So... I checked it out... 51 EPISODES of MORE THAN 2 HOURS EACH?And I thought Chinese dramas were long...
Yeah, EK has been on YouTube forever, but it’s a commitment as are most Turkish shows 😊It’s lighthearted enough, though, where it might be easy to put down or watch while you’re in between shows. Can Yaman (the ML) is verrry built, yah. I don’t mind, personally 🤭
You need some patience with Early Bird because they made the FL stupid and clumsy for the first few episodes.
Clumsy and immature, yes. She gets in over her head with her rich and conniving boss who blackmails her from the beginning, and eventually buries herself in her lies and it makes it harder and harder to be honest, even after she breaks free of the boss. But she doesn’t share a lot of her feelings with anyone, except her best friend, so it’s not surprising she keeps things from the ML. It has its frustrating stretches, yes. But it helps that the ML knows most of the truth and waits / sometimes pressures her to be honest.
I wouldn’t describe her as stupid though. She’s got a photographic memory and she’s talented and creative. But as you said - patience is needed. Can, while he communicated better than Sanem, wasn’t all that great at being forthright with her either 😂 But that’s the point - it’s a show lighthearted like Dynamite Kiss where the humor / plot is mostly based off of the misunderstandings, secrets and lies lol.
Guys, seriously watch the Turkish drama Erkenci Kus / Early Bird - the whole series is available on YouTube. If you like romcoms with chaos, misunderstandings, indulgient fan service / coincidences, a bit of noble idiocy, lies, lots of keeping secrets, FIERY chemistry, a great cast of side characters and catchy music this is a great option. It has a lot of similarities with Dynamite Kiss - such as a kiss between the leads in the first episode, a less-wealthy FL & rich ML, the FL being bribed and then blackmailed to go against the ML in the beginning, some expected / arranged engagements, etc. I also can’t tell you enough how HOT 🔥the ML and FL are. There’s also angst, LOTS of seamless skinship and sensuality- especially from the ML. And the angst doesn’t devolve to the dark pits of the FL getting hit / abused. It also kinda gives My Big Fat Greek Wedding vibes. The family relationships are great as well, and the FL’s parents are happily married. It’s a LONG, but lovely show for you guys who like the kind of tropes in Dynamite Kiss. It’s too bad this one took a nosedive 😔
I was happy when they actually met but I ended up crying after they met 😭MuMu have the right to get mad after…
I hope she makes him grovel a bit. She sought him out in Thailand and repeatedly went against her parent’s wishes to be with him. She has shown time and time again that she can make decisions for herself, even at the risk of being seen as “inappropriate”. She has been nothing but steadfast, faithful and understanding towards him - and she was even unwavering when she saw him with that blond girl while working undercover… She chased him for the whole show thus far. She deserves to be chased back.
Ok, am I missing something?ML gets into a serious accident, with his leg threatened to be amputated.He can't walk,…
A lot of people have commented on how the editing is sloppy with the last half of the show so far. Most people have similar questions, and some chalk it up to him muscling through it or something idk 🤷🏼♀️
honestly a misunderstanding is what he deserves after all he put her through. did he ever wonder if she'd want…
Yeah I get it. I also think the more time lapses after a lie the harder and harder it gets to tell the truth. I hope that we get to see him chasing her for a bit, and that she makes him work a little to get back on her good graces.
So I think the editing issues are becoming more noticeable to me. Like I just finished 17 and started 18. It was a bit weird having the FL “stay the night with him”, have a conversation with the ML and then it immediately cuts to the ML finding Sanlai to chat when he was fishing… Did he just leave Mu alone at the garage? Like there was no transition from the conversation with the leads to the conversation with Sanlai and Zhao when fishing. The other strange one was at the end of 17 and into 18. Again, it looked like the MC was having their open conversation at night… 18 shifts to it being in broad daylight when the FL returns home… and then it cuts right after that to her running back to the garage at NIGHT in the same clothes to share her idea with the ML… the ML was like, “didn’t I just send you home?” Am I crazy? lol. I mean it’s not ruining anything for me, but it’s definitely noticeable.
