LOL your review describes perfectly the way I feel about almost all Hwang Jung Eum projects. :)) I made the mistake of watching 3 of her projects in a shorter period of time and I was traumatized :)) When I saw a new drama was out and I looked at the cast I was so afraid to watch it, I immediately came here to see if this is ok or just her classical work full of exaggerated plots that became more and more exaggerated, incoherent character development, absurd decision making and what she is best known in Korea, crying scenes. In all my history of watching film and drama projects, her's are the most absurd, and every time I see her I remember this scene from a drama where the love of her life gets hit by a car, she sees this happening, starts crying blaming herself them runs away without calling the ambulance... she just lives him there!! I was so angry and frustrated that I ranted to my mother for an hour... I studied scriptwriting so when the plot is bad, the characters are bad and the directing is bad, it's like torture to me (and most of her projects are like that). Thank you for your review I will not be watching this :) I need my sanity.
I tried this, and dropped it... there’s nothing wrong with it, I’d probably say it’s well done, but I didn’t…
OMG :)) I was slapping my self every episode to push through it... Every drama the main actress chooses to accept is always filled with super exaggerated plot lines, tragedy, and a lot of crying. Her projects remind me of those Latin-telenovelas that have dramatic plot lines, and everyone loses their memory, and people just push each other down the stairs, and they would do everything for money :)) It took me some time to actually finish this drama and I felt the story was too absurd, I think it was because I saw 3 of her dramas in a short period of time and it was just too much. I think the actress is considered the best in Korea when it comes to sad scenes or crying, the cast did a good job, but the plot just made me want to slap my self :)) Every time I see her I remember this one scene from a drama she was in that was the dumbest scene in drama history I ever saw :)) I think people need extra patients for projects like this and literally not to care about any logic in order to push through the story.
I think it's because it's short only 6 episodes and their universe seems complicated and so diverse and it was…
For me, I feel like the basics should be settled at the begging. I get a bit of mystery but for a full season not not have the info of how this universe functions, gives the viewer no sense about the environment and why things happen like they happen. And as I noticed some people gave up on this series because they said it was too random. Because it's how it is, the viewer can"t even say is the writer did a good job by making the world coherent and always respecting the same set of rules, but as I know this was based on a written project, graphic novel or webtoon or something similar so I bet there is more info there. The story was different and that is why I liked, but I love when there are projects that are full of fantasy or supernatural or even SF that are so well written and coherent that it makes you think you can step into that world, no matter how un real it is, it's done so well that it seams real and plausible (and for that you need certain details that for now are missing here).
wth??? why is the rating so low?its a great drama. with good Animation scenes and a new refreshing plot. also…
I think it's because it's short only 6 episodes and their universe seems complicated and so diverse and it was not that well explained. You kind of get a sense about it, you think you understand it, but then you actually don't have any information on it... that is how you feel after watching it :)) I would have wanted more details about this world and it's origins... all they say it's about the pond... what is it: a curse, demons, monsters, magic... ? I want to get the laws of their universe :) for that, I only gave them an 8.
OMG!!! This drama has a beautiful story and is good but then they top it off with Xiang Hao Ting and Yu Xi Gu from history3: MODC, wtf I had a heart attack, made me happy and sad at the same time!! Mind-blowing!!!
You are right!!! This series is super good, I read the manga and the manga is ok, but compared to the TV series, it just comes off as flat. The series focuses on the feeling and development so well, it touches the heart, even if the manga has emotional parts and a similar feeling because it's a BL and has erotic parts as well, it always pulls you out of the romantic emotional part and it pushes you in the other intimate/erotic parts (so the viewer does not have time to ponder a lot on the serious situations). I did love some of the beautiful ways the mangaka decided to convey the idea of "passing time" and how in the last chapter she actually showed us about destiny and how the characters were basically closer to each other; than they knew and how things progressed even beyond life and death (but that was the most emotional part of the manga, basically). As for Xiang Hao Ting and Yu Xi Gu from history3: MODC omg, I had a heart attack, was happy but also sad... I loved their story so much that I wanted it to never end and have multiple seasons... but I guess I will have to be happy with "history2- crossing the line" new movie.
Yes, I know, but I am sure they will get the evidence since they are in the middle of reinvestigating the case and the reason why they jumped to conclusions, is because the people already knew of the father's condition and because Hyunsu was already labeled as having some kind of personality disorder as well...
I really wonder what show was that, just pure curiosity, I'm not trying to be rude.
