Oh Dear. So many drama that make me want to slap some people and shout “Let me rewrite the story”. You name…
Only things I would remove from Stairway to Heaven is the 4 or 5 filler episodes when they spend time to chase train, bus, car, planes or anything. But otherwise, it was damn intense. First 3 episodes are so good. As well as 5 last episodes. An iconic drama. Pinocchio ? Nah, perfect! Others, I didn't watched the whole drama, I can't say.
The Heirs : This was a good Kim Eun Sook's drama. Nice conflicts, strong male leads, and fabulous actress Park Shin Hye. I don't know why people dislike it so much. Maybe it wasn't as good as Secret Garden? But still more funny than Goblin (if we put out the fantastic directing of Goblin director, so just about the plot and fun.)
Drama does not have a familiar style, it may not appeal to everyone. So you need time to get used to and identify…
You are trying hard to make other people to want to watch this, like 2k comments on this thread. It's a bad screenplay. I don't just say it, I demonstrate and explain why. What is the problem ??? This helps people who don't like this stuff either, and have trouble figuring out why. If you like it, then like it. I'm cool and tolerant with people who like it, I can be friend with fans of the drama. I even watch the drama because there is still some stuff I like into it, and also here, I can explain why and how. But don't bother me with your useless frustration jumps.
- Autumn's Concerto : I watched original kdrama but put on hold midway. It was still nice. - "Secret", I will watch it I don't know when, but I have sources, so it's ok. - Thailand drama : I don't know how to get these content. Look nice but can't watch it. Hate isn't indifference, there is interest in hate. And in love story, it could become hate when things go wrong. In a story, it's something the writer can exploit, and make intense drama. Sure, with stories like this, we are on the edge of our seat.
This drama is really a hit or miss kind of drama. You'll either get bored or ended loving it. The tone of this…
Hi. Yes, I'm going to see the second season. I'm curious to see if the guy will stay with the maggot girl. :-) I'm part of a group full of fans of the drama and we also do rewatches of season 1. I don't think the way the drama is done works, even for subtlety. It can on some somes scenes, but not overall. There is too much heaviness on the dialogues. However, this is a drama that is much more accessible to a Korean audience, as reading the subtitles is very penalizing. It makes it hard to see the details of what the characters are doing in a scene (when they are doing something, because there are also a lot of robotic or uninteresting lines). I've deconstructed several scenes while watching. The episodes bore me, so I can pause, take notes. Like the scene where they go to get coffee, the dialogue goes all over the place, you don't know what they are talking about. At the end, I missed the expression of the girl swallowing her saliva (a very short shot), which was supposed to make sense to conclude the scene. The whole thing was so badly done that there was a maximum chance of missing it by the way. It's like that most of the time in this drama! The writer writes a novel more than a screenplay. She didn't think about how to involve the audience at the beginning of the drama: for several episodes, everything is nebulous. It's like she's doing something deliberately hermetic to discourage new viewers, and stay on her fan pool.
The character start as the classic big bad villain, but his background scene add a lot of thickness to him. As well as his work as a painter. The actor was very good for portraying him. One thing important about him : the way he create dilemna as pitfall. For him, it's always the choice of others that is bad, it's always others that are selfish. Thanks to wrote a nice article on Sisyphus.
And again... "You act like an American." Sigh... Dropping it. It's one of the most culturally offensive K-Dramas…
I didn't watched yet, but now, I hesitate. I don't want to see a kdrama where actors act like americans. I don't say americans are bad actors, there is good ones, but in this case, I prefer to watch an american show. And it's look like boring to watch characters to go in american bar so often. Why they don't go in a korean restaurant instead, or some place more sophisticated ? Kdrama try to westernize too much.
This drama has the story, magic, and intensity of Goblin; the humor and banter of Vincenzo. I'm so hooked!!! And…
Oh sssshh. I shouldnt even watch first episode. Nothing is more boring than Goblin, and nothing is less funny than Vincenzo with its slapstick forced comedy. Look like this drama is the perfect one I could dislike... Positive comments go in this way, and negative ones too.
Judging from your profile, you just don't seem to be the kind of person who likes slice of life dramas, and what…
Hi, indeed, this is not my favorite genre. However, I like it on well-written dramas like Start-Up. My criticism of Hospital Playlist is not about the style but about the writing, which makes the drama lame.
You are working very hard trying to convince everyone that this drama is bad. You don't like it. Find it boring.…
Hi, this drama has so many positive comments, that it's valid to bring a counterbalance to it. I try to do it on concrete analysis points. I find it boring? Yes, but why? I focused a little too much on the negative in my comments. Still, there are some things I enjoyed about the drama. Sorry!
I can hardly believe that a drama can be so bad, and yet. Deadly boring. The script is a total mess. Even the direction, always the same shots, for no reason. Incessant verbiage, filled with identical scenes around a table. Dull and often incomprehensible dialogues, referring to other people. Inability to show the events, substituted by characters telling them. Well, there are a few scenes that survive, at best. The last scene of the season was so pitiful. Unthinkable.
Pinocchio ? Nah, perfect!
Others, I didn't watched the whole drama, I can't say.

Even more iconic...

Is it as boring as Goblin?
More the way the drama is made. ;-)
