While I agree that this year’s Kdramas haven’t really been up to the mark, not you calling Kdramas repetitive while praising Cdramas when Cdramas probably have the most repetitive plots known to mankind. Even those short web Cdramas you mentioned keep recycling the same CEO husband and cinderella storyline. As for the proper ones, earlier all modern Cdramas revolved around the contract marriage trope and now every costume drama follows the same formula grey main leads, stylish walks😭, mutual suspicion at first, then teaming up and falling in love. It’s literally the same story with different outfits

Ngl I was about to call the ML’s character flat but then they pulled out that twist at the end of episode four. It made their whole dynamic so much better and more interesting

They look like sibling on the poster😭

Whenever there’s a big cast now, it always reminds me of Twelve

The 2nd FL👀
Are we going to witness another acting masterclass

I was just about to watch it but that stupid chronic illness tag?? Don’t tell me it’s another LND in the making 😭 Can we please have one fun romcom without unnecessary sad subplots? It’s all because of those romcom police who think lighthearted ones are too silly,they keep adding these stupid subplots to make it "deep or meaningful"

My friend is an avid watcher of Jdramas and keeps recommending them to me but I honestly find most of them weird 😭 Even if I try to avoid the strange themes, the first thing that always gives me the ick is the constant cheating and it’s usually by the main leads! They immediately become grey characters for me, so I can’t root for them at all.

And yes,I really hope Kdramas stay true to their culture and core themes. But honestly, it’s the international audience that keeps criticizing everything. Like, we all became fans because of those classic tropes, so why complain about them now? For example, people keep hating on the childhood connection trope and rant about it in every single episode that features it. Sure, it can get repetitive but the constant complaining has become way more annoying than the trope itself.
I also agree kdramas can do way better than they did this year

Out of the three Cdramas you mentioned, only two were actually good and one of them came out quite a while ago. I don’t think we’ve really “slept" on Cdramas, they only started improving around 2021 when they began trying to imitate Kdramas. Even though Cdramas have definitely gotten a lot better, they’re still very repetitive. I don’t even want to get into Thai or Jdramas. I just find them weird.

I also agree that Kdramas have drifted away from their own culture but isn’t that mostly because of the international audience? They make up a huge portion of the viewership and constantly criticize everything from the celebrity culture to general societal norms.

I could agree with part of your comment but saying that in this drama’s comment section makes it sound untrue. This was honestly the only good rom com this year. Also, which cdrama has even been that great this year for you to say that? Most of them just recycle whatever plot is trending at the moment.
For example, in historical dramas, the current trend is gray main leads. The same setup every time: the FL seeking revenge or solving a mystery, the ML doubting her at first but eventually teaming up and falling in love. Same shit happens all the time

you pulling this outta ur a$$

But the Islamophobia in the comment section is unbelievable. Some people are only defending it just to spread hate. It’s sad that this drama will never get its true rating, since bots are either downvoting it to 1 or giving it 10 without genuinely liking it

Suzy is absolutely gorgeous and her acting in this is really good too. Some people just can’t stand attractive actors. I’m pretty sure it’s jealousy, because if a less good looking actor had played the same role, they’d be screaming “mother” nonstop

Even though I liked it and it pulled me out of my Kdrama slump, I think adding the ex girlfriend subplot ruined the main story a lil bit

You’re living in an alternate reality or maybe you only watch the dramas where Islam gets mocked. Have you seen Hindus? They protest to ban movies even if a human king from their religion is mocked. They’ve even threatened to cut actors noses and yet you’re saying this here

As someone who’s giving it 7/10, you’re defending it way too much. I thought you actually liked it or is this just your way of showing your Islamophobia and Christianophobia?

I hope they’re not aiming for a love story between the grandma and the FL’s friend. She’s seen her grow up. Eww it’s so weird. Imagine if it were the grandpa instead

I’m having a hard time understanding the FL’s character. Sometimes she seems like a psychopath, sometimes she acts like she has autism and other times she seems completely normal

You’re saying who care while clearly they do😭

Why are they playing south asian music for SML? Am I missing some joke

Are u new here?Cause it hapoens everytime
