and pit of amusement

That is right. We have a duty to speak up about the quality of the shows we get otherwise whatever we get is acceptable.

@Sapphicace made great points (further down - and said it more eloquently) about:
- how they are mad at the fans for hyping up subpar shows just to support their faves
-no one has an ounce of self-respect, that creators, fans, and actors are all complicit (and that we end up with these type of shows)

im so sorry ( but its made this place so interesting - trying to look on the bright side)

I agree with you that on a lot of metrics this show is extremely successful. And I dont want Domundi to fail because I dont want everything GMM.

You cant deny that a lot of users are disappointed with this drama. And its not all due to bias. Some were keen on this show from the beginning but changed minds as they continued to watch it. (I admit that I was never keen but hoping to be persuaded otherwise). You also cant deny that a lot of fans of NNZ love this show because of bias.

I hope Domundi make a lot of money and invest it in scriptwriters instead of expensive setups.

I agree that the other relationships didnt add value to main story especially with 6 episodes.
I should have done that as well.

lol - I would guess that its fans and fanclubs and social media.

I have only just heard of this and was also interested but I think I will read the books because the film does not explain the universe.
user / @Markus explained (see discussion above) "since a lot of details are glossed over (the world, power system, character relationship)"

Thanks for insight. I have only become aware of manhwa / film today because of an article on MDL main page. The trailer on IMDB made me interested but your comments made me disappointed in this film.

Its annoying when filmmakers are not true /authentic to the original material BUT and its even worse is when they decide to recreate the story (or not to stick to the source) but then expect the viewer to have read the books to understand what is going on. They are not pleasing anyone.

They should at least make that clear that its going to be a derivation of the material and then make it coherent to those who have not read the books and are clueless about this universe.

I will probably read the books (and avoid the film)

Thanks. Its not good or bad news for me. Im not invested in the film or actor but more interested in how the ratings are so skewed because of the manhwa fans anger (which is understandable) but also that means i cant get an objective opinion.

The movie seems interesting judging by the trailer. It would be nice to get an objective review or opinion.

Its also a joke when 99% of the reviews on MDL are 1 but it still does not tell me anything. Except angry bitter and disappointed fans of the underlying novel. In IMDB 90% of the reviews give this a 1 and 8% a 10. Same story there.

Obviously, I would also not consider the opinions of MDL accounts only created to rate a 1 for this movie to be objective. I would rely more on critic reviews for this one.

Ratings have been created by bots because fans of novel/manhwa are

not really bad when 90% gave it a 1. It only means disgruntled fans.

The imdb rating is not good or bad but a joke. Its obvious is that 90% gave it a 1 and 8% gave it a 10. If we exclude those ratings it would prob be around 6.5

The reviews are so annoying. I would also like an unbased opinion based on film rather then how true it is to novel /manhwa.
I get that it may not be faithful adaptation but the trailer has made me interested.

i think because the hype was so much, so the disappointment is greatest.
Its not badly produced (not that im an expert) - but they promised too much and underdelivered. With that budget they could have hired more script writers and done testing to see public reaction

" but the plot is actually the oldest fuyoshi BL cliché " . . . . . as opposed to The Next Prince which is about NuNew playing pretty princess in fancy costumes, obsessed with prince and romance, while bumping into the so many available fumbled plots in this series.

The main narrative flaw in TNP is that it just bores.

It is worth watching.

Its not your typical bl - more raw and better dynamics between male leads (it did not feel like typical bl written by woman for woman) and it felt more genuine
Characters could have been belter developed if there were more episodes.
Acting + NC scenes were good.

its committed the ultimate sin of boring the public who are not NNZ fanatics. The NNZ crowd will eat up anything they offer.

Other dramas can be worse but they dont spend a fortune (and oversell themselves) and then be this bland.

In the first episode, it actually felt, and I thought that it would be a toxic show but Im not seeing it anymore, so I was wondering what I was missing.
lol unlike the rabid fans of another drama show, I actually enjoy negative or differing opinions

There are 5 books. This series is made from two of the books.
I found a translation for the second book in wattpad. Search for "Viper's Wifey"
(It features MonPak).

If you come across the other books let me know.

lol I can relate to all that. They know what gets me to commit to a show.
