Some of you are obsessed with a very specific type of chemistry. Of course she's not going to get into a new relationship being as carefree as before after being cheated on and basically left at the altar. The experiences you have change you, this is not a "mistake" on the part of the writers', it's good, realistic writing and true to how people act in real life. It doesn't "take away from the chemistry", it just means that the chemistry is of a different kind.
Hakyung wants someone dependable; she wants not to repeat the mistakes of the past. Of course she's more careful and guarded, who wouldn't be after what Kijoon put her through?
i’m honestly underwhelmed with the chemistry of the FL and the ML. despite being a horrendous relationship and…
Chemistry is subjective. I think the FL and the ML have a very comfortable chemistry which makes it apparent why they were drawn to each other so quickly. You sense that they are at ease with each other, despite their past scars and fears of betrayal. Not all sparks are like a thunderstorm or a hurricane, sometimes the spark is warm and soft, like the first day of spring.
It seems silly to complain about the romance being "fast". Not every k-drama needs a slow burn romance. Variety is good. If you prefer slow-burn dramas, then by all means watch one. But there are many of us who don't want to wait 12 episodes for a kiss. There's so much you can do when the romance starts early, that you couldn't do if the show is nearly done when they finally get together. It's refreshing to me.
I don’t understand the way Netflix are releasing their kdramas. I’ve had to watch both this and Our Beloved Summer illegally because it doesn’t drop on Netflix in my country until months later. This doesn’t premiere in my country until March 20. It’s like they don’t understand the world is global now, lol
Judging on the first episode, this doesn't hold a candle to Semantic Error when it comes to production values, direction and acting, but feels more like typical BL fare. Still pretty cute, though.
Judging on all the moaning about episode 3 (short, rehash of previous episodes etc.), I'm glad I waited to watch. Will do 3 and 4 in one go later today instead. Ideally, this is a show I would binge, because then it all comes together more nicely, but I don't have the patience to wait that long.
Now this is good. This is very, very good. This is what I've been waiting for and indeed expecting from South…
Definitely the best BL drama I've seen in terms of production quality. The acting is solid too and it doesn't feel as bare-bones and simple as other BLs I've seen. Script's better, too.
I love Yoo Ah-in, but I couldn't finish this. Amateurish writing. The first three episodes were okay, but hardly great, and the less said about the rest, the better. Very basic, barely any subtext. If you're going to make this kind of show, you need to have something interesting to say beyond the very obvious take on cultism, hero worshipping and damnation that we've seen a million times before.
im really enjoying this drama so far and Song Kang is just so Ugh! ridiculously good looking at every angle lol…
Haha, I just finished It's Okay to Not Be Okay before starting this, so I was thinking about that. But I like the actress, so I don't mind. And it must be hard for actresses of a certain age to avoid the supporting "mom" role, as many dramas don't have other roles that fit them.
Finally watched the first episodes and really enjoyed it. I love the weather station setting and the main pairing so far. It seems like it'll be fast-paced, which I like. Hope it can keep up the momentum!
Is it normal for ratings to spike like this? It's gone up with every episode. Nationwide was 4.5% for the first episode, and 7.8% for the fourth one. That's like more than a 70% jump. Impressive!
