Oh sorry. The one and only.

Although the cinematography is beautiful the plot is all over the place. I also think the dialogues aren't natural at all. I like the acting of every actor here but I also have a problem to connect the couples' younger version with the older one. They feel and look way too different. I guess I can accept that but I'm having a hard time to watch this for several reasons. It's not a bad drama but plot- , pace, dialogue- and casting-wise it's lacking. It's also not focused enough with too much drama for the ML.

I think she's a good actress but tends to pick similar characters. She's like the korean Meg Ryan for me... picking mostly romcoms although she did some great acting too f.e. in When the weather is fine or Healer. I also think her make up is too heavy most if the time. But that's something that's evident in most asian productions compared to f.e. european ones.

The movie was cute abd well acted. It captured the way teenagers act and feel. I really liked it.

This was a decent but in parts draggy show. Interestingly after they became a couple the "main leads" had nothing else too do really. It felt like the other three had the higher stakes and more story. I was okay with it cause I prefered them from the start. But as a LJS fan I would probably be a little bit dissapointed.

I really loved this. The music was awesome and highlighted important parts of the story. I also liked the actors a lot. The romance was nice. I think Akane could have ended with both but she looked better with Kazushi. I also don't think the love lines were out of the blue. They were very obvious from the beginning but not the main plot. Great jdrama. The second great project of Takeru Satoh after MMH.

The movie started out well but the journalist and his motives were way over the top. Some scenes were too graphic and the actors tend to scream too fast and too much. I liked the idea but the second half was distracting . I like Kang Ha Neul but none if his projects did it for me. He's a fantastic actor. I'm glad that others seemed to like this. I unfortunately didn't.

You are spot on! Lol

S1 was pretty decent .
But S2 was a big letdown. The story doesn't make sense and the ending is highly questionable. Why on earth did the male culprit get such a happy ending??? This is even worse than Hierarchy. They should have sticked with one season.

S2 isn't that compelling after a decent S1. Too many characters, too much side plots, not enough screen time for the main characters of S1. I mean... the actual ML feels like "student No. 24" atm but not like a main character.

I agree with everything you wrote. It's pretty much spot on.

I agree. Some things weren't explained enough and some parts felt included for no reason other than showing some action. Sometimes I thought I was watching a new story... Vampire Diaries maybe. Gyeon U reminded me so much of Damon Salvatore in the wood scenes at night. Lol
The ending was okay though.

I really liked this one but the end didn't match the first 9 episodes. I don't think it was bad but it felt rushed in some parts and draggy in others. The FL did great though. Her double role was a highlight.

I really loved this version. The ending came full circle and I am very happy that they left out the second female villain in this. The storytelling was way superiour than in the kdrama which basically fell apart in the last story arc. I think ll the actors were fantastic too.

I think so too. S2 has too many characters and feels all over the place. I also think it's a pity that So Mang was replaced. He was my fave character in S1. And the explanation for his absence is so unsatisfying. I guess the actor wasn't available.

This adaption was nice but nowhere as good as the kdrama. I liked the actors and the faster pacing but it lacked depth. Also nothing can top Ji Chang Wooks rants during Business meetings, the annoying laughter of his ex-friend and the funny old man. The villain was also more charismatic.
But I prefer the japanese "Marry my husband" over the korean one. That's a great adaption.

He was basically why I watched the show. Sumin was great too.

So far I like Chang Wons story the most and I really like his character. Sang Gi and Mun Young have interesting arcs too The love story of the main couple is ok but the least interesting thing for me. Could be because these two aren't my dave actors while I really love the supporting cast. But they LJS und MGY are good too. I won't complain. It's a good Show.

For me it´s LJS. I never cared for him but I think this show (and his acting) is good. You should give it a try. The supporting cast ist fantastic and MGY is good too in it. I like her but she´s not one of my faves either.

Oh, I realized that too. It´s as if the scriptwriter HAS to check the box for "past connection". LOL
In real life most people don´t get together with their childhood buddy but there are examples too of course.
