totally same! and that explanation on the "on hold" hit too close to home xD I have dramas from 2013 that I feel like I'll like to repick up, but then new dramas drop by the second xD

I LOVE cruel city! I'm currently rewatching it~ my "dropped but ended up loving" was prison playbook, I dropped it before the 1st ep ended and only picked it up after a year after the huge praise it got, and I loved it xD
though I have 1 or 2 dramas here and there that I do pick up again before it ends ;)

I'm still team "too shy bowlcut" guy, he has THE cutest smile, though it's a little burdensome ;) I prefer him over "thinks he's better than everyone and he secretly thinks everyone should just love him and owe him for being around them" guy ;/

lol xD

it's like when the finally got some courage actual ml does something, we have the 2nd dude who wants a claim?
after going after his friend's crush? like sure ml (though incredibly cute with his shyness) took his sweet 4 years to finally say something, but it's still better than 2nd guy who's stringing this new poor girl??? lol melodramatic much??

I think people like the real ml (though incredibly cute with his shyness) could be frustrating and intimidating? like dude has 4+ years of bottled up emotions and he wants to get it all out xD also, he could have 4+ years of fantasy he built around how jojo is like, and he could end up disappointed....
either way though, I just remembered 2nd guy's victim mentality, and I still prefer 1st guy ;)


also, KSH is better than this... they give her THE model poor suffering everyone-hates-her character, and she still made her bearable... though there were a few scene I felt like she was gonna slap and punch some people, but she held it in because the writers want jojo to be "fragile"...

also, that long bowlcut dude is definitely the anti love alarm guy (though I thought he was dead?), so I wonder who made the love alarm?

maybe I've been disappointed by alot of dramas before, especially with endings, but sometimes they can overmix genres and make things too "emptily" complicated.. and eventhough they started it with "This is not a romance, it is a journey." it could also be empty "promotion".. and they might lose it while they go on, since it's only been 6eps...

I know all 4 main actors and some of the supporting ones, and I really love Kim Se Jung she's the biggest reason out of those 4 ;)

anyway, being back to this point again, I think I'll give it 2 more eps and I might put it on hold until it ends so I can be more "sure" of how things would develop...

for me I love analyzing age gaps, and when it's done well, like they won't make the fl super naive while the ml is super mean and bossy, then it's not an issue.. and I highly trust Lee Sun Bin's acting~

also based on this https://wiki.d-addicts.com/images/e/e7/The_Great_Show_chart.jpg their character age gap is 4 ;)


overall nice 1st ep with a potential of becoming one of my favs~ I love shows like this ;)

the most beautiful thing about this drama is that it captivates me.. I cry easily, even for boring dramas, but a drama that makes me hold my breath and get in tuned with the characters emotions? now that's amazing~ both iu and jingoo are one in a million, and for both to be in one drama is like one in a billion?

I guess the most unexpected ending would be to finish the drama before the ep count is fulfilled? xD like what will they do now?!
I thought they'd take some time showing us the staff's past story, but like, manweol's 1300 year grudge/misunderstanding is over?
maybe I'm a little disappointed that even the princess was not "bad" but "forced to be bad"?

I am actually so happy they played us with the "manweol thinks chansung is chungmyeon" thing I did still enjoy "evil crazy revengeful" manweol.... like it was great because I knew it wasn't true, but even if the drama ended without it I would've probably wished for it to happen just to see her reaction? that heartbreaking moment that she ran and stabbed chansung was so powerful! and then the fact that she realized she couldn't do it? that was also powerful! but then she had to scheme and be fully evil? that was just so powerful!

Seo Hee's story and her acting broke my heart!! THEN seeing the whole Chung Myung's death and the way the music stopped was just wow.... and! eventhough it was too easily done, but Chung Myung possessed Chan Sung! that was a chilling moment!

I don't think he has bad intentions, but that was a great scene~

omgomgomgomgomg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! first of all, this ep was HEARTBREAKING! eventhough the 1st part was not "original" or shocking that was really greatly done TT_TT
then the other part started and it literally took my breath away... but then THAT ending happens!!!!!! they are really doing a great job with the "wrapping up", I'm so excited to see how everything would turn out.....

Han Joo's oppa attack was so HILARIOUS! I think that's THE FUNNIEST thing I've EVER seen!! it made me laugh more than the neck slice and cry more too! it lasted for about 5mins, though I had to repeat it a few times, and that was just pure joy xD

I can't believe Jin Joo neck sliced him! I still laugh/cry thinking about it xD

I LOVE this! I relate so much to Son Beom Soo's presentation, that's EXACTLY how I do it xD that scene plus it's ending was just hilarious that I literally started crying xD
also I like the actress and Han Joo's boss too, maybe even Son Beom Soo after that presentation ;)

I honestly don't know who's the "main" guy but I'm all team bowlcut guy... (and I'm actually trying to avoid knowing who it is, now I'm thankful to my inability to remember names xD)

he liked her first.. agh that sounds so sls material... and I'll give the "thinks he's so hot" guy a -100... one because he's cringey and two he's so cocky, like is it 2012 or the heirs to say stuff like "how can you not like me? I'm so hot" ;/
also, THE worst crime ever is to make a move on the girl your friend likes! and he was super creepy at the end, and obsessive..... please don't be the end guy! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

the overall story is like those tumbler story prompts, and that end scene was like a fanfic xD

it's interesting to see people's reaction to this, I feel no thriller or suspense here. the fan theories have more suspense xD
it's kinda like Let's Eat, the "mystery" had no priority in the story... I'm just here for the actors, I don't think the end reveal would be anything revolutionary, at least the process isn't...

it's there https://www.vlive.tv/video/131696/playlist/127737 ;)

how could it not be his choice? he could choose to hide or to expose himself. it was the last resort, but he did choose it..
if he got caught while he tried to hide, then that would count as
"not his choice" ;)

this is one of those shows that don't need 16eps... 4 would be enough to solve everything instead of releasing 1 small detail at a time...

for one, too many recaps. and two, they spend less than half of the show on the 2 main leads, every other character is literally a filler, I don't even care to know their story...

I'm actually so satisfied with how this turned out ;)

I'm like, stop caring about how Goo Chan Sung's gonna feel when Man Wol has to leave.. I'm the one who's gonna be effected the most TT^TT who's gonna comfort me?? :(
