I am the same anon from SD1D ask. I have seen the bonus scene and I know abt the movie. But there is very little info abt it. This show has such a hold on me it will take me long time to truly enjoy another contemporary romance. I am not the type to cry easily but I was full on sobbing in the last episode. Even that scene in opening sequence where both of them look at each other and there is a single tear in HYZ's eye make me emotional. I never thought a Chinese song from 90s would affect me like this but Last Dance is just perfect for this OTP

1/2

2/2 SD1D was perfection in terms of acting, storytelling, music and cinematography. Everything tied up in the end and every character got proper resolution. Only thing tht bothers me is that WQS's story never changed. But other than that I have no major problems.

I am also not interested in the Korean remake tbh. idt AHS can do justice to this role, I've seen JYB in Vincenzo only so I don't know much abt her acting. Thing is Alice and Greg were so phenomenal in the original they have been imprinted in my mind. I also liked the more 'low-key but epic' approach to storytelling. I am sure the remake would be more romanticised and certain scenes would be become unnecessarily dramatic. I wonder which song they will use in place of Last Dance. Is there a really popular korean song from 90s that could be used or will they just make up one?

oh man this show got me crying too! i want to say it was episode 9...where jun jie is released from prison and all the fallout that happens afterward. just totally gutted me. and yeah, you know it's A Show when the credits get you emo (shut UP @ that goldfish metaphor i see it!!). aside from the original OST, the track "embrace" by mayday just crushed me too (WQS's flashback song).

WQS's arc is the only (but Big) problem i have with the drama. the effects of transmigration/bodyswapping is explored with yunru/we see how it affects her life, but wqs is tragically unexplored and underdeveloped. the Gaynst arc doesnt sit well with me because the repercussions of say, a son who was persecuted for being gay having a girlfriend 2 years later, don't get addressed by the narrative (and it's indicated that wqs was out, at least to his parents, with the pride items in his room). i read that the wqs scenes were inspired by/meant to call attention to a real-life bullying incident, but it's still something that was like...needing to be moved further. i know a lot is restricted by censorship, but still

re: korean remake, jyb is a great actress (i loved her in be melodramatic/havent seen vincenzo), so i think she could do justice to the role. kang hoon also has jun jie vibes from what ive seen of him in little women. but yeah. li zi wei is such a tough role to pull off and i think ahs is a great comedic actor but idk about the rest of it. the alice + greg + patrick chemistry is a huge freaking order to meet up with as well

idk enough about 90s kmusic, unfortunately! but im sure they'd find an appropriate song. if there's one thing im not ehhhh about re: the remake, it's that im sure it will have a high production value

(all this said, i will be happy to eat crow in the k-remake does something interesting! ESPECIALLY if it builds on the wqs storyline)
