I'm dropping this just like how the producers dropped jisoo

1st story wise, tbh beside the FL I think the story was repetitive and the 20eps were pushing it. they kinda just took the usual backstory of the ML and made it the FL's story. SHE was the lost princess with the horrible dad king, there was nothing new, but it gave the FL a chance to be something more than the love interest.

and kim sohyun was the perfect choice I can't imagine someone else as her. but with that I also can't get over jisoo as Dal, I personally HATE actor changes and bellow this part I shall rant in peace so whoever is looking for a fight, or want to twist people's words then please don't read past this







I hate how some people say fans are stupid for being hurt over an actor they never met/that doesn't know they exist, but this is so like what happened in veronica mars s4.
I just loved the characters so much, and I loved the series then they went ahead and stabbed the fans and the other cast with their choices, they sabotaged the true core of veronica and they disregarded one of their most important actors' hard work just for the sake of "suspense" and most probably money..

here, they didn't drop jisoo becasue of his past deeds but they did it for the sake of the ratings and the money. and the rest of the fans of the other cast are so ready to show they never cared for jisoo or anyone beside their favs.
everyone is acting like everything is ok, as if one's hardwork is more than the other

I'm in no way defending jisoo's past actions, but if they really cared for the victim's, they should deal with this in a bigger scale.
you can't fight bullying with bullying and now jisoo is the target for so many people.
some say "deformation" is a huge crime in korea, but as a long time idol fan I've seen so many false rumors regarded as the truth just becasue they were posted online.
just one anonymous post on a shabby site like koreanboo can ruin people's reputation and even if the truth comes out no one cares.


and in turn the idol bullying scene is just as bad as the school bullying which just proves the whole system needs to change. bullying should be a crime with consequences.. and that includes cyber bullying that targets the celebrities.

people need to pay a price and try to work on themselves. I've seen so many ugly things thrown at jisoo, even the actress Park Hye Soo addressed how easily her past got twisted and the ones who bullied her are now back to play the victims.
it's not always the case, I'm not disregarding victims but spreading non proven facts doesn't make it real or ok to share..



anyway, ep7 aired and the 1st thing people care about is rating or how their own favs are doing, so I can't take this double standard bias... they made jisoo the villain that ruined the staffs hard work and now they're working for free

I'm really sad over this, I love both jisoo and sohyun as actors and this was a dream casting for me. no matter what, jisoo has worked hard on his career, he always got side tracked or ended in low projects that this was his big break. and I can't see anyone else pull of Dal like him.
and I'm not hating on the other actor... and I watched part of ep7 but I just can't. it's such a huge difference...
they should've killed him off, I HATE actor changes it just takes away from the character, I even hate anime voice actor changes. it feels unnatural.
and they could've brought the new actor as a new character who is a general in the palace. there could've been so many better solution.
but mostly I wish this was preproduced. as a fan of the characters and the art form my feelings are valid

I hope no one comes at this and attacks me for whatever reason they want to twist this into. be kind and let me vent my valid sadness in peace ;D

I really loved kim sohyun in this, I'll forever keep her as one of my favorite female characters and maybe once things are cleared out and sorted I'll come back and watch this with a lighter heart

if someone wants to starts this, or they still didn't finish it, then I highly recommend the 36 episode vr.. basically this went through 3 stages,
the overly cliche mean girl/nice guy light romcom = 7
the middle part that should've been the ending which was around ep20? = 10
and the last draggy part, literally the last 8 eps were the same = 1 but since there is a cut vr I won't count this
the end = 7?
so I guess that rounds it all to 8? 7.5? ;)
it didn't need 20 (40)eps, it would been perfect if it ended by ep 16 (32)...

my rewatch values are either a 1 or a 10...

some relationships are so toxic and need so much work, it's better to just end it

Koreans yet again treating the non skinny one as someone obsessed with food, beside the poster of only him with food, ppl can be fat without being hungry all the time
And they can enjoy food without being, pigs…

Which goes back to his romance line with the annoying girl calling him a pig every time she sees him… that’s her nickname for him. Pig… even if she sees him she goes “oh there’s pig”, “I just saw pig”.. and he thinks he’s lucky someone “skinny” like her would be interested in him
lol even beside that I really dislike her, she gives off a condescending cocky attitude

