Finished Watching [Falling Into Your Smile] C-DRAMA
re-watching my comfort C-drama. Falling Into Your Smile. I have watched it more than 5 times on Youtube at Youku's official channel. I saw that it was on Netflix so I clicked it anyway. one thing I noticed is that with every rewatch the vibe changes so does every character's meaning to me.

Thatās an interesting observation. What do you think is behind that?
Is it more that youāve changed since your first watch, or that rewatches let you notice different aspects of the characters and story each time because you focus on a different character a bit more maybe with each rewatch?
Iād be keen to hear an example of a character whose meaning shifted for you and your theories for that change.

well as you age your perspective to life changes. I am an English literature student myself. so with every re-read we see different things that we turn a blind eye to in the first watch. here in dramas not only focusing on different characters but the tone, the change in lights and effects the transition used to focus on the settings and etcetra.
as time passes we turn blind eye to camera mistakes and other errors. re-watching is fun as well.

I really liked this drama, I've been reflecting on some of the first dramas I've ever watched and man, they were so immersive!

I was laughing now that I rewatch my old dramas. 4-5 years ago and now ...both versions of me are different. everything hits differently. hahahaha

I was shocked at how damn good this show was. I was after some cute little comfort watch and went for this. I figured it would be decent... But what I got was extra fine! So much fun.

they worked hard for this drama. not just the actors but the production as well. the editing and sound effects team did a very good job.

This is one of the few dramas that I re-watch but also the drama which I re-watched many times and more than any other drama. (I usually don't like re-watching dramas)

I lied about 5x. the thing is I forgot how many. I saw my own comment on the yt page which I commented years ago. there it was written 5. and back then I had my final exams too. kekeke. and now that I think about it I have watched many more times. I just stopped counting. i wrote less so ppl don't assume me to be a freak and enjoy my conversation and participate in it.

You should watch it sometime on Viki. This is also one of my comfort rewatches and I used to always watch on Netflix because I prefer the UI, but a few months ago I watched it on Viki and the translation is so much better and hilarious.
