They seemed so quick to give up what they wanted. *cough*Yujin*cough* What happened to all that rock spirit?<br /><br />Oh, I am sooooo glad I watched DH2 first, because I think it would have broken my heart to watch the awesome DH1 and then expect more of the same, only to get the disjointed cuteness of DH2. <br /><br />DH2 had some quite pleasant moments, but they pale in comparison to the original.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17140835320864680932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629595233350894949.post-57414254382893949302012-04-21T09:29:43.945-05:002012-04-21T09:29:43.945-05:00In truth i gave up on DH2 half way through and jus...In truth i gave up on DH2 half way through and just stuck with your reviews. The only main character i liked from DH2 was Rian. I liked some of the supporting but they weren't there enough for me to feel any attachment. <br /><br />Rian, like you said, is not a villain or a protagonist, she was still the only character I felt who wasn't in denial and was the only one that seemed to really make an effort for what she wanted.<br /><br />I guess having watch DH1 and DH2 so close together, I was comparing the two way to much so DH2's lack of direction, character development and even likable characters was very obvious.tieuyeunuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04481370146201938206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629595233350894949.post-86804322995327653002012-04-19T17:31:26.292-05:002012-04-19T17:31:26.292-05:00I could never even decide if Rian was supposed to ...I could never even decide if Rian was supposed to be a villian or a protagonist in DH2! Hyemi is a flat-out awful person, but I root for her anyway because she's strong, while Rian was just whiny enough for me to dislike but not hate.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17140835320864680932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629595233350894949.post-36074866848273379122012-04-19T16:32:10.580-05:002012-04-19T16:32:10.580-05:00The tension in DH1 surpasses the second season not...The tension in DH1 surpasses the second season not only between the characters as in the music showdowns. <br />It's not even my type of music but the dance routine based on the animals that appears in later episodes is very well crafted. <br />And Rian could only hope to fill Hyemi's shoes when it comes to acting above everyone else.Nocturnalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02360914276257072241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629595233350894949.post-22680567551283960032012-04-18T23:27:34.231-05:002012-04-18T23:27:34.231-05:00Thank you, Linda!

I think that once these personalities all get forced into close proximity, we're going to get some great tension.<br /><br />That's what I was missing in DH2...the tension! :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17140835320864680932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629595233350894949.post-18922686330862133642012-04-18T22:11:27.905-05:002012-04-18T22:11:27.905-05:00oh your finally reviewing this.

I am so here and will be commenting.<br /><br />I was like you too, when I first tried to get into it while it was being subbed per episode, I gave up half-way through episode 1, I wasn't a fan of any of the idols so I just couldn't sit through the slow pace.<br /><br />After 6 months, I chanced upond a clip of the bird scene in episode 9 I think and decided to give it another go. By the 4 episode, I was hooked.<br /><br />I liked both Hyemi and Baekhee from the start, Baekhee because of how quickly she could turn and Hyemi because she was an A class bitach. I prefer my characters with more backbone. <br /><br />IU's Pisook was probably and still is my least favorite of the girls but I went from disliking her character to likely her by episode 10. I think episode 8-10 are the transition episodes when they evolve from who they were to what they are now with glimpses of what they can become.<br /><br />Looking forward to your future recaps.tieuyeunuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04481370146201938206noreply@blogger.com
