It wasn't a butthurt comment though. It was a tongue-in-cheek as the comment was funny because s/he dislikes this but is still torturing themselves by watching this as if someone's forcing them to. I found it funny 🤷🤷

They had a happy ending!

And it ends! What a nice, calming, family show as a whole. My first asadora and I wasn't disappointed i the least. Will definitely look forward to more dramas in this format from now on.

Ty for the subs <3

1/10.

Fuck that ending. I'm so pissed over this ending that I'm not giving this a rating higher than 1 for now. Maybe in retrospect I'll change it, but fuck this ending.

HDL is more Fantasy than Horror tbh it's a fantastical supernatural romance.

I'd add Priest to this list as well. A fantastic horror drama.

It's a slow burn. If you're into roller coaster, angsty type of shows, it's not for you. If you like calming, shows that develops slowly, defo watch it. Don't pay heeds to the hate comments, most of it is blown out of proportions.

As a fan of European cinema, where most movies are imagery driven rather than line driven, I'm loving this style honestly. Also I'm a sucker for slow burn (with some of my fave TV series being HBO slow burns like Sharp Object). I hope more BLs take a more cinematic approach in their direction rather than the mediocrity we've been seeing for years now.

I'm so sorry someone put a gun to your head to force you to undergo such trial :'(

It's a controversial topic still. Autumn in My Heart despite its super high viewership was a very controversial drama in its time. The mindsets have changed in the last 2 decades but not by much. From what I've seen, romances between siblings (whether adopted or step) is still frowned upon there.

Noted. I'd recommend watching it, Autumn in My Heart and Winter Sonata are the two dramas that initiated the Hallyu wave and established the Kmelodrama genre. Autumn also started Song Seung Hoon, Won Bin, Song Hye Kyo, Moon Geun Young, and Han Chae Young's careers.

Agreed.

I don't blame them, the show has a lot of subtext, and hints at attraction between Derek and Casey lmao I'd bet my life that if it wasn't a Family Channel/Disney show, they'd have hooked up.

One of the best movie adaptation of a Shonen manga tbh very faithful to the source, great CGI and the actors suit the role very well. Fukushi Sota makes an excellent Ichigo, could not have chosen a more suitable actor for that role and Hana was a great Rukia as well. I was skeptical of her casting before watching this movie, but colour me surprised and thoroughly impressed.

That's why I said "so far" and didn't rate the drama. I didn't say the script isn't substantial, read again. I said acting cannot carry a drama without a substantial script, it was a statement not a criticism of the screenplay. The story so far is less than promising in my view, but I'll wait till mid-way through to rate the drama.

All of the hairstyles in BoF hurts my eyes except Kim So Eun. Hers is the least offensive.

Step-sibling romance is not problematic imo And neither is adopted sibling romance.

Also how can you forget putting one of the most controversial adoptive sibling romance ever in a Kdrama - Autumn in My Heart. In that drama the ML and FL basically grow up considering each others as blood related sibling till their teens but fall in love as adult after being separated.

Sure. Let's set-up a meeting right after the finale if it goes becomes the otherwise.

+1 to the analysis. Agreed fully. Also how the drama showcases the grandma as a strong, fully independent woman despite being in her late 70s (?). It subverts tropes we usually see in Kdramas. Which is a huge plus imo

Also it subverts the typical 2nd FL trope as well where the SFL in JBL is a genuinely nice woman who lacks any ill intention towards the FL and is a genuine friend toward the ML despite the disparity in wealth and circumstance.

The CGI is a huge turn off. It's supposed to be a big budget drama, where tf did all the money go then?? The writing so far has been less than impressive as well, acting alone cannot carry the drama without a substantial script. High 7s is being generous, I'd rate this the first two episodes just 6/10.
