hmm... I guess the ranking is subjective for people as well. fir me it makes a lot of difference between a series that's rated 7 to the one that's rated 8. But the ranking platues towards the end..so 9-10 would be much closer in terms of enjoyment for me then 7-8 is.
Btw I haven't seen it yet, I was looking at reviews in order to decide.. your sounded too good to be 7.

P.S.- I like this -nim thing. I will use it too 😁.. Verrronicaa Paarrk-nim 🥂

Yo, Veroonicaa paarrk.. you review sounds like an 8/10 instead

cool. lemme know if it does. I will consider it then

There is a saying, I think you havent heard about it ' Don't judge a ......:

Aah. A sociologist who watch drama.. 🥂

I was thinking of starting it, but now I don't feel so.

Hahahahahah. I am so happy that you liked it. I feel like it's a movie you will appreciate more with time. Revisit it months later. As for the rating, it really doesn't matter much, I have some flawed series which I rated 8 but somehow it leave more impact/memory that a 9 point series could not. 😁

As for josee, I think you should watch it after 18x2. If you want more mood specific recommendations lemme know. I also put some sadish movies in the recommendations as well, cos you don't mind such endings, but if you want more slice of life, lemme know.

P.S. - the Convo has gone too long 🤣. Just DM me next week instead after watching which ever movie you wish (18x2 would be better ig)

Can't wait for your reply
Best of luck🤞🍀

2521 is one of your top shows? lol..First time hearing someone praise it and not say the last two episodes f-ed it up (btw I haven't reached there yet, but I know it's something sad..don't tell ofc).

anyways, I also appreciate a good sad story. (but at the same time I also appreciate a good happy story).. but I think sad story definately has more depth to it.
So on the same note, let me recommend you 3 movies, since you mentioned you never gave a movie more than 8.5. I am hoping these would break you 8.5 border. Also, not to give a hint, I have mixed movies so that the ending doesn't become obvious. Please watch these of you get the chance ..and definately let me know if you do watch them !!
1- Josee (2020) korean
2- 18x2 - Beyond Youthful Days
3- Little Forest (korean)
4- Perfect Days (Jap)

I couldn't make it 3 as one more popped into my head while writing 😮‍💨🤭😬🤣
But now it's a perfect mix. You wouldn't be able to guess which has sad ending, which has happy and which one has the most unexpected one !

Cheers 🥂

Hahah.. it wasn't supposed to be funny, but I will take whatever compliment I get !! :p
Regarding a bit picking guy giving 10 to a series, That sets up big expectations for the rest two dramas who you have rated 10. I have seen extraordinary attorney woo, and its in my top.list as well (anything 9 or above is top.tier for me, the difference between them aren't much and are very subjective).
but the rest two I have seen (DP and my twenties) maybe I will see it later if I am in the mood. (Right now I am watching 2521)

In short, I would rather be happy then correct 😬

Hahahah.
I am liking this conversation
I understand what you mean. I also have this itch to know the reason for everything..I can't stand unreasonable things. But for some time now, I have been forcing myself to change, and kDrama has been a big part of it. I am enjoying it, but also taking it like a bitter pill sometime, to reduce my reason seeking brain's activity and maybe increase a little bit of the emotional heart's beat. And that's why I am usually very liberal when it comes to kDramas (as it would be clear by my ratings).
That's why I am okay withthe mystical Grandma, who looks lost and mad like she is a wandering soul, who drops here and there when it matters to help, like a random traveller who you meet suddenly, talk for a few minutes and then leaves...and that is sometimes way more moving/calming/rewarding than much longer conversations.
Regarding the rest of the things, I will agree to disagree, because I don't want to actually admit to a few flaws (which are seemingly becoming obvious and true) only to reduce my love for a sweet series that I saw and have a cherished memory of 😬😬. What a waste of time and energy and vibe it would be 🙈🤭.

Hahahah.... Well atleast I won't be attacking you, and you have a lot of supports as I could see from the reviews. So it should be okay.Hmmm... Well, you points mostly seem valid, and 2-3 of them I didnt even pay attention. At this point I would like to mention, that the reason I rated it 9.5 first (and then 10 after the second watch) is because it was among the first few K-dramas that I saw, so the cliches/troupes were new for me (be it the killer one, they having being met in the past etc). This is what happened with QOT as well. Hence I loved the two, but maybe if I would have seen them nowI might rate them .5 less I think. Now coming to each point...

-I thought the Killer was key to the plot, or else it wouldn't have justified the dramatic element and dramatic behaviour of the FL. But now that I have seen a few more dramas, I think the death could have been done by various other ways (like in Final destination) but then I think getting rid of this killer variable would have had issues..it much easier to get rid of a killer character instead of a random nature/fate which keeps killing the ML.

-Why would you think grandma arc was incomplete? She had that sage like character who keeps nudging her at the right direction, and it was ultimately because of her that those guys met. So I don't think her character was out of place at all.

- The brother earning and she spending it on concerts and mercendise is honestly the point which I didn't even consider. So if this was indeed the case, I think it's very well justified. I was under the impression that she did some sort of work (not a proper job) and that's how she was earning. But now I think I could be wrong there. But the point she not acting her age, I think I have seen enough adults who aren't mature, so I would be okay with that thing..esp when she couldn't communicate to many people as she was disabled, so maybe she stayed at home a lot.

-Was she too cutesy? hmm.. It didn't seem to me.
Isn't it the usual feminine behaviour of korean girls (not to over generalize, but that's what I have seen in most of the dramas and general behaviour of girls)

-For the ML bein ready to give up on his life just after meeting for 5 mins... I didn't get that point? which scene are you talking about specifically? can you please clear that.

Well I am ofc open to other opinions. I understand that stories and feeling can be subjective. it's just that I couldn't see any reason. If you can, please do tell !

inshallah

hahaha .. so true. When I saw him first in crash course, I thought he looked and felt weird. But he grew on me. And this series I will watch for the only reason that he is in it

finally... after so much praise I thought I was the only odd one out. it wasn't perticularly boring but I got busy somewhere and then just couldn't find time to resume it. i think I had reached till the 12th episode

It's the first time I am saying this...that I wouldn't absolutely hate the idea of it

I would say he is the only male korean actor I am keeping in 'Watching a series just cos of the actor' list

ahhahaha... same here. i mean not the crush thing, but I cam over from pro bono
