Say you've been in love with someone for 10 years and they've been in love with you. Then somehow their spirit/soul/mind…
Those are some deep philosophical questions. I personally love the whole loving the soul thing in dramas but I never liked plots where people go from non-related family (I'm assuming they are not biological brothers) to lovers. I'm really just here for laughs, the anxiety and to see the delulu representation in a drama. It's not often that fujoshi-type characters actually get a main role instead of a supporting role.
Strange theories time lol What if all who agreed to reset had never been reseted? I think that all of them are…
This would be such a plottwist though. I even thought this episode that the wreckage at the river was the groups bodies before they showed the detective walking towards it. The music stopped so suddenly so I thought they were gonna shock us.. But we have to remember that if the dream-theories aren't correct there's just a car wreckage in a cliff somewhere with all them dead in it within an alternate timeline. Must be a traumatic finding for the police of that timeline.
I'm not sure about anything anymore now but I personally made up the theory that she had them as psychiatrist patients at some point in the future (original future without the group-reset). That would explain why she chose them specifically, she knows a lot about them but hides it. All involved people do seem like the types that could easily go mentally unstable.
She loses her daughter and all those patients also die in different ways in the original future. She went back with an individual reset to the point to save her daughter (possibly from the train-incident?) but somehow that didn't work out. Then she planned the group-reset where she proposed sending the group to the past. Sure she could just go back further herself but there must be a reason (related to failing to save her daughter) that she chose the group-method this time. Possibly she blames them for the death of her daughter (because she couldn't be there to save her) and she feels if she trades their lives in the past then she can keep her daughter.
Aside from the theory, that woman is ruthless, she is completely able to kill multiple people just to possibly protect her daughter. She may claim that it's killing without a goal right now but I personally don't believe that. Also, I'm so grateful for the saving of Sun Ho. The bromance is saved once again.
While it still doesn't reach the levels of Japanese dramas in it's weirdness, it's doing its best. I laughed a lot at their antics. Some of these episodes felt like they were funny/kinda embarrassing and then they suddenly slap you in the face with a plottwist in some episodes (Episode 3 in particular, there are no words). Anyway, it's basically pretty boys doing embarrassing/funny stuff most of the time and the girl reacting like a sane person would. At the final episodes they finally explain the background of the club but you can guess it from hints pretty early on. I didn't expect them to make it so emotional though but it's all good.
If Sun Ho dies again we riot, I need the bromance between Hyung Jo and Sun Ho in my life. I can feel the impending doom but I'm still holding onto hope.
It actually does certain scenes slightly better than the Korean original. The first male lead seems a bit nicer than the one in the original and he does actually have a reason to be a bit uptight about everything since they clearly spend some more time explaining all his problems (fear of heights and OCD among others). The second male lead gets way more development here in my opinion and I was actually rooting for him unlike in the original drama. I'd recommend watching it if you loved the original since there are some scenes that are completely new.
The synopsis makes it look like a story I'd love and there are some good parts about it but also a lot of bad stuff. -The acting of the female lead: I've seen plenty of overacting done for comedic purposes but the female lead is really doing her best to make everything look as fake as possible. In Chinese period-dramas, the eyes are often important indicators of the feelings of the character. Multiple characters in this drama primarily use their eyes with longlasting shots to show their emotions. Then you have the female lead who can act with her eyes but she just refuses to let the rest of her face rest. I get that her character is hyperactive but this is just too much, she doesn't fit with the rest of the characters who do look serious.
This really is a hidden crossdress drama gem from Korea. Sure you have to get through a lot of soy sauce-talk (and by that I mean A LOT) but if you find soy sauce-making even slightly interesting then you'll like it. There's also the evil family and you'll definitely grow to dislike them more and more. Do Hyeon is a really fun character to watch and I loved the created brotherhood between the characters in the first episodes. I don't like everything about this drama but it definitely did deliver some beautiful moments and I recommend it for gender bender/crossdressing fans.
Not to sound like I'm hating on this show, I actually enjoy it but its beyond me how in all these years, no one…
Well it's a typical crossdress drama, those are usually not very strict with the appearances. Besides, she can still pass for a male, just a very young/underdeveloped one.
More importantly though, it's from South-Korea and they rarely show anything gay-related in the current year of 2020 so having the girl still look feminine is a must to them.
That dog-chase scene in episode 5 was so extra and I love it. This dog knows how to curse and how to roast people meanwhile I know that this breed of dog is incredibly wholesome in their character. I quote the dog here: ''Smell like Chanel no.5, that b*tch's perfume'' and ''You're not only ugly but also mean'' and ''B*tch, today you'll be sent to jail''. This dog is savage.
