Yeah, and it kind of made me mad that they never thought of not bringing the cat inside the bus knowing it was going to explode. The poor kitten became barbecue so many times. And technically, the kitten should have entered the loop too. XD

No worries. I understand your frustration. I watched this over 3 years ago so maybe I was not as bothered by the FL’s dumb decisions. But by now I have watched many smart and brave FL’s so I would probably be as frustrated as you if I had only watched this drama now. ^^'

Are you watching City of Streamer? I have only watched a few episodes but so far the FL seems to be smart, elegant and kind hearted without letting people step all over her or ruining her plans.

I have watched only 6 episodes so far and although this is not a bad drama I can understand why some people are complaining. I have not read the novel but I have read comments about how the novel is different and even without having read the novel, I feel that the production of this drama was kind of lazy.

The CGI, the editing, the way the actors were told to portray the characters, there are several issues with this drama. As someone who has not read the novel I can still ignore these faults and enjoy the drama as a whole, but for the people who read the novel I imagine it must be a hard task when you have certain expectations and they are not met. Even I feel this drama is lacking in some ways.

The one thing that bothers me the most is the way the characters are being portrayed and the editing does not help with that. On episode 4 or 5, there was an event that was supposed to be heartbreaking and make you tear up, but the way it was acted out and the editing made it so normal, I guess, that I felt nothing. It was like, ok, that just happened. And then they moved on to the next scene like it was no big deal.

If I had written this story and it was adapted to a drama and they did this, I would be so mad.

I watched this over 3 years ago so I cant really defend my comment since I barely remember this drama. But from reading my own comment, after that sentence I said:

"I am not saying after that she turns out to be the smartest of them all, but she does learn with her mistakes and starts thinking twice before taking any actions."

So I basically said that the FL was a complete idiot for the first 20 episodes or so but then had some character development and got BETTER. I never said she stopped doing stupid stuff and making wrong decisions. What I said was she was the worst in the beginning but then started to learn something from her mistakes and was not as bad for the rest of the drama.

About her exchanging lives, like I said, I watched this over 3 years ago so I don't even remember that happening and cannot comment on that. ^^'

I think it can be both. The ending definitely intended to show that Nisa and the people in her world also live in a game. I thought it was a nice twist and made things more logical. It would be impossible for Akin to come into the human world, but if they were both characters in 2 different games, then them being able to enter each others worlds would make a lot more sense.

I am not sure if they are planning to make a sequel, but the way it ended definitely leaves room for that to happen.

Let me know when the last 2 episodes are subbed.

The 3rd option on the "Where to watch..." section (CN Drama) has eng subs but they are not that great.

Let me know when this gets subbed. I have not watched the other one yet because I want to watch both perspectives one after the other.

Yeah, seems like that to me. I might have watched if it was subbed when it came out, but now I dont really feel like watching it anymore. I cannot appreciate this kind of cheesy drama anymore. ^^'

I am not really a fan of dramas that focus too much on music and it also seems like this was filmed some years ago so it will probably feel old and cliche.

So is the romance or some other element about it interesting enough for it to be worth watching?

Thank you so much for taking the time to summarize the story. It definitely sounds like something I would watch if I had nothing else to watch and that I would keep fast forwarding. Since I have quite a lot of dramas to watch and I am quite busy studying programming, it would be a waste of my time to watch this. You just saved me a lot of time. Again, thank you. ^^

How wrong is the synopsis compared to the actual story? I am still deciding if I am going to watch it or not.

Probably was talking about both 2nd leads as in the second female lead and the second male lead.

There are short dramas and then there is this. It was as if someone was telling you a story and that person had to be somewhere else in 30 minutes and was trying to tell the story as fast as humanly possible. If you blinked, you probably missed half of the drama. ^^'

So, 2 months and still only 1 episode came out? And this is a short drama too. Good thing I did not start watching yet.

In the original version the father of the FL also looked like a villain for a long time.

It was actually better than I expected. It has been quite some years since I watched W so I could remember some things but not remember all the details to the point I would compare both versions, so I could give this one a fair shot.

I would probably have to re-watch the original but from what I remember I think they are both on the same level, one is not better than the other, they are just different and have their own charm.

I have been disappointed by most Thai attempts at remaking Korean and even Chinese dramas, but this one was unexpectedly good. It was not perfect, which is why I rated it 8 and not 9 or 10, but it was pretty good. Just try to watch it without comparing it to the original and definitely dont watch one right after the other, as the one you watch first will feel new and the other one will feel like more of the same. I always watch remakes years apart so I dont compare them too much.

Yes. I have not watched it yet but it is subbed on dramanice.

No. As far as I know it is still not subbed.

Wow. I have been watching dramas for over a decade, c-dramas for about 7 years and I can count on my 10 fingers how many c-dramas were as good as this one. The story was interesting, I felt all kinds of feelings while watching it, the ending was almost perfect, there is so much I could say but I dont want to spoil it.

Keeping it 15 episodes long instead of the usual 24, 36 or even 40 episodes was a smart move. I can tell from experience that even c-dramas with the best start tend to suffer from having too many episodes and I am glad they kept this one short so I could give it the so well-deserved rating of 9.

Why did I not give it a 10? Well, I rarely give a drama a 10 and although this was definitely an amazing drama, I felt they could have done some things better. Like, we knew more about the background and family of some of the characters on the bus than what we knew about the main leads. And the loop thing, in my opinion, was not properly addressed. Also, the ending was almost perfect...but again, it was almost. I felt they could have showed a little more of certain characters that I will not name since it could be considered a spoiler.

So yeah, there were some things that stopped me from giving it a full 10, but if I had rated it based on enjoyment only, I would have definitely given it a 10.
