they tried to make it westernized i was confused to why they where playing American football and not Soccer which…
Yeah, I did not expect to see American football! Is that a thing in Korea? I imagine not. Football only works if you're big and burly, and also, why would a bunch of high profile high schoolers even play football if there's nothing for it to feed into? Seems like a sport that would take you nowhere if pursued in Korea...
I am on episode 4 and WHERE IS THE PLOT PROGRESSION WHERE?????? ISTG IF I GET SHOWN THE SAME FLASGBACK OR THE…
It's like the action movies that forget that they can't keep the audience entertained merely by blowing things up constantly. You've got to make us care!
I stopped watching thai dramas coz they were full of infidelity and worse. Cheaters were rewarded, criminals got…
I've only watched one Thai drama (F4: Thailand: Boys Over Flowers), and while I really liked it, I don't really have a desire to see any more since, since in addition to what you mentioned, many Thai dramas are BL and BL is not my thing. Haven't jived with Jdramas either. 🤷♀️ They seem very much like an acquired taste!
WHAT AN EXCELLENT LAST EP. 👏And the last OST released Park Eun Bin - "Fly Away", perfectly ties not only into…
Yes, a beautiful, thematic drama! This screenwriter has leaned more into the thematic approach in more recent dramas, and it's rare with Kdramas so I love it in this one!
Probably the drama with the best OST at least for me. The 7th episode make me feel the feeling Moh-ka told Ki-ho…
The 7th Episode and the 1st Episode were the favorites when it was airing. Episode 11 (love the Givers vs. Takers theme woven in that episode with the beautiful "Like Today Is Our Last Day" in honor of Ran Joo's mom) and 5 were my runners up. Such a lovely, poignant drama!
Moon Woo Jin is completely unrecognizable with this haircut. He looks so grown up. I had to look him up when i…
Yeah, he's making waves as a teenage actor (he was adorable as a kid, but is leaving cuteness behind to enter heart-throb territory now ☺️). Another Yeo Jin Goo, I think!
I feel like you can only read timed comments if you know Korean. 😆 I tried once but I kept having to rewind…
Yes, I do, and I feel like I used to be able to download fine, and now I struggle, for some reason. Gonna keep fiddling with it! Thanks for the suggestions, though. :)
I’m glad to hear LR ended up bringing TVING so much streaming success by not being on Netflix. I know many are…
I feel like you can only read timed comments if you know Korean. 😆 I tried once but I kept having to rewind because I couldn't read two separate pieces of text at once. 😅 But yes, I like Viki. I just can't download episodes for plane rides (my only gripe), which is easy with Netflix. 🥺 I also think Viki subs tend to be more accurate.
Very heated back and forth convos between users that always descended into derogatory labeling and name-calling battles as well as competitons for who can say the cleverest mean thing to (or about) someone who strongly disagrees with them and/or is rude to them.
Episode 8 was actually lovely, but oh so sad. Poor Yoon Bok! (Myung Soo rocked it in Episode 8).
Overall, this drama is definitely underdeveloped and a bit surface-y (reminded me of Love Revolution with Park Ji Hoon or Secret Romantic Guesthouse, where things (like characters and the plot) don't feel properly fleshed out), despite having some unique elements and premise. Still an interesting watch, but certainly no masterpiece.
Anyone else think the epilogue was a bit weird and random? 😂
I really hope that scene from ep 1 is a misunderstanding. I'm up to ep 6 and can't see any romantic feelings from…
I don't think he thinks/realizes he likes the FL. I wonder if the 2nd half will develop his side? He certainly respects and admires the FL a great deal, but before he can like her in a romantic way he needs to accept her as his equal. The age gap/previous student-teacher relationship, in addition to the cultural gap that needs bridging between them makes their dynamic even trickier. Curious if they'll pull it off!
Both ML and FL have a very earnest, cheery way of approaching the world, and are very optimistic people, so I think they suit each other in that sense.
The FL robot movements are too flexible and natural, should be stiffer. How come a smart person like ML can't…
Cause it's a fluffy rom-com and requires massive amounts of suspension of disbelief! 😂
I will add this, though; the ML is convinced he is unable to touch humans without having a visceral reaction, so when he touches the "robot" FL and has no reaction, this just reinforces that she is a robot since if she were human, he believes he would have had a reaction to touching her. He doesn't realize until later that his condition is psychosomatic, so when he interacts with her reaction-free, this is ironclad proof for him that she's a robot. All that to say, he had some mental and psychological hurdles that kept him from making sensible, logical deductions about the FL, if that helps.
