This drama is all over the place. You can tell the director wanted to give it a noir vibe but it has the typical cdrama comical acting and silly plot so they can't keep the vibe and cinematography they wanted. And the story is just a mess. What even is the main plot of this drama?? I'm writing this right after watching ep 15 where there's a major twist and suddenly we got a whole new different plot.
I'm gonna drop this after watching 1 and half episode. I don't like how there's no clear genre for this drama. It's confusing what were they trying to tell.
But can someone explain to me why is ML a gangster? The gang he's in are not his family members right? And he didn't want to be a gangster since young. So what made him work as one?
I read the reviews and comments here before watching so I knew the final episode will be bad. But even with that mental preparation, I was absolutely flabbergasted. Wtf was that ðŸ˜
Btw, what happened to the female bully? kim hye yeong? Did she just disappear without explanation or something happened to her but I missed that part?
Watched this with 2x speed while having meals and I still can't stand how bad it was. The actings are so cringy. The plot and the tropes are so outdated it makes me wonder if this was produced in 2014.
Ok. But can I just say you camping on this page being defensive on every comment is not healthy. I hope you do get out and touch some grass as well. It's just a drama, chill. Take a deep breathe.
Last comment as I have better things to do in life than wasting my time here.To those who want to watch the drama…
Can you let me know how is the novel better than the drama? Do they have slightly different plots?
My main issue with the drama is it feels like they have never ending problems. They barely get to be happy/cute for few scenes before a new conflict arises. It's so frustrating to watch.
If the novel is more on the happier side I might want read it. And do the novel have mature elements in it?
I'm at ep 10 and considering dropping it. I feel drained watching this. So many conflicts, angst, and tensions. I thought this would be a youth/growth drama.
How many episodes do Netflix upload per week? I just started watching so I don't want to binge too quickly if I have to wait for more weeks for it to complete
I mean I see Romance and Youth. Am I the only one that thinks that Chinese dramas are more fixed on Youth, almost…
There are thousands of Chinese dramas out there and youth genre only made up of small fraction. If you think all Chinese drama are about youth it's because you only seek for that genre.
I asked the question above because MDL description are not usually accurate and I want answer from someone who's actually watching this drama.
I thought I wouldn't care about the lack of kiss in this drama but as I watched I understand why everyone is angry about it. The plot of this story supposed to be sensual. The kiss scene supposed to happen because the dialogue demand for it. Its not a typical drama where a peck happen after they got together or what but it's literally the entire point. When they removed the essential scene, the story became choppy. Let's blame the production team instead of the actress though. They shouldn't hire her if they knew she won't do any kiss scene.
It's still a fun drama though. It's just frustrating to watch.
Is there any explanation of Nan Feng blocking Lao Yan in first series? And then ep. 12 like nothing happened
In the novel, both nan feng and lao yan are non committed, playboy/playgirl type. Nan feng thought they'll never meet again so she simply blocked him. And lao yan didn't even notice she blocked him until they meet again the second time.
In the drama, they changed lao yan character as a lover boy. But they still want to commit to some of the original plot I guess, and with the editing, lots of the details were removed, so we ended up with unexplainable arc.
Did anyone here read the novel? Should I read the novel to get more detailed story?
Tq. I won't mind the different characterisations, I always love finding that surprise in novel. But I need to know, are there side characters plot in the novel? Right now I'm most intrigued with Lao Yan and Jiang Feng's story because it seems like there's a huge chunk of story missing from the drama.
Like in First Frost, the side characters story were non existent in the novel, was only made up for the drama.
I'm only in ep 4 but the editing really bothered me. I heard they edit the episodes from 36 to only 23 and it's sooo obvious. So many missing scenes ughh I'm annoyed
