Slow burn, story twists just my thing

So many ppl think this story is boring and slow burn, too confusing and just stupid.

I however disagree. I enjoy the slow burn and twists (although I saw many coming - not telling because I don't want to spoil it). Many great shows are too fast for my liking because they only had 16-20 episodes...I just hope they won't rush it in the end.

• Storyline gets 8/10 points from me. I like me a good crime, but: -1 because I would have liked for "Eunuch Go" to solve more crimes and get into a competion with Han Sung On and another -1 because I'd like to have more funny skits - but I get it...for the show to include these two points they'd have to make it a family drama ?

• Acting gets 10/10. I'm just a huge Hyun Shik fan. I just enjoy watching him. Joen So Nee and Pyo Ye Jin are great actresses, I enjoy all scenes with them. The other 3 male characters have far too little appearances, but those too, I like. All other side characters are either very likable or in vilains cases - great to hate ? shows how amazing their acting skills are.

I would recommend this drama to anyone who likes slow burns and many twists. Others...watch it or don't - but don't say you haven't been warned or just wait till all episodes are out and binge.

Sooo. Let's wait for the next episode - I can hardly wait....sooo excited ❤️

98 Talents - too many talents lost - 9 great talents left

This show started with 98 contestants from around the world and split into two groups: K-Group (Violet) the Korean Group and the G-Group (Pink) the Global Group with contestants from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam, Japan, Thailand, US and Canada.

The contestants were evaluated individually and with each episode more and more ppl were eliminated. Many talented ppl were eliminated too soon in my eyes, but I have to say by the end with 18 contestants left - they were 18 really strong contestants and they all deserved to be there.

In the end we were faced with the difficult decision of choosing 9 ppl out of 18 very talented pp.

And in the end we got 9 talented and amazing ppl named Zerobaseone (ZB1) with the Fanbase Zerose.

The nine very deserving contestants are:
Zhang Hao, Sung Han Bin, Seok Matthew, Ricky, Park Gun Wook, Kim Tae Rae, Kim Gyu Vin, Kim Ji Woong and Han Yu Jin

Many people speculate that MNet cheated and manipulated votes - and of course that can very well be, but we have no evidence what so ever that that is true, so I do not accuse them of anything until I do have evidence and therefore I give MNet the benefit of the doubt. Furthermore, many don't get the results that we received, but I have to say - I'm not that surprised by it. This is a Korean show to create a new Kpop Group, so that there are many Koreans in this group is not surprising - and that Matthew is the only Non-Asian in the group is also not surprising either (and please don't say he is Asian - no he is Canadian of Asian origins, but he is Canadian until he choses to switch his nationality), because the Fanbase in Asia is just much larger than it is in the western world - maybe now they get more and more attention, but the main Fanbase is still in East Asia. Then they say that Zhang Hao and Ricky didn't get enough screentime and they aren't as promoted as other. But maybe that just has to do with it being a Korean Show and they're not that fluent in Korean yet (I think they already speak very well, but they are not as fluent as Koreans). Would I have liked to have seen more of the G Group - definitely, but I have to say - this is the first time something like this was made and for the first time MNet did a good job. As with everything - it is a learning experience and I hope that if MNet chooses to do something like this again - they will take into consideration what the fans of the show criticized and we will see.

So I have to say all in all I truly enjoyed the show and just hope that MNet will choose to create another show and give the other amazing contestants a chance and create other groups, because they are all VERY DESERVING of debuting!!!

Everyone had their top picks for this show and I have to say, I was spoiled by the result we received it the end. Here were my top line for the new group:
Zhang Hao, Sung Han Bin, Lee Hoe Taek, Kim Gyu Vin, Soek Matthew, Kim Tae Rae, Park Gun Wook, Keita and Kim Ji Woong

Kim Ji Woong wasn't my first choice - I was actually more "attracted" by Jay's and Ricky's voices, but in the group I imagined they wouldn't have fit - so I chose Kim Ji Woong as an alternative - as you can see only 2/9 I didn't get - but as I surfed around I read that many thought that Hoe Taek is too old and Keita too small.

I hope that when ppl watch it they will only enjoy the vocals and dance skills as they already know what the result is :) - SUPPORT ZB1!!!
