OMO - I just posted about a third pair. A few others from my end - I have made the posts for them all in case anyone wants to check the photos. What do others think? Are they similar or am I delulu 🤣
Since the show is ending soon (today/tomorrow)...is it a BINGE or SKIP?I am a fan of historical/reincarnation/revenge-to-lovers…
Thank you - @xmag @Gone @SandGirl_Nicky @kaysi_mochi @Kate for your inputs. Really appreciate them!
Basis your opinions, other reviews and comments today - I think I will park this drama. The negative/neutral factors outweigh the positives 😅. Onto other dramas then for the Christmas break!
Since the show is ending soon (today/tomorrow)...is it a BINGE or SKIP?
I am a fan of historical/reincarnation/revenge-to-lovers trope but am skeptical as for this drama the Reviews/Comments are mixed here, so would really love to know from those who are about to finish it.
But let me know if:
1) Is the story is good - tight plot, good cliffhangers, fleshed out characters and not draggy? 2) is the mystery engaging throughout, not over the top or worse predictable? 3) is the romance believable or just another cardboard cut-outs placed in the same frame? 4) were you excited within the first 2 episodes or not?
It's the end of the year & a break coming up soon, I rather use my time well, and hence asking 😊🙏🏼
P.S. I don't mind MINOR Spoilers - but if you do share, please use the spoiler tag. TIA! P.P.S: I don't love, but like/am okay with the main leads of this drama - having seen their other work (Penthouse, Extraordinary You, Taxi Driver, VIP) and appreciate them.
It's December and still waiting for Ep 7 and onwards to be subbed T_T Really hope the subber has recovered from their injury and take up this task again. I feel guilty for asking this - but then this show was going so great
Anyone know the latest news or any other place where it is out with subs?
1. Did Ha-Eun really travel to all those places in real? If so, when did she do that? I am confused - as I thought…
Hi - Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Really appreciate the time you took to go through my questions and share your views!
It has been a while since I watched the film and posted the question. In between I have gone through other MDL Comments. Reddit posts and other drama blogs etc. Along with your views as well - I am in a better place now, in terms of understanding where earlier I stood confused, so thank you for that. While some of the character's choices still remain questionable in my eyes - it is all good, cause that's my perspective and I now understand others' view of it as well.
In the end, as you mentioned - this movie can be interpreted differently by different viewers, and I think that is one of the points that is beautiful about this narrative! h❤️
You might be right - like Grandpa either has a vision or remembers his past....He definitely knows more than he…
Ikr! both the possibilities could be there and I can't wait for it all to unravel. I am so glad that it is actually 12 episodes only and not the usual 16/20 format - so we are halfway there already!
But yes, bottomline remains - Grandpa is definitely sus, he is not sharing all that he knows ....
Thank you Niki for reading it - and glad to know there's another one in a similar boat. I am sure like me, you…
Thank you for your kind words - inspires me more to write reviews that resonate with other watchers (while also developing my writing habit ;)
The moment cast was announced, I was already excited to BWS as the antagonist. I had seen him only in 20th Century Girl by then, but had seen the trailers of his other work. In all I felt he could have done a lot more cause he is talented. So while am sad for the ending of RSO, I am glad that this project is giving him the exponential growth/limelight that he deserves.
As for the character RSO - well, in my mind I am already thinking of a spin-off/alternate tale for him. Hopefully along with my other writings based on dramas and their characters I can publish it for many others to read. But that is a very precise word - catharsis. There are so many ancient Greek tragedies and plays that have used this, and I guess we wanted that RSO should have his moment too! Alas it did not, but the impression made by BWS through RSO will be memorable for all watchers I am sure!
Omg my thoughts exactly!!!!!!!! and yes the only 10 in this drama was Byeon Woo Seok/Ryu Shi Oh ♥
Thank you Niki for reading it - and glad to know there's another one in a similar boat. I am sure like me, you must have also anticipated so much from this show - but the only thing great about it was BWS!
