Someone needs to deliver gmmtv from the hell of "happy endings". The possibilities if the leads didn't…
That fight was so badly handled I wanted to tear out my hair. And I'm bald. It would have made more sense if they were letting out all the frustration of their toxic friendship but they had to add dialogue and make it about a love interest. WHY?????
And Jira is written as a terrible friend my goodness. Ing basically exists to talk him off the ledge about some foolishness he's up to. Was there a scene with the both of them where it wasn't about him? She has a fucking friend but she had to go to the bar to talk to someone about her work worries? I know someone like Jira irl and they have managed to run off most of the people who care about them because it gets too much and you just end up loving them from a distance.
Also, when you reject someone, shouldn't they get some breathing space to deal with their feelings and get over you before you force friendship on them and start asking them to do things for you? Like WTF?
Pheem might have been a fuckboi but we didn't see him hurt anybody. The other two on the other hand? ugh.
Final thoughts - had great promise. Did not deliver. They tried to do something with AI vs art but it did not quite land. Still going to give it an above average rating just because I enjoyed a lot of it minus my critique.
Someone needs to deliver gmmtv from the hell of "happy endings". The possibilities if the leads didn't have to end up with each other? Endless and a lot more interesting.
Enjoyed this for the most part. Loved the leads. Did not see the killer coming. Unsatisfied by the redemption arc for the mother. When will a kdrama give a terrible parent the ending they actually deserve?
Same old “human vs. science” debate, when in reality, neither can exist without the other. Science isn’t…
The narrative of AI superiority is being pushed by businessmen trying to make a buck. None of the arguments I have seen hold up. I've been told my skills will become obsolete but I am commanding higher fees than ever before because people are actually willing to pay more for the human touch even though there are countless AI tools that can supposedly do what I do better than me. It's a joke.
Look around the world. Human judgement is in the pits. Thankfully there is resistance and maybe one day soon we'll see real progress.
Say anything about this story but the chemistry between the leads? Goodness. The absence of a long NC scene doesn't bother me in the least cos just having those two onscreen is so satisfying to watch.
She did get medical help. The psychiatrist and neurologist sent her to each other so there was no clear path in…
I was responding to the "needs help" part of your comment. And the ML insisted she go see a doctor as well. But I see that it's a bigger issue for you than just that. Which is very valid tbh.
I remember responding to a comment asking what the two guys saw in Jira a while back. To have Koh respond the same made me pump my fist like yes! It's perfectly okay for beauty to be the main reason for attraction and I like that the writers didn't shy away from saying it.
So i liked the drama. 7/10, nothing really special to me, but still great HOWEVER one thing keeps bothering me…
She did get medical help. The psychiatrist and neurologist sent her to each other so there was no clear path in the beginning. Plus she most likely got the sleeping meds she spiked the ML's drink with from one of them (those were prescription only meds). And that final scene with the psychiatrist didn't sound like a first visit.
Such a good watch. The actors did their characters justice. The leads had such a warm chemistry despite the chaotic nature of their relationship. Loved the second couple as well unexpected as their story was. Only belief I couldn't suspend was not Mu-hee and Hiro not using a translation app when an interpreter was absent. It allowed the plot progress but it was kind of silly and could have been better handled.
The question of mental health was handled pretty well even though certain liberties were taken for creativity sake. It is for entertainment at the end of the day.
Kim Seon-ho should keep doing romance projects. He has that sweet butter-melting gaze, and those dimples. Perfect romance male lead. Kind of funny how ambivalent I've been about Go Youn-jong despite seeing almost everything she's been in. I think this drama has tipped me into being a fan. There is a certain freshness she brings to every role. She's similar to Choi Woo-shik in the sense of taking roles that don't require too much fluctuation.
In all, very worth the hours spent binge watching.
Small detail but the scene with Hiro and his niece when he said "kissing" and the 5yo didn't react I felt like the writers dropped the ball. Redeemed themselves a few seconds later.
Just started ep 4 and I get the feeling I'm not going to stop until the end. This is really good. I went in blind after watching the leads interview on Channel Shiboya and loved their chemistry. I have no complaints so far.
