Just wanted to say that I find your review so wholesome. It's objective enough without really putting down OG😊

Some parents choose to introduce less intoxicating alcohol to their kids so that the whole "allure/ mystery/ taboo" behind drinking is avoided. Since the parents collectively raise the kids, they might have felt this would be a good strategy to ensure the kids don't go overboard experimenting on their own later on perhaps?

Hey do you know what's the name of the OST that's played during YT and JQX's Hong Kong initial dating montage? (Think it was in ep 21 or 22 if I'm not mistaken). It's a soft melody sung by a male artist?

I tried using google to find it over the weekend, but couldn't 🙈

The ML cut all ties with his parents after ep 13-15 and later moved to Hong Kong to live with his cousin's family. The parents got a divorce and emigrated so there was no point in covering their scenes after that.

They do make an appearance in the final episode and the mum also calls Cherry in one of the latter episodes between 15-19.

Anytime 😁

She is insufferable throughout his teens. After ep 14 or so her character fades away. We do get some closure in the final episode where it's implied that the mother is trying to reconnect with JQX by learning what he likes but JQX treats her at arm's length (they don't really meet but when she does call, their conversations don't last beyond a minute or so).

The father's relationship with him is also awkward in the last episode but they probably have a better connection since Cherry is anyway in good terms with his dad.

The parents have divorced so I'm guessing their family dynamics isn't as toxic as it used to be.

Some fans are just overzealous I guess.
I kind of understood their pain while watching TPR since his screentime was more or less similar to the FL's in TPR. Guess fans should be more flexible and understand different stories have different requirements?

LTL is available on Netflix only so far as far as I can tell since the fansubber I follow dropped it. Uploads every Sunday (so far only 1 episode is out)🙈

"The flavour was unmistakably Japanese" is the perfect way to summarize it 🤭

Is "Cinderella Closet" the drama with the guy who is dressed like a girl? The trailer looked interesting! 😁
I'm planning to watch it once all the episodes are out (I'm currently watching "Learning to Love" and it's a pain waiting for episodes)

Exactly. If i remember correctly, one of the deleted scenes include JQX settling the hospital bill right? I feel like the way they handled it was more effective. Showing him actually pay the bill is practically spoonfeeding facts 😅

🤣🤣🤣
IKR?! Even I didn't expect to really like it since it sounded so cliché. Glad I was wrong🙈

Oh also- Marry My Husband Jversion- it's worth the watch. They changed the ending so it feels different from both the webtoon and Kdrama versions. How do I put it? It feels familiar and yet different at the same time🙈

We meet again! 🤣👋

Did you complete the drama? I watched this along with The Princess Royal. The joint experience was surprisingly interesting (given how much focus was given on soulmates and lifetimes together in TPR)🤭

It's quintessentially a coming of age drama. There is romance, first love, and unrequited love but most importantly we get to see how several kids who have known eachother for most of their life grow up?

Family dynamics and their impact on youth tend to have more priority throughout the first half of the drama.

We see everything through the FL's pov so some characters may feel underutilised at times but personaly I feel that it's just a creative choice. Since I'm not an uber fan, the choice to give the ML limited screentime for most of the drama made sense for instance (since the drama is in the FL's POV and she's not supposed to know what he's upto most of the time).

They officially get together quite late but it's really 🦋🦋🦋 whenever they are together regardless of their relationship status.

The ending is satisfactory as well IMO since they didn't leave any loose ends.

This makes sense. The Cherry "shrine" in his room did it's job

Based on what was implied, the mum is trying to connect with JQX but he isn't too keen (he barely spends more than a minute when she calls) nor has he given her a chance to show that she has changed.

Same with the father- he's more close with Cherry than with his own son since JQX doesn't really put any effort to connect with him.

The parents have divorced too so their toxic connection is at a minimum.

Not the worst outcome given how dramas tend to gloss over parental abuse i guess🙊

The Netflix schedule is now up :)

Delulu can be trululu too 🤭

Ngl YQ's promise to think about her when he ✈️ does sound promising 🤭

Exactly. Since he was planning to study abroad, there was a possibility he may have migrated to a completely different country.

Yes! I loved how casual it was- suited their vibe. And even if they eventually don't get together, at least YY has closure now since she confessed.♥️
