I've been stalking this article to see when it'll get published XD Congrats on this second article that really…
Watch the movie "A Taxi Driver"(I think it;s free on Viki). It gives you lots of details and shows you things from an ordinary citizen's point of view.
I didn't watch It's Okay to Not Be Okay despite the general opinion being that it's a masterpiece. Now I'm wondering…
I dropped it halfway. The general opinion that it's a masterpiece is usually among the younger age groups, because the FL is such a "savage" who also dresses very well.
Basically, they give FL a very dark past which is an excuse for her terrible, close to illegal, behavior. The things she does sometimes really have no excuse. She endlessly stalks the ML to the point that I wanted to throw my laptop. And the worst part is that they spend loadsssss of time running all over a mental health hospital and NOBODY does anything to get her help. The drama sort of makes you think that love can cover everything and change you, but I think both of them badly needed professional therapy. I don't believe in bringing two mentally unstable characters together with an autistic person and then trying to "heal" everyone. It's like a mockery of mental health!
Second chance dramas usually showcase quite a bit of "quiet love" because of the nature of the genre. I liked 18 Again and Go Back Couple for all those little moments that mattered.
Goodness it always surprises me... the way we have such double standards when it comes to cdramas or kdramas. I've always noticed that mature kdramas get way more harshly judged than these cdramas.
Just finished it! It's such an underrated drama! I loved everybody!
Lee Je Hoon and Shin Min Ah's chemistry is honestly one of the BEST I've ever seen in Dramaland!! They're so terribly, hilariously adorable!! I clicked rewind wayyyyy more than I hit forward on most dramas. 🥰🥰 I'm so glad I watched this even with the low ratings. It's a beautiful, heartwarming story that really makes you think and cherish the present you have.
And don't even get me started on the exceptional cinematography. The muted, autumn-y color palette is so beautiful... perfect to immerse yourself in on a rainy day! I loved the way some scenes were shot.
Currently at ep 11 and I'm starting to become irritated to Je Hoon's character. I see him as a close minded person…
The beauty is in the way his character changes and grows... "Even if it's just for one minute, I want to spend it with her." Can you believe he says that?!!
To everyone saying both women were annoying, you haven't watched many historical cdramas, have you? 😂😂 Goodness. AOL's FL is nothing compared to half the others I've watched :P
The article is biased. It clearly favors LAR. One of the article that makes no sense is that saying AOL has no…
I agree that the article feels a little biased(no hate toward the author 😅). Even though Jin Mi couldn't feel emotions, there was LOTS of overflowing chemistry I felt between the two. The whole story is epic, deep and passionate. I didn't think JM was annoying... she was cute and made me laugh quite a bit... and we also get to see that adoring look from Phoenix every time she does something funny. I missed her dorky self a LOT after she completely matured. DL as the phoenix was such a swoony character 😍😍
Even the saddest scenes were written so unbelievably well. I usually hate sad scenes but the dialogue and the way those scenes are shot make it so epic and tragically beautiful that I can watch them again and again. Another commenter here said it was "artistically beautiful". I agree wholeheartedly. It was a mesmerizing watch.
So in the end, I think it's based on your personal preference. One thing I can say with AOL: you have to read between the lines. They don't vocalize every emotion, you have to feel the love more than rely on their words.
I think the biggest reason people find this drama boring is because they enter thinking it's only a crime thriller. It's not. It's a fusion of genres and it's beautiful. If you want a fluffy rom-com, this isn't the one. If you want a complete crime thriller, it's not that, either.
The writer wanted to write a story of a marriage where the woman finds out her husband is not the man she thought he was. The thriller/psychopath/detective aspect was added just to heighten the drama. If you watch it for what it intended to be— a gritty, deep story of a relationship between two people— you'll love it.
The FL had to make such difficult choices. She was so strong. LJG and MCW totally gave life to this couple. Analyze the relationship and emotions, not the crime/thriller part. The drama makes you think a lot. There are little things and big things you have to observe. The writers don't explain everything with words... this is an "actions speak louder than words" drama. Because you can't trust any of the words they speak.
I agree it depends on everyone, I also think ratings are subjective. I seem to always give High ratings, but I…
I usually check MDL ratings and then Viki ratings(which have lower standards lol)... if you take an average, it's usually very reliable as to whether the drama is good or not. Could you name a few dramas with low ratings that you liked?
Idk if this is iQiyi, but does anyone know when She and Her Perfect Husband is releasing??
