This was trash! I get they were trying to go with something close to High & Low and Crows Zero, but it was utter shit lmao I watched many high school gangs/delinquent dramas/movies and this was the worst in the list. Also these actors look old as heck, like what high school students look like they are in their late twenties to mid thirties?! The fighting scenes which are the most important part were lackluster as well.
I found the movie distasteful & just terrible so this was just as bad. I am a huge fan of good Japanese content…
Ikr! I despised both of the movie and the drama and can't bring myself to get why some people love this garbage! I mean it's basically a cheap ass version of F4 and at least in F4 the FL had personality and fought the boys back to the end, till they made them respect and like her (Especially the Thai version of F4, that version was perfect and all the guys grew up in the end and became quite likeable), but the FL here is just a pathetic dumbass, letting the guys play with and harass her like that while she be like "There is no way them gods like me, I'm so plain after all" and letting that Kuro piece of shit both verbally/physically abuse and sexually assault her while she just stare at him fearfully. Like that made me hate her guts even after knowing how much she was bullied before and they even dare to make it seem as if him messing with her is what helped her become more confident, like really?! Is she that desperate for guys attention? Of course they turned her into the damsel in distress in second episode who can't do a thing but wait for the two guys to help her weak ass! I don't care how ugly I'm or how good looking and popular some guy is, if he treats me like shit, he also be getting shit in exchange! It's not like he will put her in jail or kill her if she slap the shit out of him whenever he try to touch or boss her around. Indeed Japanese people got some awful kinks and character tropes along with infinite cringe going on with their romance stuff. That's why to me romance Japanese plots and shows are my least favorite among all Asian countries (Even though most Asian romance dramas and even Western ones got some toxic shit in them to be fair, healthy romance plots are rare! lmao I prefer Asian shows cause they don't only care about sex and cheating like Western ones which I can't really watch thanks to that). At least if they do admit in the shows that they are being toxic then that's fine, but they try to hard to make it romantic and acceptable instead and that's what drives me nuts! Some people be watching this trash and think that is how romance should be (I know I sound like a Karin here, but it's the truth).
Welcome to cringe fest. 🤦🏿♀️I can't believe I actually watched the entire thing. 🙈 I kept hoping…
The part of the director jerking off to their scenes after what he done to them was traumatizing to me, I highly doubt I will be able to forget that lmao
Glad the Korean public doesn't agree with you and the drama has good and rising TV ratings.Don't agree with all…
I didn't say others must agree with me. If they don't agree then great cause I love Lee Joon Gi and I don't want any of his dramas to be considered a massive flop by the whole world, especially when I know he is doing his best at playing his roles . I really dislike this drama, but if you like it then fine, you do you, still I won't pretend to like it just to please others or for my favorite actors sake. Actors did their job, it's not their fault that they didn't get the script they deserved, but the plot and many characters are garbage to me.
This website exist to allow everyone to rate and share their honest opinions on dramas/movies and the actors acting skills, so I said my opinion in details honestly. As long as I'm not insulting the actors personally, or any other user of this website then I won't bother sugar coating my words.
By the way sometimes those high ratings happen cause of the actors fame, and the fans obsession with them, not cause the drama is actually a masterpiece. At times you could just make the actors stand there for whole 20 minutes without saying a word to each other, or write the most toxic plots with the worst clichés and tropes in history and it will still get ratings cause the fans won't mind having any type of content that allows them to enjoy their favorites visuals (A great example of that is BL dramas, most of them got awful plots and even awful acting half of the time, but since the main characters are hot or/and popular everyone will still watch them while trying hard to get over the clear issues going on due to the lack of decent content and I admit it as a BL fan myself). I know cause I mentioned on my original comment that I only finished this drama out of my love for Lee Joon Gi's visuals and acting skills and that's it, I would drop for sure otherwise. I did consider some dramas as top tier (Like Flower of Evil and Arthdal Chronicals), but sadly the Korean audience and ratings didn't agree as much as I hoped. Still I didn't get offended over it , just sad since it's their right to do what they want and I can't control others minds after all so chill dude.
Wow, only reason I watched all 16 episodes of this drama (In 4 or 5x speed though) was for Lee Joon Gi as he is my top Korean actor and I love his face lmao but damn I hated everything about the drama from like episode 6 and I mostly watched it late at night to get myself sleepy enough to fall sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow, seriously this drama had one of the most shitty and boring plots that ever existed in drama history. Last episode was utter dog shit and all million characters who interacted with MC and villain were forgettable as hell. Even if everyone around the MC died I wouldn't blink an eye. They only existed to help the MC after all, and the whole harem crap they tried to pull made it even worse. 1000 girls with zero personalities are into the MC who doesn't give two fucks about any of them that way and then all of a sudden he decides to get married to the most dull and annoying girl in the group whom he had the least chemistry with out of the blue! That made me feel blank...
The acting was good enough, everyone done their job and overall I did like the MC character, but he gave that anime shonen protagonist vibe, being overly smart, arrogant, and cool that you want to smack his head at times. Him and the main villain were the only kinda interesting characters in the plot. The "romance" and action scenes were cliche as hell and even comical at times! Music was boring as well. Humor was meh, especially the MC parents. I thought we will witness a dope revenge story, but it was a huge disappointment. The grim reaper was almost a pointless character during the whole show. Most villains were really dumb except for the main one whom they made a bit too invincible. Compared to other villains in other dramas I watched before, he is actually not even a great villain to begin with, but still better than most characters included in this drama.
