The Japanese original version of this drama is a masterpiece to me. I can't believe it's getting a remake.
Anytime there is a drama announced with a ML that is sick, I get excited. Because it's rare to find dramas with a ML that is sick. It's one of my favorite tropes in dramas. I have high hopes for this drama now
Her diary was sent to Yi Jin's address because a flashback scene of Yi Jin having 2 ID cards since he thought he lost his original when he found it. He gave one ID card for Hee Do to keep and she put it in her diary that was lost.
I kind of agree why did he give her diary to the book shop owner he used to work at. They should have mentioned if Hee Do still liked to read and check out Full House series from that shop. That could be why he gave the diary for the book store owner to keep when she came but he just forget maybe since Hee Do stopped coming to check out books there?
Finished it. First 9 episodes are absolutely amazing. 10/10 for sure. Lead female just amazing. I think could…
I actually kind of thought so too. Probably after episode 10 the drama felt a bit different to the first 9 episodes. It's because after episode 9, Yu Rim and Hee Do became friends and the friendship group began. I thought their friendship group was ok but didn't love it like most would.
Once they became friends, I kind of lost interest in the fencing. I was into the fencing story how Hee Do was motivated to win her first gold medal and beat Yu Rim to be her rival.
Just like you I did forward the last so episodes a bit. They were good but not as great as the first 9 episodes for me.
Dropped after 4 episodes. I watched it for Seol In Ah since she is a main role here but WTF man. I didn't expect what they gave me in these 4 episodes. From the description, cover photo, title name, and clips of this drama I expected a calmer chill slice of life drama.
The FL is gonna commit suicide with the ML's brother until she finds out he did it first. She tries to save him but is too late. She called her mom and she came to the scene to help cover it up. Also he was ending his life because he killed people and his mom who is a judge covered it up.
The mom judge realizes most of the truth of the FL, I think. She doesn't reveal it to the public because her life would be over since she covered up her sons crimes. The FL has to live with this guilt for her life then. She was bullied and had bruises. A reason why she wanted to commit suicide. Her father is god awful and sister is a freaking gold digger. The other rich ass characters are annoying and god awful to watch.
I took a peek at the 5th episode and the quality kicks in of you expect a weekend/morning drama would look like. Sooooooo many unbearable/terrible characters that I will not sit through to watch. Scam might be a word that fits this drama. The clips of the FL and ML looked good man. Their introduction here was good enough too. How did it go to such awfulness like that?
if only this drama was shortened to their screen time only.
I gave up on this drama at first after the first episode. Tropes that I hate in dramas where it happened here are the misunderstandings where the ML is misunderstood as a pervert. It upset me so much I stopped. Then I ran into a drama slump so I went through my list of dramas I dropped/not interested/on hold and gave this a chance again. Sometimes it felt slow to me where not much happens and we get light fluff stuff from a drama that had a dark mystery. But I liked the drama especially the sad backstories.
One thing that probably I only cared for was that they didn't show a scene of Jae In emotionally waiting for her father as he leaves the prison as a innocent/free man now. Her father was framed as the culprit and she had to suffer all those years. Moments like this is what I love about dramas and I didn't get to see her tearing up hugging her father knowing she solved his case along with proving he was innocent.
I assume Naoki dies in the train since he didn't get off or he fell a sleep. I think he just fell a sleep and forgot to wake up to get off. Because what reason is there for him to just suddenly die like that.
Am I the only one that watched it or kept watching it because of the singing? After hearing her sing in that first performance, I was hooked. But I was disappointed at the lack of performances from the FL. I thought this would mainly be about her journey to become a diva.
She is Ran Joo's backup singer so she can lip sync while Mok Ha does all the singing. I think we get like one performance of Mok Ha singing on stage as herself until the end where she has another one. I think they focused too much on Ran Joo and her life and a lot on the ML's family issue. The family issues was probably took up the main plot.
I didn't care for Ran Joo and her issues and lost interest in the ML's family issues. I thought Woo Hak should have been Ki Ho. He had better chemistry with Mok Ha. He also looked like what the past Ki Ho would grow up to.
If this was more focused on the FL becoming a diva and singing, I would have loved it. It was a alright drama for me.
I've seen 8 episodes so far. I strongly feel the same as you. The best thing about this drama that hooked me is the FL's singing. Hearing her singing voice captured my attention. I wanted more. So far it's taking long for her to become a diva. I want to watch her as a diva, explore the world of music industry, and sing. I really lost interest in all the other stuff about the abusive father and his family. I might respond back here if I finish this drama
This was honestly boring that I stopped watching it. Such a letdown for me because the main cast hooked me and others into watching. What a letdown of a script for them. You have Inoue Mao and Satoh Takeru as your leads/couple and this is the best you can do with them.....
At the end of ep 7, did she forget or is in denial that Seo Wan died?
