I’ve been watching Sungkyunkwan Scandal off and on for the last few days and I do like it. Even though he’s more of a minor character, Song Joong-ki’s character is just so…I don’t know. Funny. That guy really has some talent (IMO) because he can play anything from a jokester to a bada** so convincingly. (It doesn’t hurt that he’s not hard on the eyes either, LOL). I do like pretty much anything Park Min Young is appearing in as well. At this point in the drama, only one of her classmates knows her true identity so it is bound to get interesting.

This one needs trigger warnings: Sicide, Mrder, Attempted R*pe

Just finished this… I kept seeing people mentioning it. I’ve been passing it over all these years. I don’t know why though when I’m actually a huge fan of time travel.

Not sure what I expected but before I watched this drama I finished this other time travel called, “Shining For One Thing” and that one was being compared to, Some Day or One Day, a lot. That’s why I decided to finally check this out.

I didn’t expect much because I was let down by SFOT already… but this was completely different. Even though both plots mainly centered around high school, SDorOD had adult life weaved into the story. There’s more depth in SDorOD which made the story meaningful. I don’t even know where to begin. The time lapse was confusing at first. I had to make a diagram of the years and who was who during what time period.

Overall, I think the love story of Li Zi Wei & Huang Yu Xuan is timeless. I feel like they could have made it one episode longer but that might defeat the purpose of making it a sentimental ending. This is up to par with Chicago Typewriter in terms of time travel made right.

Before I end my drama rambling/review, I’d like to say Chen Yun Ru was one selfish beep beep but I guess if she wasn’t, our leads would’ve never met otherwise.

9/10 I would re-watch again. p.s. The theme song is… amazing.

I started but decided to let it go, I couldn’t get with the quirks of the characters, 'err, :face_with_hand_over_mouth: or chess playing character logics. :smile:

Anyone currently watching this? I got up to 5. I haven’t developed an opinion on it yet since it’s still too early. I went down the rabbit hole of comments and people do not like this. The thing that bugs me is the synopsis on all sites do not match.

If anyone is caught up past ep. 10, please tell me your thoughts/comments on this show. Somehow, I trust discussion more than the review sections of rviki. :sweat_smile:

When I saw the name for this new drama, I thought it sounded familiar. Turns out it was. And they are both C-dramas, right? How do you turn out two different dramas with the same name in consecutive years? That’s not confusing at all. LOL

I haven’t started this one and the trailer didn’t convince me.

The Chinese titles are different and it’s not the same network. It’s not the first time this has happened. I admit it’s a bit annoying.

I watch BL dramas most of the time :

  • Semantic error (OMG love the chemistry, Park Seo Ham is so handsome :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:)
  • TharnType (the acting is not always great but it’s a cute drama)
  • Cherry blossoms after winter (the main character makes me want to cry :frowning: )

It’s my 3rd month on viki, can’t wait to watch more great dramas !

Just started the Fox Fairy while I wait for new eps of other shows. 3/4 into the first ep, I came here to see if anyone else is watching this and whether it gets better… So far it’s not bad per se, but the pacing seems WAY OFF what I would expect. If it weren’t for the synopsis I would be completely confused by his miraculous healing, injuries, etc.

So far it reminds me a little bit of The General’s Lady and other young general with arranged wife sent to the battlefront cdramas, but it’s as though it started halfway in. Not sure whether I’ll stick with this one.

I know I say this at least once a week, but A Business Proposal is SO GOOD! :heart_eyes: The writing, the acting, the comedy, the romance… it’s the drama I’ve been waiting for

Four episodes in, and the story is starting to take shape.
At first, Ahn Hyo Seop was a little stiff with his tsundere act(seemed like he was channeling PSJ’s character from WWWSK) but he’s eased into the role, making it his own. It feels so nice to see his growth as an actor… his character is so different from the one in 30 but 17. Its like he’s made a beautiful transition from being a supporting actor to good ML material.
I love the ML now. Looks like he’s going to hold his own in the very competitive field for good tsundere-softie CEO MLs with tragic backgrounds :grin: I love that the writer pays attention to the little things, the little looks, the little actions… so immersing.

The FL is sooooo good! I have never watched Kim Sejeong before… she reminds me of Lindsay Lohan’s old movie characters, like Herbie and The Parent Trap. She’s your typical cheerful, clumsy, animated sweetheart FL, but she plays the role really really well. She balances the different sides of her personality very well.

I like how both ML and FL are dedicated to their jobs and share the love of experimenting with food. ML is a workaholic, and we actually see him working, for once in Dramaland :laughing: Though he doesn’t know who FL really is, he likes her inventive proposals and ideas(she’s a food researcher).

This is one of those dramas where I love the entire cast. FL and SFL have such a strong, funny friendship, and ML and SFL are like brothers. The grandfather is one of the highlights of the show… you know, that one hidden gem in the supporting cast. I loved him in Suspicious Partner, and I love him even more in this drama. He is a good, kindhearted, wise chaebol, when he’s not being a dorky kdrama fan pushing his grandson to have grandkids and punishing him for being a bad boyfriend :joy::joy: Every kdrama couple needs a good shipper, and this old man is the best.

I liked AHS in, Lovers of the Red Sky, so I’m looking forward to his role in this. He’s been improving at a good pace and I’m glad he’s gotten the opportunity for ML again right after LOTRS.

I watched Sejeong in School 2017 and I must say, she’s a natural actress for being an “idol.” There’s a lot of prejudice against idol actors/actresses but I personally adore them. I think Sejeong (from what I’ve seen of her) is doing well. Her last drama wasn’t that appealing but I’ll watch this one once it gets passed Ep. 9.

I’ll be finishing up Tears in Heaven tonight. I have to say, I am so disappointed in this C-drama. It started off with such promise and I watched probably the first 25 or 30 episodes with no problem because it was interesting. (It is a 41 episode drama. I read that it was originally slated to be 45 eps.) But then the storyline changed from romance (sparse) between the FL and ML to more of a business survival mode for the ML so it’s been tough for me to watch without fast forwarding. This will not be a re-watch for me. I’m just going to gut it out and finish since I am so close to the end. This one ended up not being my cup of tea.

I was a big fan of ‘Skate Into Love’, so I thought I’d probably like this drama. It’s really similar in so many ways. The two leads are really sweet and had great chemistry. Their particular story followed a lot of my favorite plotlines/tropes, and I really enjoyed them. They had a lot of the simple, flirty moments that come with new love - stuff I wish we got more of in romance dramas as a whole. Other than that, however, I ended up skipping a fair bit of this because I wasn’t as attached to the secondary characters. I realized that ultimately it made me want to rewatch ‘Skate Into Love’ rather than wanting more of this one. I do want more of this male lead, though (He was also really great in ‘Forever Love’).

I enjoyed the story too, like you said it is slow. and did finally finish it.

I am wanting to start watching this one, and hopefully it’s going to be a good one. but of course, a question pops up.

looks & sounds familiar, like, and don’t mean to sound like a wet blanket. but guess I will have to watch and see

to this one.
