I wanted to like this, but it missed the mark for me. The premise was extremely promising, but the execution and the acting fell through.
I couldn't feel much chemistry between the characters. The actor playing Seiryo did a better job of portraying the falling in love, but he looks too old to be a teenager. He looks even older than his real age, to me, he seems nearing his 40s, and I couldn't suspend my disbelief seeing him in a school uniform and calling somebody senpai. The actor playing Shino, while looking younger, still didn't seem believable in a uniform or that he was falling for Seiryo. I really hope they do a redo with better-suited actors. And maybe just skip de kissing altogether instead of having such weird kissing scenes because the actors looked like they were scared of getting cooties from touching lips.
And for the record, I've seen other J-dramas with actors well into their 20's playing rather successfully much younger roles so it's not impossible.
I love how Kouta is so fake in front of everyone. He uses his sunshine persona and his innocent voice but his…
Kouta is just jaded from all the years of abysmal bad luck he's endured and nothing going right for him. He's never been able to make any long lasting connections but he's not a bad person even if his intentions seem selfish and nefarious at first.
yes, both countries speak Mandarin but each with a different twang and slang. We Mandarin speakers can distinguish…
Even to a non-native the difference should be pretty clear. I don't speak Mandarin but I've watched enough Chinese and Taiwanese dramas and I can instantly tell the country of origin of a drama without looking it up.
Pretty cringy overall. The ML and the wolves are adorable, the FL is annoying and frustrating, the plot is ridiculous and and full annoying cliches. For some it might end up being very entertaining but I was quite annoyed by the execution.
He's not engaged. His father is pushing the engagement but he never proposed.
I've watched it. I mean, I didn't find it terrible but it's not my fave either. Just as a heads up if you're sensitive to cheating plots, he does have a girlfriend when he has his first kiss with the FL, and then he tries to break up with the gf the same night, but she throws a fit and doesn't accept the break up so he drags that relationship too for a while. Otherwise, there's a lot of angst but also chemistry between the leads.
Wow wow wow.. it's a very good drama. I feel in a roller coaster ride with the hidden emotion that each character…
I didn't really change that much after the 3rd episode. I think Yurika was the worse communicator of the 2. She was never her authentic self around Kaoru, she never told him how she really felt, what she thought. She played at being cute so that's all he thought of her. She expected him to guess, to magically understand what she was all about. Relationships don't work that way, it's a naive, unfair expectation. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this slice of life mini-show.
I like the leads but I'm still not a fan of the premise: PRETENDING TO BE A DOCTOR and treating him with pseudo-science. I wish they had come up with something else. Anyways, he will feel very betrayed when he finds out.
