Weirdly enough I’m so happy with the ending...I hated when a drama wraps up an ending in short amt of time so by the start of ep 15 I started feeling upset knowing they are unraveling big events to squeeze through in 2 more episodes....so yeah will happily come back to watch this fight continue with now more experienced badass leads!!!!! Overall every aspect of this drama was a great watch even though I figured who the bad guy was in those early episodes. The leads and their chemistry plus growth was so good no matter the amt. I watch my k-dramas for the romance but every now and then I find a drama like this with a great plot that the romance no matter how good it gets or how cute they are ;) still comes second...I especially found the emotions portrayed here so realistic especially how the characters continue to express them again and again throughout to show that what they go through is not something easily forgotten like in most dramas
Never seen a drama where the main ML goes missing for nearly 10 episodes straight!! The 3rd ML took over then but also completely disappeared as well half way through the drama only to show up in that unrealistic ending! I don’t even get the 2nd ML since there was no chemistry there. Script & plot was kind of all over the place and I especially can’t stand how they would bring in a new character out of nowhere and gave them focus through out a whole episode...not to mentioned that horrible dubbing on the ML...so distracting! Really wanted to like this but there was no flow or consistency in plot and no major character growth..in fact quite the opposite since the FL got dumber by the end, went from liking her to skipping most of her annoying scenes. What a thumbs down!!!
I respect your opinion and I kinda agree. However, while watching the drama as it aired, my peers and I all thought…
I got your point there...even though I watched it completed I too did want some happy ending closer for HJP. Eg. it would’ve been soo good if at the end they teased us with a start of a relationship for him & Dalmi’s sister, that way he also becomes a true family member to the grandma that he so adores. But I didn’t mind it so much as he didn’t seem at all heartbroken, sad or bitter in the end....he looked content if anything with how things turned out, so to me it was a happy ending all the way around.
Gosh it’s so weird that I kinda like the characters & the writings is ok but somehow it got a bit too boring for me to continue... You really have to be in the right frame of mind or interest to watch this! Perhaps when I need a slow calming drama later on then I’ll try and finish it....but honestly I even doubt that considering at ep 10 I’m not at all feeling much of the chemistry. ML is cute and all that & I like a gullible lead every now and then but too innocent & too nice can be a too much to add on top of that...just sucks I’m not into that at the moment lol
I was rooting for the third couple from the very start idk why. They were the most exciting one for me. but they…
Yeah it’s like the drama finished on episode 16...episode 17 took up a whole new story, maybe they are thinking about bringing it for season 2 as a main couple?
Put this drama on the waiting list due to the negative comments & honestly a bit pissed at how misleading they were & the fact that I actually listened! I get the divided opinions on who FL ended up with especially when the SML’s character had a lot of viewers invested in him from the beginning...but if you’re truly a k-drama fan it really shouldn’t be hard to figure out who she ends up with before halfway...for example the one FL kisses in a love triangle is usually the “ONE”, that and the fact that this FL was clear where her heart was by never encouraging anything with the SML. Besides that, all the leads ended up great with no hard feelings, so I wouldn’t say anyone was particularly heart broken. Besides from the love triangle & great side characters I was actually surprisingly invested in the business side of the plot. I watch so many dramas that honestly expectations are growing higher & higher but I love a drama like this that can make me click on the next episode again & again late into the early morning, no matter how many times I’ve seen similar plots.
I think I got hand fetish from both male leads lmao....FL’s boss nearly got me cheering for them but Daddi Tang was just too good doing his thing! Sometimes we just need a good simple fluffy romance that comes out as serious love with great actings.... not like those cringe & over the top fluffy ones
Plot doesn’t explained the “title”, it’s purpose & origins! In fact plot would probably go well without it in my opinion....honestly I lost interests in the last few episodes but it was still ok for passing time.
if the 'real' hanshuo you are talking about is the one in the dream i'm pretty sure that he died after she left…
Yeah...I ment him in the game, as the one in the end was Mr Han not her Hanshuo....if that’s the case you saw then it’s kind of a bittersweet ending, at least one of them is happy ;)
I don't much care about physical aspects of love and actually like stories where we see and feel deep love just…
Yeah still shaking my head over...kept thinking a person with such pure intentions would never have survived long if it was reality in that time & place
Considering I’m so critical when it comes to romance this one was actually a very good watch! It’s so underrated & I’m glad I didn’t listen to the bad reviews this time. Note: The plot focuses on second chances & it’s only 20 episodes so don’t go in expecting to see the leads full journey to love, then falling apart & then that 2nd chance again! First few episodes is just like a Prologue explaining how they met to their marriage before the story starts.
Happy to admit that this is the probably the 3rd ever drama that I was equally invested in the second Main couple! I’ve noticed that the low rating is most likely from ppl comparing the 2 couples but I absolutely love how the writer kept the 1st main couples’ relationship on the realistic side and the 2nd main couple was more like the mainstream romance we usually get...which is why most of the audience lost some interest in our main & it’s real message. But of course like most things our high expectations & comparison can ruin the Good shown to us.
Overall I like the seriousness, the messages & the adult realistic view this drama took...but unlike most realistic plots this one was actually Romantic!!
I bit disappointed on how they cast the ML...don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of his but to be honest I just don’t think he suited acting cute the whole time and made worse knowing he’s obsession plot within this alternative life, it just came out creepy at first and trying too hard. I know they did this cause many were against his cold character in Season 1 but it suited him better than being goofy the whole time! Wouldn’t mind it if they let him play his cold side a little longer in the beginning
someone help! do i need to watch s1 to understand s2 of this drama? i can't find s1 so i just wanna start s2
Nope...you don’t need to. Although Season 2 has the same cast it’s not a continuation from Season 1. It’s more an alternative life and coming together under different circumstances. I’m pretty certain Season 1 is a Netflix Original so finding it on other platforms would be hard.
Predictable & a bit slow on the 2nd half but giving it some good marks for the fact that the plot & writing of the romance interactions between main & also the directors’ were realistic...meaning they didn’t pretend that love means only holding hands & forehead kisses for months & months of dating or living together or that men never think about “it” and that nice/good girls never crave financial security & money!
Honest opinion? I’m a fan of FL and although ML did a decent job, I just couldn’t find their chemistry in 80% of their script together, I just found him adorably too young for his 19 yr old role and looking too boyish for some of the intimate scenes. But I found plot so refreshingly fun to follow with a few good laughs. Did find it a bit weird that although at the end FL found the “version” of her love.....my thoughts were for Hanshuo left behind since we see that Mr Han (the actor) in the modern world only had fleeting visions of his character Hanshuo with Qian Qian after hitting his head. So what happened to the real Hanshuo after she left his world?
