for me, as a 'not looking for over complicated dramatic forced to be difference' drama viewer, if the drama includes romance, i want to see the FL spends more time with supposedly ML, rather than being touchy-touchy most of the time with supposedly SML. It really ruins the enjoyment of watching it. goes from entertainment to irritainment ... or annoyingment

i think it's ''i am not cdrama screenwriter''. won't be fair for another country drama if it's generalized.

the FL just enjoys playing the field. remind me princess agent.

i think Tong Zhou is the most sensible of all when he speaks for some viewers at ep 12, ''no one s here for this depressing play''. he gains self-aware from fictional character to an unsatisfied viewer. FL's stubbornness goes from 'it s understandable' to 'it s acceptable' to 'does it still make sense?' to 'isnt it too much?' to ' isnt it too long?' to ' is it still entertainment?' to ' that's it . im dtpping it' - i'm just venting, not spreading negativity intentionally -

sorry, i just dropped 3 cdrama in 2 weeks because of same reason. i feel like i have to vent

yeah, i'm stopping now. it's bad for my low tolerance of cdrama tropes. i was looking for entertainment that's entertaining so i can be entertained. not some treatment for low blood pressure.

if you don't have have a solid plot, please don't make a drama. you're making too many dramas that fresh idea/trope/plot just jump out of the window. throwing in popular actors/actresses doesn't make the messy better. love triangle again and again, pushing main leads against each other throat again and again. past blood-debt again and again. stubbornness and denial again and again. just add amnesia, noble idiocy and exaggerated misunderstanding/miscommunication/misidentity/mistiming, then we have a party.

After ep 10 ''lets make the main leads go against each other and drag it for 2-3-4 eps before reconciliation'', i quite like ep 12 with tong zhou dialogue ''no one s here for this depressing play''. i think the fictional character just become self-aware about the how plot goes.

oo, but all that reasons make me hate a (c)drama as a whole. i can't help myself not to compare dramas from different countries (read : kdrama vs cdrama). One produces less drama, but more selective in choosing the story to present as a drams, less repetitive formula and setup. the other one produces too many dramas that's they (are forced to ?) mix-n-match old ingredients then present it with different toppings ... and plates.

i'm a kind of hater (not particularly for this drama, this drama is quite good for me). but not toward any actors/actresses. it's toward director's choices, writer's diligence/laziness, and the amount of cliches used, repetable setup and formula to build a story for the sake of making a drama/or fulfill OTT's demand.

yop, she (or the writer) did it again. i'm at ep 9

that's how most multi-angel starts, especially in cdrama, again and again. (unintentional) flirting /leading masked in form of loyality, or innocent, or insensitive, or gullible, or indifference. but most of times it leads to same destination, our ''favorite'' love multi-angle trope. maybe i speak too soon because i'm just at ep 6. I jus don't like cheap love triangle set up.

i'm on eps 6. she creates her own love multi-angel. yeah, it's ''fun to watch'' ... NOT.

i feel the same too. but i just Wonder why the writer didn't feel the same. if they've tried to see from viewers/readers's perspective, maybe they would feel the same

for me it's enjoyable till eps 30/31, and its nature as a cdrama takes the good out of it.

yeah, the last 6 eps feels more like a cdrama as it regularly be.

i read the synopsis. setup - develop feeling - getting closer - misunderstanding - break up - meet again - try to get even - reconciliation - the (happy?) end. why does it feel like a deja vu?. the hell, I'm going to watch it.

sometime i think for some other (big) country, it's like '' can't find good webtoon? get any mediocore one, as long as it's finished. we have contract to fulfill. just throw in popular actors and actresses''

Maybe because they make drama not merely for filling OTT's demand, so they are more selective in choosing plot.

do i need to tag this a spoiler?
