Eu nunca imaginei que fosse tão bom

Sem duvidas um dos melhores dramas que já assisti, eu n achei que fosse gostar TANTO desse dorama. Eu comecei a assistir a uns anos atrás porém nunca tive coragem de terminar então fui reassistir este ano(2023) por conta do lançamento de Strong Girl Nam Soon. Strong Woman Do Bong Soon é extremamente perfeito, o casal é perfeito, e a história desse dorama é perfeitamente cativante, eu comecei a assistir sem parar porque é muito viciante.

O desenvolvimento do casal foi meio lento já que continha um triângulo amoroso, porém foi perfeito o jeito que eles se relacionaram, o jeito que eles se apoiavam(quando ela finalmente percebeu que gostava do CEO ??). Eu não tenho dúvidas sobre o casal principal, foi a melhor escola possível, acredito que eles se completam de uma forma imensurável.

A atuação dos atores é impecável, por mais que os efeitos de imagem sejam meio ruins, isso não estragou a série de ser extremamente perfeita em todos os aspectos possíveis.

Este dorama está entrando oficialmente pro meu top 3 em segundo lugar, e não tenho arrependimentos ou críticas a fazer sobre este drama que foi incrivelmente PERFEITO.

For something so progressive, they lack something

*happy ending for one couple*

I started watching this last year, 2022 and put it on hold because of how weird the issues kept popping up that I felt always bad for Fiat. But finally, I finished it and it felt watching it better now than last year.

When this was released it became so known because it is almost the start of very hot and steamy NC scenes in BL industry. It's like Mame tested waters in Tharntype and this became it's progression. However, amidst its well known name for its NC scenes, JaFirst in this series is soooo lackluster in their NC. Maybe because I finished watching it after already watching the current latest BLs who are already so realistic in their love scenes, but I can really see how they peck kiss even in the most hottest moments and hide their face and lips away using camera angles. Most of the time it just looks like Ja is smelling First's neck.

Even though there are a lot of love scenes in this series, it just irks me how lackluster it was. The execution is most of the time really bad.

I know this is the first main couple series of JaFirst and they have come a long way now. I saw that their acting is ahead of its time then. Especially First. Ja on the other hand is sooo damn handsome. His character is written such a green light as well. Though a bit possessive, it works well with Fiat's personality.

Dont get me started with Aek. He is the best I tell you. Handsome, smart, and I love how cool he is in this series. I love his every scene. The twins are one of the best castings here and also An too. Sooo pretty.

LeonPob have such a good story and chemistry that all fans, including me, are still thirsty for Just Say Yes. It has been a long time and I hope Mame produces it already. LeonPob's kisses are 100 times better than LeoFiat's really.

For the story, I sorta liked all conflicts so far except the sleeping with the afro guy conflict. He looks weird to me. I guess they did great in casting someone creepy. Fiat's mom is also so damn scary. Instead of a restraining order, I just hoped Fiat's dad hleped her get therapy as soon as possible before. Same with Fiat. Not getting him a new mom.

Overall, you can see that this series is ahead of its time but also lacking in great execution.

Lighthearted and funny

Not much else to say. I'd already watched this one, but idk why I didn't post a review back then - so here it is.

I love the acting in this. It looks so natural. The chemistry is great (always important) and I was smiling ear to ear whenever the main characters interacted (even the two friends, they were so cutee). They all look like they're having a blast when they're together.
It's also quite funny - I found myself actually laughing at some scenes (which doesn't really happen), which earned this series brownie points. Gao Shi De's mom was hilarious, I love herr, how she was teasing Zhou Shu Yi for being overly formal with her.

The story is basic, though. If you really think about it, there's not much going on outside their romance. The doctor-cousin was a weird character in general, he made me uncomfortable with how touchy-feely he was with his PATIENTS (who, mind you, are significantly younger than him). He was also quite aggressive for a doctor, like he was very careless when handling injured students.
Also, I think Shu Yi went from 'I cannot fall for a man' to screaming 'I like Gao Shi De' at the top of his lungs in the span of... what? A week? Idk, it felt a little bit too fast for me. We didn't even see him feel conflicted or anything.
And finally, we should address the MC's tendency to try to drown himself - can someone ban him from going anywhere near a swimming pool?? Istg in one single episode he jumped into the pool TWICE, fully clothed, and Gao Shi De had to pull him out.

I know it looks like I didn't enjoy this much lol - but I did. It's mostly vibes, no thoughts, head empty. Just go with the flow when watching this.

Osobiście kocham tą dramę

Personalnie - Jest to jedna z moich ulubionych dram. Zaskarbiła sobie u mnie te miejsce dzięki ciekawej fabule, ale również przedstawieniu świata nastolatków.

Ayan i Akk mają świetną chemię pomiędzy sobą jako postacie. Ich relacja po prostu nie wydaje się płaska. Dobra gra aktorów, grających ich!

