sweet but with the overboard asian flirting trope

The story is really cool and the characters are cool, it's starts really well and funny with the teasing and all. But honestly I don't like the trope that one lead falls really fast but the other doesn't like them and get annoyed by their presence. Then the one in loves goes overboard to get close to them, in this case is the housing situation (generally speaking so I don't spoil it for anyone).

I just think it's too much you know, I know that it doesn't last too long but the the way the FL treats the ML kinda. Also I couldn't move on from the situation I referred earlier, I know it's stupid but it really bothered.

I Really Wanted to Like This

I started this series because it had a very interesting story concept. Unfortunately, it fell short on the execution.

The positive: It has a good cast. I give them credit for doing their best considering the material they had to work with. The series had great sets/locations and beautiful cinematography.

The negative: The main problem is the script. It’s lacking one important element, interest. The story progressing and characters were not interesting enough to keep my attention or care about what was going on. I also found some of the characters very annoying.

The in-between: I found the opening credits more interesting than the actual series.

Random Note: I love series with a mystical spin and I wanted to like this series. I wish the script was better. I probably would not have dropped this if it only had 10 or 12 episodes. I felt it would be torture trying to complete this considering it has 16-episodes.

Beklediğim bir dizi idi başrol de oynayan Liu Yu Ning i daha önce The Long Ballad ve The Legend Of Anlede yan rolde seyretmiştim bu dramada başrolde olması beni çok sevindirdi.. bu tarihi roller kendisine çok yakışıyor ve tarihi dizilerde daha çok başrolde görmek isterim diziyi 10.bölüme kadar izledim finale kadar da izlemeyi düşünüyorum ikinci kez seyretmek istiyormuyum kesinlikle hayır.. başrolde oynayan kadın oyuncuya gelince Liu Şi Şi role hiç yakışmadı daha önce kendisinin başrolde oynamış olduğu the imperial doctores dizisin,de seyrettim diziyi 5, bölüme kadar izleyip ne konusunu nede başrolde oynayanları beğenmediğim için yarım bıraktım Liu Yu Ning gibi bu tarz dramalar da devleşen bir oyuncunun yanına keşke Dilraba Dilmurat oynasaydı bence hem Liu Yu Ning hem de Dilraba Dilmurat tarihi dramalarda birbirlerine çok yakışan çift diye düşünüyorum şu anda 10,bölümdeyim incelemelerden anladığım kadarıyla senaristler sonunu güzel bitirememişler sonuç olarak sonuna kadar izleyeceğim. Liu Yu Ning i daha iyi tarihi dramalar da (The İngenious one gibi) görmek dileğiyle ...

Hooked

Although only briefly into voice 2, am enjoying it as much as voice 1. Both the male leads in each voice 1 & 2 I really enjoy watching as I rate them as very good actors. The killer in voice 2 I wouldn’t say is as creepy as the killer in voice 1 but gives you the chills as to how he targets his victims with such well thought out meticulous precision. Yes definitely psychopathic tendencies there which makes it interesting for me as can’t wait to see how this developed especially when his, presuming here having not seen all the series yet, that his mother is dead but still conversing with her. Also, being as the detective Do is being nick named psycho or nut job, brings to mind the saying ‘it takes one to know one’ . Maybe the writer was thinking this when bringing this character into the story as he’s cold and a loner, so that’s intriguing too as to what makes a person that way. Before seeing the Korean voice 1 & 2, I watched the Thai Voice which was very good. Now the killer in that series I found more creepy and horrifying than the characters in the kdrama pictured so far! Looking forward to series 3 and 4 (Korea) to see how the stories develop.

