Hime

Over a week since the last episode was supposed to air and the last 4 episodes still arent available. I watched until ep 19 and just want to watch the last 5 episodes to get it over with.

Weak, very weak...the plot, the acting, the conclusion, everything.

The initial idea seemed kind of interesting although not unique (felt like they got it from When The Phone Rings) but after watching the first few episodes I was not sold. I kept watching hoping it would get better but it didn't.

There was something off. The story was not as interesting as it could have been and the acting felt very acted out (I could not feel the emotions of a lot of the characters, they did not feel genuine).

I could go into detail as to everything that was wrong with this one but I have already wasted so much time watching it that I do not feel like wasting any more time.

To sum it up, this was just another example of what happens when there is a good idea but terrible execution.

True. It has several genres so it is normal that it did not focus on the romance. I know some people watch only for the romance which is why I mentioned people watching only for the romance might be left disappointed. The romance is only a part of it and is not even the best part.

They keep focusing on the wrong things and adding side plots and characters no one cares about. The rating is low for a reason.

And that teaches us a lesson too. Do not judge a book by its cover. People in our lives that we might think are arrogant or antisocial might just be going through things we do not know about.

Definitely. I think she saw herself in each and every one of them which is why she never wanted to give up on them. Giving up on them would be like giving up on herself. Everytime she healed one of them she also healed a bit of herself. The psychological aspect of this drama was one of the highest points.

Yup, only the ML had decent parents.

Qin Ao's father was not bad either, he was just overworked as a single father working a lot and having a son that is a bit rebellious.

Yes. Although closer to the end of the drama we find more things about their past that kind of explain why she is like that but at the same time it is not an excuse for her to act like that.

Only people who watched that scene will understand. XD This drama had so many memorable moments.

Yup. It is both heavy and wholesome at the same time, I liked that part and the matches they played more than the romance and I usually watch dramas for the later. ^^'

I started watching this about a week after the world cup ended. I am not a huge fan of football (aka soccer) but there was a particular match from this year's world cup that really got me into it - the match between Argentina and Cabo Verde. Cabo Verde played so beautifully, had such great teamwork, I thought if this is what real football is like I wanna keep watching. Even tho they lost that match, in my heart and I am sure in the hearts of a lot of people, they were the true winners.

The football part was one of the reasons that I decided to watch this one but usually I watch for the romance. The thing is, the romance here was the part that I least cared about. I did not see a whole lot of chemistry between the main leads and the romance was clearly not the focus of the drama.

So if you want to watch solely for the romance, you might be disappointed, but if you have even a little bit of interest in football or like dramas that explore mental health and slice of life kind of dramas, then you will probably like it. There were some real life lessons shared and this drama was really wholesome.

P.S. - The last extra video from the bts with the actors playing with the dog was really cute, I am glad they included that.

Yup. I kinda knew I would not love it from watching the first few minutes. It gave off short drama vibes right away, the script, directing and editing felt low budget even tho it probably wasn't since the FL shows up with a lot of different pretty dresses throughout the whole thing. It was one of the few things they did well - outfit choices.

I will not say you are wrong because I know people do that, some will even watch a few minutes and drop the drama right away BUT I was one of those who watched the whole thing out of respect for the actors and because I hate leaving things unfinished. It was not all bad or I would not have forced myself to watch the whole thing and maybe I would be a bit more forgiving if this aired back in 2010 but with so many great dramas out there, this one stood out for all the wrong reasons. The actors deserved a better script.

Not everyone has a lot of free time to watch dramas so for those people, spending the little time they have watching this one when they could be watching something better seems like a waste of their time. Which is why I do not recommed this drama to anyone, unless like I said, that person has A LOT of free time on their hands.

He is badly hurt after a confrontation with one of the bad guys but could still try to get out of there, he had a wife and son waiting for him, but gives up and stays to die in an explosion/fire. Most supporting characters also die way before that and in really frustrating ways.

As he dies he thinks about the life he could have had with the FL if their lives were not so messed up. The ending is even worse than the rest of the drama.

True but the rating was already lower than usual way before that.

I was surprised that after the first few episodes aired the rating was already on the lower side of a 7 when usually a drama that is so anticipated and with such a popular cast will be at least over 8.5, some even reach 9.

Last week it was 6.9 and after the last few episodes were released it went down to 6.7 so the ending itself only lowered the rating by 0.2

This is the lowest rated drama that any of these actors have starred in. ^^'

Please, don't. Do not waste your time.

The cast is great, I anticipated this drama too but tried to keep my expectations low but even if you keep your expectations on ground level, let me tell you the level of this drama is below the ground. It is short vertical drama bad and even some short dramas can be better than this.

I agree but when you think that there are short vertical dramas that can be better than this it is hard to rate it anything above 7. I think if the writers were not set on ruining it right until the end, the rating might have been a bit better.

Thank you for getting a laugh out of me after having watched that atrocious ending.

Well...with such a great cast I went in thinking the same, surely people are being too critical, it cannot be THAT bad....I was wrong.

So, to keep it short, EVERYONE dies except for the FL. The ML also dies in a really dumb way, specially after all the talk about wanting to be there for his son and building a complete family.

By the end of the drama you are left feeling empty and not in a good way, not in a wow, this ending was so beautifully tragic that I cannot stop crying and will never forget this drama but more like ugh, why did I even waste hours of my life watching this?
