Can someone explain to me why Bomi won't date Jaemin?? Lmao, I'm like really confused it doesn't make sense to…
Adding to the ones above, iirc, later on SH was grateful that BM didn't date JM because even though she was okay pushing them on the outside, she probably won't be able to truly handle it deep inside.
So BM chose well in prioritizing the friendship than the crush. And she isn't trying to get JM back, prioritizing the friendship wasn't just between her and SH, but for the 3 of them including JM. She is a genuine friend to both.
This was good. Love and obsession executed well because its not a typical full length cdrama so its not draggy. An advantage of a mini drama/short series is its straightforward. I didn't need to bear until a few eps. in to be interested, this had me hooked from the first ep.
The plot twist was really a twist. Its new. Something I've never seen before. And the ending was a good metaphor for farewell and letting go.
Overall, I enjoyed the mystery, suspense and esp. romance. For a mini drama, it had an interesting plot.
Congrats Yeonmo for the International Emmys nomination.
And to those planning to check this out after EAW, if you liked Eunbin's detailed acting in EAW, she does the same here. From the stance, voice, expressions, down to the mannerisms, she perfectly embodies the role.
This drama actually makes an effort as a crossdressing drama. It does not pretend like fl is a perfect male. They acknowledge that the prince is feminine. They showed the fl naturally developed manly gestures but she can't help but be feminine. It fits to the narrative that no matter how hard she tries, she can't hide her feminine qualities that will lead to suspicions.
And Eunbin understood the assignment. She effortlessly shifts between two different identities while depicting the fear, pain and grief that both characters hold. She portraye the prince and princess both physically and emotionally really well.
As a historical drama, fl is the hero that drives the plot. Most fl's are not as privileged as they are usually just the love interest that every male character likes or a damsel in distress that everyone has to save. Here the fl has the higher status and is in a position to be involved in political matters as a crown prince turned king.
As a romance drama, the ml here is also sweet like Junho. Yes there is cliché, but its a reverse cliché. The ml being good with books, medicine and gardening, while the fl being great at hunting, fighting and swimming. The fl being the hero and the ml as the love interest is refreshing and entertaining.
There are things kept from the webtoon and things changed for the better in drama. No accidental boob touch or anything like that, if thats a major concern for some. And most importantly, the reveal of the secret was tastefully done.
Overall, Eunbin's acting alone makes it worth watching. (KBS Drama Awards Top Excellence Actress, Baeksang Arts Awards Best Actress Nominee and Korea Broadcasting Award Best Actress). But everyone's taste is different. It's not perfect, but its a good watch after EAW or while waiting for Eunbin's next project.
First impression, I thought part 2 would be a continuation like fl and ml going through hardships and navigating life as a human x alien couple. I was not expecting for them to be basically back at square one and with some inconsistencies too.
But its still funny and entertaining so far, I'll continue with the next eps.
First impression, SH reminds me of Chaewon (LSRF) and JY reminds me of Sangwoo (SE). I'm only familiar with SJH from Flower Crew, his character there was sad, and its more so here...
HM and SM in the past is melancholic, but SM with JM in the present feels off. BM's reaction is relatable.
Even though JY isn't shorter than BM and there are changes, their dynamics and development is cute.
So far, its okay. I'll continue with the next eps.
1. Extraordinary Attorney Woo -16.4% 2. Sky Castle - 13.0% 3. Goblin - 12.6% 4. Descendants of the Sun - 12.3% 5. Empress Ki - 11.8% 6. My Love from the Star - 11.5% 7. The World of the Married - 10.2% 8. Reply 1988 - 9.8% 9. Crash Landing on You - 9.1% 10. Love in the Moonlight - 8.6%
Setting a new record for the highest level of preference in all channels both drama and tv programs since 2013.
Finally, a broadcast date. MGIAA is one of the very few cdramas that was actually funny and sweet instead of the usual cringe. Looking forward to this~
I agree with you. Like a long wait crush/ slow romance is hard for me to get through haha. I saw some spoiler…
Yeah, its fine as a 1.5hr movie like the 2 titles I mentioned above, but as a 24-30eps drama with no other plot, needs to be well executed and not just entirely rely on chemistry.
I think there's no need to worry cause so far reuters' been mostly outdoors, and the filming still has a long way to go. And maybe the drama will add some stuff since the novel is quite short too.

After the latest eps I've already established JY as JY, but SH still reminds me of CW because of the vibe/aura.

The third recognition for her portrayal of Hwi/Dami/Yeonseon after KBS Drama Awards and Baeksang Arts Awards.
Well deserved~

It works fine for me.

Yes, because while I trust ZLS's chemistry and comedic timing, good script and execution is still important. Hopefully this one will have both.
But since ZLS is really good with romance and chemistry, I'd still check this out once its airs.
