BobbyMcCane It's a shame that you messed up such a beautiful series in the last episode, you killed everyone in us by strangling more than half of the episode, why those two who shit and don't stop????

estar there is a pressure in my head & my jaw from wanting to cry, but suppressing it. this was beautifully painfully & depressing as all hell. i read somewhere that's this is an open end - this aint open anything! - Ryu & Jo Han were on a journey that would end with Jo Han's body finally giving up, it could take a day, a week or less. but given his situation, he didn't have long - that's why his sister allowed Ryu to take Jo Han out of the hospital, cause she couldn't do anything more to help him. **********************this whole story was freakin depressing & we had to get Jo Han's back story & how much he suffered & from so young, yet life wouldn't cut him a break. the fact he found a soul mate - something i doubt most of us do or recognize if we do, is the only bright spot in a really dark story. *****************************************************************************************************the plot was depressing & sad - given this last ep i had a feeling that the writer has personally lost someone they loved dearly & this was a love song to them & that love. *********************************************************************************************as i have always said, the reason we watch drama's & movies in general is so we can forget about reality for X amount of time & get immersed in a magical land were everything is good & happy, even if there r hurdle's to overcome, by the end the good triumph while the bad get their comeuppance & we get a happily ever after. this type of drama/movie forces u to face how sad life can be & just cause u have it bad now, doesn't mean anyone owes u that it will get good from now on, it can & will get worse - depressing. still it was well written & acted, but given how sad this is i doubt i will revisit this anytime...

Being a relatively newbie to jdramas and kdramas, the previous 'oldest' jdrama series I watched was 'Orange Day's" which I really liked. This series is almost 30 years old. What I really liked about it was the female roles: the women were independent feisty and dressed how they liked... they spoke about sex and appeared totally normal etc... It seemed to me to be a series that could have represented a lot of different cultures. Not knowing the history of jdramas or mangas I don't know why there is such a modern feel to this series which is 30 years old compared to some more recent series where the female roles are passive and not very vocal. Not being from Asia I am not the person who can explain why this series seems more modern than stuff produced now! As I watched it on Netflix (where I watched 'Orange Day's) It would be great if there were more 'older' jdramas available to watch.. I recognised the actor who played the FLs brother from "Step mum and daughter blues" and the young gifted pianist is actress from the quirky "Quartet". I believe that this was an extremely popular series at the time for the main leads.. I've seen the ML in some other series but unfortunately haven't gotten to see the actress who played the FL in anything else which is a shame.Really realistic story with great acting 90s costumes and nice OST.

OMG but this was depressing... it was one thing after another - no breaks. poor Jo Han of course he's gonna sacrifice himself for Ryu's peace of mind - so he wont become a burden. but what is he going back too? is his sister waiting for him in Korea? will he even lean on her if she is? & what about the mess he left behind - or rather that f*cker Shim, he not gonna pop-up like a bad penny??? given how this drama has developed i doubt in the last ep we gonna get an easy ride - heck i am dressing pressing next in fear of fresh new hell is awaiting me. but none of the disease the doctor mentioned r an "easy ride" they will literally be hell on earth for a young guy like Jo Han. idk what we gonna get but personally i am hoping for a miracle which we don't get in real life so from the writer of this....

nero truong i think gentaro’s best strength is his empathy. he’s motivated to do better for others & trikes to understand everything about a person，it’s really nice. & i adore this episode for miu. this episode isn’t about chastizing her it’s about understanding her & not dismissing her because she has a frigid demeanor. & not just understanding her but celebrating her talents & intellect & how she can actually contribute to the kamen rider club. this was a fantastic，excellenmt hostage fight scene one of my favorite bits of characterization is the line ’ ’ don’t trust her just because she’s a girl ！’ ’ LIKE YEAH THIS WOULD BE A PROBLEM GENTARO PUTS THEM THROUGH. & i like the ending resolution. that’s still her friend that she also can listen to & understand why she did what she had to do. it makes miu & yuki beefing more bareable. i really enjoyed miu’s episodes. it’s really refreshing in a show satirizing clichés to take it somewhere else sp tastefully. they used their time extremely well. we hyad a lot of fun we developed multiple different characters & we also said what needed to be said & allowed for trust to drive their actions instead of having to see gentaro waiting for miu to wake up & encouraging her when he already did that. he did it well & has the faith that she will show up.

