Same. I'm also harsher on my ratings in general. And that seems to be common especially amongst people who watch a lot of Japanese movies / dramas. I wonder why...
Re-watching this after years and its probably the only South Korean drama where I shipped everyone with everyone.. like the entire cast had so much chemistry together (both romantic and platonic). They really hit the jackpot with the casting in this drama.
Mi Joo / Seong Gyum and Dan Ah / Young Hwa were adorable and precious but seriously I could totally picture these pairings as well Mi Joo / Dan Ah and Seong Gyum / Young Hwa Dan Ah / Seong Gyum and Mi Joo / Young Hwa Dan Ah / her secretary and Young Hwa / Tae Woong Dan Ah / Tae Woong (even though he's her step bro)
I barely see this kind of chemistry in a SK drama cast. So so refreshing. I want to be a part of their beautiful world so so bad.
Just one question can I expect a proper romance from this ??
YES - because it is a story of love. NO - if you're expecting the conventional romantic scenes. It's a lot more than that. Give it a try; once you start, you can't help but binge it to the end. It's addictive.
Re-watching these 8 vignettes of Kurosawa's recurring dreams hits different as an adult.This is not a perfect…
The dreams I enjoyed (in order)
(1) Sunshine Through the Rain (5) Crows (4) The Tunnel (7) The Weeping Demon (8) Village of Water Mills (6) Mt Fuji in Red (3) Blizzard (2) The Peach Orchard
Because K drama / C drama viewers tend to bump the ratings higher because of their favourites + give 10s to everything they like. Also many of them create fake accounts to bump up the ratings.
J drama viewers can't be bothered with all that + are harsher with ratings. Even if a drama is very good, you won't see a lot of dramas with 10s. The reviews will score it 7-9 + J dramas are not as popular because many make an assumption that they're not good based on watching a few poor movies/dramas that were meant for teens.
The turn-your-brain-off cheesy romcom I crave once in a while. Bonus, it stars Ariel Lin and Bolin Chen, who I adore individually and together. All in all, decent timepass. Strict one-time watch.
Re-watching these 8 vignettes of Kurosawa's recurring dreams hits different as an adult. This is not a perfect film by any means especially due to its lack of coherence, but it leaves you with little doubt that Kurosawa is indeed a master of his craft. It's not just about how visually stunning each frame was or how beautifully sound and majestic the score was, but about the depth and power each short dream held in conveying various themes of loss of innocence, death, suicide, Kurosawa's relentless desire to create, the futility of one's existence, destruction etc. The list is endless and each dream is likely to speak to each person on different levels. All I'll say is please watch it, especially if you love cinema, because each dream was and, is important.
P.S I screamed when I saw Martin Scorsese as Vincent Van Gogh! I had no idea he acted in this movie LOL

Unfortunately, South Korea lost one of its finest actors.
And yes, I can't wait to watch it :)
