How do you even make 10 minute episodes slow burn?
I probably have a good headline in one of the reviews, so I will look for it as I look for the reviews. Which is going to take me forever because it has been forever. It gets an 8.3 out of 10 from me. I am a dumbass, and I just realized that you can go to the episode tab and find your reviews and not scroll through all of them and get sidetracked.
I started this on June 22, 2023, and finished it today, October 17, 2023. Its been a while, so I am going through the reviews. I am going to be honest; I wasn't emotionally invested enough until the end, so I don't know anyone's names, and its very embarrassing. I was confused to start it off. Kang Gook and Han Tae Joo had the spoiled brat and just "puts up with" dynamic, and I could get behind that, so it was a pretty good start, and we had the whole thing with the ears, which they didn't really touch on past the first few episodes because I forgot about it.
I watched the next episode on August 3rd. Damn, I spaced this one out. I was surprised that Tae Joo didn't break his back with Kang Gook through him on the ground like a rag doll, bro. I was confused about why I hadn't finished it. It was so short, but I couldn't get into it, and that's what took me forever to finish it. They were making the 10-minute episodes slow-burn. It was crazy.
Once again, I was complaining about the 10 minute episodes feeling very long and hard to get through, and I couldn't even remember what happened in them because they were so short and I watched them so spread out, so I was struggling because it also wasn't really that interesting. They weren't doing a whole bunch, and it was just one-sided love on Kang Gook's part. It was getting annoying.
I was complaining about the long 10-minute epilogues again. It was getting to my head, bro. They tried to have a plot, but it had so many holes in it that it was hard to have one, and they just end up sitting there and nothing gets done. They only get stuff done in the last 2 minutes of the 10 minute episodes, which makes it unbearable to watch. They should have filled the earlier episode with the same amount of plot as the last few, and I would have finished it sooner than I did.
And today I set out to finally finish this very long show. Episode 5 was the first good one since the first episode. The dodgeball game was very cute, and it symbolized how their relationship is going throughout the show up until this point. Tae Joo being jealous was very funny, just because of the way he acts and how his personality is. I just think its funny. And seeing the character act out of character with smiling and laughing was actually very cute and made me gush. Kang Gook kept getting his feelings played by Tae Joo throughout the whole thing, and he only keeps putting up with his shit and coming back to him because its his job.
The acting got better towards the end, and so did the plot. Tae Joo was going to get kidnapped and sent away, and then they would relinquish their true feelings for each other. Too predicale. Kang Gook is a dumbass, bro. I understand where he is coming from, but he finally likes you back and realizes your true personality, and you shattered his heart into a million pieces. The confession scene was good; it gave me chills.
The fight scene was one of the best I have seen in a while; it was pretty realistic, and good for them for making it like that. Bro was fighting for his love like his life depended on it, technically, because Tae Joo is his life. They can endure so much more than they know, and this episode showed that.
They really got their happy ending robbed from them. Too many shows are doing that now, bro. Someone gets sent off to usually England, and they have a shitty reconnection, and the show just freaking ends, bro. It gets on my nerves. This show definitely turned around for the better. I am going to have a hard time finding all of the episodes because it has been so long, but they changed this for the better, and I am glad they did, because I was not going to get through it if they didn't. Good for them despite their happy ending of getting robbed. I would recommend it because the last few epiodes were actually pretty good. That's it. okay bye!