And they’re already using fillers cuz ml and fl are just brooding over the breakup

the start was cute but later it became a dragging plot

Leia Mais

ok I think my short interpretation of this would be a modern 21st century love story that is still stuck in a cliche mold?
their relationship/chemistry feels natural and they dealt with the fan thing as best as they could (the best thing would've been no fan-to-lovers, but oh well)

the families are booorring and unfitting, I do not care for them one bit.

and I don't really care for the male friendship, even the bromance feels flat.. I don't get why or how they are friends, they just feel like 3 people that are in the same space. also the fact that they didn't give the fl any sort of friendship or family is alarming ;/

so the worst point of this is the super duper cliche arc they used for the fl! the drunk pity party that makes the guy fall for her weak "cute" side, the "it's all my fault everyone hates me!", the "I've never dated before becasue I am a sad unworthy person", the fact that she bickers back with everyone and then suddenly becomes docile is just bad writing...
in ep2 she was answering back to every criticism her boss told her as if they were friends and now she's the weak silent victim to the crazy boss who's randomly out to get her ;/
and then the ml is being possessive already? "don't drink with other me becasue you look cute".. you don't own her ;/

the worst sign is when I skip an ep and I don't feel like I missed anything, I didn't realize I didn't watch ep3 until ep4 was over and I was looking for the next ep xD
I personally have a rule, I give dramas 1/4 a chance and if I don't like them I drop

+ I liked the girls, I mean this could be considered a female centered plot though the evil guys were practically a village
+ the dream vs reality was a cool concept
+ the last ending scene was interesting

- the mystery crime was lacking, ALOT
- the evil guys felt like random people they found on an island, and tbh fey's dad's face gives me nightmares ;D
- lack of romance (though it didn't need it as aya said) but her and cop guy would've been a cute couple
- everyone was either raped or committed suicide ;/

as a mystery genre it felt lacking, and the quality seems like a 2012 production with the cheap filming and aesthetics

I like it, I thought the 1ml was the food guy and he was soooo bland, but I mean all 6 are somewhat equal but book guy is sooo cute😆

Idk if I’m lagging to like a red flag, but the other two are so beige🙂 but they all have their issues

Like police dude saying “i wanna know everything about my future partner” then goes and says cute fl “talks too much about herself”

Tho it’s ironically accurate cuz if ppl stay single that long, there must be some baggage, we’ve become too comfortable alone, dreading a coexistence, yet not wanting to be lonely
The men are all huge red flags, not moving away from the first no🤡 like it takes them five “no” to stop🤡
Ml went from sweetly saying he’ll wait for any touch for max 3 years, and only touch her finger cuz she asked, to not move when she changed her mind?

And the women all have severe anger issues 🤡 it’s been like a week for all and they already want unlimited devotion?

it’s so flat, nothing happened after the initial bang
The dialogues are basic, the characters are 1D and the story has been done to death

I stopped caring about this after ep4, mainly cuz it went inside a maze and it’s still going in circles

Like he was there and she saw him at the end of last ep and the start of this ep and she’s still wondering what’s up
Basically I had this on x2 and I didn’t even look but nothing happened

Sad I love Kim kangwoo but he left the evil second lead, became a great actor, lost into cheesy naive roles in romcoms and now he’s a typecast cheater zzzzzzzzzzz

I still love him but I won’t tolerate this and I’m pretty convinced anyone who praises this is just doing it for foot actor


Unless something happens, with twists, imma drop this zzzzzzzzzzz
Everything is exactly what one would think from ep1, only one tho was different, but now it’s a boring circle which is sad cuz the cast are amazing but his became another “Trolley” which just means typical repetitive cheap makjang zzzzzz

The thing that was shocking was her killing that guy, the fake sister, the cheating husband, the revengeful son, the corrupt politician zzzzzzzzz
There’s nothing going on besides dragging all of that



In trolley the shock was that her sweet husband wasn’t just a cheater but also a rapist who hurt her good friend and kept tormenting her, I think :)

This is why it got extended? Repeated scenes, flashbacks, flashbacks, and repeated plotlines?

