I feel like I've experienced what selective amnesia or Alzheimer's would be like. I could detect many individual pieces eg. multiple personas, but with a high degree of frustration I couldn't see how all the pieces fit together to make a cohesive story. An ambitious movie that could really have been something special if done right.
KSH's acting in this made me appreciate his skills even more! Spoiler question above.
Liked or disliked is a different question than disappointed or not. Disappointed to me means it still had something to like about it, but the expectations put on it (individually or by others) didn't come to fruition.
Out of the [75] listed here:
--- [26] made it to my PTW list ---[2] Unwatched to date (Moving & Destined with You) - on the fence about watching ---[1] dropped (Bo Ra Deborah - wasn't enjoying it) ---[3] disliked (Bo Rah Deborah & Mask Girl - wasn't my cup of tea & Crash Course Romance) ---[3] my disappointments (Doona, My Blooming Youth, Mask Girl) ---[2] good surprises (My Dearest, Twinkling Watermelon) ---[25] glad I watched - likable ---[1] add to list: Love of Replica - Mysterious Love was so good, but this sequel...)
PS. I saw Somebody Someday first then A Time Called You, both have their charms. Enjoyed your list.
Picked this up as a filler waiting for other newer dramas on Netflix to finish up so I can binge them. I was pleasantly surprised with this one. Maybe my expectations were low? I would recommend as a one-time watch for sure.
With so many historical dramas that came out recently that were just meh (after my high expectations for them), I was afraid to start this drama. It is a pleasant surprise that this one meets & maybe exceeds my expectations. Really looking forward to part 2.
It's interesting that Do Young wouldn't let the Jeon brothers switch (aka choose their fate) but when it came down to the last 2 strings; him & new dad, Yeong Woo he said "not that one" directing him to pick the longer string and Yeong Woo had to remind him of the no switching strings rule (aka choosing your fate).
Really enjoyed this list. It forced me to try & remember all their endings (which at my age is a real exercise)
It would be interesting to list the reasons why a drama is considered to have the worst ending ever by each voter (since there are many good reasons) / total how many votes each drama gets & add to your description section. It could almost be turned into a game - watch the dramas on this list & match them up to the correct worst ending reason.
I would add: The last Empress (All I have to say... ML2... sorry... Zombie Detective doesn't fix it) Parfait Tic (I still feel the frustration from this one's ending) She Was Pretty (ML vs ML2 choice) ? Hotel De Luna (An unfulfilled sequel hint ending)
When pleading for Woo Joo's life FL says to Grim Reaper to tell the boss "Tell him I know what you did." What did the father of the truck driver do? (Reaper dad was in the car w/ his son @ the time of the accident, what did that mean?)
Why can't FL forgive the driver who caused her death or is the fire station donation at the end to show she has? (her angry attitude / spitefulness towards apologetic driver caught me by surprise/seemed out of her character)
Go Soo's acting & his long-haired look appealed to me even more in season 2 plus the stories plus the characters plus etc, etc,. This better not be like Hotel Del Luna ..... with a big-name actor teasing us with a sequel .....& then the waiting abyss.
