seriously why weren't the 'Hidden Love' actors chosen for this series?
I read a comment on IG how the different cast and personality can be explained by considering POVs.
In Hidden Love, Sang Yan is seen through his sister's eyes so it makes sense why he was goofy and not as π₯ as DJX. In First Frost we get to see Sang Yan's hidden side/ his pov which is why DJX isn't as π₯ as in Sang Zhi's pov and we see SY's hidden sensitive side (amongst other things).
I really enjoyed When the Phone Rings up to Episode 10. after that the ending was a mess. Iβm sorry but I feel…
The writer unfortunately had to cut out a lot of crucial scenes from ep 12 due to time constraints/ budget restrictions. The Argan chapter should ideally take 1 whole episode for instance since HJ was supposed to be there as a Sign Language teacher for months before she crossed paths with Sa Eon again.
Not sure if the writer was aware of the 12 episode limit when she wrote the script π
She did apologize though for the lack of quality in the Argan arc.
Mao saved Ando when they were young and Ando's been hopeless for her since then π€
Parents could be a possibility. It might be just a coincidence that Azuma got contacted since they seem to be from a similar standing.
I agree with your suggestion that Azuma might be pursuing Ando just for the challange. It's been mentioned several times that men tend to baby Azuma alot so Ando's aloof demeanour (and obvious preference to Mao) might have triggered her?
I don't think the ex is an option for Azuma anymore tbh. She isn't deluded by his weasel behaviour and she's ambitious. They might introduce her a new character may be? So far she hasn't really crossed the line so she isn't really a villain atm (I can't recall now if it was in Ikinari Kon or Igarashi where the SFL had a ONS with a superior's son but if it's from Ikinari Kon perhaps he could be her love interest? I might have confused the 2 dramas though!).
If you are looking for fluff or unserious moments with the MC, just try to hold on for a little bit more may be?…
Glad you gave it a chance! Hope you are still enjoying it π
Rotten parents are a given in WTPR so you are in for a treat π
I wasn't really familiar with CSB (the FL) before WTPR to be honest but her character grew on me. I just love how once she overcomes her fears, she's just unstoppable (specially with the kidnapper. She's his worst nightmare)π€
Mao saved Ando when they were young and Ando's been hopeless for her since then π€
Your theory sounds really possible honestly!!! Specially since they keep focussing on her cookingπ
Haha i think you'll be in luck if Ando gets saved from an illness! Jdramas aren't jdramas unless one of the leads are dying over a cold even (if sickness is part of the plot)π
Do you think Ando's family will cause a problem though? The whole status difference is abit daunting given how the annoying SFL feels like she can take advantage of it π π€π€π€
On the other hand, i wouldn't mind poking the ex with one of those lacquered chopsticks π€«
On a separate note though, do you find Azuma begrudgingly interesting? Idk if it's because the SFL in Igarashi is just beyond redeamable and rediculous, the Azumafeels more interestingπ π π
(TBF I think i might have unintentionally blamed igarashi's SFL with some of the rediculous things Azuma did since their objectives are so similar. May be it's the fact that Azuma didn't mince words when she called out the Ex's character infront of Mao that's made me bias. She's awful but blunt π )
I was so looking forward to watching this...And now I am just not feeling it. In the first episode alone, the…
Did you complete ep 1? Most of your points end up getting cancelled off because of the final twist in ep 1.
If you are referring to the fact that the FL's scenes are too quiet because there's no voice over her signing- this is only applicable for ep 1. From ep 2 onwards, we can hear her "thoughts" amongst other things.
Finally found time to start this and after just 1/2 hour this is giving me "Queen of Tears" vibes - married couple,…
If you are looking for fluff or unserious moments with the MC, just try to hold on for a little bit more may be? The main premise of the drama is that everything stems from miscommunication and lies so the fun you might be looking for will be available from ep 2 onwards.
Ep 1 might feel abit serious since they wanted to set the scene for the audience so we know how cold and soulless their marrital life was like in Heeju's POV before the kidnapper showed up and emphatize with Heeju.
Also if it's any consolation, the general tone switches from thriller too more romcom forward from ep 6 on wards (there is still thriller but it kind of takes a backseat as the MC 's story changes - sorry tried to be spoiler free so this might sound weird!).
About QOT- it may feel like that at firdt but it really isn't like QOT as the story progresses.
Random take, but can we appreciate SE's Make up artist's attention to detail?