Sry, yes, my comment was not meant specifically for you, it's just that you mentioned the show first and then I did remember, as you mentioned, that a lot of people said that it's overrated and compared it to other dramas, so I wanted to write in general. I did like the writing in this show more than the other drama but I still consider "It's ok not to be ok" one of the best dramas in recent years, it is unique, the perspective is interesting and it does show care a lot of difficult subjects (mental illnesses, PTSD, people with disabilities, people with addictions) that are usually not highlighted in dramas. For the same reason, I also like the 2019 "When the Camellia Blooms" even if it's a slower show the character development is one of the best, and the show focuses so well on the relationships between the people of a community, on family (good things/bad things), marriage, and many other aspects from human life in parallel with another story that makes things more mysterious and scary. I thought this show is so realistic in portraying how people have smaller problems in their lives that impact them (and are important) while there are some that live through tragedies and are marked for life, how things go on and some just end abruptly and people have to commentate and react because that is life. All 3 of these dramas have extremely good points. :)
well his wife and the other detective know the situation (our main guy is innocent/the sister was the one), the 2 killers are known now (so this proves that non of Do Min Seok's children are not like him or involved in the killings), if she comes forward and confesses the answer would be obvious because basically she was a highschool girl alone in a remote place with a strange man... if she did not have any bad intentions (as it was proven) then he was the one that did something in order to end up dead...
I really wonder what show was that, just pure curiosity, I'm not trying to be rude.
It's Okay to Not Be Okay is a good show , the story is good the acting is good, people should not compare them since they focus and highlight different things.
Every time Kim Ji Hoon is on screen, I look for my comfort blanket. It's silly but I'm really scared of him. He…
Choi Byung Mo - for some reason I find him charming, like for the things he does he seems so in control :)) (His character has dimension). Compared to him, his little pupil (that looks truly deranged/ and does not give a shit about anything) is scary you are right, Kim Ji Hoon did great.
But he never covered a crime, basically the sister it was just defending herself but he was scared the police will not treat the case fairly, since they had a psychopath father, so he took the blame and for the longest years, he was believed to be the accomplice. Basically he took it on to himself and that is how it became a murder case without reason.
A hermaphrodite is someone that has partially or fully both sexes. So basically if the character is someone that is both female and male fully and she damaged her female reproductive system I guess the doctor advised her to remain as a guy because those parts work just fine. In these cases, one biological sex can be more dominant, and after you hit puberty the dominant part can be more obvious, for example, let's say as a kid appearance while you look more boyish but as a hermaphrodite, once you hit puberty your breast start growing and you decide to change into a girl completely and you make the medical decision to go under surgery and only be a girl. There were some scandals about parents that panicked and decided the sex of the child as they were only a baby and as the child grew up it turned out the other sex was more dominant and obviously they had problems. There are some intersex people that chose to remain as both sexes.
Why do I feel like somehow it wont get released this month.It's actually too good to be true
I think you are right but I think it also has to do with our sweet Zhan Xiao, after the stupid fight started between the 2 fan communities, the haters kept hurting him... it's been more than 6 months now, the companies that supported him retracted their work, the series he signed are not coming out (for one reason or another), his tv reality shows cut him out, and the hate comments still persist... they are canceling him without him ever doing anything wrong. People are afraid to associate themselves with him, because when they tried to help him they were attacked as well. His stupid company is shitty as well, because they never supported him or helped him. I thought they will put "The Wolf" out (since it's a series filmed in 2016) after the success of "The Untamed" but it could be they are scared by the cancel culture in China.
I was kind of confused on why there was only one kiss scene because there seems to be a trend in kdrama in which…
The age gap between the actors has nothing to do with it :) The problem started because people all want to be PC today... This drama is inspired by a webtoon that would be rated +18 and the story is between an adult and a student (that starts as a high schooler/underage), this is what started the controversy... their real-life age did not matter since they are all adults and this is not the first time happening, IU played in Scarlet Moon huge age difference between her and her costar (she also dated in real life with someone way way older), Kim So Hyun has roles like this as well and while she was acting she was underage (no one fliped out) and as for Kim Yoo Jung this is not the first role she has when her costar is way older than she is. People love to hate and take their frustration and envy out on others. In the past I remember watching tons of Korean movies depicting relationships between students and teachers, younger - older couples, including relationships between underage and older people :)) And no one thought it was strange... or that it was a bad influence because in the past people had commonsense (and they did not feel the need to imitate a fictional story), not like nowadays - people are dumb :)) Nowadays they need instructions on which way to twist the cap on the water bottle. I am just annoyed how people censure themself not to accidentally offend the stupid and the haters. Everyone's words just lose all the power and the interpretation (of crazy people) is taken more seriously, and factually.
It's not :)) Some people are just to sensitive to every thing and don't have common sense...
Yes, I understood you were serious, but so was I :) I was just saying that the "problem" is non existent and we should not empower people thatcan't relax and need to find an extra reason tohate on something :)) They always push their beliefs on everything :)
