I did not like any of Hong Sisters' dramas: I found them too messy. So, even though the cast and the story look promising, I will wait for it to finish airing before watching! I do not want to be disappointed once again....
Thank you for saving me from watching the rest of this drama. I've been trying to find something japanese to watch, in order to get acquainted with jdramas but so far no luck. I watch the first episode finding them lacking and go onto another drama with the same result. As you did, I find problems with the way the jdrama treats female characters: first to die, childish, sex object, weak, second class citizen. This is really offputting! I don't know whether it is a cultural thing but I just cannot stand it! So I guess I'll be giving jdramas a wide berth in the future! BTW, you wrote a brilliant and detailed review!
Someone recommended this drama to me as a gateway into jdrama. So I started watching it! But the idea that a girl goes to NURSING instead of MED school is somehow such an repulsive cliché for me. I know that I, with my western norms and ideas, shouldn't judge other cultures. This is based on a manga as well. Perpetuating such clichés is somehow wrong....
It is really good. I was pleasantly surprised. Writing, acting, production...I mean everything is top notch. Shame it was not promoted properly and ended up with a shortened run. We get a steady stream of mediocre series when they should try harder to make a quality product such as 55:15, The Miracle of Teddy Bear and Bad Buddy. With RakDiao they are the only ones worth the time spent watching this year....Quality NOT quantity! When will they understand it?
waaaaaahhhhh,,,,,,,what a pathetic ending this one.2521, Again My LIfe and My Liberation Notes are the 3 most…
You live and learn: do not watch currently airing dramas! Wait for them to finish airing if you do not want to be disappointed by the unsatisfactory ending!
This is so good. Definitely NOT what I thought I was going to see i.e. a BL. It is a coming of age story of a gay young man in a society still plagued by prejudice! it could have taken place anywhere in the world! And the Queen tracklist was perfect! I don't like the title because it makes you believe this is a comedy. It is everything but that! The power of a good title : makes you watch or not! I had this on my PTW list for over a year!
Unfortunately, I did waste my time on this,waiting for it to get amazingly good as everyone raved. And though at one moment it did pick up as I had high hopes that Third had finally given Kai the boot, I was sorely disappointed! Everything you wrote, went through my mind while watching this disaster! The only thing I liked were the episode titles taken from famous romcom movies. I wish I had read your review before as I usually read the reviews rated below seven! You rated it too high!
BTW, you wrote a brilliant and detailed review!
