Does anyone ever feel that there are moments in an Asian drama where a hug or caress is required but doesn't happen?…
I totally agree. No physical affection between parents and kids. Then, for couples, especially when they start dating and have had their first kiss, they go on dates and then just wave good bye to each other. I often think, "A real couple would hug here", etc. However, that's one of the main reason I started watching Asian dramas, i like more being left to the imagination. I do, however, with all my heart, wish they would get rid of the open-eyed fish kisses!
My guess is that once Netflix bought the rights to remake it as a Korean drama, Viki had to remove it from their…
I'm hoping your guess is correct. I'd really like to be able to see this before the Korean remake (love the ML in the Korean version, ordinarily I don't think I'd watch because I understand it doesn't have a happy ending?
I'm confused abt the ending after that part in the snow. Can he already see? But I was thinking the priest on…
The CEO apparently paid for him to have surgery., his secretary called him Santa Claus during the wedding. The priest was signing for her. I thought he died in the snow, but apparently like they said in The Princess Bride “He was mostly dead.” Was he misdiagnosed? I’m glad he didn’t die, but I thought that was a given.
I think what you are saying is correct, along with all the typical tropes that seem to plague K-dramas. But, personally, it's sometimes a comfort thing for me. I can kind of turn off my brain and not have to think too hard. Everyone has differing opinions. A correct opinion for me may not be the correct opinion for someone else.
It's my favorite drama right now... it gets better with every episode and isn't anticlimactic or disappointing…
I admire those of you that can keep track of more than one show at a time. That's a gift that I don't have. I think I'll keep skulking here for the comments and watch this when it finishes airing.
Thank you so much. I don't like to be negative, but I feel like I need to justify the rating I give something. ESPECIALLY since I watch so many of these shows, they all melt together, and I need to go back and read my review to remember what I thought about it. There are plusses and minuses to my memory not being what it used to be...the mediocre shows I tend to put completely out of my mind, and the really good shows I can go back and re-watch, and it's almost like watching for the first time!
RANT COMING! Finished episode two before the platform asked for my credit card, so I think I will be moving on to something else because the first two episodes just irritated me. 1) There are no doctors at Doldam while all the doctors are on the ship or on an airplane coming home from a conference?! 2) Cha Jin Man say he has one condition for working at Doldam, remove Dr. Kim from the trauma center. Dr. Park had just made this speech about how good Dr. Kim is and he's the reason Dr. Park stayed. This is an obvious and nonsensical plot device for the season. In real life, Dr. Park would say to Dr. Cha "Don't let the door hit you on the way out". Also, I don't believe anyone would think it was a good idea to have father and daughter working together. 3) Don't even get me started on Dr. Jang Dong Hwa! How someone like him could even become a doctor is beyond me, but he would be fired so fast his head would be spinning. He just leaves in the middle of an emergency?!?! Again, another obvious plot device by the writers to show how Dr. Kim can improve/change people. If this ever comes to a streaming service that I have, I might try to finish it, but since I didn't love the first two, maybe this is where we part ways. RANT OVER.