Inconsistent characters

Right now I am enjoying watching this drama and I laugh most of the time eventhough I see bunch of red flags with this ML. Its very good drama but the thing that bothers me most are some characters here especially the ML, does he have split-personality disorder? One time he's like a narcissist egoistic immature devil, and then after a minute he's just like an angel has possessed him? I don't understand his personality here. Also for the second lead female, at first she doesn't like ML, and then when she knew he had married she suddenly wants him? Really? She has this narcissistic attitude like the ML. This scenario I'm rooting for the Main female and Second male because there's no problem with their personality and character and they have smoother relationship. In that case I think this drama don't take this seriously because in reality there's no such things, the characters here are very unrealistic. But I did find this entertaining and funny. Will finish the story anyways.

disappointed

I dropped this show like a hot potato!
I didn't even think I'd be able to even make it through the two episodes that I managed to watch.
It was just bad.
I mean beyond awful. I thought maybe I was looking at it and comparing it to the original which I absolutely love and still rewatching that one. I guess it was about 2 weeks after I dropped it I went back and tried to rewatch those first two eps again with fresh eyes. I did try to give it a chance but just rewatching those two episodes think they would've been better if the show was written differently. Since it is a bl I'll probably go ahead and watch it from start to finish and get through it some time next year.

Absolute nonsense!

FYI, I have not dropped a single show officially on this website and said something about it out loud, so I'm not taking it lightly.

Firstly, I do not know how this show has such a high rating. If this is the kind of nonsense people are liking, my concern for women is increasing more because that's how horribly this drama is portraying them as spineless and whiny beings through different characters.

If your definition of cute is a woman acting dumb, chasing a man who seems to show no interest in her and talks like a baby, go for it. I absolutely loathe such spineless characters and cannot waste any more time on this stupid story with absolutely horrible acting by both the leads. The ML is still better but the FM is beyond horrible, especially when the character itself has nothing to offer.

I usually say we should give it a few episodes but come on 6/24 is 25% of the show that I finished in 1.5ish hours because I skipped so much. I definitely gave it a chance and now I regret wasting even 1 minute of my time on this nonsense.

Also, all the characters are just so shallow? Whether it be the ML's sister or grandmother (I saw people commenting non-problematic in-laws but how is it non-problematic when she is allowing the sister to bully her so openly?) or that doctor friend of the FL or even that villain female co-actor. Oh, once again, let's not forget the FL's character. ML and his brother's characters seem to be the only sane ones so far but the acting is so poor on them as well.

I'll just copy my own comment here from one of the replies I made:
1. Why is the actress talking like that? I've lived in China and seen many Chinese shows. Chinese women do not talk like that. I don't know why they have to baby her down so much. It is not attractive at all.

2. I absolutely hate it when shows do this but what's with the FL having no self-respect? Is she not a famous actor? Like her acting does not suit her own supposed character. She can do so much better than a random doctor but yet we see her shamelessly throwing herself at him. It's a different story if they showed anything special that made her fall for him. Here, it literally starts with an apparent eye contact when she was under the influence of drugs??? Makes no absolute sense!

Is this a joke or something? Who writes such stupid scenarios???

Just three episodes. That was my threshold on watching a pile of impossible plot nonsenses!
Spoilers ahead.


This drama's plot is based on tbe following technically impossible scenario. A self proclaimed avenger of Judicial injustices sends via sms on each and every single Korean person's smartphone an Android app ( like this could be even possible, I mean to send a whole app via sms ) in order to use it and vote for or against the execution of an alleged criminal.
The app auto installs ifself lol... but strangely this doesn't bother or worry a good number of people whose smartphones were actually hacked.
Instead they use the auto installed app (a.k.a malware) in order to vote for or against the execution of the criminal instead of freaking out for such a massive hacking incident and call their mobile providers and the Digital Crime Police or whatever such department deals in S. Korea with such cases. Anyway they go on and use the malware to vote not worrying that this app might make their smartphones explode or something!!

