I definitely agree that French pronunciation is difficult but it can be learnt if you have a good teacher. I'm pretty sure that I can learn how to pronounce Thai in a week and be understood by people, even though I don't understand what I'm saying. Being perfect is not a goal but being understood is and, as I said in my comment, we barely understand Inn when he speaks French. Does it mean I don't enjoy the show? Absolutely not. And I'm happy and grateful that he is trying. I just think that we can still criticise when criticism is due, especially when the criticisms are not mean at all.
I don't think it has anything to do with 20th century French. When I read David's profile I learnt that he spent most of his time in English-speaking countries. So although his accent is perfect, I understand that he somestimes makes a few grammatical errors as he doesn't seem to have spoken it for a long time. And just as a comparison, I haven't heard any grammatical errors from Namo who is from Switzerland. So I don't think it has anything to do with fitting the era.
Don't worry, I'm enjoying the show so far. Also, I don't expect "perfect", I just expect "understandable". Having an accent doesn't mean that it's bad. But if your accent is too strong that people can't understand you when you speak, well... then it's bad. Anyway, I'm still really happy and grateful that Inn is trying.
Your sarcastic answer shows that you're not French. If you were, you would understand that the critic is totally fair. We can barely understand what Inn is saying and the way he delivers his lines sounds robotic, as if he was reciting his lines and not delivering them. It doesn't mean he is bad. We know best that French is a difficult language. If anything, I blame his French teacher more than I blame him. But unfortunately, he plays the role of a Frenchman, so his French should be at least understandable... Also, I am more bothered by the French of the actor that plays his father. The actor is supposed to be French and yet, he made a lot of mistakes that French native speakers shouldn't make. I even doubted he was French before cheking his MDL page.
It's a 7 for me. The meeting of the two main characters felt really weird. It felt like they already knew each other and I was expected some backstory but no. They just knew who they were that's it but their interactions were really weird... Also, I didn't quite like Ji Won's character. He hurts and rejects Jeong Woo because of his indecisive behaviour but, when Jeong Woo wants some time off, he doesn't want to let go. I really didn't understand the whole drama to be honest. The good thing is that the moments they spend together as a couple are quite cute to watch.
This series wasn't bad at all but I think it was too long (8 episodes should've been enough). The beginning was really nice, I loved the back and forth between the present and the past time. But when the flirting period was over, it started getting a bit boring, in my opinion. They added a lot of unecessary back story to the characters (with the mother for Sant and with the older brother for Jay). To me, they should've stuck to the romance. They also should've given Jimmy a more important part because his character felt a bit bland... Also, will we see Poon and View get real one day? Because I'm waiting for them to get together since The Trainee... Anyway, I still liked the series but I'm happy it's finished and I really hope Mark and Ohm will get a fantastic series with a better script in the near future. They deserve it. I'll add that Sea's cameo was not a surprise but I still squealed like a seal when I saw him. And the grandma being a JimmySea fan 🤣
The series was pretty good as a whole but the miscommunication and Min Jun's behaviour right after they've talked things out (or so we thought) were so irrating.
This was awful to watch and I only say that after the 7th episode. Because before, it was an okay watch. Not fantastic, but not awful either. But the whole "You only pity me" thing was too much for me. Also, I didn't like them ending up together. I would've prefered him to end up with Ha Min, it would've probably been more interesting. Anyway, I would've given it a 6 or 7 but after this awful ending I give it a 3...
So, I can't compare this series with the webtoon, as I never read it, but I really really liked the series. I understand some of the critics, especially the ones that said that Chan Yeong and Ji Yu have unecessary lots of screen time, but I still liked the series. It was a really nice watch.
I was a bit afraid of this adaptation because of the director that destroyed My Love Mix-Up but I actually have to admit he did good with this series. It's not a great series (the original wasn't anyway) but I spent a very good time watching it. It's just a shame that they didn't change the whole wedding thing because it was the thing that I hated the most in the original. As cute as the boss can be, he's a walking red flag and if I understood Mo's feelings after what happened with Heng's mum, I didn't really understand his reasons for breaking up with him.
I absolutely loved this first episode. I've waited for this series since I've watched the first trailer and I'm not disappointed (for now, at least). Love the chemistry between Mark and Ohm and love the premise of this story. I just have one question, though... Because Mark is casted as Jay on here but in the series, he clearly said that his name was Jway. So, which one is it?
I like slow build, but this isn't it. One guy was moving too fast, the other wasn't really invested. It felt like…
I actually like slow-build relationships as well. But here, it was slow-paced. Nothing really happened in each episode. It was boring... And I agree with you a hundred percent. Also, I didn't like the way Do Ha emotionnally blackmailed Woo Hyun. The episode in which he asked him to say that he likes him before asking him to kiss him. That was bad...
I was bored most of the time... In my opinion, it was way too slow but some people like that type of series so I wouldn't say I don't recommend it. It's just a 5 for me: not good, but not bad either.
Tot&lly agree with what you said. I've waited too many weeks to finally see JuniorMark's story and this first episode was just made up of all the other couples and a couple of scenes that they already showed us. So I really hope to see more of them in the rest of the episodes.
Also, I am more bothered by the French of the actor that plays his father. The actor is supposed to be French and yet, he made a lot of mistakes that French native speakers shouldn't make. I even doubted he was French before cheking his MDL page.
