For a lot of people, it was the first k drama ever, watched during COVID lockdowns. Mine too! I found it so different from western shows that I fell into the drama rabbit hole I do not want to leave!. I never rewatched it, though I tried once and could not finish the first episode! But it still has a special place in my heart for being the first. I probably would rate it much lower if I watched it now: I still remember things that I did not like about it but chose to overlook: it was too long, the second couple was odd, the actors had good chemistry but they are too old for the roles! Nevertheless, it is responsible for my addiction! My taste evolved since! LOL
Is the book author a big fan of Star Trek: The Next Generation? The character of Kyu is surely modeled on Q from Star Trek! Cryptic and mysterious, putting Sunshine on trial....
MDL has no problems with movies including mass murdering, but if there are boobies, its the end of the world and…
Not only MDL! Everywhere is the same: killing, guns and blood is ok but God forbid a piece of skin is showing: the prude patrol goes on rampage. 🤣🤣🤣 I could never understand how seeing people in love/naked is more morally harmful than gun violence!🤔
"A “Flower boy” can be described as a man having a soft appearance, smooth skin, decent manners and wearing fashionable makeup and clothes." Aren't the majority of characters in BLs (ukes), flower boys? Uea, a character from Bed Friend, thai bl for example?
Amazing drama: cinematography is beautiful, the acting top notch, the storyline original and griping. This is NOT for the fluff loving crowd and it definitely needs more love!🥰🥰🥰
I am watching it, falling asleep 'cause bored out of my mind and wondering why the actors have mask like, frozen, single-expression-fits-all features? I just realized they were cold 🥶🥶🥶while filming: everyone has steam coming out of their mouths when they speak but they are not smoking!🤣🤣🤣
It is not the first j bl I drop because of the cringy humour which I really do not likr only to pick it up one day when I have nothing to watch and moderately like it (Kieta Hatsukoi was the first such drama! lol🤣🤣🤣) so there is still a sliver of hope for me...😉..Thanks for the rec....🙂
Thanks for this review! It looks like I dodged the bullet here!🤣🤣🤣I dropped it after 18min because I could not stand the cringy not-funny comedy. For the past year the japanese have been on a bl roll, releasing excellent dramas, so I am hoping that this one is just an accident that will not be repeated!
Thank you for this review! I also had the problem with the fantasy element. I loved the series until the last couple of episodes when I started to realize this whole story is not the usual transmigration kind (like dozens of chinese dramas are) as they started to blur the line between the reality and the game and when the game became, not actually a game, but an allegory for afterlife or some such metaphysical idea! I was looking for a logical conclusion and I got some deep meaning, fate & destiny concept, heaven or whatever! Eventually, I discovered from the comments, that the whole story is set in the ML's afterlife when he was given the chance to be happy. In the afterlife?!?! I was expecting the whole fantasy element actually to help him deal with causes of his sadness and depression and therefore be happy in reality. Not in heaven! A big let down! Otherwise the drama is excellent: well produces, stunning cinematography (contrast shots, sunlight, ceilings...) and the acting was a cut above the usual web drama fare.