The same type of poll is repeated after 15 days with no reactions whatsoever from anyone. The hacker "avenger" is streaming a video too through the malware app straight into the hacked devices asking their owners to vote again via their hacked phones.
Which they do because due to their obviously limited or non existent IQ don' t mind having installed in their phones an app that they never willingly installed themselves, and they don' t care either who hacked their phones, while also no one else is taking any action to prevent them from doing so, either by advising them to delete the auto installed malware app, or disconnect the hacked devices from the mobile network, or take action to shutdown the mobile network temporarily in order to prevent the vote of a second killing. Letting the public vote freely in self arranged referendums, from a malware app for an execution is not so serious as COVID after all! LOL LOL LOL...!
I assume that at the fifth episode (that I didn't bother to watch) the smartphone hacker avenger asks the public if they would like him to execute the S.K prime minister! They vote yes and then justice and democracy prevails!!

And that' s all. I can't bother writing something more about the complete and utter stupidity of this plot concept but I can' t bother either to watch the rest of this nonsense of a drama.

Who writes such stupid scenarios???!

This one caught off guard

As a fan of shows of different genres and made by different countries I can know upfront what kind of show I am getting into when I see the title, the actors and the country of origin. If I am being honest, when I saw this title I created no expectations, because after Color Rush 2, Oh! Boarding House, and First Love Again, my skin is burned. But, the first episode of Once again I have to say is very good: slow at first, but when the “coin drops” it drops for good (if you did watch the episode I am sure that you can pin point this moment). I didn’t know Moon Ji Yong (as Shin Woo) but I was with him, feeling like him, anguished. When Lee Hyundai Jun (as Kang Jo Hoon) said to his friend “I don’t even remember the last time someone said that they loved me”, I could feel what he meant.
I have to admit I was impressed at some points with how solid the editing is.
The music is an important strong point in this show. But I can’t Shazam anything out of it😂

After 2 episodes I am hopeful about this story and these two…

What struck me was how the vibe between them were like WangXian

If anyone doesn't know who WangXian is, please go watch The Untamed or reading the Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation (aka MDZS), or watch the anime or read the manga, or listen to the audio drama. Wide range of entertainment to enjoy it from, just do it.

This series was particularly funny to me, as Tinn's pov is kinda what i imagine lwj's pov to be like whenever he's around wwx. Kinda unhinged, completely head over heels, and of course crazy fanboying. Both likes to put on a cold front, but inside they're literally just squealing like a fan and it's absolutely adorable!! And obvi Gun is the wwx equivalent, dumb and oblivious, super cheerful all the time and surrounded by friends, but of course he lacks the brains element here haha.

I haven't completed the series yet as I'm currently only on ep3, but this was important enough to make me jump here and write a review. But I'm really looking forward to see how their relationship develops

Okay this drama is just so-so for me. There's nothing that makes me mad or frustrated, but also there's nothing that makes me happy or satisfied. The side stories are just meh, the writing also not that good, and the romance is kind of dragging for me. Up until now (eps 11), i don't see any romance chemistry between them, and tbh i just wish the fl leave the company for good. Also idk why but the ml's personality is kinda bad, but they made him look good. I'm fast-forwarding things a lot, like really a lot of moments. I really love janice wu, but i think i can not finish this one.