Rather than hiding his dark circles, they made it a point to emphasize them in most of his scenes. Considering the fact that Sa Eon's been working non stop for the last 3 years (and plotting his revenge for much longer), the physical toll on his appearance was a nice touchπ
The only time they are not that visible is when he's happy with Heeju in fact π€
I didn't really give it much thought while watching the drama but after reading the Manwha, it makes so much sense since the artist makes it a point to draw dark circles in all his scenes too.
Mao saved Ando when they were young and Ando's been hopeless for her since then π€
Thanks for the heads up on Igarashi! Btw how did you watch ep 6? I can only access ep 5.
Did you watch ep 5? I'm beginning to lose my patience with the MLπ« . He keeps complaining that he doesn't know whats going on with the FL but doesn't put in the effort either. He's an easy rarget honestly. The FL deserves so much more. As for the SFL? Didn't think she could stoop any lower but voila! She found a new low bu not giving up, knowing that they are married now ππ. πππ
May be it's because we are watching both Igarashi and Ikinari Kon together, but I can't help liking Ando even more now...is it just me?π
True! I want to know how Mao saved Ando too. He's soooo tall, it's hard to imagine a scenario. Do you have a theory? π
The MC romance is also so wholesome considering how they started sowe need smooth sailing now π
You are so right about how inconsequential the Ex is. He's even more delusional than Azuma π π π
Hope you like "cursed in love". It has a nice blend between traditional and modern day Japan so it's interesting- and their confectionary products are soooooo pretty π
Mao saved Ando when they were young and Ando's been hopeless for her since then π€
Yessss! The Ex really had it comjng. For a moment there i really hoped he leant his lesson after Mao helped him, but some fools are just irredeemable π€¦ββοΈ
IKR?! I hope they at least share Ando's POV next week. Really curious to see how he saw those interactions. Seeing how hopelessly in love he is and how supportive the other supervisor is, it must be a really good backstory right? πππ
Ah well let's just hope the translations will be out soon. It's become a habit of mine now to check Igarashi...'s page. Really want to see ep 5 soon π
Did you hear about the misintepretation contravery? :)It's not difficult to test it on your own if you don't believe…
Glad to be back :)
Haha yesss!!! I love how you called Mao's apartment "her world". It really does feel like that, specially when Ando is there. Idk why but you don't really notice it with the Ex's scenes in the Apt. but with Ando, it just stands out π€π€π€
I'm guessing Azuma's going to get owned next week with the introduction of the new female character but I really hope that she's not going to be another rival. Mao's been through enough and they don't really have enough episodes to add more rivalry into the mix. What do you think?πππ
Btw I finally remembered the J-melo drama i mentioned awhile back (the makjang-esque jdrama with the ML from "your eyes tell"?)
It's called "cursed in love". 8 episodes and available on DailyM. It's a bit like what some people expected WTPR to be like i guess since in this drama, the FL starts off with the intention to solve a mystery and is out for revenge against the ML through deception. It can be a little dramatic though at times since it's based on a Manga. Not bad though if you are craving for some dramaπ
I do like how they still draw parallels between the 2 dramas- like an inside joke for HL fans π
In Hidden Love, Sang Yan is seen through his sister's eyes so it makes sense why he was goofy and not as π₯ as DJX. In First Frost we get to see Sang Yan's hidden side/ his pov which is why DJX isn't as π₯ as in Sang Zhi's pov and we see SY's hidden sensitive side (amongst other things).
Interesting theory i guess?

It was Netflix who twisted her writing (netflix corrected the subtitles so Paltima is 100% the victim).
The writer should have used different names but I really hope you also do your research properly before sending out cruel curses out at random people.
Lead by example- don't be a sheep.
(Apologies if I sound rude)

We'll finally see Ando's POV next week!
That being said, it does question who exactly threw Ando's name into the blind dating pool. Who do you think it could be?
The ex really is useless. I hope he remains as annoying as a useless flea in the next couple of episodes though. Nothing too violent π₯²π₯²π₯²
Btw have you seen the side episodes? The latest one is sweet (the one with Mao's friend)
Sol already knew OG timeline Sunjae's "first love" story and it's influence on him/ Eclipse but didn't know it was about HER.
She didn't want to meddle with his future beyond keeping him alive so she didn't want to steal his "first love" moment from him.

And did you see the silhouette of the guy in her flashback (from the last episode)?? He looked like Ando too right? Abiiit at least? π
Yesss- i watched ep 6! The way Mao slapped the Ex back to his senses (hopefully) was just amaaaaa-zing!πππ
