this drama really gives me similar vibes to mr. queen tbh. the slapstick comedy, the over-the-top female lead, the serious yet warm-hearted male lead, the back-and-forth with VERY unlikable villains, some star-crossed lovers romance, kind of revenge, the quick mood/genre changes, and even the longer series length. i can't stop thinking about how similar they are now ever since i made the initial comparison.
this isn't the type of drama you can call "good" or "bad," people just enjoy watching it. it's a lighthearted, cliché, and comical romance. it's not gonna be a masterpiece so no need to go into it expecting one, even if it has high praise or a high rating. if you don't like it, it's just not your thing or you were expecting something else. doesn't mean it sucks. let people like what they like. sometimes it's nice to just turn your brain off and watch a cute fluff.
i don't really understand why they built the second lead so much instead of the main lead. they could've given at least a few more scenes to sort of justify why fml likes him, but like.......while i thought it ended nicely, it really took me out of it around eps 10-15 cuz it made absolutely no sense to me. at one point i nearly forgot he was the main love interest. at least eps 16-20 picked the show back up. vivian is a great actress, i must say.
the ending was definitely not as bad as other kdramas i've seen. yeah it didn't feel complete, but it's wayyyyyy better than having some bad/sad/lame ending.
but what ever happened to sunghoon's proposal? did she just not accept or something? lol
I was just thinking the same…..how exactly and why is he a top Hallyu star when he’s really hasn’t done…
i do love him a lot, but wow. when you think of him you'd only really think of iotnbo, my love from another star, moon embracing, and maybe dream high and secretly greatly. and while the first three are no doubt huge dramas, it's strange to think that those three alone are able to make him the highest paid korean actor compared to countless other popular actors with subjectively more impressive resumés.
Not only would it have broken and stopped the time-loop , but even collapsed the entire Timeline of the plane…
omg thank you so much for your in-depth response. i think i understand it again? everything is ringing a bell LOL, but wow time travel is so freaking complicated.
but let's say LZW in 2019 was just like "no i don't want to get on the plane, i just want to go live with HYX" and then continued in the 2019 timeline. i know this would prevent the time loop from happening again where he goes back into his original 2008 body and it would prevent ever saving MJJ or CYR, but would it technically be possible? wouldn't HYX just remain in her own body and LZW remain in WQS's body in 2019? (just a hypothetical question)
what would've happened if younger LZW didn't get on the plane though? i know it would've broken the time loop, but what negative repercussions would it have had? it's not like LZW knew HYX was going to be able to save CYR so why didn't he ever just refuse to get on? (it's been a while since i watched so i'm trying to remember what happened and why)
This description is confusing. Much romance, happy ending?
a good amount of cute romance and a bittersweet ending. it's not exactly happy, but there's a little bit of hope in the last few mins. i'd say that despite the ending, the main couple are worth it though
i'm a little surprised they went with AHS. i love him to death, but i've never seen him in as playful of a role as LZW, though i'm sure he can pull it off. now i'm wondering if they're gonna tone down the korean ml now and go with a more melo direction or if they're gonna crank up the comedy to be more like a romcom
it's crazy how he's one of the most popular actors (a household name) and the #1 on the flower leaderboards since it even came to exist, despite only having like 6-7 significant roles
To be honest, i think that's more on their culture. I asked my teacher from China once about it, when we visited…
of course there are rehearsals, but they still take multiple takes as with any other film set. they'd rather film more takes than needed to be able to use for editing. there's nothing worse than editing with too little footage.
food can sit out for a long time on set and not necessarily taste the best. imagine they have to eat a whole plate of old, cold food for a scene and then they take 3 more takes. that's too much. sometimes food isn't even real either, made purposefully for the camera to look pretty. eating food also has the potential to ruin makeup and such. what if they ate noodles and dropped it on their costume/outfit? BIG PROBLEM. it's just not worth it sometimes when they can fake eat.
although i find it funny when they order a whole buffet worth of food and take two bites then leave the rest LOL

at least i'll be able to watch the rushed one lmao.
