I am taking my time to re-watch. In fact when I was watching episode 1, I thought this is a drama you need to take time to savor. Every scene. Every detail. Every line. Every emotion.
Those of you who have read the webtoon would agree...the original webtoon looks almost impossible to execute in reality but they did this and I say, it's such a great interpretation. Just for that alone, I rate it 10/10. I definitely would agree it's not perfect but it's a unique production and more importantly, it moved my heart. So again, 10/10 there.
Hwang in yeop stole the show for me. He is the only one that did justice to his character and resembles his webtoon…
This comment reminds me of the scene in ep 3 that in order to move ahead, the character that Hwang In Yeop played had to jump over his classmate. There is really no need to put others down just to make your bias stand out. If he stole the show for you, that's good. But it doesn't take away the fact that he was not the lead and neither did he do such an outstanding job that he overshadowed Ji Chang Wook or Choi Sung Eun. And while I like Ji Chang Wook, I don't have to put others down just to make him look good. People have eyes and judgment. Plus the man is charismatic enough to stand out on his own. Just his silhouette alone can cover up any other shadows.
the musical scenes make me feel nostalgic, almost as if i were watching a classic disney movie like HSM or something!!…
I thought it's better than the Disney productions though cos I always fall asleep on those especially when they start their singing and dancing. This one I didn't and found myself looking forward to the singing.
Can anyone tell me if the scene of Ri Eul the teenager met Ah Yi the child was in the webtoon? Cos I don't remember it and I went back to check and still couldn't find that scene in the webtoon.
This is such a bold production. I've never enjoyed musicals...like someone said, it's typically a snoozefest for me and I can't get pass the first 15 mins usually. And I always cringe at the singing. But this one is so different because it's so unique. A piece of art really. In fact, I enjoyed the singing most and found myself so moved to tears because the lyrics are so meaningful. I don't agree that the tunes are not memorable. I'm humming to theme song. It's so beautiful. Curse of a Asphalt is another favorite.
Parts of episodes 4 & 5 did feel heavy though or rather...dark (so that's for those who think this adaptation is too glitzy). But I love the ending. I read the webtoon and found the ending too open for my liking. This adaptation had it right because it ended on a hopeful note. I like that the mysteries had closures and what was left unanswered was better left as a mystery.
Many dramas are entertaining but are forgettable. This one may not be as entertaining for some but it is definitely unforgettable. I am so wowed by the cast. They did such an amazing job!
I finished 2 episodes. Originally, I wanted to binge-watch all 6 episodes but after now, I decided to take my time. Cos after every episode, I just want to go back and rewatch it all over. So good!
I am not a fan of musicals in movies or dramas but this one is exceptional. The singing is done at the right moments and the music is great. I cried in Ep 1 when Yun Ai first sang. Very well made. And Choi Sung Eun is a wonder. Very impressed by her acting.
I usually watch this drama in silence and awe but scenes of the Liberation Club gatherings and Doo Hwan (siblings' childhood friend) always cracks me up.
because long ballad doesn't have grooming . not everyone is messed up in the head to accept an adult ml meeting…
Hello? Who is messed up? Your comment is utterly rude and doesn't make sense. Go brush up on your English and comprehension before commenting. Just cos it was the same actor playing the role throughout does not negate that he was playing the role at different ages. They were 7 years apart and when she was 12, he was 19 and there was nothing romantic about their relationship then.
i dropped this drama because the plot just feels like every wuxia drama ever with the whole multiple identities.…
You shouldn't torture yourself if this is not for you. But for the rest of us, it's a great ride so far. I love the fighting scenes and also the romance. The pacing is just right.
The writer of this show is a maestro and the director is a prodigy. I am so impressed with how well the struggles of each individual is depicted in this show. It's not only in their dialogues or monologues but it comes across in the way they walk and carry out their daily chores.
And the dialogue between Gu and MJ in ep 6 is so precious. I can so relate to how exhausting it is to listen to people and much more taxing having to respond. It's a daily struggle and yeah, you cope on most days but it's not fun. And I totally get what their childhood friend was saying about having to rehearse his reaction to seeing Gu. Awkward + more awkward.
Have you watched his other dramas, like Beauty Inside or Because This Is My First Life? His acting is subtle but…
I watched a little of BTIMFL and dropped. But I noticed he was an introvert in that show unlike this personality. Come to think of it, KJW is usually an extrovert or at least quite sassy in her other roles but this is the total opposite. So both of them had an "exchange" of sorts. LOL.

I just love this show. It's deep soul food.
