrama history). I really liked this diversity. It was very enjoyable to watch it, never got bored. Shin Min Ah is one of my favorite Korean actresses ever and she is good in every character she portrays. I think Kim Young Dae is a good actor too but this could be one of his weakest performances ever. It must be impossible to not create a fiery chemistry with Shin Min Ah but somehow Young Dae looked dead beside her. I didnt like them together. I always thought Shin Min Ah would make an amazing couple with anybody but apparently not Kim Young Dae. Second couple was wayyyyyy better!!! Lee Sang Yi's character was my favorite in the series. Actually I just realized that they have a spinoff so Im gonna watch it right now!
Im a sucker for romance so I wish there were some more lovey dovey scenes especially at the final episode. I mean, they easily look like two brothers or best friends in most scenes lol. But completely my own opinion, I just love watching some realistic love scenes. Other than that, this was a very good series, loved every second of it.
Definitely.Although heartbreaking, I enjoy the realism similar to Your Name Engraved Herein.
Wow true! That was also amazing. Tho I must say this one hit harder. Maybe because this is a series and we had more time to connect with the characters.
I dont know what to say about this one... Would it be too much if I say this was one of the best bls of all time? Such a heavy story but such a great, light way to tell that story. I lost mysef in the reality of the story and the characters. It felt like Go Yeong is really my friend. I laughed and cried with him, I got mad with him I got mad at him. He was not flawless he was not perfect and he was so real. I enjoyed watching this emotional life story so so much...
It breaks my heart reading news about public reaction to Love in the Big City in Korea. They never understand do they? Im sure a very similar or even bigger of a reaction my country would give. It feels sad, so sad...
