I've come to find MDL is very bad about JDrama information in general. It is definitely more geared towards K and C Dramas.

On another note though, Japanese shows, with a few exceptions, don't really seem leave Japan or maybe Asia as much as the others. You never really see them on OTTs, and it is difficult to find the shows you want to watch unless you are already "in the know" since it's almost completely the lovely fans of the shows that decide to sub the shows for all of us and they all have their own sites or ways of distributing the shows

figures that the latest episode out when I binge a show has the biggest cliffhanger of the season so far lol. It wasn't even just the last scene, it was the whole latter half of the episode pretty much :(

Viki has a lot of "translator's notes", which I think is what Tom is referring to? They usually stay even after the dialogue gets condensed down after the edit. Sometimes they are nice since it will explain something that would otherwise be lost in translation or have to be entirely changed in order for it to make sense. But other times, they put them on things that need no explanation and they are a full on paragraph where you would literally have to pause to read it all

There are other examples of names that wouldn't make sense to neighboring areas, yet they are ok with it. I mean, you don't Scandinavian people complaining that the sea to their south is called the North Sea.

This show is way better than I was expecting it to be honestly. I started it today and haven't been able to stop watching it, about to start ep 10 already lol.

Their awkwardness to each other, and really his awkwardness in genral, is hilarious.

Nothing in the show at all said that she was cheating on him. You seem to be taking the grandmas word for it that she cheated on him, which iirc grandma was actually talking more about In-A since she didn't know that In-A had powers so grandma assumed that she was illigitimate.

IMO, all the scenes with Gwi-Ju's ex showed a true loving relationship, but she was leaving him because she was tired of being 2nd to the past, The show showed pretty well that Gwi-Ju was fully stuck in the past prior to the accident, even young In-A pointed it out. His ex said I can't do this anymore, you need to pick your family or the past and he picked the past. If she was so set on leaving him for her lover, she wouldn't have asked him to pick and In-A's mind read of her mother can be interpreted as her mom was depressed since for all intents and purposes, she lost her husband

It could honestly be said and more verifiable that Gwi-Ju was cheating on her with the past than her cheating on him

One thing that kind of bugs me about the fire scene. Even the word fire would completely immobilize Da Hae, yet they didn't show even a bit of reservation from her in that scene. I wish they would have showed something, even an internal monologue like they had with Dong-Hee before she fixed the fire curtain.

I get that she was extremely worried about In-A, since she herelf thinks of her as a mother to her. But there should have at least been some reservation. I mean, for ffs, in this episode they showed her grabbing her claw thing to turn off the burner because of her phobia

This entire thread needs spoiler tags

Would have loved that to happen, but I think it showed pretty well that In-A fully accepted Da-Hae into that role and asking a teenager to call a new parent figure mom is way too much, and honestly kind of odd. I personally was blessed with 2 parents that stayed together, but of all the people I know that have step parents, the only ones that call the step mom or dad are the ones where their parent got married while they were about 5 or younger. And of them, about 75% of them were actually legally adopted by the step parent as well

I completely disagree actually. I thought the ending was perfect. They showed everything very smoothly in the end and, to each their own, but I was never once bored watching this drama. I have a horrible attention span and this was one of the very few shows that I never had to pause to do something else for a bit before finishing an episode

I fully agree with you, but PLEASE spoiler tag this. it completely gives away the ending

I was wondering how they were going to tie the whole fire thing together, fully believing that they were going to give us a happy ending. Not gonna lie, didn't expect it to happen the way they did, but I think it was an amazing way to wrap up the story without any major plot holes or inconsitancies. From beginning to end, this show was amazing and way better than any expectation I had for it. Awesome job and thank you to all the staff and actors involved

It's funny, but too over the top for my taste I think. I got about 1 1/2 episodes into it before I dropped it.

If you like extremely unserious comedy that makes fun of itself and common tropes constantly and everything is way over the top, give it a try. You'll probably enjoy it. If that sounds horrible to you, save your time.

I do like the take on the Cinderella story though. It's refreshing to have a decent step family, even outside of a Cinderella storyline. Step families in dramas always suck. The fact that it is a Cinderella storyline (big plot point being trash family) and the steps are actually decent human beings is awesome

And everyone in the show, regardless of income, is driving some type of audi, Mercedes etc. Except the white truck of course lol. China is bad about that yogurt drink thing, it's like China's Kopiko. KTL had horrible nespresso ones all the time and PMR talked about an instant protein coffee like at least once every other episode. not showed, talked about

oh for sure. PP is shameless in both Korean and Chinese dramas lol. My favorite one has to be the 10+ million yuan weddings that have Rio showcased. I just specifically said that about Kopiko since that what the op was about.

Calling me salty because people are taking a comment thread and targeting anyone that has a different viewpoint? If you want to call it that, then sure I'm salty. You don't like the show or you are mad because SK doesn't like to show/promote homosexuality, fine. At least let people that want to watch and discuss the show the ability to do so.

Also, 1) I am by no means fat lol 2) I am a guy and 3) I'm more than likely older than you and not using my free time to attack people online just because I don't like a show or the show isn't BL enough for me. So your comment doesn't make sense since you seem to be more salty than me and also act way more immature than I do.

Also, why straight to insults? And why assume my gender? I thought that was a big no-no right? Or is it just rules for thee and not for me?

well, so much for seeing if this drama is worth trying or not. thanks everyone for ruining another comment section on this site. I scrolled at least 200 comments and saw ONE post about the actual show. F'ing annoying

On top of everything Jane said, Da Hae also said that she thought he would be able to get over it, at least to some extent, since he now finally has a relationship with In-A. He never has before, his attention to her basically stopped the day she was born. Now that he has a relationship with In-A, Da-Hae figured he could use that to not go completely in despair

It seemed to me that her hope was more for him to be depressed enough to not be able to go back in time to save her. But only be depressed long enough that he gets over her and doesn't even think about going back in time to save her once he climbs back out of the hole

I think most KDrama watchers are so used to their plugs we don't even notice them any more lol. The actor grabs Kopiko and my brain turns off for 5 seconds

His present self doesn't actually exist in the past though, except to Da Hae. I don't think there would be any of his dna or anything there since he wasn't actually there. During that time, he was in the hospital and that is the only Gwi Ju that fully exists at that time. If he died saving Da Hae in that fire, there would be no trace of him there

Kind of curious how they are going to play that out if that actually is the way they go, since he can't interact with the world as it has been shown, why can the world interact with him enough to kill him? Seems to me there isn't a way for him to actually die in the fire
