Every melodrama get trashed in the forum lol. Only fluffy romance that does not exist in the real world get high…
omg I know what you mean. I experienced the same thing before with many shows where people completely miss the main points of series and just focus on the romance. If the romance doesn't go their way, the show is the trash. *cringe*
The comments made me think this was going to be a big pile of trash. I still watched anyway and I ended up being shocked-not-shocked that the comments here were complete overreactions. I can understand if this type of melodrama is not your preference, but a lot of the criticism here is so shallow and baseless. Amazing.
A lot of new BL fans only look for shows with lots of sex and/or fluffy romance. And that's fine. But that doesn't mean that shows without sex or contrived skinship are invalid. The BL fandom is really starting to become very negative and toxic and that's a shame.
I seem to be the only one who thinks this way but I will die on the hill that there's no way in hell the second…
The second lead couple was fun and cute. But to say they are more interesting than Kang Soo and Dan Ah is crazy. I think they actually might be one of the strongest lead couples I've seen. Both in terms of story and Go Kyung Pyo and Chae Soo Bin's performances/chemistry.
Such a wonderful movie. But one thing threw me off. The actress who plays Vanessa is Filipino and the other actresses who were foreigners that knew Vanessa also appeared to be Filipino. But the characters are supposed to be Indonesian. Though later in the film, they have the Filipino custom of "mano po" where a younger person takes the hand of an older person to their own forehead as a sign of respect. So it was very strange to me. lol Not a big deal, but it just kept me thinking throughout the movie hehe
Also, honestly this series had a pretty brisk pacing for this type of story. You want sloooow? Try Jung Hae In's last two dramas or "Encounter." Not trying to drag Encounter or Something in the Rain, etc. But I personally liked those shows not because of their writing or plots, I'll put it that way.
I really feel robbed of the 4 episodes. This was certainly a slowburn type of drama. But there was certainly plenty of story left on the table to fill four more episodes with. Especially when the supporting cast were all interesting in the own right as well.
Any other Something in the Rain fans here? I could not stop smiling and laughing. If you watched both this show and Something in the Rain, you will know what I'm referring to lol
Does anyone know where they filmed the scenes for the school trip? Especially the scene on the cliff at the end of Episode 6/start of Episode 7? It's beautiful.
It's all worth it in the end. It's certainly not a perfect show, but the time you'll invest I think really makes the final episode very satisfying. And the cast is very charming which helps when things may slow down.
The movie has way too many taboos to make it enjoyable to watch. I'm ok with the first portion, but the second…
"While I can't accept this movie emotionally, at least I can understand the movie intellectually." OMG! I was looking for how to put what I was feeling into words and you just did it with that sentence. Like I get the movie and what it tries to say, but I can't "feel" anything about it, particularly the 2nd half.
The strongest aspect of this drama was that it featured many different aspects of teenage life and different types of characters. While we know who are the obviously leads are, all the characters (teens and adults) showed different every day problems and struggles they go through.
