365 dni rewatch?
or something lighter: A Cure For wellness.

I liked the songs as they were playing, but after the episode was over I could neve recall the melody of any of the songs or felt like listening to them outside of the show, hence not 10/10 for haha

"as far as I’m concerned it’s because she ran out of the building and got hit by a bus...." damn... i wished the white truck of doom was shown doing it's job hahaha
I actually liked Solo and Gui more than 2nd couple too, tho it's an unpopular opinion.

I feel you on Nut's acting. The first half was not that good, but seeing how well he pulled off the emotional scenes at the end... I'm fairly sure it's the fault of the overall production. If they spend more time on workshop, I think we could have seen the same level of performance at the end throughout the whole show.

And honestly, casting for Solo's dad was such a joke I laughed every time he showed up on screen. I can only imagine how awkward it must have been for the actors to act the scenes with each other lol

I have a quick question :) Since you read the novel you will know the answer.
I started the show with the idea it will be this slow paced sweet story without any unnecessary drama (since that's what people who read the novel said) but then we had almost rape scene, abuse in the work place (closer to the end), Lind character with the serious illness etc. Quite a few things that were far from "drama free", even if the relationship between the mains was.
Are these things part of the novel too? Or were they added to the show?

I'm not gonna lie, I agree with the show being disappointing but for some different reasons. Like, for me I could not get into PhuKao at all. the bunny theme going on around them made me cringe so bad I barely survived (same with the guitar sentiment from the mian couple, but at least Gui did not cosplay guitar like Kao did with bunny, more than once lol).

But I 100% agree about Solo and his dad. When he showed up for the first time I could not stop laughing. At best they could sell him as an uncle, since Nut looks fairly young. And the ex? Looked more like the dad's girlfriend than Solo's. The whole casting surrounding solo was a mess.

Not sure if you saw the last episode, but it actually got worse with it, since they served the most Disney ver. of it ever, removing all the villains they created in the first place.

they just go for quantity over quality. They see $$$$$ in the market so they are dropping shows left and right without enough work done on them to make them truly good.

Like it started with live triangle, but then they added the brother too... and she was close to dying. So much happened in just their story and somehow it was still boring hahaha

to be fair, Woo Yeon CLEARLY told Joon Soo before they started dating that she is not over Lee Soo, that she cannot bring herself to like anyone else and that it would basically be her using him and he would end up being hurt. And he said okay, do it, I don't care. He is not a child. He willingly got himself involved. And he is not as perfect as people think he is. But the end, he started to be quite obsessive and more than once did whatever he wanted without caring if Woo Yeon likes it or not.
That's the thing about this show: all the characters are flawed.

I was not, at all :) Everyone was nice even if they disagreed hahaaha
but yeah, I could not rate to Teh with how he was written and how Billkin acted the role.

Jo, look at you becoming reviewer. I'm so proud lol
the equivalent of the "do you ever look at someone and think, 'what's going on in their head?'" meme < is a perfect description of the show.
And you are totally right that even tho it's full of nonsense, it still carries some important messages, especially from Nott's character.

The last episodes focus more on the relationship between Da Jung and Dae Young. There will be scenes where the kids start to see more of the perspective of the dad and see they were too quick to judge him for not caring, when he did in fact, but there will be no one on one discussion about it.
Last episode we only get to see kids with the dad and him truly helping/supporting them as the father.

the time skip is always an easy way out to "fix" problems, as you can excuse whatever you want with "it happened in that time skip". But it's lazy writing and I truly hate it.
I honestly don't remember that many details from this show tho, since I've watched it 2 years ago hahaha

Glad you enjoyed the read :) took me a little bit to write it to make sure it "worthy" of the show itself ahahaha

for me, it was unnecessary conflict. For me the fact Oh-Aew wanted to openly date and Teh was just figuring out his sexuality and was not read was enough.
I rather have well explore one conflict than having many but none satisfying me completely.

Many people enjoyed the show for Mew and Gulf chemistry as Tharn And Type and was able to ignore the problematic stuff. Good for them. Me, at the time of writing the review, studying clinical psychology, could not. It's hard to ignore these things when you are studying the field.

I actually rewatched many scenes before writing the review to make sure I have everything right, so the fans can't call me out for misunderstanding anything.

I think I dropped it because of the lack of team-bonding. This is one of the reasons I even like con artists shows and movies so much. While it might have been more interesting and fresh approach, when most people worked for themselves, it was not something I was looking for.

and yeah, the flashback in the flashbacks were a bit too much.

Great review btw. Makes me not want to pick the show up again, which is a good thing, since I was not sure. But with how you described the directing and writing in the show, it's for sure not my type.

I'm not saying the crying scene overall did not fit. But they were making some scenes way more dramatic than they truly were. Not all, but some.

As for giving up his spot for uni, I still believe it was selfish thing to do. It was a decision that was suppose to make himself feel better and less guilty. If he truly thought about Oh-Aew, he would not make it. Also, Oh-Aew did not just give up on studying, but overall taking the exam. He gave up on his dream, so with what logic Teh thought he would accept the free spot. He said he thought about it before deciding, but he truly didn't. It was an impulsive and stupid decision that hurt everyone (Teh, Oh-Aew, Teh's family).

Yes, they are teenagers, but even for teens they acted over the top and overdramatic making truly dumb decision. The actions they took are not a norm for teens.

I still enjoyed the show. First 3 eps were for sure the best, but episode 4 left too much of a bad taste for me to give it more than 8.

His parents are doctors, pretty sure they just had a chat with a psychiatrist colleague about the situation. makes sense, they know psychiatrist, they can quickly ask during the working hours lol

Sang Ha "leaving" after the race was such a stupid shit. Like.. he won LITERALLY coz he wanted to be with Jin Won. So he can pay the debt and make sure Jin Won is safe. So they can now run together without the worry coz gangsters fucking shit up.
B UT THEN HE LEAVES AND I;M LIKE WHAT AND WHY?
