no, it was one of the OST with 'unknown' singer, the title is 'Somebody', but this time its Shi Hoo's version, haha.

Should just let Jonghyun sings it

yea, I really dont understand why. They let go of Jung Yu Yeon, and not giving chance for Jonghyun. I think even Seolhyun is better than that unknown singer

do you guys want Orange Marmalade OTP Badges? 

it could be Seolhyun x Yeo Jingoo

or Seolhyun x Jonghyun

or Seolhyun with Jingoo and Jonghyun :hurr:

 

I think the 2nd badge would be really popular... 2nd male lead syndrome has never been this bad...  :ahmagah:

as you may know, there will be only one episode left. And I want to ask your opinion who have watched ep 1 - 11.

 

The rating for ep 11 dropped again, to 2.6%. Well, there might be a lot of factors which made the rating dropped, maybe I wont discuss it now, but after the drama finished. But I think now we can already say that the drama is far from success.

 

This is the reactions to ep 11, cr: kkuljaem

 

1. [+1,262, -149] This premiered the same day as 'Producer' but are there people watching it? Would not rather see Yeo Jin Goo donate his talents in dramas like this

2. [+889, -57] This drama has been airing for a while now..

3. [+640, -109] Fnc should get Seolhyun to practice her acting

4. [+109, -61] Been watching this drama and 'Producer' when it was still airing. The sageuk in the middle was an error but you can't really compare it with 'Producer'. Yeo Jin Goo and Seolhyun have good chemistry and Seolhyun's does emotional acting quite well. A whole lot better than Lee Yeon Hee. Non-viewers should shut up

5. [+88, -28] This drama sure is long..

6. [+79, -39] Am I the only who likes this drama?....

7. [+58, -31] Yeo Jin Goo's acting is jjang and he matches well with Seolhyun

8. [51, -24] The finale's next week  ã…œã…œJaemin-ah, Mari-ya.......

9. [+23, -5] Yeo Jin Goo looks good with his new hairstyle

10. [+19, -4] It's alright. I find some parts a bit silly but it managed to keep the fun. Seolhyun and Jonghyun's acting seems to have worsen. I feel sorry for Jin Goo who's all alone in saving the sucky plot

 

 

So, what is your opinion about the leads' acting? Especially Seolhyun and Jonghyun. Do you think their acting seems worsen like some knetizens said?

they're doing fine. netizens being bitchy as usual

I also think the same. Im agree with the comments #4, I assume FNC haters have invaded articles about Orange Marmalade without watching at all. It wont change my opinion at all, that Seolhyun is one of my favorite actress, and Jonghyun's acting also really good and consistent in this drama.

 

But Im curious about other viewers' opinion. Maybe Im the only one who can see that? (two including you? lol)

 

what happened to viki's timed comments?i can't see them anymore :cry:

umm, idk. What is timed comments? Tbh I dont watch the episodes from viki, lol

Before posting Lollypip's review, I want to say something first.

As a fan of both the drama and the webtoon, I'd say that Im satisfied with the drama, but not really satisfied. Simply because its highly possible that they've erased the 2 best scenes from the webtoon, one of them is near the ending.

 

The other was when Mari almost died by saving Soo Ri

 

Those scenes were very emotional, and Im sure Seolhyun can do well for that, so why they dont add it? After watching episode 11, I felt like they only need 10 more minutes to finish the drama. But who knows, I hope they will surprise me with the last episode.

 

Anyway seems like Lollypip loved episode 11 so much

Orange Marmalade: Episode 11

So much cute! Emotions are running so high, there’s practically hearts flying out of everyone’s eyes. Old loves are beginning to be rekindled and new bonds are forged. And as Jae-min tries his best to recall the memories he’s lost, enlisting Ma-ri’s help in the process, he may actually remember a lot more than he ever bargained for.

I’m such a happy little recapper right now! There’s no worse feeling than loving a show, then watching it slowly disappoint you, and there was a time when I worried that Orange Marmalade was going to go that route. But these last two episodes have given me back that sweet glittery feeling I had at the beginning of the show, with all the cute and adorable moments. The show has taken a lot of flak for not being what fans of the manhwa expected, and that’s perfectly fair because from what I understand, there’s really very little to tie toe drama to the manhwa other than the characters and most basic premise. But I truly think that for what it is, Orange Marmalade is a little gem of a drama. It’s not perfect, and I have some quibbles about how the pacing was handled, but all in all I have really enjoyed it (and I don’t expect next week’s finale to change that).

 

I did like the sageuk section of the story quite a lot, and feel much more informed about the dramaverse now that we’re back in it. It was nice to see (rather than just be told) the struggles and hardships that vampires in general and our characters in particular, went through in a different time period when the prejudices weren’t so different. The characters and their behavior make so much more sense, now that we understand the problems that vampires went through when they first revealed themselves, and why it makes it difficult for them to integrate into society, even hundreds of years later. And this episode in particular did a lot to tie the two timelines together and make it all make sense.

