Do I have to watch the 1st season before this one? I noticed the female lead from that one isn't in this one,…
If you want to see the main characters current relationship/dynamic, then you should. But to understand the story of this prequel, I don't think it's necessary.
The story definitely feels rushed but I have decided to accept it and just enjoy the main leads' dynamic. It might not be the best show I've seen but at least it's entertaining.
I haven’t gotten around to watching the original Cherry Magic yet, so I’m confused why people don’t like…
I guess it's because a lot of people (including me) love the original series and the original actors and we are scared that this version won't be as good. Also, imo the type of comedy used in the original drama is one of Japan's specialties and the plot is something only Japan can do. GMM is gonna have a really hard time trying to imitate the essence of the original version.
Prince Gyeseong has my heart. It's nice seeing characters with genderqueer identities being represented in dramas, especially historical dramas. The end of episode 3 made me cry.
It's time for a rewatch~
