I feel so bad for the team, getting everything leaked like this must be horrible. iQiYi needs to release all eps in vip at least, they cannot control international sites at all
Positives: eye candy guys, cute chemistry with all of them, Yoon in Ha, stress free, Pretty FL, good for all audiences, easy to binge watch, if you’re a fan of webtoons it’s a fun watch, lots of fan service, funny scenes
Negatives: Jisoo Kpop image is too strong It was hard to see her character different from her idol career, Seo In Guk had such a bland performance here (writers should’ve put more effort on his character). Last but most importantly, this felt like a really long commercial for some reason, maybe it gave me flashbacks of Shinee and Sandara Park’s commercial or similar ones; which tells me the director should’ve done a better job with this budget. There was a lot of empty silence, and empty scenes that could make you space out from the drama (this could’ve been 4 eps tbh)
The drama is good but Ep 1-18 is a very slow burn, I think the pace could’ve been cut short, they spend 4 episodes only avoiding each other before getting together (I get it but 4hrs of this was quite something), later on Ep 24 -28 was the big climax but it lacked action, it could’ve been more fun the way the ending wraps up but it was very cliché. Overall the main leads look good together and the CGI was well done. The FL looked awkward doing the kissing scenes but maybe she’s young, her acting other than that was very good but MLs character facial expressions were empty at times of pain or discomfort, maybe it was how it was written idk. Overall it was a 8/10 for me
omg same, every week I pray for a switch-up in the comments, giving me a reason to watch it, but it just keeps…
Same, I keep doing this with most dramas right now because I’m too busy and I only want to binge watch good stories but since many of them fall through mid airing is best to wait and see.
As an outsider coming back here and X every week to see everyone’s reaction on this show is the most entertaining thing ever. I’m sorry and thank you for keeping up with this on everyone else’s behalf
This is a good thriller, period. A few things should be later explained by the director or writer but the main reviews are too harsh on the show. Netflix standards, this is actually a very entertaining watch compare to everything they've been doing lately
Spoiler EP 32: The FL blaming him for the death of her brother didn’t make sense to me. He left her a letter explaining why he took that decision , nobody would’ve been able to stop him. Putting that responsibility in someone who her brother treated like a slave is insane. The ML suffered more than the lady who sent him to die
"interesting plot" and most of these popular romance cdramas are just super generic and tropey lmfao.…
I don’t mind tropey if is done right and the leads have chemistry; something that’s hard to find now in kdramas that tend to fall midways (Dynamite Kiss). As for Love between lines the fantasy plot is pretty cool, and the CGI is amazing.
Those are just romcoms, nothing crazy needs to happen to be good, but if you’re not into those tropes there are more cdramas like Twelve Letters or Man's Inhumanity to Man
None of them got me hooked or very interested. I’ll watch No Tail to Tell on Netflix once it finishes airing because I like Kim Hye Yoon, I’m hoping things get better once the romance starts but so far I see they have more chemistry off the show (promotions) than on the show? That’s so rare, but maybe it needs time to marinate
On the other hand Chinese Dramas started very strong: Love Between Lines, Shine on me, Speed and Love, My page in the 90s, Affinity, all have such an interesting plot and leads chemistry
Honestly I don’t get why the flaw in FL’s character is a put off for you. There’s obviously going to be…
Her character lacking morality is not new for this type of dramas, I was just annoyed when she kept helping bad people in exchange of money - which caused someone to die. Normally, I would want to see this type of character feeling guilty or rage. I probably connected the most when I saw how lonely she was.
Regarding the ML - his reaction was so random lol but I think that’s an editing problem, maybe they would show throwbacks later on from his perspective
The writers have stated the main story begins from episode 3, so the things shown in ep 1 and 2 is more of a background…
That’s an interesting way to look at it. I though her friend died due to her husband's rich family, but let’s wait and see how thats explained later on.
The ML didn’t have an impact on me just yet, I just felt pity for him the entire time but I understand where you’re coming from and I do believe they have a lot to learn from each other.
About the whole empathy thing, it’s very confusing because she’s a gumiho but she can feel all human emotions, I guess after so many years it truly lacks impact. Idk, I need to watch more episodes to like her character.
The first two episodes disappointed me badly because I love the actress and she deserve to be the center in this story but I hope the writers get better in the upcoming episodes.
- The ML was reduced to be a petty boy who got taken away his opportunities, has no parents and no real friends. We need to see more of his personality than just a guy I should feel sympathy for. I’m hoping they interact more in the upcoming episodes
- The FL moral compass is so flawed you can’t helped but be annoyed about her logic; your friend was killed by powerful people and now you’re helping the same type of people get their way? A guy d*ed and you only think about yourself? No pitty for his family or something? She’s a “sly bratty creature”, I get it but you cannot make a character lack so much empathy so soon. Before you show me her flaws I need to root for her as well
I’ll continue watching, I think next couple episodes look more fun but I honestly think the target demographic for this drama are probably young adults, and kids. The drama doesn’t take itself very seriously and the comedy is the standpoint
I loved his acting in Speed of Love! I wish him the best in future projects. His agency should do a better job and sue hate comments, so many weird accounts circulating rumors, my only guess is that he’s getting eyed by many good projects now. I hope he does well!
