I have never rated a movie so low. Thoroughly disappointing, which no proper back story, no build up for the villan or anything.

hmm...Noted. Adding it to watch later then. Sound interesting

Aye aye sir, would like some definitely

People are getting to reactive nowadays for some reason. I already mentioned that Chessy romcoms are my guilty pleasure. It's just that I want a little novelty in the genre.

oh btw , I do watch documentaries a lot as well. But still thanks for the kind words

aah, so JKY is holding you to the series? 🤭😆... Makes sense... Happened with be as well when I was watching Backstreet Rookie.. was only and to finish it cos of the FL 😆🤭

It's not like I didn't see it. I am on the 7th episode.. it's just that He saved her again when she fell down the mountain and some how it triggered me ! Same things keeps happen.. The damsel in distress needing constant saving from the rich chaebol. Maybe it because of mindset that I am currently in that it hit me like this.

cos I do understand the comforting point that you are making and indeed that is why K rom come are my guilty pleasures, but some how this one didn't match with my mental wavelength for some reason (even tho it's execution is better than many other famous rom coms with similer trope)

same. I didn't like some of the most famous Kdramas (Descendants of the sun, vincenzo, welcome to Waikiki etc) I didn't hate them, but I just didn't found them worth the hype

I am not currently in the mood for thrillers (life is anxious enough) but I think I will try Alchemy of souls since you say it's a slow burner. I just finished Summer strike and I absolutely loved it !!! (It was what I expected My beloved summer to be), so if it's like that, then I think I will like it

I loved the glory and flower of evil is added in my watch later. Korean thrillers are great.
But it's not like I don't like rom-com... It is my guilty pleasure and I enjoy them. and from time to time I enjoy the cliche as well, but this time It didn't hit off for me

🥹🫠

yes exactly !! That is my reason for kDrama being my guilty pleasure (something which Inused to despise in my younger days). But maybe recently I have had a little change of heart and am currently prefering slice of life kind of drama (the last one was summer strike and I loved it !!)
maybe it's a seasonal change...who knows

Well it's okay if you find it entertaining. You are more then welcome to enjoy it, I just presented my opinion. I just find it too cliched and think as a industry it kind of makes it stagnant as a whole.
But at the same time I do agree that the execution of this series has been better then many with similer trope

Hmm.. I have my guilty pleasure from time to time, but maybe not this perticular trope

I will start with a few -
Business Proposal
What's wrong with secretary Kim
her secret life
king the land

Perhaps this will be my first comment where I am going to be Brutal about a series. Not because there is anything wrong with the series, but because I am fed up with Korean makers just going for the same cliched story and people loving the same !!! The series is nothing but the thousandth time the same story is being shown just the names are changed. I will tell you the basic plot and anyone who is reading, just drop the name of kDrama which has the same plot. ' A feeble shy but hard working lower middle class girl has a 'incident' with a chaebol which is embarassing for both in some way and destiny will somehow make them either live or work together in close proximity where the rich guy who always was mean and super talented actually shows his soft side and keeps saving the girl (who is always damsel in distress) until they both realise they have started developing feeling for each other (which they will first deny for 2 episodes and then try to hide in the other 2) and ultimately ending up together in the end !! ' Now just make a few minor change and see how many series basically have the same story.

For me it was what 'Hometown cha cha cha ' was supposed to be. Loved it

For me it was the second lead (esp Sara) which kept me tied to the show.

Well there are lots of beautiful actress in korean, but she is enchanting tbh. Explains why I am the way I am 🤣
let's see how the series ends, the same as the webtoon or with a slight twist 🪢!

hahaha... I hate to admit it but I don't want her to be taken down (atleast not yet). For some reason I am too fond of her🙈 (which is very unlike my usual logical personality)

But it's weird that even tho after knowing that she is pure evil, we are still rooting for her ... which is not easy to pull (for both the actor and story)
