Had to drop. The age gap is too fucking weird and idk how anyone can sit through that. I thought goblin guy would actually leave korea and there would be a time skip and he would come back to eun tak being older but that didn’t happen. And it doesn’t help that eun tak always has that weird baby voice (and ik that shit is fake cause I’ve seen her actress in other dramas where she doesn’t sound like that which makes everything 10x more unsettling) and the height difference was definitely intentionally done by the casting directors…ew. Oh and she also acts really immature and childish for an 18 y/o. Like that scene where they go to Quebec was like watching a reserved father and his day out with his hyperactive daughter but romanticized. Just so insanely weird. Grim reaper guy though was the best part. I would continue watching and skipping just for his parts but I’m too lazy. Fingers crossed that there’s a sunny x grim reaper cut somewhere.

I should have clarified that I didn’t sleep during it, I went to sleep after it and that only says something cause I have trouble sleeping. It was like visual and auditory melatonin.

This is now my favourite kdrama of all time

Makes me fall asleep but in the good way not the “*yawn* this is boring” way.

“I guess to be fair, water in Thailand is extremely dangerous and gives you a fever unless a seme dries your hair immediately.” I can’t stop laughing at this💀

Yep I agree cause that one looked traumatic and humiliating as hell.

That was the corniest, lamest bullying I done ever seen. Episode was way too short for the amount of time and plot it covered. The best part for me was the kiss. The ending was slightly cringey. It was cute but also just very tropey but I didn’t expect much different. Interested to see what the other pairings have in store

Samee the show is pretty funny and Seo Jun was my favourite character out of the main characters

I spontaneously decided to watch this and I can’t say I regret my decision. This drama was really fun to watch in the beginning but it just progressively got worse. I loved FL at first but as time went on I just could not stand her character. There was very little character development. Be prepared for 14 or 15 1hr10m plus episodes of FL constantly hiding and running away and being an overall spineless coward. She just lets people do shit to her while she stands and sits around quietly it’s so fucking frustrating. She only finally gets some guts and self confidence after everyone finds out what she actually looks like but for around 14 episodes she just hates herself with no gains in her self confidence whatsoever. Seo Jun’s sister is so much braver than her tbh. I thought their interactions would make Ju Kyoung finally realize her worth but she continues to be annoying and self hating. The way she constantly tried hiding her relationship also got pretty tiring. It’s even crazier that she forgave her mother so quick. Some might find her forgiving and overly nice attitude sweet but I just found it annoying throughout. Why was she that mad at the girl that Se Rim picks on for siding with the bullies (although she had no choice) but not her mother for years of verbal and mental abuse. Her mother was truly an unlikeable character. Making Soo Jin into a villain was so dumb and out of nowhere too. It was literally so out of character for her to do what she did that even everyone else was surprised. You’re telling me she did all of that over a MAN?!!?!!!?? The plot of this drama relies a lot on convenient unlikely coincidences and dumb misunderstandings. One thing I really liked about this drama though was it’s comedic elements. I don’t know if this drama was supposed to be a social critique of lookism or something but if it was, it didn’t do a great job of addressing it.

Side note: I can’t be the only one who saw parallels between this story and the real lived experience of queer people. Like try watching this and pretend that Ju Kyoung is gay or something instead of ugly, the story would still make sense. And honestly it would probably make more sense considering she really wasn’t ugly and I doubt its common for people to be bullied like she was simply for being ugly.

It doesn’t get much better.

Honestly I don’t remember lol. The effect feels like a fever dream id rather forget. All I remember was him playing that same quirky and cheeky friend character he often plays.

I wouldn’t put it past mnet to do that tbh lmao

That stupid voting app is always crashing😒

That’s it? Will there be a second season? Wtf??? I don’t exactly understand why people are complaining about how the actors don’t look like their anime counterparts. That really isn’t an important part of the story or an important visual aspect.

I ended up skipping most of the romance cause I wasn’t all that interested but they were cute. My favourite characters were eunuch jo and officer jang. I wish officer jang had more screen time😭

Was hoping to see yacht in a bl couple for the first time but this is also good. At least he’s finally getting a main role

Some of the most widely loved and critically acclaimed stories/books/plays/dramas/movies out there are tragedies. Think of a classic like Romeo and Juliet. Both Romeo and Juliet die at the end and yet it is still widely loved and praised. And what exactly do you mean by a “toxic” ending? I don’t understand the use of that adjective in this context. Some stories are not meant to have a happy ending. Especially when based in reality. And it’s not always about what you want either. For example in the case of Romeo and Juliet, ofc we as the audience would want and prefer for them to end up together alive and happy and ride of into the sunset. But their tragic ending is still as beautiful as it tells of their love for each other. Again, I think it has to do with why you’re watching what you’re watching. For example in the BL community ik a lot of people specifically look for only happy ending dramas because a lot of media involving gay couple or characters have historically not had happy endings.

A happy ending doesn’t mean it’s a good ending and a sad ending doesn’t mean it’s a bad ending. I don’t think they’re in the minority tbh. I only ever see this obsession with happy endings on MDL and kdrama circles. I guess it’s about whether you watch the drama for escapism or realism.

After Nam Jeon who is literally walking, breathing evil, the scum of the earth, a cockroach/rat/mosquito hybrid disguised as a man, and a greedy parasite, Seon Ho was my least favourite character. Those last 1/2 episodes where he finally gained a working brain cell weren’t enough to redeem him or for me to like him. Maybe I’m blinded by my dislike for him, but that bromance that everyone’s talking ab between him and Hwi… I didn’t see it. I loved the character of Bang Won. Not as a person but I loved the way they wrote him. I also loved the role the Kisaeng house played in all the politics. The ending was fitting.

Im so sorry! i forgot to click "spoiler" but yes it's not
