First of all, I don't know if the other versions had better ending, but this one was not well concluded. I might as well say that the ending was kind of open, as it just leave you guessing who's who. The performances, however, were really good. The love triangle might have been weak, but the leading couple had chemistry and were cute together, at least if you set aside the fact that the leading man was a robot.
Now, for the pacing, the drama started strongly and it intriguing to watch. However, it got boring after a while, because everything happened just too slowly and the events were going in circles.

Actually, the answer to the latter is simply ridiculous. The only character I cared for is Wang Joon. Yeah, HJH acted his little heart out. I've always like him but now I understand better why his acting resonate with me. I think the ending was a cop out, aimed to satisfy the two camps. If you are rooting for Young Gu, then you'd take the little movement of his thumb as indication that he has miraculously 'woken up' from his slumber.
Pretty much like Sleeping Beauty. We are to believe Da Da's tears and undying love resurrected Young Gu. If you are in camp Wang Joon, then you would take the umbrella in his car as the same one in the last scene. I dislike Da Da more than Diana by the end of the drama so I hope she ends up with her love bot and live happily ever after. Wang Joon should move on and distance I was just thinking the same thing about Yeo Jin Goo.
Oh, wait, I never liked him in the first place. This just sealed the deal. Not that we care I'm okay with Hotel del Luna. This monstrosity definitely made me think less of him, though. The Japanese version is a lot better. This K-remake does not make any sense. What a failed adaptation! At least it's over I like Yeo Jin goo , but I pray in the name of the Lord for him not to choose this kind of drama anymore, I watch the first quarter of the episodes, but what made me give this drama 6.
I have always been curious so can I ask - what was it about the Japanese version that move you or made you care? I don't mind flaws but a drama is hopeless when we don't even care about the characters. Wasn't Young Gu sweet too? I don't feel anything for YG but I think the character was written to be like the cyborg you described. If I have time and want to spare some, I'd analyze how the writing and delivery make or break a robot.
I only watched here and there, but this show is um dunno how to say this but undercooked severely. It should've been a great idea but it wasn't executed well. The actors tried to do what they could to savage it. Yeo Jin-gu is a cutie, he has such a deep voice lol. He looked like a soft-boi which was made him look approachable and puppy dog-ish. He should return to this type of soft-boi look in a show that's better plotted next time.
Me thinks Viki pre-produced it and KBS was like well we'll just broadcast this since we didn't pay the budget I believe.
Glad that Hotel del Luna has turned out incredibly well for Yeo Jin-gu after this mishap. HJH needs to star in a drama where he is a Joseon military person who was injured in battle the kind of injury that prevents him to return to fighting himself. He proved his bravery and valor in his fighting, so even though he is not upper class, he is given a prestigious post by a prudent king to teach the military arts to upper class children.
But the children hate him because they see his training as "bullying", and they know his lower class roots. Also, he doesn't talk much just generally , so he doesn't defend himself against their accusations, which eventually spread to their parents. Once the parents get involved, a full fledged campaign starts against the "low class" martial arts teacher who is beating up the kids.
Some of the parents are well-intentioned, and others are not, but they are all against him because they believe their kids, and not necessarily unfairly. It starts with the audience thinking he's kind of a bully as well, but as the drama unfolds, it becomes clear that his motivation is entirely to limit the injuries and deaths they sustain when they inevitably have to fight as well because he's seen it and is shaken by it.
I just really love the idea of him in a role where he doesn't talk much, and where these characters that he builds so well through actions and glances rather than words and extreme expressions is fully given a chance to develop. Anyway, I've written the whole thing in my mind.
I think people would watch that. You did watch King in Love, right? I see a fan fic coming This would be good after he returns from the military because he'll be older and would fit your storyline better. I did see that, and I can see why you'd think this is where my brain-script came from, but actually, I see his character in this as far less selfless and willing to take a backseat than he was in KiL.
In my mind, this character was all about showing off how great he was at martial arts before he was injured and forced to quit. So he loved it, but he hated seeing other people injured and killed due to THEIR inability, so he pushes them to extremes almost like bullying.
This character is not NICE in my mind, just honorable and thoughtful. Also, he has a one-track mind, which makes it hard to develop a life outside of his military career. I just always like stories where people's lives don't turn out like they thought, and they struggle against their new realities, but ultimately come out stronger for it.
I think that's true to what many of us deal with in real life, and I think he's the kind of actor who could show that with actions rather than words.
I was thinking more about what Rebel did for Yoon Kyun Sang, for example, though this would obviously be different from that YKS is very good at talking. I just always like stories where people's lives don't turn out like they thought, and they struggle against their new realities, Me, too.
That's one reason I am loving The Untamed. Yes, in KIL he came fully formed and didn't need a growth or redemption arc. He was the steady character. I've never watched any versions of this story or read the manga it's based on although I plan to read it at some point so forgive me if I'm talking out the side of my mouth because I don't know what I'm talking about, but every version of this drama seems to do pretty poorly or at the very least has mixed results with audiences and are all plagued with writing flaw after writing flaw, and I'm wondering if the reason is to do with their being something wrong with the source material that the adaptation writers aren't skilled enough to fix.
