I was a bit disappointed on how she lived her life after leaving. I was hoping she really used that time to explore…
I know what you mean. But I didn’t get that. I thought that after she broke up with her husband she went back to being the person she had to leave behind when she married her husband. Like how she went back to painting her finger nails a crazy color, and exploring the Amour Island. I thought that it was depicting how she did things on her own terms. The main dude liked the quirky sides and the aspects that her husband didn’t like. Four years were important because it showed that she worked on herself while keeping the ML on her radar.
One of my favorite movies ☺️ I always come back and watch it from time to time. Despite what the summary describes, it’s a lot deeper and romantic than they’d give it credit for. 10/10. Happy ending.
Cecilia Cheung is one of my favorite actresses. Every time I think of Hong Kong and its cinema, she’s one of the people who come to mind; it’s her distinct voice and toothy grin as well as her natural and everlasting beauty.
Despite not acting as much as she used to, I understand it’s due to the fact that she wants to be a good mother to her kids.
In contrast to what others say, when it comes to her ex-husband and his recent girlfriend (you know who), I believe she’s a good mother and I don’t think much people in the entertainment industry can make such a feat.
Yet, in terms of the media scrutiny and her “rivalry” with her ex’s recent girlfriend, I truly think it’s non-existent. People like to make mountains out of mole hills.
Lastly, I think her and actress Kang Hye jung look alike. This was recently brought to my attention, and I agree. But for awhile I thought she bared a strong resemblance to former actress Maggie Cheung (“In the Mood for Love). I actually still do think that.
Louis Koo has a truly distinct voice. No matter what role or language/dialect, his voice catches me off guard each time…but in a good way. One of my favorite Hong Kong actors.
I don’t like Giddens Ko, but I did enjoy this movie. I think I mainly watched it for Louis Koo and Vanness Wu, and I was pleasantly surprised. I was prepared for the ending, and it still gave me feels…But what truly made this movie a knock out was the special effects, themes/message, and Stonewall’s fighting spirit.
I truly enjoyed ML’s and his guy friend’s friendship. The girl was cool too, but I didn’t like how at one point she failed to lift him up when he needed the encouragement the most.
Also, the movie reminds me of “Tomorrow’s Joe (Ashita No Joe)” in terms of the ending. And despite what others say, Stonewall’s purpose was fulfilled no matter how irrelevant it may have seemed.
I personally enjoyed this drama. I actually thought the romance made it better. It gave the ML a moral compass, and I liked seeing his genuine adoration for the FL. Lawless Lawyer reminded me of an anime. Like, it could actually be an anime! ❤️ 10/10 !!
Now having watched both the Korean version and Thai version, I’m curious to see how counterparts from each adaptation would interact with each other.
Off and Bong-pal would probably start off fighting because they’d both be after a ghost they see when walking the same street, and then they’d both be like “That’s my ghost! I saw it first!” And then after, they’d probably be like “You can see ghosts? I can see ghosts too! Wait…” *Give each other suspicious looks* Then they’d probably have a cook off.
Jeen and Hyunji would get along. But I feel as though at first they’d have a “stare you down” moment before complimenting each other’s shoes or something. They’d probably go on a shopping spree or sit and watch their significant others make fools out of themselves during the cook-off.
Junior and Leng and Cheon-sang and In-rang would outright declare their rivalry or being archenemies. Leng and In-rang would have a hacking contest (or just trade computer tips and tricks amiably) while Cheon-sang and Junior would sit and have an informal debate on whose team was better. “My team/club (I mean business) is better than yours because…” But then Cheon-sang and Junior would start arguing again because they picked up the same item/piece of food from a dish that was being served at the cook out. Leng and In-rang would have to hold them back when things get ugly. Lol.
Then there are the Uncles — Master Mon and Monk Myung-cheol would probably just compare and trade merch/tools and go out and have a big feast somewhere and comeback to eat whatever their nephews cooked during the cook off.
The cook off would then end when Junior and Cheon-sang receive phone calls about a job (the same job), and Seondae Soup and Sok Lek would team up (after the groups stop arguing, and the uncles help them make a compromise) to fight the conveniently powerful ghost(s) together while donning their snappy black suits.
Jeen and Hyun-Ji would probably give a good power house kick together when they tag-team the ghost.
Meanwhile…Mon and Myung-cheol are finishing off the rest of the food together.
- Bonus (which contains a tiny tiny spoiler):
Kyung-ja and Jim would either become roommates/besties or make it a contest on who could attract the most men.
(Note: They’d most likely be speaking English to communicate better with each other or some other working language)
