I totally enjoyed this drama but I was quite disappointed in Pi's evolution due to the underlying message. I'm…
I agree. I didn't see why she had to do a complete makeover, but at least they made it feel like she did it for herself more than for Baek Gyun. Maybe it was more of a something needs to change to be a catalyst for them to start but tbh honest she had more character with the curly hair and the deadpan expressions.
Who the hell was Madam X?I myself wanted to believe it was Han Cheol. I know he was a kid and all.. but I was…
Hahahah loved your comment. I can't believe they never revealed who Madam X was...I was so sure it was going to be the butler ajhussi too.... So curious!
"Oh my love! I'm all yours! And there will never be another one, because I'm eternally yours!" ~~~
Rewatching this for probably the 100th time but that song...it's the only thing I want to change but only because they play it too much. Still love everything about this drama. Rewatch value is 10+++++++++++
Okay at first I gave this a 10 but then i didn't really like the 2nd otp DJ n FJ since they took up half the time…
I felt pretty much the same as you. Although to me DJ and FJ were cute and all their story didn't make much sense. Also omg Susu totally didn't give two hoots about her son, even when she knows the he is her real son, he seems to be an after thought to her.... it was the least motherly written script I have ever seen. How could she be ok with wiping out the memory of her son? And then when YH dies she doesn't even take care of the kid, just mopes about. At least YH was a good father and his son was his main priority. I too dropped this from a 10 to an 8.5 after the initial 'zomg feels' left me.
The main couple is so boring.... The only thing deserves to be seen in this drama, is the hostess character. Smart…
I felt that too in the beginning but then in a way I think the message was the Woo Sung was pretty perfect the way he was. He may have not been the most handsome guy but he was protective/caring/understanding/charming in his own way. In a way he was the main lead that we are used to seeing on screen.
Did anyone else feel the older sister's storyline should have been part of another drama? It totally didn't fit in with anything in this drama and even with all the episodes they didn't do much with it or explain it.
Really adorable story with one of the better on screen female friendships I have seen. There's no jealousy or back stabbing or needless anger here...it's just a really cute friendship that manages to be realistic without all the unnecessary drama. I really liked that even though Jin Jin was the main character, in terms of their friendship all the girls were equally important.
The love lines are sweet/adorable too and each of them have their own little charm. Have always known Kim Ji Suk would be an excellent male lead and he was all that and more in this (my heart now are heart shaped when he's on screen).
It is a little slow and there are episodes where nothing at all is happening and that makes the drama slightly boring. I think it suffered from having too many episodes with too little story. But overall its a cute romcom that's good to watch if you are craving some fluff.
Agreed with everything you said. They should have spent more than 3 episodes on the first timeline, esp considering…
Yeah but I feel like that's a Cdrama thing. So many side characters and so many filler scenes. I don't think I have ever watched one without skipping scenes. I too watched this after Eternal Love and the lack of chemistry in this was too glaring to power through.
the only part i really like is the first 10 episode and its funny how just at episode 6 i realized that everything…
Agreed with everything you said. They should have spent more than 3 episodes on the first timeline, esp considering they had 56 episodes to play with and that no one understand why they are so in love that the whole country can go to hell....
It's such a shame because it really does have a good plot, but there are so much unnecessary scenes that are pointless you can't feel anything for anyone. Like all these pointless characters and side romances existed in Eternal Love as well but you could believe in the romance (aka the plot for that drama) to not only power on but love the drama despite its many flaws.
The drama is alright but the romance aspect is super lacking. I was looking for something similar to Eternal Love…
Having the same issue and thus have put the the drama on hold. There really is no chemistry between the actors and that's a shame cause the plot is good but since their love is what drives their decisions I can't find it believable enough to continue...
Putting this drama on hold at ep 40 because I can't seem to care anymore. As someone said below the first 10-15 episodes are amazing and really good. This drama has amazing cinematography esp in the fight scenes. They are so beautifully choreographed, they make your heart pound. But then after these initial episodes all that happens in this drama is a lot of talking ...and talking...and talking...and talking. I don't mind conversational scripts (in fact more often I enjoy them), but not when everything is being repeated to the next character in the next scene.
One thing that I do love about the drama and why I have held on for so long is the fact that the female lead is fantastic. She's no damsel in distress, she's powerful and she's the one making all the decisions. More often than not she's the one saving basically everyone. The male lead is in fact the supporting role who is always there to help ensure her plans are successful. She's everything anyone wants a real female lead to be.
However, I really feel zero chemistry between the leads >.<. And that's probably why this drama is on hold. They both are fine actors but in this drama there is no chemistry and at ep 40 I don't think there is going to be any. I really don't care whether they end up together or not, I'm just curious about what will happen in terms of the timeline/travelling through space plot. It's a shame because the plot is really interesting it just moves at a snail pace...perhaps there are 20 episodes too many in this drama.
It took me three times to really get into this drama because the first few episodes move really slowly. However once it picks up it's a kind of drama that will make you obsessed with it for weeks. The three different parts of the story, the scenery, the costumes, the well crafted fight scenes, the brilliant ost and the sizzling chemistry between the leads make this to be one of those dramas you compare the rest to.
That being said I feel like there were a lot of draggy scenes (there were whole parts I skipped through) and the last few episodes were not as amazing as the rest. Also I wish they would have finished up at the second leads story lines as opposed to what happens. I don't understand with how even 58 episodes they managed to make the ending feel so rushed and unfinished.
Yang Mi really was so versatile in this drama, from the devoted Yi Sin to the naive but caring Su Su to finally (my fav) strong high god Bai Qian (although seriously some plot devices used....she forgets who she is but just she just dusts herself off and lives in the mountains by her self?....guurl ask someone or search for your family..even if it is the mortal realm). You really feel touched by the devotion she and the rest of the disciples have to Mo Yuan. It makes you want to join a monastery or something to train.
And then there is the brilliant Mark as Ye Hua. Man shows up on screen and sparks are flying everywhere and he doesn't even show that much emotion (in the beginning). And this is one thing Cdramas will always have over Kdramas- the passion and chemistry between leads. Its really rare to find that passion in Kdrama because often idols can't/don't have chemistry lest they bring on the wrath of their anti/fans. Every scene with Ye Hua and Bai Qian was so adorable or passionate that you cant envision them with anyone else, even if they were played by the same actors.
Also props to the two female antagonists who really made me rage every time they were on screen. Always a good sign of how well a villain has acted when they make you want to reach into the screen and slap them.
Annnndddd everything would have been perfect had this entire drama not be tainted by the fact that basically every word has been plagiarised. And from what I have read about the author of the book, plagiarism is her money making machine. It's depressing because you want to love the drama so much and the actors have done such a great job but it's all tainted and you can't ever enjoy it without this niggling feeling that someone has gotten away with doing so many horrible things to weaker/lesser known writers. Also heard rumours that some part of the OST was plagiarised which is just adding salt to the wounds (because the instrumental OST of this drama is everything I want). I just wish that real author could get rewarded for their work instead of the current one who stole word for word... and thus this drama can never get a 10 from me.
