This was done very messily. The whole world-ending scenario wasn’t convincing enough to begin with, and then they failed to execute the only thing they marketed. Everything was thrown in as if something might work: sci-fi, a mother-and-son relationship, her dead husband, and a random sus stranger. The lack of perspectives was also, in a way, a reason for the flop. I wasn’t impressed by the acting either. It felt like they were reciting a bad storyline.
This was so emotionally rich, damn. Every interaction between the leads felt so intense yet vulnerable that I could feel eyes on me lol. Lovely to see a BL made with this much passion.
the credit should definitely go to the writer, but executing this is also no easy feat. the way even the smallest day-to-day things are shown and have meaning is so beautiful and refreshing to see. we don't come across such stories really often, so it's a special one for me after so many disappointing dramas this year.
watched like 10 minutes of this, and it gave me an existential crisis, triggered my inferiority complex, and made…
so true lol. But in your defense, these kids are the cream of the crop and have done tons of things that stimulate their brains to the point that they find such things normal.
Not moving on and going back like a simo is two different things . People can understand you can get hurt and…
Wow, you completely missed the point of my comment. First of all, the ml never ‘went back like a simp.’ That literally didn’t happen in the drama. And just to be clear, a simp is someone who chases after a person who doesn’t want them(she wants him too c'mon), humiliates themselves for attention, or does ANYTHING for their affection.The ml didn’t chase her, didn’t beg, didn’t follow her around, and didn’t try to win her back. He simply didn’t move on and was heartbroken(very normal). It ISN'T simping. You’re judging the story based on what YOU think SHOULD happen morally, not what ACTUALLY happens irl or in the drama. About the fl, she didn’t come back because her husband cheated. She came back because of that article event that pulled her into the situation. And the drama hasn’t even revealed the full backstory yet. It’s way too early to dump all the blame on her when we don’t know what happened. my whole point was that you shouldn’t mix real life moral expectations with fictional romcom logic. These stories exaggerate emotions, that’s the genre. You don’t HAVE to like the trope, and it’s fair if you personally find it unappealing, but that’s where reasonable criticism ends.
I mean they’re obviously going to talk things out before getting back together. Right now, calling the ml a ‘simp’ or acting like the fl is using him is just jumping to conclusions based on assumptions.
Woah, I watched the drama and genuinely had fun with it, so opening the comments felt... surprising to say the least. I didn’t expect people to take a rom-com(is it tho?) THIS seriously. These stories have always exaggerated emotions to create drama and that’s the whole point. And honestly, this one is pretty tame compared to some of the actual pathetic things we’ve seen in romance plots.
People acting like the ML not moving on is unrealistic is wild to me. I’ve seen way worse in real life than a guy keeping a shirt and not moving on from an ex. And it’s not like he has no personality outside his feelings, he’s just a lover boy, not obsessive.
Sure, irl you might cringe at someone not moving on, but that’s why it’s fiction. I get why some viewers don’t like his behaviour and find it unappealing, and for me that’s where the criticism ends. Calling it “bad writing” or “romanticising toxicity” feels like people are stretching just to be mad. The FL isn’t using him but has lingering good feelings(not necessarily romantic). People move on at different speeds. It happens. Everyone has different tolerance levels for certain tropes, and that’s fine. I’m just surprised by how dramatic the backlash is, especially when the story itself isn’t anywhere near as deep or scandalous as people are making it out to be.
The thing about watching a group of best friends is that no matter what they do, it always turns out funny, and no one cares about putting up a front. That’s one of the reasons I love watching them.
While rewatching this drama after two years of improving my understanding of acting, I’ve really come to appreciate Luo Yunxi’s performance more.The way he conveys emotions is incredibly intricate, and I actually feel a bit apologetic that I didn’t notice it during my first watch. this man is truly an underrated actor AND one of the best in the industry, I must say.
the zombie game had no business being this funny. absolutely diabolical of a show. loved every second of it!!! i especially like it because i love the wildlife and i can always trust Na Young Seok for a good variety show.
