I like it well enough. It's got an old school charm to it. I recently finished Love is Sweet (with Bai Lu and Luo Yunxi, who have unbelievable chemistry), and I enjoyed that one too.
Qian Fei and Li Yifei have become friends/partners against all odds, and surprisingly peaceful roommates despite all the shenanigans. With 36 episodes, there is plenty of time to develop their romantic attachment. There's a certain charm to the friends-to-lovers trope when both of them start out with zero romantic feelings for each other.
I will miss this drama. It was a funny and oddly nostalgic weekly watch. It brought me back to my not-so-distant high school days—the friends I'll love forever, the teachers we both liked and hated (and sometimes had silly crushes on), and acting like reading fanfiction was some kind of confidential matter we had to keep to ourselves.
I'm always wary when they go and try to remake a drama that's already perfect (and with such a timeless soundtrack too). It's like the rumoured American Squid Game universe project. Just turn on the subtitles and enjoy the ride.
People who don't watch J-dramas are missing out on a lot of great stuff. Ironically, Netflix has a great Japanese drama catalogue, including Unnatural.
This drama may seem ordinary at first glance, but I don’t think there’s anything else quite like it. It’s as if a uniquely warm light surrounds every scene. I’ve rewatched it many times (it’s my go-to whenever I’m sick and need some bed rest), and it never gets old. I’m glad it exists.
I burst into tears when all the cells appeared. I hadn’t realized how fond I’d grown of this story. It was both such an entertaining and heartwarming journey, and I loved this final season the most.
I can't believe this is ending so soon, why couldn't we have at least 10 episodes? I'm watching more airing K-dramas now than I have in years, and this is one I don't want to let go of.
This drama is like a cup of warm tea, a must-watch for the romance/slice of life enjoyer. Excited to see more of Natsumi and Takimasa-sama and Fukami and Fumiko this fall season.
I've always felt Kwak Dong-yeon was underrated, he's a very versatile and charming actor who has been around for quite some time without getting a big break. He also has a distinctive look, which I think is always an advantage for an actor.
I think this might turn out to be my favorite season...? It's such a breezy comfort watch. The actors are good, the cells are funny. There is also a sense of comfort in knowing we won't get a breakup arc this time lol
I can relate to Shin PD a lot as a fellow homebody, and it was cool to see his cells. People always act so surprised when they get to know an introvert better 😭 I've had people tell me they didn't expect me to be so nice and I'm like... is that a compliment or an insult...? It's just that keeping a smiling face and trying to make small talk are such draining tasks.
I really tried, but this is just so dreadfully tedious (even for someone like me who enjoys a lot of “boring” slice of life stuff). The characters are dull and I couldn't find it in myself to care about them. There are literally hundreds of better works about the dating lives of women in their 30s that are just as realistic, but far more engaging.
