When someone is determined to die, there is nothing anyone can do about it. He was too young and unprepared to deal with all that guilt and pain. Imagine having your entire adulthood formed around such a tragic event. He didn't stand a chance. Four years of such deep-seated pain and guilt. He was literally just counting the days. If the others had stopped it this time, he would have just found another time. At least he left on his own terms in a place he loved.
Just saw the teaser for Mousetrap and came here to say this is one talented actor. Can't believe randoms on the internet were opening their traps to shit-talk him when he was the only one who handled that situation with some maturity. Looking forward to the new drama cos I know he'll do an amazing job as usual.
Comments are all over the place on this one, especially regarding the female lead. Ugh.
Haven't gone very far but the fl is the least of my issues with this drama. I didn't see the comedy tag at first so the tone shift was a little jarring but the characters work and so far the plot is consistent.
First impressions: not very impressed. Everything feels a bit cartoonish. The editing is quite choppy. I can't really get a read on the characters. Upside is that I'm a little curious about the emperor's backstory so I'll keep at it for now.
Loved this from start to finish which is a feat considering I've been dropping everything else. There were a few character decisions that frustrated me (which in itself isn't a bad thing) but the overall character development was 10/10. I think it was just nice to watch a drama where romance wasn't the solution to everything and the characters had to make difficult decisions. Mi-na ended up being my favourite character. A lover-career girl fr. And mum and dad's story was handled so well.
I would not watch a romcom where I don't think the leads have chemistry. But that's just me.
It's a little weird to still have the FL call her boyfriend by his title. Feels a little distancing. But other than that, I'm pretty satisfied with their relationship.
I cannot find it in me to be angry at the mum. I choose to give her grace until we get the full story. So far, we know she was kicked out of the home to make room for another woman. Not taking the kids was the right move because she was obviously poor, and in her situation, leaving the kids with their father was the right move.
The sister is a terrible person. It's one thing to be selfish and self-centred but going out of her way to be mean to the one person in her life who has consistently been there for her and the other kids? The vitriol she spews at her? That comes from a wicked place. Of course she's going to get a redemption arc.
can anyone tell me what's difference in this drama than usual 12 or 16 ep dramas... is it like typical tv drama…
12/16-ep dramas are mini-dramas. 50-episodes dramas are weekend dramas. Quality-wise they're not less but the genre is mostly family dramas/romcoms and sometimes makjangs.
Watched this cos I had nothing else to watch. Pretty basic story. The romance didn't feel earned imo. Guess L's pretty smile is what kept me until the end.
In all, worth every second.