Jest parę wątków pobocznych, a główny jest na tyle ciekawy, że trzyma w napięciu do ostatnich sekund.

Nie jest to tandeta drama o szkole, jakie często się zdążają. Ma w sobie nutkę tajemniczości i sekretów. Pokazuje problemy protagonistów od dwóch stron, oraz z czego one wynikają.

Od strony wizualnej też nie ma sobie niczego do zarzucenia. Bardzo dobra produkcja.

Not a very special drama

Cliché amnesia and cross-dressing plot line. The only thing that made this drama stand out somewhat is that FL is actually very smart and she had some really badass moments that I really enjoyed.
Otherwise, it was nothing really special. The actress of the villain was not good, her scenes annoyed me. Not because her character was annoying (this as well) but because her acting was not great. And I originally really didn't want to comment on this, but I had to look at the lipfillers of ML the whole time, it was quite distracting... And there was some serious second lead syndrome for me. He was just so non-toxic and charming, it was quite refreshing.

Urocze, ale trochę się zgubiłem...

Fabuła jest na pewno czymś zupełnie nowym, czego nie widziałem jeszcze w dramach bl. Mam natomiast jeden problem - nie wiem jak działa świat przedstawiony. Reguły są trochę niezrozumiałe.

Mimo wszystko dynamika głównych postaci jest przyjemna w oglądaniu. Przeważnie urocza. Niestety jest też troszeczkę niezręczna. Gra aktorska jest w pożądku, nie ma nic do zarzucenia.

Ogólnie fabuła idzie w jedną stronę i nie ma specjalnie zaskakujących zwrotów akcji, przy czym dostaliśmy również dobre zakończenie.

Mimo swojej dziwnej koncepcji drama jest rozwiązana całkiem dobrze. Bardzo fajnie oglądało się ją wieczorami :)

Flawed but emotionally engaging drama

The Kidnapping Day is one of those dramas where the main relationship was greater than the sum of its parts but not quite enough to overcome their shortcomings. And that math makes about as much sense as some of the plot holes in this drama about a loving father figure kidnapper and substitute daughter kidnappee.

The strength of this drama was the relationship between Myung Joon and Ro Hee. The actors had great chemistry as the bumbling, good-hearted, desperate dad and genius 11-year-old who had never had the chance to form loving human attachments or simply play like the child she was. Once you left their nucleus, the characters and story began to break down with parts becoming repetitive and others lacking in logic. The plot trotted out the well-trod issues of police incompetence (with the exception of the lead detective) along with the requisite corruption issues although they waffled back and forth on the corruption. While I know women make up a small percentage of police officers in Korea it would have been nice to see one of the minor characters be a female officer in this overwhelmingly masculine drama. The bad guy pecking order and allegiances also shifted with similar incompetence issues. The overly dramatic villain left no furniture without his teeth marks as he chewed through the scenery. Class distinctions as they often do played a role in the story. And how far are people willing to go and who has to suffer for the good of all mankind or at least for those who have enough money? The role on which most of the drama ended up hinging was all over the place with motivations and reactions that often made little sense and the final confrontation missed the mark for me.

Despite its narrative flaws, I enjoyed this drama. Yoon Kye Sang gave a captivating performance as the father who would do anything to save his hospitalized biological daughter and the stranger in his care. His fists made up for what he lacked in strategical thinking, leaving the scheming up to the brilliant girl in his charge. Yuna demonstrated why Korea has the best child actors from any country. She portrayed not only the coldly, methodical experiment her character had been trained to be, but also the vulnerable child that needed an adult to protect her. Moments of the two playing, perhaps for the first time in her life, squealing in delight and getting her designer clothes dirty were heartwarming.

The Kidnapping Day may have had plot holes big enough to swallow The White Truck of Doom, but Myung’s devotion to the two little girls who depended on him covered those pitfalls enough to provide for an emotionally compelling drama. Roo Hee’s intellectual dominance might even leave you questioning who had really been kidnapped in this relationship.

A very iconic and memorable drama.

I think this drama was a first to a lot of fans today, including mine, so it's definitely why everyone absolutely adores it. I remember me and my sister coming back from school and watching it in 2015. In a way, I have many memories attached to it so it really holds a special place in my heart. But if we're being real and honest here it wasn't that WOW, the acting was pretty sh*t, one of the only ones that could act was Hyunjoong (will never forget my first ever Second-lead syndrome with Jihoo, still heartbroken till this day lmao). But NOTHING can ever beat the OSTs, they're fr in my playlist T-T, I don't usually care for music in dramas but the OSTs for this one were really good and stuck with me. Rewatched this a 100 times and will certainly rewatch it a 100 more times. To be honest I wouldn't recommend this to those who aren't used to these old-school and cringey K-dramas, it's a different type of cringe fr.
