So I was watching this when DramaFever exploded (RIP) so I picked it up again now. I am rewatching the first 8…
I hate her in everything i've seen her in. Her voice is awful, she looks terrible with short hair, and there's something about her face like I can imagine exactly what she will look like when she's 70 years old, and I can't unsee it.
This rom-com is pretty low on the "rom". The last several episodes are really draggy. But IMO, It's worth watching through at least episode 4, because episode 4 has some incredibly funny scenes in it. The kisses are decent, but there's only 2 or 3 of them. And weirdly, while the kisses are good, I don't pick up any chemistry between the leads at all.
The OST goes so hard. Really funny and nostalgic little drama. It's worth it alone to see these actors when they…
I wish they still made at least SOME k-dramas like this. I like the feel of the older ones better in a lot of respects... and their sense of style back then was AWESOME. K-dramas still have really good fashion sense, don't get me wrong, but I love the look they were doing back in these days, so sek-shi!!!
I gave it a 7 because it's awesome in so many ways and loaded with angsty tension... and there were only 2 kiss scenes, both of which were cut way way way too short. That just didn't match up at all. I could easily have given this a 9 if there was actual kiss scenes, and the last 2 episodes weren't completely messed up and copped out on.
Pros - LSG and LDW are super hot, and some good laughs, that set of couples coffee mugs had me just dying. FL not annoying most of the time. OST is fire. Cons - I haaaaaaaaate this FL so much I skip her scenes in EVERY drama she's in. Last few episodes feel like they were not even written by the same writing team.
I thought the whole point of the story is that you can't tell which one of them is worse, they both started off lying to eachother. All he lied about was that he left his ex for the FL. It drove his ex to attempt suicide, and he was taking care of her ever since. That's all he didn't say to her. But in bed when she asks him if he'd ever lied to her, he did admit to her that yes, he'd lied to her, and he was trying to find a good way to fix his mistake.
All the things he did after that, as stupid as they were, he says himself in the end, he did because he was freaking out that he might lose her. That makes all his actions childish and somewhat abusive, but not sheer psycho.
Whereas SHE lied lied lied lied lied all the damn time to him, then she wrecked his entire career it took him 20 years to build.
Who's worse there, y'know? I was thinking the ENTIRE time, that if she didn't feel some strange urge to compulsively lie all the time, they'd never have been in that whole mess in the first place.
Did I miss something?
I get that the recording was creepy, but I think that's to set up the audience early on to anticipate that the way the story's going that he's a true psycho, when really he's just an idiot man. With a different musical score, the whole thing would seem a little bit different.
I think the movie is trying to ask it's audience.... did she drive him into certain actions by bringing out the worst in him? Or was he really the effed up one? And for the audience to kind of discuss that and mull it over, with no real answer.
Granted... it would have helped to have had subtitles for the written stuff in the movie like the flash drive, the diary, the text messages. So I'm not sure, but that was just the impression it left on me once I finished, was that the whole situation was very much also her fault. Like at the end when she dares him to be his honest self. He gets totally honest, and then talks about her lying as well, and she puts her hands to her ears and goes all "shattered" and crazylike. She can't even be honest with herself, but she's asking him to be. It's so messed up. I was just thinking about how she was just as messed up as he was really.
couldn't even finish the first episode... the cutting and camera work made me cringe... 😬
God, the camera work.... "Hey, let's backlight this scene.... hey let's backlight this scene too.... this scene was perfect but can we re-shoot it with a glaring backlight?"
Or how EVERYBODY needs proof of everything before they can level an accusation, but when Lil' Cuz strolls in with…
Or the FL's dad just letting everyone think he's a child-killer / family murderer for several episodes before he comes back all like "yeah, I didn't do that, actually tho."
I'm on episode 10 and I have to say the warehouse scene makes no sense! She would have needed to be read into…
Or how EVERYBODY needs proof of everything before they can level an accusation, but when Lil' Cuz strolls in with a 4 second recording that alludes vaguely to the ML not being the heir to the company, that's apparently good enough for him to take over everything without the board needing so much as a DNA test.
