I’d say it was a happy coincidence. There were two back up men (one planned and one not) who would likely take…
I think she can only plan to a degree. To her classmate who killed her father she said that even in prison he is now free of the shackles of his old life. So, she did her preparation to a degree and even if things got really bad, she still would be better off than with her father alive. Also, she constantly mentions that she’s extremely lucky (like during her jump out of the window), so she leaves some things to her luck. I think it’s a combination of many factors. But maybe I am wrong and we will learn something in the next episodes. Let’s see.
I'm starting, my very first Cdrama. First time in the world of Chinese dramas. I honestly hope I'll get the same…
How’s it going so far? 32 episodes are really detering me from watching. I have tried getting through When I Fly Towars You as my first c-drama, but I dropped it after forcing myself halfway through. Let me know if this one is worth it as my second attempt at c-dramas.
I agree with your take, though both dramas have their upsides. Nevertheless was my first k-drama ever and I absolutely hated it. I hated the characters, how overly dramatic and illogical they are. ML felt toxic for the sake of being toxic, that’s why I appreciate the ML of the Japanese drama more. He seems more grounded and human. Korean ML just seemed evil. Japanese ML has softness that makes him more human.
However, I can’t say the same about Miu. Nabi was fiery, Miu seems cold and empty, almost lacking personality. And I agree, the chemistry was almost non-existent. I wouldn’t even call Japanese version “sexy.” Other couples felt the same. Extremely superficial attraction between them. Don’t even mention style in the Japanese version. Abomination.
It might be a good time to rewatch Korean Nevertheless.
I agree with you a bit. And honestly, I have noticed that in a lot of dramas younger versions have stronger chemistry than the older ones. And this k-drama was the same, school year chemistry carried the relationship of older FL and ML, I think.
Basically, Jae-i’s “suicide” attempt shone light on the fact that her sister was not actually dead and exposed all the dirty deeds of her dad while also helping her escape. Now she can live her life in hiding far away from her family. That’s why she was training to hold her breath under water in a pool.
However, we can see the dad did not get much punishment. He knows his daughter well enough to understand that she’s not dead. So she’s looking for her and keeping an eye on Woo Seul Gi in case she knows something.
The only Chinese drama I have watched before is When I Fly Towards You and I dropped it after forcing myself to get through 10 episodes. Should I still give this one a try and commit to a longer watch?
Just finished watching this. Very decent drama, however the chemistry of the actors playing you ger leads is unmatched. I would have preferred to watch them more.
Tbh I hate the 4 episode rule. Literally the plot of the show always ends after 4 episodes. It happens in all…
In the preview they don’t show him revealing his identity in the next episode. So, maybe this mistery will last longer, if previews can be at all trusted.