Gyeongseong Creature Season 2 Episode 1

Teekay3Star This time jump is seriously throwing me off. Im assuming it has to do with the monsters DNA but even still they mentioned Madam Na being alive. There's no way she'd be alive after all the time that has passed. I can always suspend disbelief in fiction but it needs to be explained pretty quickly. because as of right now all it seems like is they said we're gonna take the cast from s1 and throw them 79 years in the future like it was always set in this time

As noted in a prior episode review, the Du Yang Xi character shows his petty, spiteful nature right away in his new marriage. It's one thing that he hadn't yet scene the face of his new wife due to his mother agreeing to the change in bride, but isn't he aware of the fact that Shou Hua is the one who actually saved him from freezing to death in the streets? For that alone, smple human gratitude should have him kowtowing to her for the rest of his life. The fact that his bizarre, emotionally challenged friend saw Du's wife's face and experienced her care before Du did is a pathetic little regret that Du will always have to live with. He has so much to make up to her now in this marriage. It was SO satisfying to see that even Sang the Stone understands that Du has wronged his wife and kicks him out of his room. Of course, soon enough, he realizes his mistake but his pride and pettiness drag out the reconciliation and worse, his naive and shallow understanding of 'principles' that he adheres to make him an easy mark for manipulation.

IrenaK Even though they haven’t actually been caught yet, I don't think they are doing a very good job of hiding it or sneaking around! They always meet in such exposed areas that can be overlooked from quite a distance… At night, they have lanterns lit absolutely everywhere around them… And Xiao Duo is now just openly wearing Yinlou’s Fish Immortal token?! Do they not care about my nerves? I am so on edge whenever they meet because the Emperor or any of his men could easily see them. And Empress Rong'an has already put two and two together… poor Tongyun has even been dragged into one of her malicious schemes now. Oh, my… The only consolation is that Princess Hede is actually helping them now!

So proud of the show writers for not dragging the main couple's separation out for 20+ episodes through various plot contrivances, such as is so common in so many c-ddramas! Thank you, writers! Hopefully we now get to see the two clever leads working together as a team to solve the various problems they will face.

I’ve finally gotten to start this as apart of my marathon of the「 super hero time 」seasons that directly respond to the tohoku earthquake as did「 kis-my-ft2 」’s debut song reworking. i have always wanted to watch this season as i do love pirates & yamada yuki looks amazing but i hekld back on it because it was an anniversary season but i don’t really care about that anymore this is anthropology now ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ my current ranking is yellow luka » blue joe » pink ahim » red marvelous » green doc. i like luka she’s spunky & firey & I’m excited to see what they make of her. joe is sexy. ahim is the one I’m most interested in where they take her. she’s most likely a princess or noble lady but i think it’d be cool to see her be the complete oppsotie & piracy is her way of getting to that life+style shje performs. ozawa ryota is not as charismatic as i expected him to be but i like how unfriendly he is. i really like how minimal this episode was with showing & not telling to leave them some mystique which fits him well ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ doc is the least interesting to me i laughed when i say his bounty but he has some fun quirks. i think the translator made an error in calling him doc so i assumed he was a medic on the team but he still has his acrobatics that intrigue me ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ this is my first ever sentai season where the entire team is established already & i like how they went about it. each of them left a pretty favorable impression on me & I’m excited to start this new season.

The presence of Eun-si in the cafe when they were discussing about the return of in The Eight Club. This is the only flaw I have come through otherwise it's quite relatable and satisfying.

this was an emotionally draining ep, poor Sumiko idk why Ryu didn't stay with her when she was with her in-laws, maybe it wasn't acceptable - but as he knows she doesn't have family. having to face them in her condition wasn't fair. so am happy Jo Han thought to mention visiting her. if he hadn't idk what would've been the outcome - not good that's for sure. but cause of the visit with Ryu's family & the support of not just Ryu's mother, but also Ryu & Jo Han offering they move in together saved not just her but also her unborn child. this ep broke my heart & as this a running theme throughout this drama. nothing new.... just wondering what more is gonna go wrong as there 2 more ep's to go & i doubt the writer is gonna give us the sliver lining without the dark clouds ugh

i don’t care what the liberal bourgeoisie have to say STALKING PHONE DATE BROUHT THIS SHOW TO NEW HEIGHTS. was it corny when they revealed ren secretly donates to orphanages YES but was it truly romantic when they revealed shu was also PAYING FOR EVERYTHING & MAKING HER FEEL LUCKY ALL DAY YUUUP. & THEN WE’re GOING TO TEMPORARILY BLIND MIKO THIS ENTIRE EPISODE & HAVE HER RUN TO REN AT THE WORST POSSIBLE MOMENT WOWWW this episode won me over ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ i think they chose the right moment to actually enter nana into the competition because i thikn the hurdle of being an idol band+man is jumped. i am still extremely cautious about how this is going to go when we still have eight more epiodes ofa slow±burn. this show is slowly getting better each episode though it feels more like the natural hectic nature of being a celebrity hiding things with romantic moments seeping there way through at every turn rather than the initial flash±bang of trope after trope after trope ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ i like how ren is softening up without completely morphing & it’s more fun when we have moments ewhre miko isn’t fearing him. still mixed about how i feel about miko ，there’s a lot of great imagery in this episode though.
