It is fascinating to note that 70% of people choose to follow a film based on whether it will succeed or fail, as if they are betting on the success or failure of the major stars involved. the cinema, like any form of art, only holds value in the eyes of the viewer. The opinion of others, no matter how influential, should not shape our own perception. Every film is a unique encounter between the work and the spectator, and that encounter should happen without the weight of collective judgment. We all have the opportunity, and even the responsibility, to free ourselves from external influences in order to enjoy a film based on our own sensibility. (It will also help film producers, stars and creators to tinker less and CREATE more, rather than follow trends.)
Thus, it is not about blindly following mainstream opinions or conforming to societal standards, but about giving ourselves the chance to discover, to judge without the influence of pre-existing judgments. ( That's where the manipulation of views, likes, fake inflated numbers, etc., comes from in our time, because that's our value of judgment.) Ultimately, it is in this freedom of judgment that the richness of our artistic experience lies, far from the projections of success or failure that impose a utilitarian view of art.
It's so great, the third episode—my adrenaline is at its highest level. It was super, everyone plays wonderfully. Here, it's also told that on Earth we don't pay attention to little things like flies or mice, their lives are not important, but once humanity is left alone in space, every form of life takes on value! It's also about looking at what surrounds us differently, human values, deep love (I think the film tells this story—about life, the value of birth, and all the way to death). The music will be magnificent too, I already love it, and there are beautiful images... I think there is comedy , romance ... and a bit of everything, but this film can be watched on multiple levels of understanding.
The combination of actors is simply perfect! I think both play wonderfully and very naturally. Gong Yoo Jin may not be as "doll-like" as the SFL, but she is very natural (just like her personality...), and her performance here is flawless. I believe this is truly a mature relationship! Min Ho is amazing !!—slightly clumsy, funny, but competent!
You can clearly see the director's style in many details, just like in it's okay to not be okay. The small quotes, even the opening animation.. ( very well thought out, just like in that series) . Also, I think there are many similarities with Encounter... and there will also be inspirations from the film Gravity with sandra bullock and george clooney (from the very beginning, there are resemblances to that movie).
I really enjoyed watching it, although there were some moments I didn’t like. Lee Min Ho is simply amazing; his charisma fills the screen. I have a question about the very end: [spoiler] he asks her to cook for him every day, so they are planning to live together, right? [end spoiler]
The supporting characters are also well-developed, but regarding the main heroine, I liked her a lot at first when she was in the U.S., but then her character became too dull, always with a sad expression, and it started to annoy me. Her weakness contradicts the fact that she studies and works in several places. This means she is a strong person, capable of fighting, so it doesn’t make much sense to me (her weakness). There is something illogical about some characters in this film...
There is something about the movie that keeps you watching, perhaps it's the themes or the performance of the main character? He's quite natural, without the aura of a 'star,' although he lacks a bit of charisma. However, the female lead really annoys me with her voice and static facial expressions, even though she has a pretty appearance.
As for the characters, they haven't been developed enough so far — it's unclear why the guy falls for a girl who behaves so harshly and arrogantly. I often see this in Chinese dramas, where the woman has a very strong character and the man has none at all... the opposite dynamic, or where the girl must at least once 'try to kill or avenge' the guy.
The secondary characters also suffer from a lack of depth, although they could have explored interesting themes like domestic violence, divorce, and different kinds of reality show backstage ...
I have a neutral standpoint. I don't favor one character over another, so I always let myself delve into each…
and then there is a real evolution of his character (well done the writer) because at the beginning he was indecisive and now he goes forward and clearly expresses his needs
Seok Ryu is still evolving... she has to overcome several things before the end of the series (including self-acceptance, letting go ?)
Lol not to be petty (because I don't hate No Gain No Love, it's a fine if not forgettable drama) but watching…
"I like the other one too No Gain No Love, the actor performs well, and so do the others. The only downside is the actress—I just can't connect with her."
An artwork, whether it's a painting, music, or film, is interpreted differently by each person, shaped by their own sensitivity and experience. There is never just one interpretation; sometimes the artist creates something, but each individual reimagines it through their own prism.
"Many people think that the FL (female lead) doesn't love the ML (male lead) and prefers her ex. I don't think so. True love and a real relationship are when you can stay yourself with that person. She feels comfortable with ML. Plus, she's always close to his soul; he's her soulmate. She's caring, she looks after him, and she needs his presence in her life. True love isn't just physical, but about understanding, devotion, and freedom of self. She has always loved him, but as a woman, she had buried that feeling deep down until she lost him. And when she saw ML again, I believe that 'physical' feeling reappeared, little by little. We'll see the relationship evolve into a romantic one. But it will take a few months, I think, to establish that.
Sorry, I don't think you should call a guy, even if he's your friend, at midnight and leave several messages, etc. You can really see that there's a difference between FL's relationship with ML and ML's relationship with his childhood friend (Jung Mo Eum) . They're very close, but there's no crazy attraction or soul-deep connection."
There are many clues about the girl love: In episode 4, when she reads her letter, it says 'when, where, and how,' which I believe refers to her love for her friend (Seung Hyo ). I also think that whenever her friend (Kim Ji Eun) asks if she's still in love, she answers, but the response doesn't necessarily pertain to her ex.... And In the bathroom scene, she admits to herself that she was the one who fell in love first.
I think this drama touches on relevant topics such as work-life balance, finding your path and sticking to it, even if it's not considered 'prestigious.' Alongside this, it explores the importance of listening to your heart, understanding your needs and feelings—this is part of growing and maturing.
As for the boy (Seung Hyo) , it's about being more assertive, decisive, expressing and showing what he need. In the end, both characters are on similar.
It's quite similar to "Queen of Tears". They tried to reverse the roles—this time, she prefers her childhood friend over her ex. She was also demanding of herself, a perfectionist in her career, emotionally quite reserved at first, and kept things hidden from her parents.