Grandpa is super sus! He has a ton of items from Joseon, he asked KTH to send PYW back to "Italy", he got mad…
You might be right - like Grandpa either has a vision or remembers his past.... He definitely knows more than he is telling but I cannot figure out yet, what it is ....
Regarding the curse - that KTH has to marry anyone but PYW may not be true. I feel cause he was the only one at the wedding, he could have easily stopped the wedding then and there somehow, rather than let them get married if this was the case.
I think it is the other way - he is trying to protect them. He knows the step mother wants to break them apart and would go to any lengths to hurt them - like physically as well. Maybe Grandfather knows that they were ill-fated in the past, and hence he is trying to protect the present KTH & PYW. This is why he is suggesting that PYW does not do things (like prepare for the first anniversary event) or be in limelight (announcing that she is his wife) or in any way instigate the step-mother. Maybe that is why he suggested that she goes back to Italy or not join company activities.
There is just too much mystery and I can't wait for new episodes to air! This is such a great show!
week on week, this drama just keeps getting better. I really hope this continues till then. I know it will end in Jan 2024 - but I feel this would be one of the best dramas of 2023, basis the story/cast acting/mystery/romance/comedy so far ❤️
To, People who have not started this drama & are waiting to start
Please, please binge it! The show is actually great - story, cast, cinematography - everything is well executed so far. The one episode/week is the only thing sucking the magic from this drama. You will enjoy it more if you watch it in one go or don't have to wait for the next episode (whose airing timing is uncertain at times)
Sincerely, Watcher who decided to see it as it airs & now in pain!
I have lost count of how many dramas I have seen him in. At this young age itself he has proved his mettle. He is already a great actor and I hope this run does not stop for him, and he only continues to grow!
K just finished it, held back the tears but omg! Seeing Miura Haruma smile and happy proves what a great actor…
I am a big fan of Haruma Miura - when the news broke in 2020, for a while I thought it is a fake news, given it was pandemic and people are going crazy online. Took me a while to accept it.
I just finished rewatching the drama again in Dec 2023 and I am again a puddle of happy and sad tears. Happy that I can still watch him through his work, smiling and handsome in all his glory and talented beyond words. Sad that we cannot have him create more of his magical work. Someone who is gone too soon and now we as an audience are truly at loss for losing someone as amazing as him.
Can only hope he is resting in peace! 💖
I strongly second your message - please do not bottle up things inside. If anyone reading this is suffering, please take heart. At MDL we might be strangers - but sometimes even kind words from the unknown can help - so please reach out 🙏🏼
That Hasegawa Shima's character is a real slut. Having sex in a public toilet with a different random guy every…
She did not have sex with him, he has ED - so they get undressed but don't do the deed. Also when she seduced him she did not know he was her friend, Miki's husband.
Their mistake was even after the truth was known - they kept meeting up... And yes, even if it is drama they exaggerated the meetups through the ED angle and tried to make it hilarious, but it was not right.
For Miura Haruma... I am watching this drama again in December 2023 - it is not a flawless drama but so adorable. My heart loves seeing Haruma again, and yet aches at the same time...
Why did he have to go away soon? I wish he could tried to fight all the negatives & someone could have known to help him. Such a talented and beautiful man, who had so much more to offer - just gone away too soon! Seeing his old shows makes me realise what a loss it is for us in losing him.
Knowing more about the hardships he has in his personal life, I can only hope he is resting in peace ❤️🙏🏼

Hence now I come to read review and comments - but they are not always spoiler free T_T

In 2013 - FL was 40 years and ML (Haruma) was 23 IRL
Also when she seduced him she did not know he was her friend, Miki's husband.
Their mistake was even after the truth was known - they kept meeting up...
And yes, even if it is drama they exaggerated the meetups through the ED angle and tried to make it hilarious, but it was not right.
I am watching this drama again in December 2023 - it is not a flawless drama but so adorable.
