An old, world-weary soul, LOL.

.... Though, TBH, considering the ending, that too is heartbreaking as a setup.

Already rewatching, for its pick-me-up power :D

I didn't catch it the first time, but MyungHa said "going to get my main" first, LOL. And "kids like chocolate, don't they?" will never be not funny, hahaha, as if he forgot being a kid at some point in time himself LOL.

It was a big feeling, LOL.

MinHye is enough to get rid of most of them, and there's more of her than they got of themselves! :) La Femme Nikita doesn't have anything on MinHye, LOL.

I just noticed the time set for each episode - no wonder it looks too long.

Both aired episodes are about one hour long, with some OP/ED, so barely that. As for 16 eps, that's the regular number of eps for a kdrama.

Worth watching? Well... we'll have to see. Too early to tell. There's eyecandy though.

The SE is more streamlined for the bromance/romantic plot but the episodes are a bit longer, so not much is really lost from the original. There are very few (a bit longer) scenes and the ending scenes are arranged differently.

And that's about it. I'd recommend the original version for a first watch,

Appealing to the person who "mistakenly" uploaded all the eps of this drama to move over on the penguin's side and also "mistakenly" upload all eps of 2ha, please, pretty please, with a cherry on top :D

Is this how they're going to release all danmei dramas from now on? :D

Skimming through with no subs, it looks like Guardian-level, maybe a bit drier (probably to give it a better chance to pass censorship.) Looks like solid bromance, at least, and there's some hand holding in some places. Without context/dialogue, it's hard to say if it's romantic or utilitarian LOL.

Nevermind, it IS danmei (as much as they allow it), and there's a HEA. It doesn't even look as bad/horror as the novel, so I guess I'll wait a bit and see if anyone cares to TL it, and then maybe watch it raw just because, LOL.

I didn't watch those movies, LOL, I don't really like heist movies (though there are some series about heists that I REALLY loved - like Be Reborn).

But at this point, I'm really hoping for a twist in the direction everyone and their best friends watching this drama seem to ask for :D

Look up Love for Love's Sake for a consolation prize. It just ended, and it might be the best short BL kdrama ever (IMHO). It's a transmigration story, and the acting is amazing. It's not a cdrama, true, but it's based on a novel, too, so that might count for something.

Mo Dao Zu Shi, the MXTX novel that The Untamed is based off.

The drama really downplayed the horror/gore aspects, but the donghua not so much, and the novel has some pretty hard (for me) scenes - like undead things munching on living persons at the command of someone who's important to the story, etc. I love that drama and I'm glad I watched it before reading the novel (though now the novel is also a favourite, I just skip the gore scenes, LOL).

We saw a coffin, who knows if there's anything in it.

I'm not seriously asking, LOL, MDZS is the top-level gore I'm ready to face in danmei, and Kaleidoscope of Death is way out of my comfort zone. I just read bits and pieces, and was curious about how they did the drama (still coming out of the left-field, LOL), and if it retained THAT aspect of the story.

I thought it was a mercenary thing - the "not today!" and the "find enlightenment", not just SeongJo's thing.

Still, JiAn is having nightmares about a dead//fake eye hyena carrying the hand, and there's no way she'd be thinking about something like that if she didn't see it. (The hyena is easy - it was the doc about the lion falling and being killed by hyenas, but not dead-eyed ones).

There were more than one guy at the apartment, and only two who looked after she jumped off the window, but that doesn't mean there wasn't someone else inside (I don't think we actually saw who did the hacking. It could've been SeongJo, but then again, it might not...)

Wait, now you're mentioning it... she's seeing a hyena with a fake eye - did Bale actually come in person to kill her, and got Honda who was trying to protect her?

Then - when she was in the hospital, Bale DIDN'T come again, because maybe he's afraid of JinMan... and so he did wait for all those years for JinMan to be gone (officially) in order to come get her again.

The cop half-heartedly offered an autopsy report - but she didn't actually check if there WAS an autopsy, we didn't see the body underneath the sheet. And TBH, I don't really see why they would cut into a body if the death wound is so obvious (that would be another point in faking his death).

The twins were there to check if the body is being burned, totally verifying JinMan is gone (since JiAn is actually grieving etc). And they're coming from the bad guys anyway.

And LOL, that whole BUS full of people the taxi driver gathered to come to the funeral - I'll just bet at least some of those were either with JinMan or with his enemies, just checking up on things hahaha~

Maybe he didn't actually die, and got his arm fit with a machine gun, FullMetal Alchemist-style, and HE's going to come save the day in the end :D

This is how it usually works in transmigration stories:

1. The MC actually dies and is reborn some years in the past, and is supposed to either get revenge (if needed), undo some bad mistakes, or live a better life.

2. The MC is taken over to another world (usually complete with a System controlling the OOC-ness) and has to get revenge/redeem someone's bad mistakes (usually they get transmigrated into someone else's body)/live again by the rules of the new world.

3. The MC is drawn inside a game/novel/alien world and has to survive there and/or do some missions in order to escape the game.

LFLS seems to be mid 1 and 2 - it's a rebirth story but with a System (that doesn't feel like an actual System, more like Death itself or at least a Grim Reaper).

I am more accustomed with novels dealing with transmigration, so I can mostly offer such examples - for 1-type, I'd say Rebirth of a Movie Star (excellent modern danmei novel), for 2-type, Scum Villain's Self-Saving System (amazing story, there's a donghua too), and for 3. The Romance of Tiger and Rose (this is actually a hetero rom-com cdrama, LOL.)

I thought Honda was also JeongCheol (the driver in the hostage rescue in ep6). Are they the same guy?~