film parecchio noioso sulle dinamiche scuola-allievi-insegnanti-genitori

Personalmente l'ho trovato palloso fin dalla scelta dei personaggi chiave, in particolare.
Tra i professori.
La coordinatrice scolastica Jung In Jae (Jang Na Ra attrice che dice pochino anche in altri film, con il suo visetto da bambolina, inadatto sia a ruoli forti che sentimentali) è un personaggio incolore e senza spessore almeno fino al 4 episodio e nella parte del 16esimo che ho provato a guardare, fa venir voglia di scappare dall'aula che le è affidata, è l'incarnazione di un buonismo inutile e perdente, come le dice chiaramente uno dei bulli della classe. Il suo co-coordinatore Kang Se Chan (Choi Daniel) è meno peggio di lei, tecnicamente ha qualcosa da dire e più carisma, ma non si mette in gioco fino in fondo, non guarda al bene degli alunni, rimane un passo indietro, non si sporca le mani. Poi c'è finalmente un professore con la P maiuscola: Jo Bong Soo (Yoon Joo Sang) che senza artificiosità arriva direttamente al punto sia con i colleghi che con gli allievi.
Tra gli allievi.
Go Nam Soon (Lee Jong Suk) fa il duro con chi vorrebbe aiutarlo, è uno sfigato con i compagni prepotenti di cui diventa lo zerbino ... non si capisce che personaggio sia e perché abbia questo ruolo.
Gli altri, bulli, deboli, arrivisti, diretti hanno una loro funzione, ma lui non capisco che significato abbia.
Alla fine, ho provato a guardare l'episodio 16, ma il film non affonda mai in modo deciso su una ipotesi o su una possibilità ... rimane sempre sul vago, trasmettendo un senso di impotenza e di sconfitta da parte degli adulti ... boh ... triste e inutile riflessione per quanto mi riguarda, e quindi l'ho lasciato perdere.

If it contains any spoilers, it conserns only first 5 episodes.
==
Firstly: the story.

The link between main characters reminded me of Goblin, which If you ask me is a pretty accurate observation. In both those girl is out of luck and out of family (o.0), good-hearted and strong (in a way), while the guy is a super-being, bound to appear whenever his lady calls. Here though the stories go their separate ways. (Obviously I’m not saying there couldn’t be found more similarities).

I must say I enjoyed most of the character in the show and their relationships. The story was a nice balance of humour, drama and bits of horror.
I liked how the reason for Kong’s love wasn’t ignored. Like - we knew it all along, but it was nice that it was reminded every then and again. Also the way the love all-together was treated was very humane. I like that it was perfectly understandable why she felt the way that she did. I think it shows good writing.
I liked that Sun Mi wasn’t just all fragile; a damsel in distress. /I like her more than the Goblin FL (but maybe that’s something about me)/

And though the overalls feelings were rather positive, there are some negatives that I cannot leave out.
Something that really bothered me was the unnaturality. Which may just be the very essence of kdrama, and it’s romcom genre. Something about the theatricality. How come they have so much monologues? It just seems scenic, and kind of pretentious.

Secondly: the music. As such it wasn’t bad. But it’s not just what, but how. And I didn’t appreciate the use of the ‘main song’. The one that must play in every episode, and it must be every slightly maybe romantic situation, so that I, the viewer don’t have a doubt who is supposed to fall for each other.

As for rewatch value i must admit i don’t know. I wouldn’t watch it again, but then again i rarely do rewatch, so I don’t know.

I’m not such If you could make something out of my rambling I just felt as though that my poinys may’ve accure to someone as well.
PS: As you may’ve notice English is not my first language, so if anything feels oddly worded – not you know why.

*Story*
The Story overall had an interesting Concept.
I mostly started watching this Drama, because of the "book aspect" of it. I want to be a Novelist when I'm older so I think that's the reason I started watching it.
Let me just say this. I think this drama really had potential. But the story just wasn't that great. The concept of it is good though and I would definitely give it another shot of the story was just a bit more enjoyable ;)
I don't know about you, but I don't like it when the main male lead is a Playboy. But that's just my opinion. I didn't finish this, but since it's based on a shoujo manga. They definitely got together in the end.

I only watched 2 episodes. I felt like the story was missing something. It's like I watched an episode, but just felt kinda empty. Like there was nothing drawing me towards the story. I think if you watch the first 1 or 2 episodes and it still doesn't really draw you in. Than it's not worth watching.

*Acting*
I thought the acting was ok. But it was nothing amazing.

*Music*
I think that the music really has an effect on the vibe of the drama. So I liked that they used "clair de lune" and other classical piano pieces. Some how the music really fit the theme of the drama. So I did like the classical music they used, but the rest was average

*Rewatch Value*
I personally dropped this title and even if I finished it, I wouldn't rewatch it again.
