i can't articulate when or what, but the changes they made to this drama were great. some stuff was moved around…
Excellent blow-by-blow analysis. All the reasons why I loved this one best, too (even though BOFs has a special place in my heart as my first version, and that iconic kiss on the tarmac with the sun setting in the Japanese version was pretty perfect and probably the best BOFs kiss of any version). 🥰
Do you at least get to the part where they accidentally sleep together? That's where the story picked up for me.…
Yeah, then the rest probably won't be interesting to you. You gave it your best shot! This is what happened to me whenever I tried to watch Psychopath Diary. 😅
Second time around trying to watch this. There’s so many good reviews but i have hard time understanding why.…
The start is a bit slow, for sure. I think it picks up after about 5 or 6 episodes since this is a slow burn romance, not one where the leads get together by Episode 8 as in a typical rom-com (more like the pacing of Dr. Romantic 1 and 2, for instance). It also leans heavily into slice of life genre, and these dramas tend to be slower.
I decided to just go ahead and watch it and I'm at episode 10 now. So far i kinda like it because i take this…
He is very cartoony, to be sure, but lovable and sweet. I think that's why I didn't mind him because he's so different from the typical toxic MLs/chaebols of this era. I eventually got used to him, haha. There's so much suspension of disbelief in this drama already that adding him to the list of things that weren't realistic wasn't too hard for me to do. 😏
.. since the writer already moved the plot to heavy melodrama territory once, I fully expect that Moeum's mom…
Thanks! I liked My Mister. It was definitely very somber and felt very heavy, so I'd never rewatch it, but I thought everyone did such a good job in it. And it's such a unique drama, and it still felt very Kdrama despite the bittersweet feel to it and the unique storytelling/themes. Maybe it's the character arcs? Watching characters transform and grow before my eyes is still my favorite thing about Kdramas. ☺️ But I can't do TOO much sad, or only in small doses.
anyone who has watched the series Circle....is this like Circle???
Yes, sort of! But I would say Miraculous Brothers is more crime and mystery and Circle is more supernatural/dystopian and futuristically trippy. They don't do a ton to develop Kang San's powers or build much of the plot around what he can do.
I started this last week and bingef till episode 10. Then I skipped a night of watching it and then I watched…
So, true, some dramas can only be finished if binged or some can only be finished if watched in bite sizes. Definitely know what you're talking about! Old dramas like this I rarely watch in their entirety. They have lots of skippable scenes.

Very few actors in old Kdramas acted like real people. It was part of their charm, I think. But they still had well-written character arcs (even if the characters themselves weren't realistic, their arcs were lovely to watch, which is still a common feature of the best Kdramas today).
I can appreciate that era for what it was, and still enjoy it even though it's very much NOT for everyone and the newer Kdramas certainly appeal to a wider audience; they're more accessible to those who require less cheesy and cringe humor to make it through. 😂

Thanks for the recommendation! One Spring Night has Son Ye Ji in it, too, yes?
And I'll admit, it's is easy to judge the way other cultures think, so I have to be careful not to forget that we've got plenty of blind spots here in the U.S., too. Things we think backwards about but don't realize it and which is deeply entrenched in our culture!

Though a widower should get a pass! With a divorcee I would understand why the family would have reservations and the person would need to be properly vetted, but why would a widower with a child be a no-no? I don't get the whole stigma against orphans in Korea either. It's not like THEY had any say in becoming an orphan. 😖
I 100% get why he bothered you, though. 😉
