Is there any love triangle or annoying second leads. When does the leads get together ?
no real love triangles but yes there is one annoying second lead but they deal with her the same episode the leads officially get together (i think around episode 22?) honestly, the romance wasn't dragged out because the main leads were pretty focused on their sport and helped support each other so their relationship wasn't rushed and was so sweet and wholesome) Edit: yeah i went back and it’s episode 22 not 14, my bad. I personally don’t consider the second leads as part of a love triangle/square because it’s pretty clear throughout the whole show they’re in a one sided interest. I see love triangles as the girl deciding between two men or vice versa with a guy and 2 girls. Here, she only respected the coach versus actually falling in love with the main lead. She verbally clarifies this multiple times in different episodes. Neither SLs gained that kind of interest in the MLs so I see them more as a threat to the OTP than actually part of it. But that’s just how I view it and I know others have their own opinions.
Truly a talented beautiful cast and the story never slowed down. You can tell the whole staff and cast put their all into this sports drama. I keep re-watching all the competition scenes. They're amazing and well filmed!
Well, i just finished binging this whole thing in 3 days and I gotta say that was of lot of fun!:) I was angry, thrilled, and very entertained in pretty much every single episode so to me, no matter how bad the script is, it’s a winner if you consistently entertain me. The pace wasn’t slow because the love triangle was like a side story and the main focus was solving back to back murders and finding this stupid pearl (which i thought we would never find tbh). I disagree with the previous comments about the FL. I was pulled in initially because of her expressive acting when I saw the 1st episode on YT. I kept thinking that the whole cast was really well chosen but i personally felt that the script was lazy towards the end. Tbh I’d probably watch season 2 if they actually do that, but only for the same cast. This was my first time seeing a period murder mystery drama like this so now i’m on the hunt for similar ones!
As a former student who would start hallucinating after staying up late, i related to this movie on deep level. Haha but i really like how simple the story was so i was able to concentrate on the characters and their relationships
super cute movie! kinda fast paced but simple and easy to watch. does anyone know what the words say on the wall at the end next to the drawing of the astronaut?
not sure if i should have read the novel first but so far the main cast is literally bringing the novel to LIFE! the main two ML and FL's expressions are so natural and give me butterflies. i'm loving everything about this drama so far.
the comedy in this is *chefs kiss* PERFECT. it really feels like a webtoon come to life. Plus the leads are so beautiful like how can they be so beautiful?
this is a GREAT article! thank you so much for putting all this together. I literally just finished "Lost Romance" and I've suddenly decided I need to dive into Taiwanese dramas. So your article showed up at the PERFECT time!
not a day goes by without me thinking about this drama... and wondering when they will give us the release date. it's become like part of my daily routine. But at least they feed us with these gorgeous photoshoots... meanwhile I'm just rewatching Love Like White Jade episodes to distract me.
