I'm watching this rn and both the main leads did a fantastic job- I recognise the ML from other dramas, but the fact the FL is a newer actress is surprising. At first I was so charmed by how well she acted cat-like in the early episodes but beyond that she's great at the more emotional stuff too. (Also this is the first cat-in-human-form drama that's actually pulled it off for me)
Zhai Xiao Wen is great as Li Bing- I'm only 10 eps in and the character is very quiet but I feel like I read 1000 feelings on his face! The actor was so cute and bubbly in Sweet Teeth before so I look forward to him in future roles.
This is such a cute little show, with good characters, and well-casted!
So pleasantly surprised that for once the cheesy "Dating coach" in a drama actually gave *some* good advice (don't draw conclusions, listening is most important etc).
Uh-oh poor Hari in the preview for ep 5 lol! I was sure he clocked her identity after her caller song + the behind the scenes clip, I thought he was just humouring her!
I never watch a drama while it's airing but I just couldn't hold back and I am tuning in- hopefully this will be my weekly shot of silly romcom serotonin each week
I want to start watching this but 40 episodes!? The perfect number of eps to keep good pacing for a show like this is usually 22-26 max. I usually wait for all eps to be out before starting but maybe I'll start watching soon because I never really care for the latter episodes when dramas are this long regardless
Wow I didn't connect with Shin Hye Sun at all in 30 but 17, which actually made me put this drama aside for years but now that I've watched it, she's actually brilliant in it.
I'm trying to decide whether this drama will suit my current mood- as it's about exes I expected it would be kind of angsty with frustrating misunderstandings and fighting, but people are calling it a healing drama. Can I ask what's the general vibe? Warm + Cozy slice of life, dramatic ups and downs, or slower and a bit sad?
I feel like Liu Jing and Song Chao are a better fit ultimately because Shan Mu is in a different stage of life than Liu Jing- he's established and settled, and doesn't really turn to her for help. On the other hand Liu Jing and Song Chao share worries and vulnerabilities with each other comfortably. I'd love a season two to see more from all of them.
Can anyone recommend to me any similar Jdramas to this? This is the first jdrama I've seen that I'm actually enjoying (I think because of the uniqueness/ quirkiness of the characters and how it doesn't take itself too seriously.)
I also love Suk Hyung's big picture plan with the US thing - I'm guessing he's letting his mom think he has one foot out of the country but is choosing to stay for Min Ha so that she'll be nice to her lol
I know the poor dear had no clue his ex was cheating, but Erqiang better slow his roll and get a paternity test before anything gets out of hand or anyone gets uneccessarily worried. Erqiang and co are my fav little family.
Simei is making me so angry in Ep 30 that if she was my own sister I'd have slapped her at least once to try to knock some sense into her. Risking herself needlessly by going to a SARS infected hospital to accompany that cheating scum sad excuse for a husband (who got sick because he was visiting his mistress) knowing full well she could be potentially leaving behind her young daughter? Baffling and so beyond selfish. I can't believe she has the gall to look her siblings in the eye after borrowing money from them to pay compensation on his behalf, because he hasn't been able to keep it in his pants for years.
This show is the opposite of healing drama. It's just full of bad decisions by decent people (Yicheng), or awful behaviour by awful people (Sanli's MIL, the siblings' father), and stressful + unfortunate things happening to good people (all of the bad situations forced upon our siblings). Sure the underlying bonds are heart warming but ... it makes me tired!
The sheer scuminess of the father aswell as Yicheng's bad choices are making this hard to watch. It's clearly a good drama as it makes me care this much about the characters but I might have to take a short break!
"Yes!"
The way Sejeong said "yes" in that scene was so cute I replayed it over and over.
