Do catch up to us... we're swooning over the latest episode together 🫠
Girl nooo 😭 don’t drag her into this 2 eps per week suffering chamber with us PLEASEEE 💀 but then again… one Cha Se Gye wrist kiss and suddenly everyone forgets their complaints for the next 3 business days 🤡 Hahahah
Fr the self control needed to not cave n binge everything before next week’s eps should qualify as a survival skill 💀
Wait I just realized you’re a guy 😭 Ngl it’s kinda refreshing seeing men on MDL actually invested in C/K-dramas and writing reviews instead of acting allergic to emotions and character development 💀
Yes yes it is....i meant in funny way... Hope you are enjoying show, fellow watcher hv a good day 😄 edited in bracket now might sound more warm than teasing ig
LMAOOO excuse my behavior 😭 Cha Se Gye got me on MDL typing like I survived a war n the war was one wrist kiss. This app truly has only two types of comments:
“the cinematography reflects postmodern loneliness” or “HE LOOKED AT HER WRIST AND I ASCENDED”
N unfortunately he turned me into the final boss of the second category 😔 lol
I genuinely did NOT expect My Royal Nemesis to eat this hard 😵💫
That WRIST KISS N HEAD HOLD was so SEXYYYYYY 🫠 the tension, the constant bickering, the.....THE CHEMISTRY??? INSANE.. Not just romantic chemistry - every interaction feels ⚡ And the comedic timing??? chef’s kiss. Even the OST hits every single time...
AND CHA SE GYE. ..EXCUSE ME????? YOU SEXY SHIBALLLL 🥵 STOP GIVING ME BUTTERFLIES. The way he looks at her??? The micro expressions??? HELLO??? Dominant but also lowkey submissive like a cute mutt following her around helplessly 🐶
AND LIM JI YEON is actually INSANE here 😍 The way she switches from full Joseon queen energy to absolute crackhead comedy within seconds needs to be studied 🤌 Half the time I’m not even reading subtitles bc I’m too busy staring at her expressions.
Honestly this drama lowkey pulled me out of my kdrama slump. It’s just FUN. Like actual entertaining weekly television that makes you excited for the next episode instead of feeling like homework.
Right now this drama feels like the love child of Mr. Queen chaos + chaebol romcom insanity + a woman who absolutely refuses to behave normally in any timeline ✋
I have lots of issue w this movie...so many strings left, the story felt weak, predictable, scattered from start BUT it was def entertaining movie....loved the color grading, cinematography, solid acting y cast AND oh god the fight scenes were chefs kiss... the root top, the staircase n even the chase it was well executed ...more like action flick. Lastly, I didnt expect to see uri Jung Hae In as villain (in general) but damn i'm impressed w the pyscho over stimulated killer vibe...looking forward to see him in more versatile projects
Of course talent and acting skills matter, but the industry never works on talent alone. A huge role is what company…
Hey @linjitah ...u hv a pretty name 😀 thanks for taking out your precious time n giving thorough perspective---- you made some fair points, especially about how supporting roles can sometimes build a stronger n long lasting career than instantly jumping into lead roles, then eventually ending up typecasted....i admire the versatility ...That said I still feel there’s a difference between being respected within the industry n being given the same level of visibility or momentum as some other actors.... LJY has been getting diff projects yet the public conversation arnd him still feels disproportionately small compared to actors who gained massive hype much faster with far less range...iykyk
And honestly ik the industries has never operated on talent alone but idk was expecting korean industry to be maybe lil different..but keeping it aside—I think lately it just feels more obvious because social media can push certain actors into “it boy” status overnight while others either quietly build good filmographies without getting the same recognition or many don't even get that opportunity...
My bad it came out it wrong way i didnt mean a weak trajectory — I just personally feel he still hasn’t had that one defining role (that even u said) that completely shifts global public perception of him into top tier mainstream recognition if u get what I'm saying... Decent projects and exposure, yes. But a true breakout cultural moment? I still think that’s missing "for me"
Kang Ha Neul is everywhere, I haven't watch much of him on dramas since they're not for me. But I watched him…
Ooo I’ll definitely check out Midnight Runner if you had that much fun watching it haha ....no worries about LS It was really nice discussing with you though 🫶
Kang Ha Neul is everywhere, I haven't watch much of him on dramas since they're not for me. But I watched him…
Haha you’re kind for saying that! 😄 Aah okay makes a lot more sense to me n yeah that whole KJH situation really did affect public perception arnd him for quite a while....Thankfully yes its getting better
N honestly I fully get what you mean about KHN being more suited for movies..he has this very quirky lived in acting style that shines especially well in films... A lot of his movie characters feel memorable + they were cool too..You can try Forgotten (thriller-10/10 recm) n First ride- fun light no brainer watch -since u dont prefer k romance much (as u said) otherwise love reset is fun watch too... I had good laugh
As for Love Scout- same here ..so watched it...ig LJH’s calm vibe suited that role well
Kang Haneul is literally everywhere, what do you talking about? And for Lee Junyoung, idk, he just doesn't have…
Hey fellow watcher, @sradabeelumi thanks for sharing your perspective 😄 What I meant about KHN was that despite being in the industry for quite a long time, his MDL list actually doesn’t have that many ML dramas n there are noticeable gaps between projects (Like 2014 he got 2 main roles, then 2016 - 1, 2019 - 1, 2022 - 2, 2024 - Squid Game and then its sequel then 2025-Tastefully Yours.. So I guess as someone who enjoys his work n personality, I just hoped to see him in more shows over the years. But yeah compared to some of the other names I mentioned, he definitely has had more films and projects overall. As for LJY- I do agree with you girlie.. that he shines a lot in villain/supporting roles. About the ML charisma part… Umm I’m honestly still undecided on that I’d rather stay open minded n see how his future projects turn out...
