JUST TO LET EVERYONE KNOW... IF YOU'RE WATCHING THIS ON NETFLIX, THEY CUT OFF SO MANY IMPORTANT AND FUNNY SCENES...…
Even on the 'illegal' streaming sites, Ep. 18, 19 and 20 have censored Netflix video (with I guess uncensored audio) instead of tVN. Many things are blurred out.
Was about the post the same.The pixelz are much uglier on Dramacool = Dramanice = whatever, but it's like 20-30%…
They're all the exact same thing. Literally the same video file/link. On Kissasian, it asks me if I want to continue from the timestamp where I was on Dramacool. (Just that 'Dramanice' is bad because they have forced adverts every ~27 minutes! I assume Kissasian doesn't?)
I haven't watched any of its prequels, Can I directly watch 199?
What is "199"? The production order is 1997 -> 1994 -> 1988. I didn't watch 1994, but I know 1994 "spoils" 1997 a bit due to having characters from it appear. 1988 shares some actors, themes, story elements with 1997.
On Netflix or other legal streaming sources, all have lots of blurring and replaced music. Rarely entirely removed scenes.
For anyone who didnt like this drama, can you please tell me why (without spoilers)? I want to watch something…
Sure.
There's virtually no plot, endless filler scenes, the most unfunny comedy imaginable with stupid animal noises as laugh track. Every "moral of the story" the show wants to sell is repeated ad-nauseam, over and over again, until even somebody who's playing a multiplayer online game at the same time will be forced to comprehend it – and then it's usually reinforced yet another time with a voiceover track.
Episode 2 is one of the most boring things I've seen in my entire life.
P.S.: You shouldn't watch it on Netflix anyway, they cut out a lot of the charm (copyrighted music and such).
In the three part making of/special that's "Episode 1" on some illegal sites, there's a scene where the main characters are playing Dance Dance Revolution. Is that in the uncensored version of the show (*not* Netflix/YouTube/Viki/etc), or was it cut out entirely?
Omg I hated that so much to be honest. He was already an adult when she was still a little kid, how in the hell…
He doesn't date (and marry) "his students' friend" but an accomplished doctor who performed surgery on him before. It just so happens that she's also a crazy fan, but she's in no way a child. Otherwise you're spot on.
Ok so after watching this I have a lot of thoughts. First of all, taewoong. Just... no. He did too many weird…
As a heterosexual, I was pretty appalled how this was handled among the "dumb kids", when Yoon Jae refuses to take Jun Hee's feelings for him as anything but a joke.
And then disappointed how – after Yoon Jae found out by spying on a private conversation – he did absolutely zero, literally zero, to address this, or even apologize for his past behaviour. And the extra back hug later was the *exact same thing* he did during his "dumb kid" years!
Of course I'm writing this from my contemporary moral compass, I don't have one calibrated for the 90s or early 2000s and South Korea.
Anyway, it's 99% different from the respect shown to a transsexual in It's Okay, That's Love (2014).
In episode 1 what surgery did yoon jae went.& what cup size the man referred to .
This drama taught me that circumcision is (or was) widely performed on male *teenagers* due to post-WW2 US influence, instead of being done at birth for similarly hard to justify reasons, or merely when medically necessary as practiced in most of the civilised world.
Beyond two minutes of jokes it has no plot relevance. Perhaps it's also supposed to be a "nostalgic 90s thing".
It's probably in the bottom 25% of disturbing things in this show for me. :c
(I guess it's supposed to mirror the earlier scene when she unlocked his laptop and almost played a porn movie in his office. As for consent, it's hard to judge that with so much yelling and regular beatings between ML and FL, as well as her parents.
The first kiss on the school yard was definitely not consensual.)
How he was....both sisters were adults and later gonna marry a veteran doctor.
The first sister seems to be roughly his age, so there's no issue there. He was giving her private tutoring it seems, which is very different from being her school teacher in a position of power. The girl also pursued him first! It's perhaps an issue that this kind of teaching situation goes for both, and that he actually likes the younger sister only when she replicates things he remembers about the deceased sister.
But with the FL, he's her teacher, and IMMEDIATELY in the moment he retires from that post, he declares his romantic intentions to her. That seems really problematic. That her family might rely on his financial support might additionally wedge her into playing along with 'dating' when she has no feelings of that sort for him.
(As a bonus, the age of consent in Korea is higher now than when this was filmed, and Korea has an ancestral system of calling babies one year old at birth, so deciding how old these characters are might not be that easy.)
Are these WAY too close camera zooms where an actor's face fills the entire screen intended for the (small screen size) smartphone audience, as well as low-bitrate streaming, or is there any other reason for them?

Otherwise you're spot on.
I don't think "skip to episode 12" is sound advice, but I'm still quite bothered by what I had to watch before that.
