I can't give an unbiased opinion on the series because I simply love Lee Sejin since PX101. Gosh! He looks so gorgeous as a Joseon girl, who wudda thought!
I saw this clip earlier on IG and had to look it up. Acchan made a reference to CM and I just found it toooo cute! https://twitter.com/motivateanger/status/1384059221604405248 (the clip I watched before had the guys' previous conversation and, from what I understood, apparently the one guy, detective Oshii, is a virgin still!!?)
Nice story. There isn't much of a plot but rather character introspection and development. At times slow paced, at times kinda rush but still a lovely movie for a saturday afternoon. (Side note for kpop fans: To me, that one Rio's classmate really looked like Winner's Song Mino!!)
sutekiiiii~! Where can I find myself such a lovely bar where I can be comforted by an overpolite bartender, a puppy-eyed chef and a broody owner? Lovely drinks, amazingly served canned food and the poignant but often accurate remarks by owner.
Funny, sweet and wholesome.I love how the fantasy element is so casual :D It's like a higher power is saying:…
"My dear introverted virgin people, only a supernatural power can help you now! But fear not, I'll lend you some ;)" Excellent way of stating it! I also think that every country and culture has their own way of (re)presenting. I also find some performers too bland sometimes (But it was bc I had been watching dramas with overexaggerated acting for a while, I guess). I think it depends on the type of entertainment you consume. It is a matter of adapting your expectations accordingly and choosing your preferences. I, for example, enjoy equally bollywood movies and taiwanese, japanese, korean dramas. I can watch tones of american romcom movies but can't stand their soup operas!, and so on... As for CM, I utterly enjoyed the slow paced development of the relationship. Like Kurosawa said:" slowly, and step by step, you can enjoy completely every new thing!" Kyaah! Imma rewatch it now for the n-time! XD XD
I was gonna watch this for Machida's sake. I skipped through a bit but got really annoyed at all the pointless crying and overdrama. Nah! Luckily read the reviews. I'm not gonna waste my time. I prefer watching a less frustrating Machida in Bijo to Danshi
Yatta~ More recognitions for CM: TVLIFE 30th Annual Drama Award for Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor for Machida. It still puzzles me that Machida always goes into the Supporting Actor category though
I've been curious for a while, but is there some points in this drama that got you hooked to it or got you to…
I must confess I didn't like Kurosawa at first and wasn't looking for a BL either, but wanted to see more of Akaso. I randomly started by watching ep. 8 and that intro scene plus the flashback gave me the (wrong) impression that Kurosawa was pervy and kinda harassing. However, I decided to watch ep. 1 in order to understand how doe-eyed Adachi got himself into that. I then found myself yelling at the screen: "Boy, don't be too long with that guy at the office!", "Don't go to his house!", "Dinner what!?". Akaso conveyed pretty well Adachi's akwardness and insecurities and next, I was concerned about Adachi's wellbeing and kept watching only because of him. Although there were some Kurosawa moments that I did like: The sudden "wanna stay over?", the look right before "Wanna come here to eat every day?", of course that delighted sigh when he "almost went to heaven for a moment" LOL, but I still wasn't rooting for him. Game changer was ep. 3, the King's game and the rooftop scene: Kurosawa's apologetic thoughts and sincerity and that pitiful look won me over (AAAAnd, Machida's side profile!! At that point I noticed how pretty his eyes are and the damn long eyelashes!!!). By then I turned into a KuroDachi fan. Summed up, it was Akaso's Ehhs and eetos and Machida's eyelashes what hooked me up XD
what would you recommend from them? I'v not watched anything before and this is great! light or dark-I'm ok with…
I see... In the end, I couldn't stop you from watching POL ^^U Well, maybe it is good for you to see Machida under a new light. For a better perspective on Machida's acting alongside his EXILE colleagues, better watch the HIGH&LOW saga.
(It took me many years to come across your comment !!)
And why couldn't I stop until I finished!!??

And because we know that they stole the show, Machida's eyebrows deserved their own video
