this ship worked out well because they have great chemistry but the plot is so weak like my cat can cook up something better than this. i think they have 2 series lined up for 2025, i will watch one of them to decide whether i want to watch their future projects because no matter how good their chem is, plot is always more important for me. 7/10 for the fluff and fluff only.
so i watched all the released eps and it's generally okay i guess. i mean it's cute, it has handsome people, decent acting and good songs. one issue though, i can't help but cringe at how this series is so heavily influenced by kpop culture and how this whole debuting in korea is seen as a standard for success like???
so these scoundrels are the main leads??? they better have some well written character development because i am very close to smashing my phone out of anger 😐
ok it's actually good. i don't remember the last time i laughed this much while watching a drama but unfortunately i can't continue this because it's slightly more gore-ish(?) than what i can handle. i was constantly covering my eyes and felt like vomiting. these zombie dramas are always like fully horror and suspense but i mostly prefer horror comedy so this is exactly what i was looking for. too bad i am a coward :( other than that, it's interesting. i like the plot and the acting.
is it just me or some of william's dialogues sound like they were recorded in a studio? sometimes it just doesn't blend(?) well and i was constantly checking if there is something wrong with my earphones lol
that recap, oh god that was just so perfect. it's sad that han ting died before ji xing, but i guess that's just life. besides, they have had their happy years together :)
finally managed to finish it, let's see what i have to say.
let's start with wabi sabi and new siwaj. it's been a while. after their hit series uwma, i watched between us, which i dropped and maybe watched a few from new because he works with gmmtv a lot. i have to say wabi sabi productions and new siwaj didn't improve a bit. you can still see his signature dry humour, long silence, weak dialogues and awkward camera angles.
hill-ter, i originally started it because i liked pond in 180 degrees & century of love and even though i didn't have high expectations from wabi sabi, i was really looking forward to watch him pair up with earth. well, i started it as soon as the 1st episode aired and i thought it was good enough, and until 3rd or 4th ep it was all nice. then the damage started when they decided to stretch that tiny ass plot to fit in almost all the eps and i am like 'girl just get away from me'. even new probably knows their story doesn't have much to work with because why the hell did he arrange all the flashbacks in reverse and confused the fuck out of us? i was really disappointed and annoyed. and because of my annoyance, i started finding flaws whenever they are on screen. pond's acting was ok i guess and earth was so whiny all the time, i don't even remember anything about his acting. i watched their later screen time on 2x. overall, i give their story a 4.5 ⭐.
johan-north, i am going to be honest, their story is nothing groundbreaking but comparatively so much better than hill-ter. and i am so happy that the flashback scenes were handled well, like all together in a one ep. it made so much more sense. i just enjoyed watching it but it wasn't anything super special. acting is kinda ok i guess and here too, north is a whiny ass character but since i wasn't super annoyed or anything i am going to be generous and give their story an 8⭐.
fah-phoon, these bitches be cooking. that sexual tension is amazing and they seem to have quite the flashback but lets hope new doesn't mess that up. i am so excited for their story.
arthit-dao, did they even show up in the same screen during the entire 17 eps? no i don't think so. they should have given a intro to them because besides their little scenes from trailers, i don't even have anything to expect. also, i hope their story doesn't have a flashback like the other 3 couples and starts entirely in the university.
i still think it would have been great if each couple had 4 eps each and we could have been done with it all at once. or perfect distribution of 8 eps each but here we are. i am really really really hoping this mess doesn't happen in part 2.
i will definitely watch part 2, which i don't think is coming soon or even coming at all with some of the things i have read online but we will never lose hope.
music is good, acting is ok, probably will never rewatch it, and for the story as a whole i will average it as a 7⭐.
i watched a short where the ML in japanese version looked so hot and decided to add the japanese version to my ptw.
when there are remakes, i usually like to make comparisons just like every normal person but i watched this very long ago like when it was just done airing. i don't even remember anything so i thought i would just rewatch this to freshen up my memory and compare which scenes were done better or something like that before officially starting the japanese one but now i am just left questioning my thought process which led me to rewatching this nonsense. i do remember not liking it all that much but i honestly don't know how i sat through the whole thing the 1st time around and gave it a 7🌟.
i started it again like 2 months ago, watched until the 5th ep (mostly on 2x) and then put it on hold for a while and it's going to my dropped list today. and now i don't even think i will go for the japanese one. i really should stop watching series just because the actors are handsome 😩
anyways, 3⭐. i don't think i have ever given a lesser rating.
i know nothing will happen to him but god i cried hard during 15th ep i just finished that ep and i think i need a big break before i go to the next ep totally drained my energy 😭

10/10, i cried like a baby
