Ah, I remember seeing people mention DOTS in the comments online when CLOY was airing and it always drove me nuts (same as with You are my hero) . Maybe because I’m one of the few people that was lukewarm about DOTS (it was enjoyable), so I really wanted people to judge this drama on it’s own and discuss it for what it was instead of constantly comparing it to DOTS .
Didn’t know there was such a CLOY vs DOTS war going on though .
All of the references in it had me laughing though
I mean… there are a very limited number of popular military dramas, so it makes people compare when they watch. You unconsciously build expectations for the drama based on your previous experience. With YAMH, it was nearly impossible not to compare because it was the same military-medical fusion. At the same time, all of them should be judged as standalones because they ARE standalones. All three were very enjoyable, rewatchable dramas, and my rating or liking will always vary with time. I try not to compare dramas because of that. When I was watching/rewatching YAMH, i could have sworn it was better than DOTS, but then I rewatched DOTS and fell for Yoo Si Jin all over again
However, i have to say that I skipped more stuff in CLOY than in the other two(relatively, considering that YAMH is more than double the length of the other two). I just wasn’t interested in the politics/her company and the second couple… though I did bawl my eyes out over their story in the end, I skipped almost all their scenes. Since YAMH and DOTS had both medical and military genres, they had less time for politics and evil old men.
I did, too! Since @jadecloud88 said she loves it, and I knew it had to be good if she liked it, and so far I’m liking it a lot; as long as it stays on track w/o going around in circle romance story.
Very true. For me it also depends on my mood.
Have you ever gone back to a drama you rated and thought: “What was I thinking?” or “It really wasn’t that bad…”
A Business Proposal was so cute, just the right amount of fluf so far, just what I needed. I don’t care if it’s cringe or corny. Everyone needs fluf from time to time. Can’t wait for monday.
This is the best Chinese Movie I’ve seen so far bc Jackie Chan mastery is in it. I simply love all his movies (especially the fantasy ones). I wish him health and many many more years of his wonderful creations in the movie realm.
I wanted to join!! actually, I was wondering when are we going to start our next watch party, just let me know! lol
I was thinking about Yummy cells, not sure if anyone is interested.
Ok, this is the problem that I have when I’m watching just airing shows; that makes me watch another show in the middle of it.
I’m watching Military prosecutor Doberman and F4, both are great shows but, I have to wait a whole week lol
So, yesterday I started watching this:
It looks like a good one, I was just watching around, this wasn’t even on my list, but…
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.
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.
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
