I dropped it at ep 8. So came here to see if it's got better or not, saw it's not. :')
just drop it for good? 🤷♂️why drop a show and pick it back up the very week later it updates new episodes again to hope it gets better. why not trust your instinct the first time and just go enjoy something else you might like?
Imo if you haven't liked eps 1-10 thus far, I don't see how watching episodes 11-14 will make you "enjoy" this show anymore than do you do now. You basically miss or dislike 75% of the show, just to hope the remainder 25% is better?
the fact this is part comedy genre and i am still this stressed. imagine if this is just straight up serious all the time, i would not have survived this far🙏
the switching is an integral part of the drama, they will likely switch a couple times more (just my guess. so far they have switched once and then got their own bodies back, but will switch again in ep 9). So don't expect a one time off with the body swap. If this is not something you're interested in, I think it's best to go watch and enjoy something else.
Alright, hear me out — I’m starting to think Dal-I’s aunt, who was also the court lady who served her previously,…
I mean, that's a guess, but we know how thorough and calculative the left minister is. There's no way he has a lacky work for him and have no clue who they are and who their families are. he has to know who it is he's dealing with, otherwise he wouldn't be as powerful as he is. if the masked figure is the aunt, then he would have already known by now Dal's true identity.
I'm not crazy to say the gist of this "plot" already happened in part 1, right? Random girl with superpowers escapes and ends up living with caring farm folk whom she grows somewhat attached. Headaches. Very bad headaches. She is also hunted by individuals with superpowers but no worries, no stakes at all because random girl is the most super powerful of them all and she will beat them effortlessly. The end.
At least part 1 had substance. This one tried to introduce more backstory into who these girls are but it feels more like a filler, the transitional episode that connects the actual main stories? Of course even transitional portions are important but to think THIS is the long awaited part 2. Will there be part 3? 🧐
This is my first time enjoying the plot over just the romance aspect. (Usually I tend to favor the romance development and if that aspect is good, then even if the plot may be subpar, I won't mind. But for this show, I wasn't pulled by the romance much.) Although I do think the story balances the plot and romance well, I still found myself sometimes skipping over the romance scenes. I guess I was just more intrigued about the trials and investigations. Of course despite skipping, I still grasped their romantic development very well and understood their significance toward one another, so you can assume I'm just that good at reading the romance or the other way to view this is the romance may be too predictable. Either way this can be interpreted doesn't really decrease that their romance was still sweet.
This is my first drama with Suzy. As a kdrama fan who's been watching on/off since the early 2000s/2010s, I never got around to watching her dramas, but I've heard of the critiques on Suzy's acting and I can see why. Sometimes her emotional scene does feel a little stiff and her voice is what raises while her facial expression remains rather calm. But overall, the performance is still good enough to deliver the story.
I don't mind the comedy much, it added just enough flavor and not too overwhelming that it ruins the seriousness of the genre.
I mean, it was alright. Comparing this to the webtoon/novel is what will ruin your perception of the show. Because nothing will ever be as good as the source material anyway, so might as well try to view this objectively.
The cgi is probably the worst aspect but by Korean media standards, it's probably decent? 🤷♂️ It started alright but in the later fighting scenes that require a lot of motion and action, the quality is visibly bad. It looks like they just gave up.
The team-up feels forced somehow, I barely know them. I guess it's because they didn't have much background, and most of their characterization is told through Dok-ja as one liners. The movie is definitely packed with good things and it feels like there's something important to tell, but that's just the thing, it's too stuffy in movie format. Maybe it could have benefitted as a multiple episode series, but then again, webtoon/novel fans will probably tear that apart too so it's a lose-lose situation for the production team.
Advice for the people wondering if they should keep watching for something "interesting" to happen. If by ep6 you are still bored, then I have no hope that you will be interested as the story progresses/continues to unfold. The plot, the body swap, the mystery of the Crown Princess, the revenge and politics, the comedy, the yearning, the relationship/romance development, etc. All of this has already been laid to captivate and make people interested to know more. We're already reaching half the entire series (14 eps total), there's really nothing else to cling onto that could be "interesting" if you haven't already been interested by those that I just mentioned.
Clearly what this show has set up and provided is something you're fundamentally not interested in, so don't waste your time being bored, just drop and go watch something else👍
Maybe try again another time if you have fomo later. But for now, if you're not intrigued by what has been given thus far, you're better off not watching the rest.
I don't get the rating and the complaints at all?? I haven't laughed this much since BAYM! Loving the role swaps,…
Unfortunately, not all shows will fit everyone's tastes. Hopefully this show gains more traffic with the audience that do like it and ratings go up soon. But honestly, MDL ratings is something to take with a grain of salt. Some shows with very high ratings I didn't enjoy, and some shows with lower ratings I enjoyed quite a bit. It's hit or miss sometimes. People who are open to watch a show based on substance, rather than a rating, will definitely enjoy this show 😊
It's so obvious U Hui and Yi Un care deeply for each other but the circumstance of their situations prevent them from achieving what they want. And in the midst of heated emotions, they say things that end up hurting the other. I can only hope U Hui will choose to join hands with them three, rather than work on her own against them and her father. She cannot achieve anything on her own, but if they work together, maybe they'll all get something out of it.
As for our main couple, things are finally picking up. Emotions are starting to fall into place. It's gonna be messy but I know it will be good 😫👐
Her "aunt" gave her ring to her adoptive parents. It was in a deleted scene but MBC put it on YouTube…
Oooh that's interesting. I just assume since the ring was on the dead body, that YiGang has them now and they're stored away safely. I didn't know there was a deleted scene of the Aunt giving it to the adoptive parents afterwards. If so, then I think it will definitley come up too. The rings are too important to simply ignore.
So currently everyone still believes the crown Princess is dead and Dal I is just some lookalike. They do have suspicions but don't have solid proof. I wonder how they're gonna figure it out she isn't just a lookalike, but she IS the dead crown Princess.
Here are my thoughts on how it could go down.
1. Maybe the Aunt showing up will solidify her identity. This was someone closest to the crown Princess who disappeared with her. If she is shown to be with Dal I, it becomes obvious two people with the same faces as the disappeared individuals cannot be a coincidence. 2. I was thinking, like how Dal I accessed YiGang's memories, maybe while their souls are switched, he will access her locked memories too and figure it out. 2.5. Dal I is starting to reveal personal information about herself to YiGang, maybe the more she talks about herself and how she came to lose her memories, it will naturally lead to more solid connection to the crown Princess. 3. Han Cheol will want her dead again. I don't think he believes she truly died back then. His adamance on wanting her dead once again will probably lead to YiGang wanting to protect her even more and suspect there is more to this lookalike than just HanCheol wanting to secure the crown Princess spot for his daughter. 4. The Red Thread. Maybe they learn more about this and how it works and figure out the thread ties soulmates from start to finish, so there is no way the crown Princess and Dal I happen to have the same face but are two different people.
What are you guy's theories on how it could go down?
