SUNNY

I got to episode 35 and lost all motivation to continue. Dropped.

This is not bad. Good chemistry with the leads. Every character seemed a little extra in their acting. Maybe that’s expected of a lakorn. I have not watched many. The small conflicts became repetitive and boring. It made the short drama feel like it dragged. My favorite character was P’Suki for his loyalty and his ability to serve revenge buffet style! 8/10

The drama is a not that exciting for me. I like the intro episodes and episodes 10-12 where love blooms. The chemistry of the leads is very good along with their acting. The comedy of the sidekicks kept me watching and laughing. The last couple of episodes is unnecessary. The plot is inconsistent. Seems like a different writer wrote the ending with the change mostly in the females lead’s character. The domestic violence is way too heavy. 7.5/10

Only worth watching for the chemistry between the lead couple. I will look out for more dramas with the male lead, Xin Yun Lai. 7.5/10

I just watched it in fast forward mode and unsubbed. I just needed closure and a decent ending.

It’s painful watching the middle sections. I’m continuing because I’ve invested time, have 7 episodes left and I like the scenes of the main couple. They have good chemistry. Too much of the writing is nonsensical. The thought patterns of the female is illogical at times. She seems smart in some episodes, then, makes some detrimental decisions in the next. It’s frustrating to watch.

They can milk more money through advertising with each episode. More episodes means more money. That is the incentive to drag out a drama. Shorter, artistic high quality dramas are rare. I recommend “The Bad Kids” if you want to see a 12-episode drama made to display the talent of the Chinese drama industry. It’s excellent with no fillers or smoothed over faces. It’s movie quality.

I would have guessed he’s a singer turned actor with a lot more experience in acting. He’s so talented that it won’t be long before he gets more lead roles. He’s great in Mr. Honesty!

Worth watching for the main couple. The middle and end were boring.

You may have to desensitize when watching some Korean dramas. I learned early on that even romantic dramas will have some unexpected violence. I’m not condoning it. I was startled by the violence and bullying when I started watching Korean dramas. It felt like every drama had a water/food slap, a tight face slap, ear/hair pulling or paddling of students, bullying of the minimum wage worker by the super rich or the evil mother-in-law and the bent knees kowtowing of staff and subordinates to people who can fire them or ruin their lives. Again, I’m not saying it’s right. But, it’s part of the typical Korean drama. This is no exception.

You are right. They made a name for themselves as actors.

I agree on all points. I did not even know Seo Hyun Jin was a former idol and I have seen 7 of her dramas!

A lot of idols have no background in acting and it typically shows in their early dramas that are popular with fans but not with professional critics. Idol lead dramas do not tend to win the top acting awards. There are exceptions like Misaeng which was fantastic and starred an idol, Si Wan! Si Wan’s acting improved a lot over the years. Nana is on a similar path in my opinion. I’m reminded of her previous roles in dramas (The Good Wife , etc.) more than her Orange Caramel performances when I see her in a new drama.

I hope this is as good or better than the Korean version. I will give it a chance.

That kiss is on my top 10 list of best drama kisses!

I loved the main couple, the sidekicks and the music. The exes were annoying. 8/10

Thank you

This is hilarious! Nana is a good choice for the lead role. Her acting improves with each drama. Makes you forget she started as an idol before acting.

It truly felt like they have way too much screen time. They are annoying at this point. It’s hard to feel empathy for them. I just want them to go away.

So true
