well this was exhausting too watch😔 first half was good but then the second half went downhill bad and didn't…
Finally someone who shares the same thoughts. Second half was unbelievably messy imo. Unclear storytelling and many convenient plot devices towards the end. The 2nd couple is extremely bland and such a bore to see on screen. Only saving grace for me was MiaoMiao, Ziqi and Cuicui.
Kor one is sort of a lighter ver of the original. (Understandable given the 16 eps)
Some points I do enjoy about Kor ver over the Chi ver: 1. Addition of Dal as a romantic interest for Haejun 2. The brothers feel more bonded 3. Closure regarding ML's mom felt more believable because it's not like she had a 180 personality switch (though her personality throughout the show was just unbelivably inhumane)
Depth of the Chi one wasn't beaten imo but I still enjoyed this watch. Would still recommend anyone to give both a try!
Side note: This adaptation benefited from me watching the Chi one first as the Chi one unintentionally filled it in with more context, depth and understanding. It helped to negate the overdramatism of the first 5 eps as I understood key events had to happen so quickly in succession with only 16 eps to work with.
I dislike severe miscommunication more than sad endings so for me, the 10 eps of tension based off 1 misunderstanding was too much. I had to just drop it at ep18 and read through the rest. I think the ending is pretty fitting given the theme of the drama. She's able to carry on his legacy and ways after all that growth.
At this point y’all admins should start removing or blocking these frustrated trolls who mask their hate as…
Exactly- I had some points about the show I didn't enjoy that much but the reason I completed it because it was still a decent watch. Leaving a comment or criticism after watching the drama in its entirety or even after dropping, is fine. However, hatewatching is a different matter.
In a comment I left, I called out people that came back EVERY EPISODE DROP with consistently nasty energy and comments. Because aren't they just being unreasonably hateful at that point? They love saying it's just valid criticism when they come back every week- just out to ruin the mood of those who do enjoy it.
One of them responded to my comment aggressively but blocked me after I replied.
What are YOU doing? If you're bothered by comments, do stop reading them and stick to watching the drama. Calling…
SORRY I stepped on your toes? People who come back after EVERY ep to complain are really just that- complainers. They did not like the show and expressed hate towards it. Don't put the word "haters" into my mouth when I did not use the term. HATE is diff from CRITICISM.
Giving valid criticism after watching something, whether it be after completion or dropping, is fine. Clearly, you have your own thing to work out. Reviewing is different from hatewatching lol.
And no shit it's not a fansite. I did not enjoy the drama in its entirety either.
I think they covered the topics of healing, growth and forgiveness well. The romance is a little too cringe for my taste but overall, a decent watch with good comedic moments (esp ML). Since romance is the main genre, I give it 7.5/10 because personally, I didn't find the 2 couples convincing.
To those that hated, nitpicked and complained from ep 1 all the way till the end--- what are yall doing? Stop wasting your own time and drop dramas that you aren't enjoying.
Edit: Dear roddib (MDL user), I am referring to people who hatewatch, and have something nasty to say after every ep drop. If you categorise those with people who express dislike after watching it fin, or dropping and giving their opinion afterwards, then I have nothing to say. We can agree to disagree.
Update: Roddib could not take any heat and decided to block me after being the aggressor.
How come so many say its "so bad" when its sitting on 8.8?
Some rate it high for the pure thrill and look of the show ig? Can give it a try and see if it suits your taste.
Imo, story and characters really fall flat compared to the stellar appearance and camera work. Pacing could also be improved. Hence, I can't help but rate it low atm (i'm only at ep 5 but both me and my dad are considering just dropping).
Sad that she had to marry young when she hadn't solidified her stance in the industry. Hope the director didn't…
Bruh she's 28, a VERY reasonable adult age to be marrying. Plus, she should have no problem continuing career growth after marriage lol? She's been acting for ard 15yrs- do you consider those who have yet to make a "big break" unworthy of finding love and tying the knot?
The webtoon seems well-received on Naver so hopefully they'll be able to translate it well into live action. Seems like one of those premises that's either going to be surprisingly great or straightup trash.
I was waiting for this drama to end to watch (liked the webtoon in the past, remember it fondly). Now I'm seeing the ratings drop off due to bad writing...
To those that do watch finish- please lmk if its worth it in the end LOL
Go Ahead handled the family genre better.
