The story with a more realistic ending

The time we spend being reckless with friends and passionate about life would end up being one of the best memories of your life and at the same time, it would also be the one to pass by most quickly - well, that is what this series is all about. I can't help but loving all the story buildings for both the main leads and their friends throughout the entire drama. To have such amazing support and motivation by your side just when you hit the bottomless pit of your life is simply a miracle and a huge blessing. I loved how beautifully NHD and BYJ grew alongside each other as their life progressed and at the same time, how delicately they expressed their love for each other just at the right time - it felt like all of it was meant to be.

But then, in the end, I just couldn't absorb their breakup really well. They have been good to each other, grew and motivated each other, GENUINELY LOVED EACH OTHER and then got separated just like that? It's just sad that they felt that letting go was easier than holding on after all these time. After all these time of endless laughter, happy moments and endless dreams, it was easier for them to let go of each other instead of working hard enough to stay in each other's life.

As I was watching the end of this drama, I was getting my heart broken little by little and just to think of that, for most people in the world, they do not end up being with the person whom they truly love was even more of a painful realization for me. I understand that they didn't want to feel sorry for each other after one point, but was letting go really worth it?

Anyways, I would highly recommend the drama for its good feelings and (to some extend) a realistic ending for viewers who are looking for a good drama. You won't be disappointed but you'll definitely have an emotional roller coaster ride! :)

The journey is somewhat bittersweet

It's the story of a charismatic individual who utilizes his accidentally discovered potential to the fullest, rise to the pinnacle against all odds and then fall back to square one due to his lack of realistic senses and awareness. I actually binge watched both the seasons of The Naked Director and honestly speaking, I liked the story and acting of season 1 better than that of season 2. The lead actor, Yamada Takayuki (who played the role of Toru Muranishi), did an excellent job with his acting skill and it was simply flawless. Morita Misato who played the role of Koruki Kouri / Meguma Sahara has also beautifully demonstrated the expressions of her revolutionary role and all her body languages seemed so free and natural.

Almost all actors did a great job with their acting skills to put on a good show and it is definitely praiseworthy. I liked watching both the seasons simply out of curiosity to learn more about the revolution of porn industry and how it effects the people involved in its making and I wasn't at all disappointed. At one point, you'll kinda guess where the story is heading and and yes, it has a bittersweet ending. The journey of this drama seemed more realistic than most dramas that we see and I'd definitely recommend anybody to watch this drama.

FYI there's plenty of sexual scenes and violence in this drama, so if you think it'll be too much for you then I'll definitely suggest you not to take the chance to watch this drama. If you can watch this drama as a documentary while enjoying the acting and story then I believe you'll enjoy the show :)

The feeling of true love is indeed timeless :)

Love and affection towards a person does not necessarily depend on some quality of your lover, but the person itself - that's what was beautifully demonstrated through this drama. From the time of teenage to adulthood, both Choi Ung and Kook Yeon-su went through several transitions of personality, perspective, environment and struggles but what never changed was how they felt for each other all these times even though they were not together for 5yrs in between. What I loved about this drama is the portrayal of a very important message that seem to be overlooked by most people these days - the feeling of love is about the thought and emotion that you feel towards a person and has nothing to do with materialistic achievements or fame.

I absolutely loved the scenes when both the leads were shooting their documentaries during teenage time and their late 20s, I loved how beautifully the story, thoughts and perspectives of all characters were shown in the drama and honestly speaking, the way each characters expressed their thoughts and emotions to each other in few different episodes really brought tears to my eyes. For some weird reason, few parts of these stories felt very relatable to me. How we feel love and see love during our teenage time is not exactly the way we do when we gradually grow up and life happens.

If you looking forward to a heartwarming romantic drama with a bit of fun, this drama is definitely for you. I bet you'll enjoy the transitions of the characters' personality, thoughts and the way they expressed love to each other in this drama ^_^

It's a masterpiece worth watching!! ^_^

Instead of showing the stereotypical concept of "angel fighting the evil", I love how diligently the writer constructed a grey personality of the main lead (Vincenzo) and also of the rest of the characters to some extend. Looking at the summary I was very reluctant to watch this drama in the beginning but I must say, watching this drama has been worthy of every single moment! The storyline of this drama has been written, directed and presented so meticulously that it I can't simply emphasis in mere words. The casting, visuals, costumes, dialogues and acting were marvelous and very detail oriented and the OST????? THEY HAD THE BEST OST OF ALL TIME!!! The music were just on spot and it resonated so well with the excitement and emotions that you'll just fall in love with all the OST at the end of the day *_*

Honestly speaking, after watching plenty of k-drama, the storyline of this drama felt more inclined towards the concurrent realistic scenario of the world and somewhat a realistic "open end" conclusion as well compared to other dramas. I really enjoyed the strategic counterattacks of each groups (mainly Vincenzo's :P) and the nuanced metaphors and quotes used in their dialogues <3

The comedies would make you burst into laughter every single time, the serious and action scenes would make your adrenaline go wild and the emotional moments would well your eyes :') The story advances wildly from the beginning till the 15th episode and it slows down a little due to excessive plots and twists towards the end but all in all, I am absolutely delighted to watch Vincenzo :) The drama is a complete package and definitely "must-watch" worthy ^_^

It was an emotional roller coaster ride!!

Women are trouble, that's what they say in this series but the love stories will give you the reason why ;) Ye Hua and Bai Qian's love story will give you all the reasons to get excited, smile, shout and cry throughout the series. The character Ye Hua, played by Mark Chao, is brilliant and not to mention Mark Chao himself delivered a praiseworthy performance from the beginning till the end. Both the characters played by him, Mo Yuan and Ye Hua, were beautifully performed by Mark Chao and the way he distinguished two almost similar characters using his body language (especially the look of his eyes) is commendable. Honestly speaking, Ye Hua's introvert yet majestic and charming personality was what kept me going on throughout the series and it was worth it ;') I absolutely loved, loved, loved Ye Hua's love for Bai Qian portraited in Eternal Love and how deep, meaningful, reasonable and mature his feelings for her has been ever since Ye Hua realized his love for Bai Qian. Yang Mi also beautifully performed the multiple characters she had in the series, so as rest of the leads and supporting characters.

The negatives about this series in the CGI quality and, to some extend, the lack of variation in costume. I would have enjoyed the series more if the CGI were more mature and the costumes were not so monotonous. Other than that, there wasn't really much things to complain about regarding this series. If I rewatch this series, I'd love to see only Ye Hua and Bai Qian's romantic times after Ye Hua he discovered Bai Qian is Su Su. All in all, it was a series worth watching, I would highly recommend it ^_^
