i’ve only watched episode 1 out of curiosity but i found it striking that they changed the FL’s personality quite a bit. gye sujeong just seems cold and antisocial while michiko was originally arrogant and carefree. michiko wore skirts and high heels not befitting her profession and loved clubbing. and her iconic “ i never fail.” i wonder why they changed her character despite keeping everything else faithful

the drama grew on me as i watched. i like how the doctors who were initially doubting her like dr kaji and the doctor with glasses became michiko’s allies in the end

thanks!

just want to know before i start to temper my expectations: is it a happy ending? who ends up with who? i’m not familiar with the source material

at first i felt iffy at the possibility of sakiko and itsuki ending up together but now that the lame ass husband came back, i’m really hoping they do end up together.

also, he’s no right to imply they’re cheating with each other when he first broke his marriage vow by literally leaving her!?

i think the dubbing is a fine choice. this is a drama produced for the japanese audience, it doesn’t make sense to force them to read subtitles because they can’t understand a drama made for them. it’s also not realistic to have these temporary tourist (characters) speak fluent japanese. the dubbing makes it sound fake on purpose

first ep impressions: plot is interesting but this drama seems overproduced that it’s distracting me. like the bgm is too frequent and dramatic, the (japanese) actors speak so smoothly it feels like they’re dubbed over, and the lighting…
…also who’s manning the gate when the entire team is investigating one pair of visitors? lol

it’s a fun drama, would have loved more eps :( not fond of kube’s character though, especially his line from ep 1, “yeah her tits are big, i felt them on my back” wtf was that? so icky

tangential topic, but can someone recommend me another romcom that’s cute and lighthearted? i’m new to bls, don’t want anything heavy or serious, (i prefer non-school stories), thank u in advance :)

i was expecting a great deal bc the manga is famous but it’s a pretty typical crime jdrama where the quirky genius mc solves the whole story with like 2 clues. won’t complain tho, cuz i do like OP mcs.

unpopular opinion but i really didn’t like heroine (i really am not a fan of “incompetent but I try very hard” heroines) so that unfortunately lowered my enjoyment. could not care less about her little tsundere interest towards mc either. no offence if u like her, it’s just personal taste

i've been trying to watch this like forever but I just cant open the .ass file TT I downloaded like several video players including aegisub... is there something i'm missing???

one english title of a kdrama i didn’t like is true beauty! it’s originally called 여신강림 and this is rather difficult to translate into english concisely which is probably why they made the english version a completely different meaning.

여: female/woman 신: goddess/god 강림: arrival/descend/befall
so essentially the title means arrival of a goddess

it kinda rubs me the wrong way that the english title is completely different because it gives off a completely different interpretation of the story to non-korean speakers. the main focus has always been the (pretty) FL and not actually about inner beauty like what one would think

it’s a drama and just refer to the cast list for ml and fl (also they are literally in the poster lol)

off topic but who’s in ur profile pic?

not defending anyone i have not even seen this show but this comment is funny…how does that make any sense? of course fans will defend their idol, what else do u think fans are for? lmaoo

yeah i know, i don’t have high expectations but i’m just hoping. sigh, it’s really quite ridiculous

as someone who is picky af and wholeheartedly in love with the novel, i have to say zlh is the perfect cast for hc and i really really hope to see him in this role T.T

im waiting patiently!! (but also hurry up pls i cant)

my main point is about her not-so-genuine friendship with youngro. she has always been taking advantage of her, the relationship btw them was never balanced as a proper friendship should be. since u didn’t actually refute my points, i’m assuming u see this too. (and how could youngro’s so called “betrayal” be on the same level as what boon-ok was about to do? she could really have gotten her jailed, tortured etc. )

i’m not stopping anyone from sympathising with her, i’m sure she has potential to be better. anyway, it’s not like i’m forcing u to change ur opinions, just giving my 2 cents on their friendship. cheers xx

while i do agree she's an interestingly complex character, i beg to differ about the point about her being friends with youngro. i don't believe she was truly a friend towards her, boon-ok simply took advantage of youngro's kindness. from the beginning, she's been using the classic tactic of 'if u really like me, u should do this for me' (sounds like an unhealthy relationship to me). she keeps so many secrets from her/hides her true self even though she demands that youngro hides absolutely nothing from her. she acted as though she was the victim when sooho went on a date with youngro, even guilt tripping her because she knows youngro would not retaliate, even though it wasn't the latter's fault.

also, she was never truly interested in sooho, she only had her eyes on his status and education, and where he could bring her.

and when youngro was no longer useful to her, she switched sides *at the drop of a hat* and tried to sell her off to the authorities or at least the dorm headmaster. not to mention she showed no remorse in having the old man get fired even though he was also in a state of poverty and trying to make ends meet
