this could have been a tight 12 episodes if they took out all the music montages and long speeches. still enjoyable and i had to look up who aaron kwok was after this lol.
i saw on avenueX youtube channel that this was also cut into a film? if he cut a movie version of this, this might get a proper English release (film release means he might want to submit this for international film festivals). until then, i'll suffer without subs and rely on my duolingo mandarin.
Sometimes when I come to MDL I feel like I watched a completely different show than everyone else. I don't know…
i don't think they could write him like they did the book bc the book was written in like 1974 lol. i welcome the update to blackthorne's character wholeheartedly. he's supposed to server as the outsider in the narrative (literally lol) and it works
this drama is so beautifully shot and you can tell the cinematographer had fun shooting this. every scene looks and feels like a dream and the acting is really good!
Ugh I just came here to rant about these comments, straight after watching the take out boxes scene. It's ridiculous,…
i had to turn comments off because it got so grating reading people just nitpick on both FL for absolutely normal human traits lmao. i have never seen that behaviour on viki in my life.
iirc adoption is not much of an option in japan. i've only seen situations of adoptions where a rich business…
it is very unfortunate and i too wish adoption or fostering was brought up. i also wished the character in this drama, aoki saku, who was an orphan brought up the possibility of adoption to nana but as i understand it, it's a very complicated process in japan and it's most likely by design. hopefully things can and will change.
The ML is a good man but I'm on the 8th epi and in most of the scenes the FL keeps going for the procedures on…
iirc adoption is not much of an option in japan. i've only seen situations of adoptions where a rich business owner adopts an adult (!) to take over their company over their kid. most children who are out of a family register end up in foster care until adulthood. it's sad because in the drama, you saw that they applied for a a subsidy/grant to go through in vitro and i feel japan should push for those who can't have kids to adopt or foster kids. but hopefully that changes.
Great drama, what are some of the characters you guys thought were unlikable or annoying?For me, it was Linxinzi…
everyone says the little sister/cousin but that is how a lot of 20 somethings actually act lmao. they're not like that forever and they eventually grew up into better people. for that character, she did grow up a bit as a result of her terrible relationship with that incel.
i liked this one! it's slow moving but you get to see people figure out an adult relationship in real time, mistakes and all. i actually prefer this route to the korean dramas where it just magically falls in place.
i'd recommend watching this on viki WITHOUT the comments because you have a bunch of armchair therapists complaining about the FL for the most minor shit (leaving a take out box on a table resulted in a few calling her abusive and a slob) and calling the naive younger sister everything but a child of god. the most media illiterate among us do not realize that yes, characters can be flawed and even flawed characters move the story along.
