Finally got a chance to watch episode 1 and 2 with English subtitles. I also ended up watching 3 and 4 raw because there is no self control rlytearpls.png
 
I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I liked the pacing, music and the editing as well. The actors did a great job. I loved both the emotional side (from the child actors) and lighthearted side (from the older actors) of the episodes. Won x Rin relationship seems really sweet, I also liked the bickering between San x Won and San not being able to refuse gentle Rin was cute lol XD
It was a very promising start. I look forward to finding out more about the characters and how it will impact the relationships between them. 

 

It was a very cute episode and I love Eun San already, I'm happy she was given a lot of things to do. I am a bit worried about the whole triangle (cos why would you turn a story that is different for once into the typical triangle) but I'm more worried about the lack of love-line from Eun San on the official relationship chart... hope this doesn't mean they think her feelings are unimportant or don't need to be defined in order to focus on the guys only.

 
I personally thought that was because they didn't want to give away who San falls for.

 

Although, I hope they stay true to the books regarding the outcome of the characters.

I am confused, did episode 3&4 already air? Because on Viki it says I have to wait 4-5 days for the next episodes

 

I always buy passes for yoona's dramas in both Viki and dramafever in the end I have to go to pirate websites because some are faster

 

Episode 3 and 4 was aired on Tuesday the 18th^^

However, I think Viki is releasing 2 half hour episodes as hour long episodes. So, in their site episode 3 (5 in Korea) will be released next Monday.

 

Yeah~ I try to watch it on Viki as well because they are the ones who bought the rights, but the other sites are just a bit faster sometimes.

Finally watched the last episode:

 

Overall, I really enjoyed this drama. It wasn’t perfect with some problems with the writing and pacing/development but it was still better than most K-dramas I have watched. The acting and the music in this drama was absolutely beautiful. It was interesting to watch a drama focused more on friendship rather than just romance. The experience of this drama definitely heightens when you focus mainly on that friendship.

 

The talk about practice life and passing showers was very poignant. It was heart-warming to see Won, San and Rin all willing to sacrifice themselves because someone of their calibre needed to be the villain in Yuan’s eyes. My heart broke when Rin confessed only to reject something happening, I feel like San would’ve accepted his confession if he had waited.

 

That scene where Rin nearly gets killed, the guards crying was so heart-breaking. It really looked like he was going to die.

 

Won’s character definitely showed growth, him finally understanding letting go being the best option for them. It still made me sad that he now has to live his life without the two people he cares most. In the end when San waves to say goodbye but Won doesn’t even though he does hesitate because that would feel final. It was as if he didn’t want that chapter to end just yet because despite everything he was the happiest when he was with them.

 

The ending was very bittersweet with Rin x San finally leaving together but Won having to be on his own.

I do wish the drama was longer so that it could follow the book more closely. I would've liked to see proper development especially for supporting characters. Despite the main focus being the friendship, the romantic and political aspect of the story did need better writing. That being said, I did really have fun watching this drama. The actors did a dynamite job, chemistry between the characters were great and the music really amplified the scenes.
