Very thought-provoking sci-fi thriller with touches of comedy, though the romance angle eventually intruded too much for me. Still, it was one that kept me watching, with no "on hold" loss of interest and had a satisfying denouement. Apart from the pure story, it does raise a lot of questions about where the human machine ends and consciousness and feelings begin, as well as notions of good and evil - as humans are all a mixture of good and bad.
Phew! in the first episodes don't blink or you'll miss this, and I thought I was volatile. Story of fight between leads set among lots of crazy action. Hope it is not another love story as they promise - but love/hate?. Lee Eleanor very funny. Huang Jun Jie looks great - very prissy character played well. Recommended by Hmmsy, thank you. 10/10 entertainment value so far. Love every character in this. For me not so good in later episodes, the turn to fantasy, full on in ep. 16, was interesting to start but dragged on and did not really work for me, so I have to deduct a point because it became a struggle to watch all the clever-clever fantasy. I preferred the school setting. The music is good but takes up too much time.
Do they get together again? There is some suggestion I think, if so the ending is more positive and the overall result feels better. But maybe that's just my prejudice for happy endings.
You have to look beyond the title which is more than it superficially suggests. Sounded quite heavy but the beginning was very funny and well done with two (later three) characters. It's a weird tale but sucks you in (if you see what I mine). The rushed ending I find rather too "neat" and unsatisfying. Further comment under spoiler. "Cuts" in film are an easy option to jump time. They are risky and don't always work. One positive message suggested to me is that you do not have to "do" or perform a job, activity, vocation or whatever to "prove" your value as a person. Not important but the younger guy did not look Japanese - OK I know I should not "stereotype". Avoid if you object strongly to cigarettes.
Looked him up as I like him - not the character - in While You were Sleeping. Pretty horrible character there, hope he has some dramas with nice characters. Photo here does him no favors.
Agree about Ra Im I wish there were more romance drama with a hot FLs who are fashionable ,And more eccentric…
So what about fashion taste? It doesn't stop Lustdrama or others having an opinion either way, does it? Our comments don't have to be confined within the prevailing taste at the time . So ridiculous.
Intriguing start, somewhat far-fetched with two people with precognition just happening to live next door with intertwining lives. Plus a lawyer with paranormal powers? Not in my experience. I was initially irritated that just when I'm enjoying the comedy it gets really heavy, but now I'm into it, I find the mix of comedy, tragedy and supernatural enjoyable and keeps me watching. As it goes, it looks like half of Seoul have precognitive dreams. But in my opinion the big flaw in this drama is the connection between the central characters between present day and back story. It really is completely unbelievable, although everything does come together quite powerfully as between the different characters then and now. Still stretches the imagination, though. It also has a "split personality", as it can't make up its mind if it is a supernatural drama or realistic law/court drama - it starts with the supernatural element very prominent but from about half way to me this fades to the background. Also it sags in the middle with too much soppy romance. But it totally recovered as the action picked up later on, when it was edge of the seat stuff and passed the test of being not easy to stop from going on to the next episode. I also loved the comedy, like the office politics and the young brother constantly put upon by LJS. IMO LJS looks far better in casual than formal clothes. Music for the romantic scenes is good. I also have a soft spot for the villain, although he's a really nasty one, which I suppose is evidence of Lee Sang Yeob's good acting. These dramas would never work without a bad guy and the audience wanting to know how the good guy gets the better of him (if he does). The very end nice but so OTT. The idea could have carried over to another series but it was obviously packaged only for one.
Bizarre, wistful little tale. I found it confused and confusing, which maybe figures since the theme is where identity lies - how do we see ourselves and others, does the face fit the mind or vice versa, do we see what we want to see, what's the reality? As the heavily plugged quote says: "The essential is invisible to the eyes". But I have to say much of the working out of the plot here was invisible to my eyes. As is usual with KBS Special Drama, the final shot of how the couples ended up neatly sums up the message of the story. 8/10 for trying to tackle a difficult (dare I say "existentialist"??) subject , but not imho entirely successfully. Liked Choi's friend, Kwak Hee Sung.
Funny light entertainment, funny for the characters and reactions of the neighbours in a block to a weird happening. Nice twist at the end, though I sorta guessed the culprit which is shown at the very end. KBS dramas are usually good and just long enough for being watchable without getting boring.
Thankyou very much
