RURU

when should we expect the truth bomb? cz i can't take anymore of the ml being a sweet and loyal husband when this has all been an act (on both their sides) so i need it all out in the open already so the angst can start and the lies stop

nope they butchered usagi's morality scale big time. i was even rooting for their survival only for arisu to dump her ass the moment she woke up (the fact that she didnt lose the baby was so unrealistic cz pregnancy that early is risky enough let alone a suicide attempt). also her emotional affair? yes her father's suicide affected her but trying to die with SOMEONE ELSE is next level, he even said " i thought we were alike and wanted the same thing- to die" while literally trying to survive the games, hypocrites much? defending that manipulative asshole in front of others is one thing but infront of arisu? That man cheated death for her and that's his treatment? sorry their reunion pissed me off cz i needed him to guilt trip her a bit (just be less of a green flag for a moment) while informing her of her pregnancy cz the moment she pushed arisu away from the wheelchair guy (he deserves no name for putting them in this situation just cz he listened to a stranger so he can get an in to the games then procedes to try to survive- just die already, wasnt that what u wanted? why fall for someone and come between the leads?) i stopped rooting for that relationship. the worst thing was how he needed to tell her "i'm never leaving you usagi" to reassure her when SHE NEEDED TO GROVEL or just be the more apologitic of the 2, not him. yes she was battling depression and yes she does not need to apologize for confiding in a psychologist for that but the moment she tried to survive the games and got her will back (pretty fast if u ask me) and regretted her decision, a sorry arisu was not enough. she was acting like buisness as usual towards arisu and i didn't like it. I preferred her season 1 and 2

the first time travel drama to end with a snipet of their life post reunion! not just staring at one another with a smile. AND I"M LOVING IT. only comment tho is the cringe joseon accent in modern setting but they wanted us to know it's the king. still the dialogue was giving me goosebumps.

yes which is why he is portrayed as bad for the ML of both sequels yet no understanding towards him till the end. that's what's sad. i hope the final installment (modern time ) will show that side of him but as far as i know he is still misunderstood by his son (he actually does shitty actions) and nothing is addressed after their memories returned so it is a sad ending for the prequel's leads

this is so sad, keyain is proof why middle child syndrome is so real

i hate what's become of the father considering he was such an advocate of peace and a loving husband. i guess being the only one left changes a person but i hope the ML gets a glimpse to his father's past or just ends up understanding him by the end cz it would be sad if he's the villain to both the ML and his cousin (that would make the prequel a sad ending) at least i would love a happy ending for all in the modern world

anyone else cringed out with the kaiyan's voice and dialogue? sorry i just can't hear him acting young without cringing out. especially as the seond brother and not eldest. they should've switched but i guess he'd then be underpaid since the second brother has a more villainous role. still this is just wrong. his scenes with his family are just too uncomfortable

ok the brothers need to die, sorry they deserve zero redemption. what kind of hypocrisy is this? they almost brought a worse wolf in sheep's clothing than LCF and they blame their brother? who sacrificed his life to prove he was right and was not the only one deceived by LCF. "from now on u're not my brother"? sure, he's better off not having you as a brother or even an ally, u'd cause his death. they both have zero skills in leadership and loyalty. ZERO . it's so sad ppl like them exist irl

since this guy is not worth rooting for and the ML's group isn't as reliable (kinda feel like side kicks rather than equals), does the ML at least get an equal to confide in later on? maybe his FL? thought it would be LSF but he's borderline down a dark path so i hope ML has someone

I'm scared to start this cz i know chinese transmigration dramas always end with a return to the modern world without the new relationships and memories being there so he's the only one remembering and maybe his love interest but this drama seems to focus on the friendship so not having that at the end either would just be sad

And you base this on what? fake news? please do not comment on a country not yours unless you specify (like the government is shit or their humor ) but do not say iraq/ korea as a whole is shit like a troll. we're an intellectual species so say something useful and not baseless comments that do not affect anyone but yourself.

no need to insult the whole korean population but you're right about them showing arabs in a bad light all the time. This is a political drama tho so to generate drama they need to show the bad parts of each country and the protagonist as the only righteous hero (it'd be nice if she has foreign allies here since they seem to be recruiting foreign actors) so it's a balance rather than only south korea being righteous.

2nd? shouldn't it be the first or that person is a lead as another role but not romantically?

no matter how shitty a script can be please comment on the writer's skills or on what went wrong and not crude remarks like these. Do you feel better telling someone to kill him/herself? it's simply childish cz it shows how little you know of the power words hold.

hi, this is zero romance right? is there no romantic tension or chemistry with a female lead at all? i don't mind if it's a shounen but i hope there is some sparks with someone or having a friend group so he's not alone all the time (u can grow stronger and not be alone).

And hopefully it's toward a female lead and not another drama where the bromance is hella sus just cz they don't want to air a bl/ either make it a bl or a straight drama without confusion (worst of all not something like fangs of fortune where the chemistry with the bromance was so good and sus that the fl (his so called love) was more of a support in the story)

honestly i'm considering this as a standalone and an original story with adult characters who have a past that is a mystery but would be nice to know. Why u might ask? cz this was properly done ; it had evolution to characters, a possible romance without stringing both characters along; a freindship for ALL characters and not weirdly distant on a deeper level; and a realistic if not open ending for possibilities; and a realistic approach to teenage problems and parental relationship dynamic (not over dramatic, evil, nor overly suppostive, just real)
I honestly never could fully like chihaya as a character outside her passion for karuta and skills. It always felt like she was too focused on arata and confused the heck out of taichi cz her actions show romantic interest in arata that her ending up with taichi was so shocking to him tho she cared for him. Even arata was a bit shocked. So romance was bad, friendship wise; she wasnt on the same wavelength as the rest so it never felt deep (seems to be in this sequel too). She's just a peculiar character that had no real depth other than karuta and becoming queen and the rest felt like background characters who got some substance then forgotten about to boost chihaya's growth.

Am i the only one who liked her old hair? She could still have her transformation with curly hair (not frizzled). The new one felt like a wig and kinda bulgy when viewing her side profile.

that's not even redemption tho cz he never regretted anything nor sees the fault in what he did and her tears was just pissing us off more than feeling sorry for the guy. She never even gets to find out anything he did; just thinks he helped out the guy at the end cz of him being lied to about being the founder so it's not even satisfying when she was disappointed. he was aiding in the fire years ago, resurrected the rat lord after the first defeat, aided him again causing the black snake's death, killed lots of demons to form a core for her, and so much more stuff she and everyone else don't know about (which if she did not a single tear would've rolled for this guy) so his suicide was just sooooo very horribly bad writing; just bad

the weird thing is him never knowing about his dad and never explaining what actually happened to the mother cz it's not by fire

the rest of the ending is post credits btw
kinda stupid cz many will miss it and literally a continuation so why not just say epilogue and put it rather than post. credits but whatever
