omg what an AMAZING drama!! so so underrated! why haven't more people watched this pls?! the plot, the acting, characters, heck even the coloring and setting of the drama - just perfect. the friendship and parental relationships are the best parts of the drama imo. expect tears throughout; alternating between that of sadness and happiness. the acting is faultless. it's raw, heartbreaking yet heartwarming, bittersweet yet beautiful. it's perfect.
the sword fights are so good!! great choreography and direction
first two episodes in and I have really enjoyed both. good mix of mystery, politics and humour. the color grading matches the moods well haha. i love the FL already. Shin ey eun is an effortlessly talented actress. Lee Seol is the big mystery.
I think she is a decent person, when she isn’t completely stressed out by her mom and the competitiveness.
yes but we got to see none of that. she just had development offscreen. him being a good friend to her during her problems would have been nice to see.
now to complain, once again kdrama writers, a happy ending doesn't necessarily mean pairing up everyone and glossing over all the problems with a neat little time skip where everyone's new and good and rays of sunshine. it makes it a tinge unsatisfactory. geon hu didn't necessarily have to be paired to give him a happy ending for instance. best part of it all was CCY & NHS relationship and scenes. they were my happy pill❤️
OMG MY PARENTS ARE GETTING MARRIED 😭🥺❤️ I love them so much. no matter the minor faults of the drama, CCY and NHS made us happy every weekend. they are a joy. what a cute ending!
also where tf did the detectives disappear to? one call to CCY and that's it? why did we get so many episodes of them investigating it and putting the pieces together, the chief remembering his face, flashbacks to the old case ALL OF THAT, if the only use you found for them in the end was to make a call to ccy to inform him something he already knew? unbelievable.
Yeah no way I'm not dropping my rating after this episode. I just can't frikking believe the start of this epi?? like you gave so much importance to the whole metal ball shooter thing and showed a heap of flashbacks and gave TOO much screentime to Dong Hui & his sis, and this is how you end it??! some crap floating in the water flashback cgi and a "this is how it ends." ?! what in the world. where is the resolution, the explanation, the talk, the punishment, the repentance.
sure, make him k word himself and take the easy writing route out. FINE. but give me a climax that's worthy of all the hours spend on this character. two great actors and they couldn't give us a more emotional, powerful and impactful scene that could have driven home whatever message they wanted to give instead of a stupid voice over repeating it! so so disappointed.
enjoyable & light, cute drama overall. just dragged a lot after ep10. could have wrapped it all up in 10/12eps honestly. with 16 they had to include a lot of filler scenes. but I wonder what actually happened to the crazy lady? I thought her track was only getting started, but she vanished just like that. also no more mention of the ex manager either.
throughout this ep, all I wanted to do was give each of these kids a tight, reassuring, beary hug. the strength it must take to be a student, to go through all that, and survive. also, thanks to geon hu for being the sunshine in these dark, dreary times. the way he helped sunjae 🥺
There are some loose ends (stalker girl remains unaccounted for) which might be addressed by the end. For me it's…
oh same, this is me. I wish I don't figure these things out too so I can act as shocked as the characters 😂 I have been reading a lot of posts since the start on twitter and reddit, and someone figured it out the first ep, which is crazy to me. kudos to them cuz I dismissed that theory initially. Ig it's still fun to watch others who were in denial come to terms with the reveal haha.
We all hate Mr Ji and his actions, but admit it, we all cheered when he killed his b*tch mother
omg his mom throwing that glass of water at him shocked me. literally gasped as I didn't expect that extent of abuse. can't even blame the kid for turning out the way he did. he never got the help and care he needed.
i think the eventual appearance of hae-e's biological mother was necessary to finally and truly define what their…
exactly. the story started from her being abandoned. the story has to end with her finding her real family, or realising she has always had them. her trauma from being an abandoned child was an important plot point.
I don't really think bringing Hea Yi biological mother was necessary cause now it feels like the show is dealing…
but i think it's a point that needs to be addressed too. the story started from her being abandoned at her grandmother's shop. also probably a way to make haeyi stand up to her and move on from her original trauma of being an abandoned child. the whys and what nots.
sure, make him k word himself and take the easy writing route out. FINE. but give me a climax that's worthy of all the hours spend on this character. two great actors and they couldn't give us a more emotional, powerful and impactful scene that could have driven home whatever message they wanted to give instead of a stupid voice over repeating it! so so disappointed.