 

And finally, we’re getting some character growth from Jae-min! I like Ja-emin’s first step towards Ma-ri being one of fairness — he needs her, and she needs him. He may not be happy about the situation, but he’s willing to help her in return for her helping him regain his memories. I appreciate, even if he’s still not accepting of vampires as a group just yet, that he does see Ma-ri as an individual and not just a set of fangs and nothing else. I thought it was very mature of him, as class president and as his half of his bargain with Ma-ri, to take away the class’s ability to object towards her. He will watch her, so they can concentrate on studying — it’s actually pretty clever, because their whole objection to Ma-ri is based on, “What if she goes crazy and bites someone?†Well, now someone is watching her, and they have no high horse from which to persecute her anymore. Not only was that personally mature of him, but it speaks well for the man he will someday be.

Well done, Jae-min… I’ve been asking for some maturity from him since the beginning, and he’s finally delivering. I’m also happy that this time around, he’s not just saying that it’s okay for Ma-ri to be a vampire because he likes her, and so he’ll accept her despite her flaws. He seems to be actually thinking about his prejudice, and he’s also treating the other vampires he knows with much more consideration. I wouldn’t call it respect, and I wouldn’t even call it acceptance just yet, but Jae-min has certainly stopped making excuses to treat them as less than equals. Before, it felt as though he liked Ma-ri so he made it okay in his head for her to be a vampire, but he didn’t change his thinking about vampires in general. This time, he truly appears to be rethinking his prejudice because treating them as equals is the right thing to do, in and of itself. His feelings about Ma-ri are still the catalyst, but they aren’t his excuse anymore.

 

I’m also happy for Shi-hoo, that he’s at least taking a chance for happiness with another girl. At first it felt a little sudden for him to be calling Ah-ra his girlfriend after only a few interactions, but then I realized it wasn’t, so much. When they first met there were definitely some sparks of interest between them, but they were both so wrapped up in someone else that they didn’t really realize it. Now that they’re accepting that they’re not going to get Jae-min and Ma-ri, it makes sense to see what they could have together. And I love that Shi-hoo admitted his vampire status to her, and that she accepted it pretty well. I think they make a really good couple, honestly. Ma-ri and Shi-hoo only fight whenever they talk, but Ah-ra has the spunk to keep Shi-hoo, and his bossy mouth, in their place. He needs someone that can give him some boundaries, and Ah-ra looks like just the girl to do that.

 

I’m definitely going to be pleased with the show in general, if the finale next week can wrap things up as well as it seems it will do. I don’t think I’ve looked forward to a final show this much in a long time, and I can’t wait to see how everything ends up. I just have one request — can we have the bromance back, please?

there's actually a lot of memorable scenes from the webtoon that can be included in the drama

but with inclusion of saeguk parts in the drama it took away the opportunity for it to happen

 

among the thing i'm really happy about is Han Shi Hoo's role in the drama. the PD developed him well as compared to the webtoon( i find him really interesting in webtoon albeit him being an ass)

 

Ah Ra's changes are not as noticeable as in the webtoon ( where she end up befriending Ma Ri) but i guess she's less mean now ( and tbh she's the one that can handle Han Shi Hoo's rebel self- i actually root for them in the webtoon instead of him with crazy red hair girl)

 

Jae Min and Ma Ri's romance is underdeveloped in present time ( it seems so fickle from Jae Min's side compared to what Ma Ri willing to do for him)

 

too bad we're not able to see the growing friendship between Ma Ri and Soo Ri

yup, Shi Hoo's character is definitely more well-developed in the drama, compared to the webtoon. Jonghyun and CNBlue fans should be satisfied with this.

 

I still cant make up my mind about Jaemin and Ahra, whether their characters are better than the webtoon version or not. I need to watch the finale first. But one thing for sure, Jaemin becomes the first main character here, not Mari like the webtoon version. Im still thinking that one of the reason they added Sageuk part, was because the main actor is Yeo Jin Goo. After watching the sageuk part, I came to understand why Yeo Jin Goo is called 'The Young Prince of Joseon'.

 

Not sure how I feel about Mari either. There were times when I found a touching moments of her in the drama (like episode 3), which was not originally from webtoon. But something feels missing if they dont add the 2 best scenes from the webtoon. If they add those scenes and Seolhyun do well, there will be less people criticizing her acting.

Yeo Jin Goo is strangely not carrying the drama solely on his shoulder as expected. idk why but i find Jae Min annoying. he's grating on my nerves more than the webtoon ver. he has his shining moments in the dramas but at times he needs a slap across his face :derp:

 

i felt for Seolhyun as Ma Ri but i have to agree that there's a sense of detachment in her portrayal of Ma Ri. the way Ma Ri is written for the drama is probably the reason. too much focus on her pinning for Jae Min making her not layered ( as if she don't care about anything else)
