i love the big 6 and while i did enjoy this drama, i wish they pushed it further considering the cast. something with a little more heart and bromance bonding and deep stories. kinda like a waikiki thing.
euh i'm sorry y'all but the non consent scenes are just too disturbing to enjoy this, Gu hai is a major red flag…
THANK YOU. i feel like i'm going crazy seeing all the comments and reviews not even mention the SA and non consent this so blatantly has. i feel like people would be outraged if it wasn't two male characters and a man was doing it to a woman tbh.
i'm not watching this out of nostalgia or anything, but even though i'm still early in, it's genuinely so good so far. SO much happens in each episode it's crazy.
finally finished and overall i felt pretty disappointed. as a big fan of lusi, i hoped this would be a cute easygoing historical fluff with a swoonworthy lead and adorable moments. however, the writing quickly dove into contrived nonsensical plots, some of the most infuriating characters, and a fml who cannot stop causing trouble to save her life. ML is great outside of THAT scene which almost ruined the character for me. the plot does little to further the isekai trope.
on a positive note, i think everyone did a fantastic job acting. lusi played her character extremely well and certainly made for many memorable moments. generally, i think the lead couple had good chemistry too. there were also many lovable side characters like the two servants that absolutely made the drama. i also think eps 20-24 really turned the drama around right when it needed to. while i wouldn't say it was enough to redeem the dumpster fire of eps 12-19, i did quite like the ending albeit a little rushed imo.
overall, i gave it a 5.5/10. maybe not my final rating, but that's how i'm feeling right after. the writing, tropes, misunderstandings, miscommunication all felt juvenile to me. if i summed it up, i'd say i felt more frustrated than fluff.
i'm not here to talk about the case at all. i'm here to say that hi! school love on was one of my first dramas. even though the drama wasn't great, i always thought she was such a wonderful actress with the most adorable personality. i was SO excited to watch her grow up into more mature roles and eventually become a household name. it was heartbreaking to never see her gain the traction in her later roles and then of course everything that happened in her personal life. it's truly tragic to see where the circumstances went from one of my first dramas to now. my heart goes out to her loved ones (for those that ACTUALLY care about her, who even knows atp?). i hope she rests in peace now and that she gets any justice she deserves. hi! school love on will forever hold a special place in my heart.
I think MDL should implement a policy that NO news articles related to the DEATH of an actor/actress are listed…
unfortunately i don't think that's possible though. it's more of a tag system than direct linking. since they refer to her name in the articles, they have to link to her profile, hence the direct connection to it. i understand the sentiment though.
does this have as much violence as weak hero did? i kind of got taken out of weak hero cuz of the amount of fighting to the point where it felt TOO unrealistic. is this one any better?
only on ep 16 so my opinion may change later, but i don't really like many of the characters. ML is great ofc,…
okay on ep 21 now and the writing is lowk insufferable. i'm still holding onto hope for the last few eps, but not much. i'll leave my thoughts once i finish, but wow. i really thought i'd love this drama.
