This show felt like an endless teaser since the hosts reviewed products yet they only provided initials for the brands of each one. Unless you're familiar with all brands--and Korean ones in particular--how are viewers supposed to know what to purchase if the products reviews are positive and tempting? The show's angle seems to be to promote beauty products, so how they can reconcile not revealing any brand names to us is defeating their purpose. On another note, Mi Joo was so full of herself, it was ridiculous. The other hosts were entertaining and fun, but she was so over-the-top obviously convinced she's one of the more gorgeous women on the planet and so busy wildly flicking her hair around, it was distracting and offputting to me.
I love him but don't care for this actress at all, and I'm extremely disappointed in wanting to drop the series after one episode. I don't think she's either attractive or accomplished enough to make this drama shine. Her acting feels fake and forced. to me. I feel like Sun Hoon's management team doesn't make the best choices for him drama-wise though they're great at promoting him in advertising or fan events. I think they tend to underestimate his ability and so accept just any project and so fail to show off and support his ability?
The panel here should take some lessons from the Terrace House moderators and really let them have it when there's a reason. Like Moa's two-faced friendships--and how she never spoke up and admitted that she was the one who bitched about the van being parked far away and letting her so-called best buddy take the blame... Why any male would knowingly subject himself to a proven explosive, violent, out-of-control significant other is beyond me. This woman may make for interesting reality show drama, but she seriously needs anger-management therapy! It was so interesting to visit countries I barely knew existed...
This show feels like Terrace House on wheels but with one, angry, confrontational regular passenger onboard (kind of like how Seine returns to TH to stir things up--LOL
Like Hyori's Bed & Breakfast Seasons 1 & 2, this calming series will put you into a state of Korean Zen. So relaxing...even has way less activity than HB&B but it entertains in its own serene way.
That ending wasn't enough for me. I waited 9 long, drawn-out years to reach 12 nights. This had to be the most frustrating couple ever. The lack of communication --both when they were together and zero contact when apart in this day and age of internet, cellphones, even regular phones--really stretched my belief in any sort of reality. This series had so much potential but, instead, I felt it dragged mercilessly.
I finished this show last night. Not sure what to think. The lead actress didn't evoke much compassion in me because she was mostly so angry and lashed out to hurt those closest to her. I hated the way she hurt her mother and her sweet, overly-tolerant boyfriend who painfully suffered her tantrums and breakups after sweet, shared romantic, caring moments together. I kept wanting her to go take Anger Management classes.
I loved the dancing since it made me think of my ballroom dance class days and how I'd be practicing steps everywhere--like down the supermarket aisles while I pushed a cart. The girls in the group felt real as they faced the reality of their futures while experiencing the giggly fun and pressures most face in high school. Their teacher was the epitome of what we can only hope every teacher should be--encouraging, inspiring, understanding, and doing everything within their means to help each student reach their full potential.
The theme message about achieving happiness was tossed around so much, in both positive and negative ways, it felt slightly watered down due to Shi Eun's relentless, angry attacks against the entire theory of happiness. By the time the series ended, I found it difficult to give a damn if she ever found some personal joy or not.
I loved this sweet, wise, slice-of-life drama. Couple's with problems learn to accept each other's shortcomings and combat their own to work their way back to love.
Hi, Cao Xuan Hung: Thanks for sending the show link, but I've already watched the Season 1 series. I didn't see any comments either under the link so I'm not sure if you were trying to comment about my post or not. ??
I was enjoying this drama until the final scenes. It felt like an interesting buildup of characters and relationships with their own storylines...that amounted to nothing much! It just ended and felt confusing to me. Nothing was resolved. Everything was left to our imagination. Not enough closure for me.
