Wow this is so good, why is it so underrated?
This drama is soooo good! It's so, so, so good. And the ending doesn't screw it all up! Yay! And if like me, you love a KDrama that squeezes your heart and makes you cry (I cry a lot anyway but for this I CRIED) then you'll love this too.
I don't say this lightly but this is a bit Healer-esque - the hero, orphaned and separate from society for his own reasons, learns to get back into society with help from heroine... and also like Healer, wasn't popular domestically but has more fans internationally. Let's give this the love it deserves!!
... and for anyone who loves a great kiss scene this one has so many, the ML does GREAT KISSING.
The FL is really great but the ML KILLS it in this drama. He does all the emotions so well, there is one scene he switches between 5, barely needs any words he just does them all with his face and his eyes. And he has one of the best smiles in KDrama surely?
Other things I really loved:
- The central romance. Every time these guys were on the screen it was great, whether they were bickering, doing banter, all the romance, all the pain, they lit up the screen when they were together. The actors have amazing chemistry and do such great acting with their eyes. The scenes after the "reset" were so painful but so good. The scene where he counts down his fingers to "fold" in the drinking game, totally killed me! The other scene that I loved was also after the reset, he rings "President Cho" and she breaks down as soon as she hears him on the phone, and then in meteor shower scene she admits she if she heard his voice again she wouldn't be able to resist going to find him. *the feels!*
- The way they got to revisit the emotions and their joint story, both in the locked warehouse and in the meteor shower scene were beautiful. Sometimes dramas leave out too much of this opening of hearts of things their characters went through and just jump to the reconciliation scene.
- We never quite knew what was happening, so I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through seeing how the whole story would get resolved.
- The Santa Maria crew were so cute and funny!
Discussion, questions and spoilers below:
- did we ever find out who Madame X is? Did i miss that?
- this drama had very few things that bothered me but one of them was the SUPER BAD English speaking actors. seriously if you're even a semi decent actor get yourself to Korea (and they also need to subtitle the Korean actors who speak english, especially the older ones ;p)
- i wanted to see the scene where he gives her the necklace - but OMG the beach scene (the one I mean where he switches between 5 emotions with so few words)
- and anyone else prefer Pi with curly hair and glasses?!
- oh and i wanted to see the new Aji3 - i was hoping for a cameo from a famous actor :D