Yeah this season had great character growth but it also had 11 dragged out reason just so “they didn’t get together” as if them staying together was the only point they feared they had nothing when they finally got together
I think I made s1 a 9 from 8ish but yeah that ending was DISAPPOINTING

Another freaking amnesia??? They should be lucky I didn’t give a 1

The war? The fight? two people just committed suicide or died.. that’s not the ending

And their final scene with the horrible blurred background, what did they record it in the studio

No wonder her first dream was her chasing him, it was one big long chase

double wrist grabs in 2020? how unoriginal

edit: I read some of the spoilers from ep10 and my 1st prediction after ep1 was right, so that means the story was built on 1 plot move and 1000 misunderstandings and miscommunication ;D ie a waste of time ;)

the fl stands up for herself and she even called Dae Oh as a loser so they acknowledge his annoying side, but the wrist grabs drive me crazy especially the double wrist grab at the end ;/

they are not bickering, they are purposely hitting below the belt?. they might now be doing it becasue both are hurt and once the misunderstanding goes away they'll be all lovey dovey, but at the end of the day they chose to say/think those words....

my theory (not a spoiler) is that Dae Oh is the dad, self centered actor liked her too so he never cleared their misunderstandings if not add more fuel to the fire. she saw Dae Oh with another woman and she went to self centered actor ie the rain scene, and teacher dude loved her so much that he wanted to "take responsibility" for her and his mom hated that he was going to raise another man's kid so she bribed/hurt ae jung and told her to leave. I don't know how gangster dude is related, but add the actress and we'll get 10 more eps of misunderstandings and venomous fights ;/

it really can't be any other guy because 1- she was happy to see actor guy, 2- she didn't remember teacher dude 3- she didn't even know gangster guy. and 4- she hated seeing dae oh again. and the grandma did say "he's dead to her" so I mean you won't not remember the person you hate/love

WDH HOTNESS

7 for plot
4 for execution
10 for WDH
10 for WDH smile
10 for WDH abs
10 for WDH emotional scenes
10 for WDH sass
10 for WDH charisma
5.5 for fl, she wasn’t bad but most times she wasn’t good
2 for 2ml, only redeemable scenes was with WDH and they should’ve had more instead of him crying over a girl half his age
5 for Johnna
-10 for bathroom jokes and motel scene
5 for editing skills, tho great cinematography, some “teleportation” and jump scenes were confusing


They should’ve focused more on the concept of unlikely familyness, eps 6 and 7 were just useless, and some big plot moves had me



So the dad didn’t abandon him when he was 8, WDH left when he was 18ish

Sure the dad went blank and empty on him but he wasn’t bad and the mom overreacted, agh like seriously it’s not like anyone thought she cheated, or he was gonna leave them or she was hurt and shamed
And she wasn’t gonna leave town, she was gonna kill the kid along…


On another hand, with everything the little girl should’ve had more scenes, also fls life felt sadder and it didn’t make sense why he acted like they’re the same
Her mom abandoned her when she gave birth, then years later went and made another family

2ml did have the trauma of mamas boy but it was pathetic

The mom being suddenly nice and “accepting” anyone ppl as kid replacement but she wasn’t gonna accept her daughter in law
And fl going from marring another dude to randomly not leaving ml and ml hurting her cuz he didn’t want to get hurt

lol I forgot to change the rating, I won’t keep it a 10, it had great promise and potential also saying the dad took him back like he was waiting, and the questionable 2fl and her “mom or lover” yet another weird 12 age gap honestly she was better of with 2ml

The name puns were only fun the first time it was mentioned and I hated the ending like just give us unbelievable happy resolutions honestly his not dad dad was rich enough so was his not lover mom and even 2ml’s mom who was nice when she wanted

I "accidentally" skipped ep5 tho I gladly didn't wanna go back and started 2xing this

Basically, nice filmography, great actors (minus foot actor, dude even blinks slow and weird 🤣) tho soobinie "out acted" all, flat 1d characters (the brooder, the fainter and the overly self centered "cool" kid) the actors couldn't save, and childish plot.
If this wasn't sold as a 6eper I'd have dropped at ep1

This feels like a parody, like Blade knight (?), horrible horrible writing
Tho maybe if this was made as a teen flick, with younger 20 year old actors would've fit these bunch of idiots that lacked maturity ✌🏻🤡