All of the adaptations that I know about mainly seem to have a lot of trouble making up their mind about who they want the female lead to end up with at the end or just with making the choice clear to the audience, and the most logical explanation to me for why All of them have that same problem would be that the manga must have that problem as well.
This isn't going to stop me from reading the manga, but it does keep me from watching the adaptations as that's just not a viewing experience I'm interested in having. Has anyone here actually read the manga and know if this problem stems back that far? Or does the manga not struggle with that, and in that case, why do all of the adaptations seem to?
Or am I just making this all up in my head? Just before she left the robot thumb moved dat to say dat he is still alive so it definitely the robot dat game back to life.. And for the record wang joon is way more taller than the robot. The thing that I dont like is the ending, it made me confused. But anyways it was a great drama. Hope there's a season two.
But wang joon had a green umbrella in his car the last time he came to visit da da before going to Hollywood. I think they should continue this movie because it must have an happy ending it doesn't make sense like this. Am I the only one hoping that the man under the umbrella is Ma Wang Joon? I'd like to think that she still end up with a human hehe. I'd like to think that she still end up with a human hehe besides before Ma Wang Joon went to Hollywood he had the same umbrella on his car I think you're missing the point here..
When ma wang joon is in the car he have green umbrella. Yes, young gu did move a little bit.. So for me in my opinion or theory about the ending.. But still that doesn't change the fact for us korean drama lovers on thinking what would happen next.. Would young gu recover after da da spent years with ma wang joon on hollywood as a makeup artist?.. Thanks for reading!! Like hotel del luna also. I want kim soo hyun!!!!
Its Ma Wang Joon under the umbrella. There is a scene with the same umbrella in his car after he told Da Da about going to Hollywood. Also she is holding bags that might be suitcases so she might have changed her mind about going or was giving Wang Joon something to bring to the states.
Plus if it was Young gu she would of probably started crying and hugged him but she just stood there. Maybe Wang Joon could have met with her to give back the umbrella so she smiled as a thanks.
There might be a possibility it is young gu because he moved but than how did he get the umbrella from ma Wang Joon's car? By physical evidence, the one in the ending is zero nine assuming the only choice is MWJ or zero nine. Since both character wears practically flat shoes, it is zero nine since the character's chin is below eom da da's eyes. The one in the end was not Wang Joon. This is not the case in the ending scene where the one holding the umbrella has his chin below Da Da's eyes.
Aside from Yeong Gu's finger moving, there are several hints in the end and these are 1 The falling snow Yeong Gu's hope of having the snow fall while his nail is colored 2 The umbrella was always a sign of Yeong Gu's care for Da Da 3 No Bo Won and Mr.
Ko said that they will "Try harder to make the world Yeong Gu and Da Da dreamed of" 4 While it was shown that the umbrella was on Wang Joon's car it was not show that he drove off with it, since it belong to Yeong Gu he might have left it before driving off.
Note: The Japanese Version had the robot revived after 3 years. I cried a lot because of this story. This story is very close to me.
About the other explaining I'm not so sure, because I'm yet to watch the show. But I definitely agree with you about cliffhanger or unclear endings. Given such dramas, seriously who wants sad ending? Hi-bye mama, I always knew what to expect. But this one didn't need to be unclear or upto the audience to decide what to think of the ending.
Life is already a screw-up, dramas don't need to be. They could've just shown that, yes it is possible. I'm still in confused that in the last episode was it the robot that came with the umbrella for da da?? I think its ma wan joon, the umbrella was in his car before she left her at her house.
More realistic who knows this would be their second chance. I must admit that this adaptation is the one where I cried the most. I was in a 2 year relationship yet I moved on from it easily one-two weeks after the break up. About Wang Joon: Keep in mind that they were forced to keep their relationship in secret for 7 years, and somewhere in those 7 years Wang Joon already got tired of keeping their relationship, the flower black boxes was just a good excuse for him to execute the break up and even Wang Joon himself admitted that.
Wang Joon only fully took notice of how precious Da Da is when he saw that someone else Yeong Gu was taking care of her. While that is a valid human emotion it was still wrong and toxic of him to lash out and gaslight Da Da and Yeong Gu. About Um Da Da: I liked her when she decided to break up with Wang Joon due to the mistreatment she was receiving and that was selfcare but after that I disliked her character in the first half of the show, she was extremely insensitive towards Yeong Gu and used him a lot for her own advantage.
She was inconsistent about Wang Joon too. But she was pitiful, she was an orphan. Her mother died, her father died, she had no siblings, no signs of having any relatives in the series too.
The person who took care of her properly after her father was Yeong Gu, she clearly had issues with that due to being an orphan and that is probably one of the reasons why her attachment for Yeong Gu is stronger than Wang Joon. About Yeong Gu: Not gonna lie, thinking about this guy really breaks my heart. He was the most painful character to watch in the whole series.
Almost everyone mistreated him. He was always the one adjusting to everyone around him so no wonder he was hurting inside. He was so pure for the world. He was the most pitiful character of all and he deserved more to life.
Yeong Gu is the character I was able to connect so well that I wanted him all the happiness. The plot and take of this adaptation was interesting yet they have failed a lot on stuff. I cried more than I thought I would. I think its wang joon under the umbrella so you can be happy.
