Guys, is it really worth the time? I watched first 2 episodes and was super bored.. does it get good at some point?
There are a lot of cmts already here that go in-depth over the various positives & negatives about the show, as well as reviews to help you decide whether or not to see it thru.. personally, I gave it a chance because I had fallen head-over-heels for R94 & was curious to see if A97 was as good as ppl cmt'ing on R94 recaps had said (over & over again, ha) it was.. yet I found myself disappointingly bored by the first so many eps! But I stuck with it to the end, mostly for JunHee's story, & even tho I (still) didn't get the ending I wanted, I'm glad I watched. Sooo.. depending on what you consider "good", best of luck with your own viewing experience! ^-^
Disregard all the wonky writing & just focus on the cuuteness, all we needed is more scenes with the four of them having fun together, being dorks as well as loyal friends..
MaeRi is a cheerful, bookish dreamer who just wants to keep going to college, but her father's endless debt issues have finally grounded her; to make matters worse, she's been laid off ("slow economy") yet again.
JungIn is a stoic, loner businessman who just wants to keep managing his entertainment company, which is in the process of developing a potential TV series, but his father has demanded that he get married ASAP or he'll lose all financial funding for said show, possibly including his entire company & inheritance as well.
MooKyul is a (solo) street musician by day, & (band) club rocker by night, who just wants to keep his group together while still making unique indie rock & who'd rather put up with being uncomfortably cold & poor before selling out to become a popstar idol; with serious abandonment issues due to a youth-obsessed flighty mother, he's extremely passionate about loyalty & guards his heart very closely.
See how this unlikely trio ends up inexplicably intertwined! <3
I prefer Korean dramas to Japanese dramas nowadays, but I'll never like Boys Over Flowers more than Hana Yori…
The "point" in remakes is the same reason why there's so many shades of every color.. because they all bring smth ~different, & that does not (always) have to mean "better" (altho of course, with most things there's always room for ~improvement, but how & in what ways tends to be ~subjective on the widescale), which is also dependent on who is deciding ~what is "better" & their own view of "quality", etc.. just like one colour can appear to be another one when viewed on a different screen. TL;DR, I'd rather smth be attemped just in case ~I might think it's awesome (or at least, ~parts of it, lol), even if it could end up painful (I do have my share of disappointments as well.. siigh). ^-^
This is a 6 for me. This drama was just too long, many unnecessary episodes. Again too much "victim"…
26+hrs of cuuteness in 25 eps, yup thats an apt description! the writing drove me up the wall sometimes (& omg, way to overdo the angst!) but I'd probly sit thru another 100hrs if it meant getting more cuuteness (not only in looks either, but in overall scenes, interactions, etc etc) I'm just really rather ~insatiable ;P
Lee Min Ho(Jun Pyo) and Kim Hyun Joong(ji Hoo). Just marry already.. We want to see you two together again...…
YESS if ever there was such an OT3 worthy ship (in K-dramaland, anyways), this was it!! I mean, the boys clearly loved each other enough that if the 3 of them were to just actually TALK about how great they really are together, they'd certainly all have a wonderful life happy ever after xDD
What, no You're Beautiful? xD But their bromance was ~melt-worthy! <br /><br />Altho the members of ANJELL did often seem a bit ~too distant from each other, they definitely had potential for shippage (& maybe angsty backstory reasons for said distance, hehe ie inner-group drama before the series story took place) & when times actually got tough, they still stood together & strong.. ? <br /><br />EPiC angsty fanvideo by one talented vidder: http://youtu.be/zEzxK5iEvUg ..tho I usually prefer sappy cuute stuff- if you have any bromantic shippy recs for ANJELL, please share! ;P
Ahaha, I don't think those would work for me.. but I manage to mostly avoid burnout of any one theme or genre etc etc by simply keeping a steady routine of alternating eps from all my other various current shows, which I'm ~usually behind on so there's always plenty to watch.. ie: NCiS, H50, SPN, Being Human, Once Upon a Time, Once Wonderland, Grimm, Agents of SHiELD, Grey's Anatomy, & Days of Our Lives.. just to name the ~recent few ;D much more on my "ultimate to-watch list" tho! & many (new & old ones) added all the time..
