Such a good drama! While I can't say I disregarded the experiences of the differently abled before, this really opened my eyes to the challenges they go through, though not everyone is as "lucky" as Ayukawa or have such a great support network.
Although I wasn't sold on the chemistry between the leads, their acting was solid, as was that of most of the cast. ML really got into the skin of the character, making us empathize with Ayukawa's pain. FL also did a great job portraying a woman who would do anything for her love, including giving him space and freedom as a person with his own agency. The sister, Haruto and the friend effectively did their roles, too.
The love story was inspiring and just wholesome tbh. The themes of always supporting and giving aid to disabled people when they need it but also letting them manage on their own and not letting them feel like burdens, smothering someone with love vs giving them space to grow, what support and care looks like in healthy relationship were all well done. And I loved how all of Ayukawa and Haruto's friends and coworkers were always caring and supportive.
I would give this a 8.9/10. A very inspiring story of a man who finds the strength to go on after a tragic accident and the woman who is always there for him.
If you are interested in crime, thriller, mystery genres than Cdramas are killing it recently. Check out "The Bad Kids" and "Kidnapping Game" - the latter has romance as well, if that's your thing.
Much like "The Bad Kids", this is one of the best recent Chinese dramas I've watched. it started off a little…
Only thing that bothered me was that we never get to know what happens to our star-crossed lovers or even if Tian Peng gets punished for his crimes. Obviously Yu Hai and Shen Yun are gonna face some sort of penalty, but it would have been good if we got some closure. Did she get a reduced sentence? Did they end up together? etc.
Much like "The Bad Kids", this is one of the best recent Chinese dramas I've watched. it started off a little bit slow and complicated but once the plot hit its stride from episode 2 onwards, it was such an addicting and enjoyable watch. The story is interesting, extremely well written and you never know what happens next, with little to no plot holes. The characters were brilliantly realized and acted - as a previous commenter noted, the chemistry between Gina Jin and Zhu Ya Wen was amazing; tbh, all the actors did their roles well. I would 100% recommend this drama if you're into crime, thriller, detective and whodunnit genres. Fair bit of romance too. 9.5/10 from me (why is the rating on MDL so low?)
What an amazing show! One of the best Chinese dramas I've ever seen. The story is amazing and all the actors did an excellent job, especially the child actors. Please give this a watch if you're into slickly produced, well written family/crime dramas. 9.5/10.
brilliant drama, well-acted well-written and well-filmed. I cant't believe it almost went under my radar due to…
I'm on episode 6 and it's so good. I just wish there was a site I could watch it on with subs from aside from iQiyi. And yeah, I think there is an English translation of the novel, I just can't find it anywhere online.
All I will say is that this is the best Korean drama I have seen, no other will come close. The plot was airtight, logical, well written and never dragged for a second. Every actor did an amazing job. Even the OST slaps. I can write an essay on all the characters and the themes but for now... a solid 10/10.
I can't recommend this show enough. Started watching a way to pass the time but it was so good, me and my entire family binged in a couple of weeks (even my mom, who hates war movies). Every actor did their role well, the storyline was engaging - none of the 32 episodes dragged. Even minor side characters felt like real people. 9.0/10.
