it's soooooo hilariously tropey that it's healing my heart... didn't realize how much I missed all this pure fun nonsensical outrageous fluff also I AM IN LOVE WITH THE SML like wth how can anyone be so perfect 🥰🥰
Right!?? It made me so sad too! I was hoping for a reunion, like a fool, even till that elevator scene, I though…
Thanks for telling me... i am NOT watching the extended version for the sake of my sanity 😭
Kang Ha Neul's character was the type you would pity at first but then fall jn love with and want to marry lol he was soooo cute with the whole morning call arc

Ikr i was hoping against hope even after the wedding... i was just crazily clinging on to some sort of twist from the writer 😭 And it would have been okay if her arc ended with a one sided crush... but when he said he had liked her too I BROKE. Just sobbed and sobbed through the rest of the movie no matter what fun things they did - until Kang Ha Neul's attempted suicide lol that stopped the tears for a while
ngl I cried and cried and didn't stop crying over Han Jimin's arc because it was so relatable Other than that, it is literally the PERFECT end-of-the-year movie
Let's hope for the fast review from NRTA... Don't they look romantic? Just by watching the trailer seems their…
Ashes of Love and Love and Destiny are my absolute most favorite xianxia dramas EVER! this is like such a dream come true... they BETTER have a happy ending lol
True ! You don't get to see toxic relationships in historical drama!Thank you for reading!
I wouldnt call it toxic because that was the way things were in that era and i tend to immerse myself in the time period of dramas while watching. The beautiful thing about these dramas is that they work around all the stupid restrictions and prejudices of the era and manage to produce a sweet story. And the more poor or property-like the FL is treated, the more outrageously boisterous/intelligent she usually is.
And the romance itself isnt usually toxic. As stated in the article, the ML and FL either like and pursue each other or just focus on work/dont like anyone else because there's already too much drama and they're constantly trying not to die.
Except for the last two points (DONT GIVE ME SADISTIC PLOTS OR BITTERSWEET ENDINGS!) I agree with this lovely article. Id also like to add that modern drama leads dont walk around in those beautiful swooshy silk clothes and theyre also less likely to have cool powers and titles(xianxia, im looking with heart-eyes at YOU). I think the restrictions imposed on them make good, realistic plot devices for character growth. I feel like modern dramas keep resorting to dumb plot devices like breakups for no reason or random one dimensional SMLs to spice things up because there's hardly anything restricting romance in our times. Historical drama leads have to overcome family wars, powerful dumbass emperors/kings, evil plotting ministers, dark dungeons, gangs of thieves, sadistic trials, weird rules and all sorts of other stuff that makes them sacrifice their eyes, hearts, core power, aeons of cultivation, positions of power... all that good stuff. Sacrifice for another gets a whole new meaning in those dramas.
i know most of the time they work with a literal title then change it afterwards . i never had a problem with…
You probably already noticed the pattern - its alternate days grouped together. Also, this working title is a literal transliteration of the Korean title. In Korean, the name of each day of the week occupies only one syllable(there's a three-syllable full form but nobody uses it except in ultra formal settings). So the title isnt really weird at all :)
Is this 18 Again funny(romcom laugh out loud), Welcome to Waikiki funny(slapstick cringe comedy) or Pegasus Market funny(witty silly outrageous humour)?
loved Flower of Evil! Thanks for this lost, there are a lot of dramas I've been meaning to check out but get distracted by my fluffy romcoms XD
id also add He Is Psychometric... that drama was thrilling - so intense, in fact, that i completely lost interest in the romance arc. And this is coming from a crazed romance enthusiast. The whole ride was amazing, and the two main guys acted THE HECK out of their roles.
Thank you I am glad you enjoyed this one too ❤️ I love that (way to short) movie, I think I watched it right…
knew it... Samsung def won't let go of their territory lol - i think the have some sort of cultural department for printing Korean culture so that's why they sponsor like 80% of all Korean dramas
Kang Ha Neul's character was the type you would pity at first but then fall jn love with and want to marry lol he was soooo cute with the whole morning call arc

Edit: the entire page looks so gloomy and depressing, even with a depression tag... guess I'll just wait for this one
