In which ep do the leads get together? (looking for a precise answer)
edit: *scratches head*
edit2: qBlood's answer is right.
edit3: beslyf22's answer is also right. Good grief this is a wee bit stupid. The writer did not really respect the audience's intelligence. Is it possible there was a minor semi-breakup scene that has gotten axed before the Drama passed censorship?
". We want sweet scenes but not a drama full of them. "I respectfully disagree with this. The problem here is…
"needed more angst and sorrow" of course that is not what I meant. I meant that there are similar angst free cdramas that kept my attention far more. Perhaps it is really just a matter of taste.
Just finished this. I waited until the long weekend to finish the last 7 episodes. Giving my final two cents on…
". We want sweet scenes but not a drama full of them. "
I respectfully disagree with this. The problem here is that the sweet scenes are a bit bland. Just compare this drama with My Fated Boy, You Are My Glory, or even GGS2. Maybe the lack of comedy is also a problem.
If you understand Asian & especially Korean culture, where Confucianism is still one of the most important forces…
Since I started watching kdramas 5 years ago I have only seen one drama where the toxic parent had been abandoned and one where the toxic parent and the new spouse just kept on fighting even after children have been born. The enmity between parents and spouses is ridiculously strong in this one to begin with, I have no hope.
A part of me doesn't understand why they can't be together??? Why must he suffer because of what his mother did.…
If you understand Asian & especially Korean culture, where Confucianism is still one of the most important forces governing family relations, then it's easy to understand. Even in a more open western society the family history of these two would be a relatively difficult thing to deal with.
Honestly when I learned what the makjangish base setup is, I should've dropped it then and there, since a satisfying ending is unlikely.
I think the drama is trying to portray a different versions of love than the usual tv stuff. I believe so far…
I do like this genre, I think.
Rain & Shine, Weather is Fine, Encounter, One Spring Night & even A Piece of Your Mind were dramas I enjoyed a lot. (sans Weather ending of course)
I've been trying to think about what my problem with this drama really is. I think partly It's just a lack of chemistry, it's like the actors are trying so hard to project melancholy authentically, that not much else is left there in their interactions, beyond wistful stares that is. Also there is the issue with where the plot is headed. I dislike tragic endings, but in my experience as an avid kdrama watcher, the toxic parent will either get a redemption arc, or the lovers will just split up La La Land style. Strongly anticipating these -to me- horrible things is certainly not helping with immersion.
