I don't think we'll get a true villain since everyone is working towards different goals.
I think that would probably be the most sensible direction for the drama to take, or it could use that old formula of the person behind everything, etc. (I sincerely hope not).
I find it funny and irritating when I see the villain being a totally pathetic guy. I don't know, I think I prefer "villains" like in Nirvana in Fire who aren't totally pathetic but aren't perfect either, like Prince Yu for example. And that was the most memorable villain in the C-dramas I've seen so far, I hope this one has some that will be remembered.
Is it region locked on Youtube in Brazil? It's slower, but episode 1 is on Huace's channel there.
When I wrote this, I had only seen on Wetv, IQYI, and Viki that there would be an episode in 3 days, but then I saw on Huace's channel that it was available, so it was just me who hadn't noticed it properly at the time.
It was a huge surprise that the second season came out this year. I watched the first season about 3 or 4 months ago, but honestly, I don't remember much. It's a shame that it only has 28 episodes I believe there are several reasons for that, which is unfortunate. 😥
The first 15 minutes of episode 13 made me laugh and feel angry at the same time lol, like the protagonist wasn't exactly Sherlock Holmes before episode 13, but she could reason a little, so why was she getting so angry? Not to mention it took her a long time to discover the truth. If this drama had 12 episodes, I think it would have been better, maybe because it took so long for ML and FL to get answers to long-running questions that it ended up feeling a bit out of sync, maybe? Or maybe I just couldn't connect with the characters enough to be happy that they discovered the truth or to feel sad about the "injustice" that happened to them? I think in the end the biggest problem with this drama for me, at least, is that I couldn't connect with the characters, even though I liked how the drama goes through cases in each episode, which really caught my attention, and that's what made me finish it so quickly even though it's "slow". It's good because the two don't have much chemistry, and it makes the drama better that way. I'd say that when I finish it, it'll get an 8.5 :)
I think that when I finish this drama, the biggest factor that will keep me from giving it a higher rating than…
I haven't seen many Korean dramas with incredibly strong romantic chemistry, I think I compare them more to Chinese dramas, which have tons of incredibly strong chemistry. But of the ones I've seen, these come to mind, both for romantic chemistry and cast: Descendants of the Sun, It's Okay to Not Be Okay, Flower of Evil, Healer, What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, Her Private Life, Touch Your Heart, Hospital Playlist, Our Blues, Vincenzo, Tomorrow, Blood Free, and My Name. Some of these don't have the best scripts and are a bit slow in parts, but the chemistry between the leads is very good, or if there isn't romance in the ones I listed, the cast fits together very well. (If you haven't seen all of them, because some of the ones I mentioned are kind of the basis for K-dramas).
This drama is funny because, up to episode 9 I've seen, it's unbelievable that there's romance in it. ML and FL do so many bad things to each other that it's comical, and SML is the one who ends up getting hurt. I want to see how the "romance" will develop in this plot 🤣
The first two episodes of this drama are so refreshing that I don't want it to end quickly 😣
I think that when I finish this drama, the biggest factor that will keep me from giving it a higher rating than 8.5 is probably because I didn't see much chemistry between the leads, but maybe it's because when we watch any drama we always compare it to others and you always have a standard that is perhaps high, as mine is.
Exactly, it also doesn't cross my mind why she likes him so much when the drama shows no dialogue or action to…
Yes, it really does seem quite empty, this thing that keeps her so attached to SML. As you said about making the story long, that's a fact. Honestly, I think it could have been resolved in basically 5 episodes, and the gap that would remain until the episode where she falls in love with ML could have been filled with things here and there. But unfortunately, inflating the story to create "clips" (which are mostly boring and completely irritating) has become standard in dramas.
Not gonna lie, if the fl doesn’t fully move on in the next episodes, I might have to drop this because there’s…
Exactly, it also doesn't cross my mind why she likes him so much when the drama shows no dialogue or action to justify her attachment to him for years. Honestly, I don't know if my perspective changes either because I'm a man, and maybe just finding the guy handsome will make some women cling for years. And in the drama situation, this relationship didn't seem like it would work from the beginning
How much screentime/space does Jisoo's character actually take up? i'm not very interested in her character and…
Thank you, I understand your frustration. I don't like her character either, but I'm trying not to hate her so I can finish watching it (and it's a little difficult, haha) 🤗
How much screentime/space does Jisoo's character actually take up? i'm not very interested in her character and…
Let's say that up until episode 5-6 she has about 30-40% of the screen time and mentions and is almost always the central point, even more so for ML's side. From the mentioned episodes onwards, her presence decreases considerably, she's always indirectly mentioned because of her husband, who, when he appears, always ends up being the reason for his actions, etc. until episode 9 when she kind of returns for the whole episode. After that, I can't say it was the last episode I saw 😅
im pretty sure there will be a second couple, the ml's nephew and the new transfer student
No, I know there's a second couple, but I'm saying that there might be that classic and annoying K-drama rivalry between two male leads for the female protagonist; it's just that I'm a bit tired of it. But I hope it's not what I'm thinking.
I saw the poster and got excited, I read the synopsis and thought it was interesting, I added it to my plan to watch list, then I see it has romance in the tag and there's a second ML without a second FL, it made me so incredibly discouraged lol
I'm currently at episode 2 and, after not watching a healing drama for quite a while I believe this genre resonates far more with those who have experienced tough times or phases of profound solitude.
Even if you haven’t gone through something painful just enduring loneliness alone can make this type of drama strike a chord with you. Which is precisely why I am so fond of this genre.
Having seen the initial two episodes I am already very eager to keep watching, which I realize is a challenge, for certain viewers regarding this drama. In my opinion those who resonate with this style of storytelling aren’t necessarily seeking to revisit or stir up past experiences but instead to engage with content they can emotionally relate to without pressure gradually finding healing as the plot unfolds.
I hope the upcoming episodes continue to be good, even knowing the drama was shortened. And yes… I think I might have written a bit too much 😅
