Can someone explain why the average rating is so low? The story seems interesting, heartbreaking and something I would enjoy watching, but the low ratings are putting me off.

Japan is completely unpredictable. Sometimes they create dramas that are so well written that they break you and make you cry like a baby. Other times they make trash like this.

I feel like they were trying to give some sort of important message, which I more or less understood, but did so by using cardboard characters that were unlikable and not human like. The only character that I felt some sort of empathy for was Manabu. Everyone else I could not care about, including the female lead.

The ending felt like the writers tried to wrap their own poop with a fancy bow and offer it to us like it was some sort of treasure. Like, please, I am not that mother sister duo who have no brain cells. I am not taking your **** and saying thank you with a smile on my face.

Anyway, just go watch something else. This is most likely not worth your time.

People who gave this high ratings must be the same kind of people that know nothing about art but will go awww at a piece of junk put together in a museum just because someone told them it was created by a famous artist. But oh well, they also say a man’s trash can be another man’s treasure so...maybe they are right and I am just unable to appreciate this "masterpiece".

It is a good drama, just keep in mind that the romance is not the focus. Romance was even removed from the genres. It’s there, it plays a role, but it is not as important.

The focus is on school corruption, the rich trying to get away with everything with money and connections and honest people trying to clear their name and make all the corrupt people pay for their crimes. Also, about the importance of following your dreams, how negative it is for parents to put pressure on their kids and not actually listening to what they want, and so many other important and very real subjects.

I am not sure if I will watch this or not, but my question is...how can you trust a woman with the name PORNwalai to be faithful? Just wondering.

I am surprised the average rating is so high.

I personally did not really feel the chemistry between the main leads and found the story quite boring. Another problem I had was how instead of having one nutjob (which would be bad enough), they had 2 - Nita and Venice. The ML’s friend was close to being one, but she wasnt as bad. There were only a few characters I liked.

I would have preferred for it to be focused on their relationship and them being together as a family rather than drag it like they did.

With that said, it was not all bad. There were some things I liked.

I enjoyed it until a certain point but then it started to drag like most c-dramas do. It would have been much better in a 24 episode format.

Yeah, I watched the preview and it seems like something along those lines.

I am just worried the writers will pull something like her having a one-night stand with Cha Gun and getting pregnant and then saying she is pregnant with YG to force him to marry her. Or even just faking the pregnancy since she is already used to making things up.

I know they won’t actually get married....probably....but I am afraid this engagement thing will drag for a while. Hopefully not because I would rather see more of DD, YG and the children.

After watching episodes 27 and 28...my first thoughts were right. They ruined what could have been a perfectly good drama by making it a 50 episode long drama instead of 16 or 20.

They just dont know how to keep the story going so they keep adding extremely cliché tropes and wasting screen time on supporting characters that I dont care about like the stepmother, the aunt, ....

If I could go back in time and call the shots on this drama I would be like NO, NO. This is going to be 20 episodes long, we are going to remove this character and that character, and that one too, tropes like amnesia, truck of doom and separation are not allowed...actually, just fire the writer. I will write the whole thing.

If you are going to end the show pretty much the way it started, at least give the viewers some valuable lesson or something. This was one of the most pointless dramas I have ever watched. That Japanese dramas can be weird sometimes is nothing new, but this is not weird, its more like it shouldnt exist, there is no reason for its existence, to be more clear....it is a complete waste of time.

Short and cute. Just don’t watch on an empty stomach. XD

Even short dramas need some sort of focus or logic but this felt like the writer just threw together a bunch of loose ideas that were never used in other dramas and made this whole mess. Because it had so much of everything but so little development to each of it, the result was a romance that was not believable, a comedy that was not funny, characters that were not consistent, a story that made no sense and an ending that was as random as the rest of the drama.

I have watched a lot of short dramas or dramas with silly plots in the past, but this one got be one of the most ridiculous I have watched. I just did not see what was the point of creating this and honestly, the actors time was wasted here.

If you want a fluffy romance or a funny drama, there are better dramas out there.

There were some sub-plots and characters that I could have done without and that made this draggy at times, but overall it was an enjoyable drama with a good amount of cute and funny scenes between the leads, but mostly focused on the struggles ice skating athletes go through and how much hard work they put into their training.

The FL was very well written and was probably the most interesting character of the entire drama. There were some other nice surprises, like the coach/male lead’s mother who seemed like a very strict and cold person at first but was so much more than what I expected.

So yeah, I recommend this drama even if you have to do some skipping, like when Xiao Qing is on screen. XD

I confess I felt bored several times...but I also loved how strong and cool the FL was and liked most of the other characters. But was that enough? Probably not.

I feel like this could have been much better. The plot was draggy and it was hard not to skip several times. Although I liked most of the characters, the plot itself was not that great so I understand why some people have given it ratings of 6.

I am actually going to abstain from rating it just because I am having a hard time deciding how I feel about this one. So I will let people who are more clear about what they think about this drama influence the average rating.

Ahh, A Good Supper. Another train wreck I will not forget for a while. Drama logic sometimes is everything but logical.
Glad to know I am not the only normal person around here who is always questioning writers decisions. 🤣

This is problematic on many levels...but entertaining, as expected from Japan. lol
Btw, am I the only one who thinks that if this was real life Rize would have died by episode 2?

I loved and hated this drama at the same time. Near the end it was mostly hate.

My problem with this drama and with so many other dramas about the republican era is that there are always characters we like that die for no good reason and the villains’ punishment is too soft compared to all the pain and suffering they caused.

So I have a love-hate relationship with this drama and I am not sure I would dare watch it again.

Definitely a good one-time watch tho.

I doubt they will go to the trouble of fixing them. When people could contribute to the captions there was a chance of it happening, but YouTube removed that option. The only way we will get proper subs is if some fan decides to pick this drama.

Yes. Have they gotten any better?

To be honest, I don’t remember. I know by the ending they were kind of on the same side but I do not remember if their relationship was really bad or not. But like the synopsis says, they have "different political stances and beliefs", so there is a high chance they dont really get along.

Like I said in my comment, its not a bad drama but it is unnecessarily long so the romance is also slow paced. About the ending, if it was not a happy one I would be ranting after going through 70 episodes of this. XD
