Am I the only one who was excited upon finding out that Wang Kai, Liu Tao and Qiao Xin were in Nirvana in Fire. They must be close friends?!
Also Wang Kai and Olivia were together in another drama!
I really loved the first 9/10 episodes, but the last ones were mediocre and made me lose interest. They could…
Instead of thinking of it as mere kidnapping, its more dating violence and abuse - a lot of people in the real world are stuck/trapped in abusive relationships, many locked in their house. I thought this drama was showing a slice of this reality (you have to remember its a slice-of-life drama). In regards to proper closure stuff, we can't assume (and they didn't show us) the characters living a perfect happy ending after the camera stops rolling... we were shown a glimpse of their life for a bit, and rightly so. How many things in your own life have the closure, explanation and development that you may have wanted? I'm not trying to be defensive, but just showing you a different view point. :P
A lot of people weren't happy with the way Ye Eun's situation was handled - the insincere letters by DY and the mental torture we saw at the end of ep 12. My thoughts on this:
I actually liked that part, made it more realistic. Because not everything ends completely and perfectly, and that incident is something that will ALWAYS be at the back of her mind. Also speaking from experience, I’ve known guys who even with restraining orders still continued to contact and harass their ex-gf. And the ex-gf (also my friend) is bright, beautiful and resilient on the outside (like Ye Eun) but things do trigger her and no matter how long it’s been, she is always a bit scared.
Loved the first episode. Didn't think Bo Gum would pull off being an arrogant jerk (a bit) of a Crown Prince so well. He is just the opposite in real life. But he does it so convincingly. Loving all the characters so far.
I love slice-of-life dramas like this! As a university student, I can relate to the situations in this drama (either personally, or someone else I know). There should be more dramas and movies depicting real life like this. :D
Now we have Yi Na's backstory done, seems like ep 10 will focus on Senior Yoons. I hope they don't rush and we get to learn about Eun Jae's story too.
Also want to know more about Ji Won. Currently she is only being used as comic relief, I want more focus on her thought and feelings (and life basically). We know she is the wise one in some situations (as we saw last week), and they only show her for wisdom and comedy :(
I really don't want this show to end. 12 episodes is too short :'(
I am really glad that after the end of ep 12 the drama didn't go down the 'noble sacrifice' path. There was character development where she actually decided to believe in him and believe it's okay to love and be happy. And I am also glad he sensed her hesitation and uncertainty (instead of just thinking about her lying to him) and help her try to overcome it and not go down the sacrifice path. Love this show for not going down the path where rom-coms start to love the comedic and light hearted feel and become overly melodramatic. There were still so many cute and fluffy moments.
Regarding the car accident, I was hoping it wouldn't occur - such a kdrama cliche. But Bo Nui didn't completely disregard the shamans words and was still somewhat hesitant. SO I am hoping something happens in the next two episodes where she makes these decisions without Suho being there and indirectly reassuring her. I'm just praying she doesn't regress and go back to 'noble sacrifice' path. Bo Nui don't leave a man at his lowest, just when he needs you the most.
Please don't make this about PDK dying and trying to get OHY to forget him or crap like that please! and I hope it doesn't drag the storyline of OHY finding out PDK was the reason Tae Jin ended up in jail....*prays that it doesn't go down typical kdrama cliches*
Based on the synopsis, I thought the 2 sisters would be close and nice (with some jealousy). Didn't think the older one would be so cunning and manipulative.
That last 'vision' and the preview :O I can't wait but also feel so sorry for Han Tae Jin (more of his scenes…
I really hope it wasn't one of the forced kdrama ones :( but so excited for eps with more Han Tae Jin. PDK needs to sort out his feelings and stop misleading normal OHY (he treats her like shit one minute and all nice and caring the next)...
From the preview for episode 4... TAE HA nooooooo! He will go to prison for killing the guy in place of Yeo Kyeong, won't be a police officer.. makes my heart break.