Anyway, the story always keeps you engaged with a GENUINE reason for her being undercover since she'll be murdered otherwise. The male lead can be pretty stupid at times but he's still loveable in the end. It's an enjoyable crossdress drama which does actually have an ending at episode 24 so I'm not sure why it's listed as having more. Some of the side-characters are extremely homophobic unfortunately.
I learned a few words of Indonesian and watched the movie with Indonesian subs. I believe the love story kinda starts getting somewhere around 44 minutes into the movie. Basically everyone thinks that Wing is gay from the beginning and the couple she goes to live with have a very difficult marriage. Sam is definitely not the anxiety-ridden man that is often seen in crossdress media, he is very direct in showing his passion but he does get very depressed. I'd definitely recommend watching this movie if you generally like the crossdressing plot.
I kinda skipped a lot through the investigation parts of the drama because I really didn't care much about who killed the singer. When you watch this you'll probably watch it for the drama and the romance and it certainly delivers on that. Bapoo is the character that is most memorable with his growth, the iconic duo of the crossdressing girls is also fun to see and I often loved the comedic team-members who were there for the drama. The couple of Bapoo and Sompong is the best because they endure a lot more hardships and the amount of anxiety both get is pretty funny. One iconic moment was in episode 9 where Bapoo dead-serious just whispers the word ''bisexual'' to himself.
Yes the video-quality isn't good but I personally thought the story was worth a bit less video-quality. The sets are beautiful and the romance between the two main leads reminded me of ''Coffee Prince'' which is an old favourite of mine. The female lead does a good job, sure her gender is obvious for any viewer but she does know how to act like a guy/look like a guy if she needs to for a scene. Before you watch this though, be aware that the drama does not deal with LGBT-topics very well.
I like the symbolism with the Red Spider Lily flower which is also often used in Japanese shows and there it means ''never to meet again or lost memory or abandonment''. So I was wondering if anyone knew what its meaning in this show is? I assume it might be different since it's Taiwanese. The flower is shown to wrap around the heart of the protaganist whenever someone is going to die.
I stumbled upon this movie-synopsis while searching for something else but from the trailers on Youtube it looks really sweet and wholesome. Wish I could watch it somewhere but it looks like it was generally overlooked, probably because it was so short.
I definitely recommend watching this show. You can watch the rich characters for the drama and the poor characters and hotel-people for the comedy. I honestly loved the poor family of Tian Yu so much but not because they are good people but because they are so centered on protecting the family. The way they handle a person they hit with a car and a victim of amnesia is hillarious (and a bit cruel) to be honest and made me finally empathise with the rich dude. The one character I disliked was Zi Qian because he is just such a ''nice guy'' for his current love-interests but he's generally pretty selfish in my opinion. Jun Hao is great to watch and you can definitely live with his selfishness and pride for a while after you see what he goes through during the amnesia. I never disliked Yun Xi as the love-rival, she is just very pitiful.
After being able to process the movie I have a slightly different opinion about it. I think the difference in acting-talent between the female lead (bad) and the male lead (good) really bring a wrong perspective on the situation in the movie. I would strongly advice against watching this movie for the romance, it's really a story about a strong girl who is willing to die for her country and an obsessive guy who likes her. I think too many watch this movie and get angry at the female for rejecting all the advances from the cute guy but I think it's honestly an admirable trait in her which was just not portrayed through the acting very well. Let's remember that the guy knew about her being in the rebel-group from the beginning and he just expected her to stop her whole life and only care for him. She cares for him (despite his flaws) but this movie just portrays the situation very realistically which could be frustrating for some romance-fans.
This movie just confused me but it had lots of potential. Like many others I also really disliked the female leads acting. No emotions shown in her expressions for the majority of the movie besides her looking like she's done with everything. Meanwhile the Japanese male lead was acting his heart out, making everyone feel sorry for him.
I'm also quite suprised that no one is mentioning that the Japanese guy character assaulted and r*ped her when he was drunk. It was kinda played off as a mistake in marriage but it was certainly horrible what he did. I get that war is a different time but I thought up to that point that he would not force her, guess my hopes for an innocent male lead were for nothing. So after that I just didn't see them working as a couple anymore.
She loses her daughter and all those patients also die in different ways in the original future. She went back with an individual reset to the point to save her daughter (possibly from the train-incident?) but somehow that didn't work out. Then she planned the group-reset where she proposed sending the group to the past. Sure she could just go back further herself but there must be a reason (related to failing to save her daughter) that she chose the group-method this time.

She may claim that it's killing without a goal right now but I personally don't believe that. Also, I'm so grateful for the saving of Sun Ho. The bromance is saved once again.
