At first I thought this was a movie about a girl struggling with her codependent relationship and finding someone who was more appreciative of her. But... then it all went sideways. I wasn't disappointed how it turned out because if you watch enough japanese school dramas, you know what is going to happen before it happens. What bothered me was that we hardly see Rita's side of things, it's not only until the end that we really understand his reasons for pushing Hatori away. I wish they had focused on him a bit more rather than showering us with over the top facial expressions from Hatori. All things considered, clichés aside, it's still a cute movie :)
One thing I dislike about dramas, is when women that are good at their jobs/successful in their business, are also portrayed to be sly, cunning or other bad trait. As if being ambitious was some kind of bad thing, like they aren't deserving of love or a family. And even if a woman is good at their job, next to the male lead counterpart she is always portrayed as less intelligent or inferior, or even a little silly, as if a woman always needs to be dumbed-down, when next to a man.
Ok, give me another season. I'm so ready. Omg, I loved how the writer tied everything together. The ending was so brilliant. I can't wait for more. I need moooooore!
I'm disappointed about Sun Woo. I mean... why go through all that if nothing changed? Why have Lee Jae Han say…
It's not that I don't understand all that, I really do, I've thought about all the possibilities. Even so, I don't have to like it :P
My point is: If nothing can be changed, then don't make it feel like it could be, because it clearly couldn't, right from the beginning. The ripple effects would be too great to even imagine. Even if they had saved Sun Woo at the last minute, Kim Bum Joo and the others could still have gotten away. They sure are resourceful enough to pull it off. I'm sure Lee Jae Han would have kept investigating and we would have reached the same outcome. But by letting Sun Woo die all the same, then the writer is just falling into the self-fulfilling prophecy plot as I said. Everything has already happened. They changed nothing, they only think they do. All of this is happening to finally get justice, because the past can't really change. They may or may not save Lee Jae Han, but if they do save him, that honestly wouldn't make much sense given all that went on until now. But that's ok, paradoxes like this are what makes these types of dramas interesting. Whatever happens in the end I still think this drama is by far the best I've seen in years.
I'm disappointed about Sun Woo. I mean... why go through all that if nothing changed? Why have Lee Jae Han say on the radio that the past could be changed if a key person couldn't be saved at all. In the end nothing changed. Aside from some minor things, everything went along accordingly since the beginning. They didn't actually change a thing if you think about it, even though we're made to believe that they did. I'm hoping they can save detective Lee Jae Han, but up until now everything feels more like a self-fulfilling prophecy. In the end, the transmissions, are nothing but a way to find out what really happened, than to actually change anything -.-
Wow! I came here wondering if I should watch this drama or not, but now I'm really not sure I should xD I'm reading the reviews but they portray this drama as either really good or really bad, so the 7.9 rating doesn't really match the comments I'm reading. Is this that bad, or just silly?
Just finished watching episode 13. I cried the whole time. Tears just rolled down my face as I watched their expressions. I felt what they felt. Their sadness and helplessness keep touching me in ways I can't even explain. I don't cry watching dramas, but this one managed to deeply mess with my emotions.
I just finished rewatching this drama. I have to say, I liked it more this time around. I was able to appreciate and understand certain things better than the first time. I'm even going to change my rating to a 9. I'm not giving it a 10 because some things didn't sit well with me. There were many questions left unanswered, many pointless flashbacks that could have been used to wrap up the story with less confusion.
Omg, this show is superb :o I'm only on episode 8 but I already want to give it a 10 XD
I'm currently on episode 12. Omg what a ride. I haven't been this crazy about a drama in a very long time. I am kind of expecting a sad ending or a bittersweet one, but it doesn't matter. This drama messes with my emotions >.<
By the God of Dramas, I see myself in every single point you make >.< Especially 1 and 3. When I watch a really good drama it is hard for me to fall out of love. If the drama managed to touch me in all the right spots, I will dwell on it for weeks if not months and can't move on. Sometimes I even stop watching new dramas altogether. I also find myself changing countries often. I used to binge watch dramas from a certain country for months in a row until nothing could grab my interest. That's when I changed to another country and all was right again. Now I believe I have found a good balance and switch countries every 3 dramas or so.
