After watching too many Chinese dramas, this drama seemed to lack so many things; plot-wise, the character's execution…
Really?? As an avid cdrama watcher very few have good cgi and even fewer have a good plot especially with how the FL can't be powerful no matter what and she has to go with the annoying baby voice. No comparison whatsoever. I love them but I also know how flawed they are
Zzzz i don't care about it bring seguk.. Age gaps were not common in old Korea by the way and look at the other seguk drama to understand that this is not the case. Let's not invent excuses for uncomfortable pairing with massive age gaps
Honestly? What a complete nonesene this movie was!pure trash. You have this weird couple him being a complete loser in everyway possible unemployed, unattractive, cheater..while she is a complete psycho.. She runs away from her wedding they get married (at the very start of the movie) and then they seek divorce, while driving from the court they have an accident and end up losing their memories and then we have cheap humor and awkward sex scenes then they remember and she goes to the airport he prepared what he has to say to her on his hand to stop her from flying but he ends up not doing it and she goes and comes back. And I am here left not knowing what the heck did I watch.
We are talking about this specific drama. As for gyj.. Can I say I don't really care about her in negative or positive. We are talking about the character that was portrayed here
Traumatic. Every episode was a drag with terrible CGI. Dropped it.
Whaaaaaaat!! This had one of the better CGi and every episode was phenomenal. But to each it's own i guess. Even great dramas can't be loved by everyone 😂
I just read this review and it couldn't have said it better. It expressed my exact feelings and disappointment with this sequel Season 1 was definitely SO MUCH better than season 2 in my opinion, I mean I even rated it a 9/10 and I usually don't give dramas such high ratings. I couldn't get over the fact that the Naksu/Buyeon amnesia arc overshadowed the main plot and the essence of the show. Call me biased idc... I don't think Go Yoon's Jung acting was that strong in comparison to her counterparts. She makes the same blank / innocent facial expressions and cries a lot — this got old, tired and extremely annoying for me. Also the back and forth with her and Uk and him not realizing who she was sooner really agitated me. The pining / longing in season 1 was wayyyy better than what they tried to achieve bringing the newer actress in. I guess I didn't see the chemistry that everyone kept raving about. There were no sparks. I felt sorry for her character when they made it seem like all she would ever be was a replacement for Mudeok and someone to warm his bed at nights to free him from the wraiths. I thought him keeping her around was cruel and that he should set her free but the irony was she ran away from home in order to be free but her being with Uk was like another prison where she had to not only face/fight her demons but also his too. That was a burden she should not have been carrying.
This season felt way too insta lovey (especially when Uk and Buyeon/Naksu kissed in the 2nd episode) for me to enjoy it. I felt like their "chemistry" was being pushed down my throat and that Bu Yeon was coming on way too strong. In my opinion Jung So Min had the best on screen chemistry with all of the guys while Go Yoon Jung only ever really tried to have chemistry with Lee Jae Wook. I feel like Go Yoon Jung was all looks and no substance. I personally didn't feel any emotion, passion or see true authenticity. She didn't really give what Jung So Min gave when she was Naksu in season 1. If anything all she served was face / strong visuals (even though she looks like a child imo) and like a very soft version of Bu Yeon. That aside, I think the progression of their relationship was not built up as well as it was in season 1 and again I reiterate that their marriage of convenience romance subplot became the main plot and the whole alchemy of souls and Jang Uk's story of being born under the king's star and now possessing the ice stone was immensely overlooked. What kept me watching this drama was the fact that it was so overhyped and I didn't want to be left out of the loop. Honestly I wasn't planning on finishing it but i did. I feel like the last 2-3 episodes were quite rushed and it felt choppy and like the 3rd act conflict was very much underdeveloped.
I wish Jung So Min at least made an appearance in the final episode because when both Seo Yul and the crown prince (Go Won) finally admitted and acknowledged their feelings for Mudeok when she was “Buyeon”, it just didn't hit the same for me. I spent a lot of season 2 wishing and hoping Jung So Min would come back (at least in the last episode) because in my heart I was so attached to her character and each episode with the flashbacks only made it worse. I tried to remain impartial and unbiased while watching but found myself picking apart everything and comparing/overanalyzing – I guess that happens when shows switch / replace actors.
And to weirdo because this has subtle grooming shit
Cuties was the definition of trauma/horror and what made me end my subscription on Netflix. I don't watch american dramas or movies anymore for many reasons so I don't know if they are still releasing pedophilic sh*t like this. Hollywood itself is a very very dark place.. Full of grooming and abuse.
idk, i'm not in the age range you're probably thinking of, and I don't generally like Rosy in other things. She…
Your comment made my blood boil!! I havent met someone as ignorant, dum dum and straight up m*ssed up like you in a while!!! I don't even know where to start, the essay excusing grooming and pedophilic acts or the sheer ignorance in your comment. Let's start with my tastes in dramas it's more baffling that you don't understand why I wouldn't like goblin aka a story about a 36 yr old goblin romancing and grooming a highschooler and basically being a sugar daddy for her taking her in his house ecc if I could I would give it a - 20000000. As for elod I skipped this couple in eternal love, a young weak, useless girl goes for that ancient or most ancient being that is super powerful what's fun in that I don't like it! Should something like this be universally liked or something I like strong FLs with non ancient being that's all..as for ttoem I thought it was boring and the ml looked haggard and much older than his age and quite sickly looking .. So I couldnt continue with it. There are simply better dramas out there that's aren't problematic lmao condemning grooming shouldn't be anything weird as "lens of moral repugnance" lmao. Just the fact that you are saying she is old enough is already a huge red flag we get a literal 13 yr at the beginning of the drama with him being an adult already then her at 17 with that annoying baby voice that doesn't go away even when she is 21. It feels wrong on so many levels and don't give me that culture crap.. I can distinguish being cute and being childlike... Zhao lusi specializes in the later she is the eternal very creepily young girl with much older men.. All her dramas are like that!
Second i wasn't talking about any culture but the decision made for this drama that are absolutely disgusting... And I have no clue why you had to bring Muslim countries marrying at 10 bs. why did you have to bring people that aren't mentioned here in the first place! Sadly for you, I am Egyptian.. So from one of these countries lmao and I am 25 still unmarried.. living a complety normal life as a working woman.. Most of my friends are like me since marriage is financially taxing.. Couples save for years for their marriage home.. Most of my cousins married in their 20s, few in their 30s..i don't know a single person that was married at 10! So don't you dare spew this hateful bs as something common and accepted here. I am curious where you are from anyway? And don't write another essay on how there is an excuse to subtle pedophilia