Kdramas have been going downhill lately as I suffer to find a drama worth watching till the end. They all have similar issues, first episodes and idea of plot might be good, but then everything becomes stupid and unrealistic and all characters change 180 degree as if they got possessed and you end up with unsatisfying even rage or depression inducing endings. It's as if they get written by elementary school kids who barely understand what good writing means. They just need famous good looking actors and that's it to gain views, but don't bother giving respect to the viewers and gift them with garbage in exchange for their loyalty to their favorite actors/actresses. I think they should also make most dramas 6-12 episodes only to avoid wasting everyone's time on draggy stories which don't make sense.
Also that Hee Ah or whatever her name was, every time she did the advertisements thing for those beauty products I couldn't help but cringe and roll my eyes. I really hope they don't waste money or time making a second season of this trash.
Okay so I finally watched this movie but honestly I kinda hated it. I know many would disagree with me and would say it's deep and emotional and stuff. I mean yeah it's sad and all, but they could do it in a much better way. There were many points that bothered me like:
1- Why a high school student and teacher relationship? Couldn't they be anything else? Maybe even a college professor and adult student. A co-workers each with spouse and his/her own kids...etc No matter how much I understood what the writer was going for, watching a school girl and a teacher in that type of way (Even if nothing actually sexual was shown or happened) was disgusting to me. I was dying of boredom and uncomfortableness during the second half.
2- Why turn Dew into a girl? Like seriously why?! He could posses a fellow gay/bi (Or even straight) boy and nothing about the story or ending would change at all, they would still be a teacher and minor, the boy could be in a relationship with that abusive Top bastard of a boyfriend, and the teacher and student could still die in the end and everything. I really despise it when gay male characters turn into females all of a sudden with the excuse of them being reborn or possessed. If I want to see guys and girls together I would watch straight dramas for fucks sake! That detail was hella stupid and pointless to me. I would also be pissed off if it was lesbian relationship and they turn one of the girls into a guy just because. We barely have enough LGBTQ+ content to begin with so why turn them straight too?! (Also some said it was to make their relationship even more impossible since Phop is gay and he can't be with a girl, but did you all forget he was already in a relationship with a woman after he became an adult? It's not that impossible, especially since the brat is already possessed by his one true love...)
3- Not gonna lie at the start Dew's personality was annoying to me, but then him and Phop fell for each other and the plot got all cute and stuff then second part ruined it completely for me. The part about his death didn't impact me as much as I thought it would since they just didn't bother explain it well. They just went "Dew died by accident" and that's it. Ohm was the reason I bothered watching the movie and he obviously did great. I appreciated how realistic the plot was in the past part with the whole extreme homophobia and treatment for gay people, then it went downhill in future. I thought they would try showing us that the world became a bit better and more open minded, but no they still made the couple miserable till the end. Instead of making the issue them being gay, now they turned it into a pedophilia issue as if they want the plot to be as gloomy as it can get and that's it. I think watching Dew and Phop be older, alive, and maybe forced to be "normal" by getting married and having kids then meeting again later and realizing they didn't get over each other, but can't just abandon their families blah blah would be a much better story to me. Only reason I gave this movie 3/10 instead of 1 is out of respect for the past part which was decent.
I heard Jaehyun from NCT was supposed to act in a Korean version of this movie (Which is also a remake of an older Korean straight movie?) but they would make it BL made me so hype I almost had a heart attack, but then it got cancelled which left me in rage mode. Now that I actually watched the Thai movie I think am not that bothered any more. I mean I would sell a kidney to see one of my greatest Kpop crushes Jaehyun act in a BL, but if his character turn into a girl halfway through the plot, that would be traumatizing lmao
I loved the donghua of this a lot so I decided to watch the drama as soon as I found it, but it's hella stupid and boring to me. I don't know, I guess some things only work in animated form and as soon as they turn it live action it becomes unbearable to watch. The actors are doing good job and everything, I also love Joseph Zeng, and started watching more of his stuff lately since I loved his roles in Ultimate Note and A Journey Across The Night, but I just can't get into this drama at all.
I was frustrated too at first !!! but the beginning of episode 3 explain why she did that, now i'm relieved..
Still risking the safety of someone isn't excusable at all. What if these other school thugs hurt him greatly or stabbed him? What would she do then? There were a group of them hunting the ML and they could easily kill him if we are speaking realistically. I still dislike her honestly. Also I can't get over how she also copied his homework (And after what happened to make it worse! If I was in her place, I wouldn't have the courage to look him in the eye even if he forgave me, let alone take credit for something I didn't do myself, but took from someone else who actually made effort to make), it's a sign of a super lazy, irresponsible, selfish, and brazen person who mostly care about their own benefit. I know I might sound super harsh, I can't help it though lmao
Of course they turned her into the damsel in distress in second episode who can't do a thing but wait for the two guys to help her weak ass!