and as for your take ... that’s the fun part about dramas I guess ... everyone connects with actors differently haha ! Have a nice day :')
Kang Ha Neul is everywhere, I haven't watch much of him on dramas since they're not for me. But I watched him…
hey @autumniris ! Hope u r doing fine first of all love how detailed your mdl profile is 😊👍 coming to the reply- 1. for kang hanuel i meant if u see his mdl list he doesnt hv many ml dramas and their are lots of gap in his projects- 2014 he got 2 main roles then, 2016- 1 role then 2019- 1 then 2022 - 2, 2024 -1 squid n then its sequel 2025-1 tastefully yours....so i meant i wanted to see more of him he is not rookie actor anymore yet very few projects as ML ....i enjoy his work quite fun personality 2. My bad its not lee jun hyuk i meant kim jung hyun (the one from Mr. Queen) for him the ml projects are even less than KHN, glad that finally from 2025 he is getting 1 project each n has some more coming up in 2026....i enjoyed his acting in mr. crown, siren's kiss as crazy obssessed guy, hundred memories was fine too lastly, 3. i agree with wat you said for lee jun hyuk ...very recently i did enjoy his shows-love scout and dear hyeri (i do hv some issues w them but ill not go into detail for now) ...it wasnt wooooowww but yeah it was decent watch and kim jae won hahahah yes he got that fem charm lets see how he turns out in coming years.....AS FOR Lee Jun Young looking cold and detached its completely fine i saw him in some variety shows n he is introvert which might look like he is being kinda cold ....TBH when i started watching kdrams he wasnt my first pick either...he doesnt hv strong script first pick kinda shows either.... but lately i watched some of his shows n movies- brave citizen, melo movie, when life gives tang, weak hero, imposs heir, pump up- i felt he has potential but not a break through ml script
luckily junyoung had a breakthrough with his supporting roles, but yeah, he hasn’t had his breakthrough as a…
I'm excited for this project and heard what u said but tbh deep down i feel its not gonna get massive success like crown prince or boyfriend on demand....no matter how poorly executed or bad acting was in them ..shows like them n many more thrive through huge blind fan following or massive pr.... (to clarify- no hate for any actor but the shows were terrible ..great for those who genuinely enjoyed but they were just not it...i was stunned with the crazy viewership ratings). Anyway its gonna be tough battle for him ....sometimes i just pity bc other actors deserve some love too :'( and i hope i dont offend any fan of CP or BoD but sometimes its okay to criticise your favs....constructive criticism exist for a reason - no harm in that ig - bc we want to see our favs grow n become better n better !
This guy still hasn’t had his breakthrough script like other K-actors.... Even rookies like Lee Chae-min and Kim Jae-won have started gaining attention (which they absolutely deserve) but I feel like Lee Jun-young still isn’t getting the global recognition he deserves.....He’s one of the most hardworking actors out there....Lately it feels like the K-industry only chases shiny name tags and trendy actors. Talented and underrated actors like Kim Jung-hyun, Heo Nam-jun, Steve Noh, Kang Ha-neul and Lee Jun-young are barely getting shows despite their skills....Why is that? Who’s actually getting the scripts.. I’m just thinking--- sometimes it really feels like talent alone isn’t enough to break through in this industry. edit:- 1. KHN -he comp have more projects still not many ML ..also hv some amazing movie but with quite a gap between them 2. by break through script (for LJY) - I mean that cultural fandom project which gets him global recognition.....altho as support lead he did bag some decent projects
I personally don't see the stabbing as a plot device for Ina to realize her feelings. I actually saw it as an…
yeah ig it had 2 purposes one -that person above mentioned it acted as trigger point for ina n other being easy exit out of jae yeol's plan as u mentioned
Wait I just realized you’re a guy 😭
Ngl it’s kinda refreshing seeing men on MDL actually invested in C/K-dramas and writing reviews instead of acting allergic to emotions and character development 💀
Now we gotta survive a whole weeeeeek acting functional meanwhile my brain is already stuck on ep 5 & 6💀
the fandom collectively entered their final boss era of giggling, kicking feet n permanent delulu residency 🤓😝 (n honestly I love this for all of us)
“the cinematography reflects postmodern loneliness”
or
“HE LOOKED AT HER WRIST AND I ASCENDED”
N unfortunately he turned me into the final boss of the second category 😔 lol
That WRIST KISS N HEAD HOLD was so SEXYYYYYY 🫠 the tension, the constant bickering, the.....THE CHEMISTRY??? INSANE.. Not just romantic chemistry - every interaction feels ⚡ And the comedic timing??? chef’s kiss. Even the OST hits every single time...
AND CHA SE GYE. ..EXCUSE ME????? YOU SEXY SHIBALLLL 🥵 STOP GIVING ME BUTTERFLIES. The way he looks at her??? The micro expressions??? HELLO??? Dominant but also lowkey submissive like a cute mutt following her around helplessly 🐶
