Oh my god, if this seriously happens, then my heart will shatter into pieces.I’m expecting the curtains to fall…
Nah, I don't see a Kdrama going this unpredictable. That means our Hee Joo loves a psychopath and there goes our romance. Romance is in the tags, so... I think Sa Eon is a good hearted dude. And I think it's still very much up for debate that people have "psycopathic" genes that they "pass on." They can use that talk in a Kdrama when they want to but it will never apply to the ML unless it's a pure thriller like Mouse. So, I'm gonna say no.
But you worked out some fun, imaginative possibilities. 😉
1. It's a good drama, and Lee Seungi Gi (there's never been a drama I've seen him in where I thought he did poorly, he always brings a great performance) and Suzy are great leads (I thought). The beginning is heartbreaking, as the child actor for the nephew is fire and really sells it, but I personally thought the ending (not the cliffhanger part, the end of the main conflict that happens before the cliffhanger part) got a bit over-the-top and so unrealistic I felt it got borderline silly, but overall I thought it was an enjoyable drama!
2. (a) Yes, from what I remember, but there's no spoken confession or declaration, and the cliffhanger part implies there was more going on eith them, but instead of any closure you just have more questions, and then it just ends. Honestly, once it shifts back to the middle east and the main conflict is over (the "cliffhanger" part is probably the last 5 minutes of the last episode for the entire drama), you can just end it there and you won't miss a thing. If they come out with a second season you can go back and watch it 😅). (b) Just the nephew, I think. If any others die they must not have been super memorable because I don't remember.
3. Together-ish? Certainly not if you count the cliffhanger part; throughout the drama the romance is not made super obvious and is slight. The leads make a great team and it definitely shows them growing in trust and getting closer, but actual romance is more implied than overt.
right now, I really don't know which part is the FLs dream and reality, and which part is the MLs dream and reality!…
When you see the calendar on the wall that says February 13th, when it changes to the 14th, that's where Jae Chan's dream starts. His dream ends when you see Jae Chan wake up, spooked, after he fails to save Hong Joo from falling off the hospital roof. Everything that happens after he wakes up is happening in real time/the main storyline.
But because you don't know Jae Chan has dreams yet you don't realize it's his whole dream sequence until later. It's also much longer than most of Hong Joo's dreams, which threw me off the first time I watched.
THIS!!!! He should have been scarred for life, like the real SaEon.
And Hee Joo should have had a ton of broken bones and far worse cuts, bruises and wounds from that cliff fall... but it's a Kdrama, so... we've got to suspend disbelief. 🙄
you're not the only one. I too find the initial sexual tension between the main couple in the first 6 episodes…
Oh, yes, Kdramas can do romantic tension quite well (Cdramas can, too). I wonder if it's largely successful because there's so much sexual restraint in (traditional) dramas. And there's so much buildup due to all the stuff the leads have to work through in a melo or romance drama that grows the tension nicely into a fevered pitch. Also, the romance genre bakes it into the drama formula and if the leads execute their parts well and they have a decent script, it makes for a satisfying watch, even despite the over-the-top, unrealistic scenarios! 😅
The real test of a good romantic Kdrama, in my opinion, is if they can stick the landing in the second half, AFTER the leads get together. It's rarely done. 😢
She will be better, but She has a few screen time, this is about the journey of ML… so don’t mind FL
Ah, okay! I think Ruo Ruo is adorable. So far I can't figure out what I think of the Princess Royal or even the king. I can't tell if I can root for them or not yet. And the king feels more like a scheming minister than a king so far! 😅 He's quite slippery.
I also enjoyed watching him win his stepmother over. ☺️ She responded warmly to her son being advocated for by him instead of seeing what she expected: Fan Xian angling to be in his father's good graces and winning his favor over Si Zhe.
Do you know, is Ruo Ruo Fan Xian's half-sister, too? She seems to be Fan Xian's sister, but they don't have the same mother and she's not the daughter of Si Zhe's mom, either.
