I doubt the shooting even started. How are you deciding if it's gonna be a hit or not?
Bad timeslot and channel history. That's how. MBC these days have nothing but flop dramas because everyone flocks to paid cable and KBS2 dramas, the current drama in this time slot hasn't even hit 3% and is the lowest rated drama in MBC primetime history. The previous drama was also infamous for getting bad ratings. Drama before that, the same story. Drama before that, the same story. And so on. You get the point.
It's the opposite, the quality of BLs have increased. Esp since last year, many of them even break the BL barrier…
I prefer this over 2Moons. I've not read the book for this. But the series is much better than 2 Moons series, especially the first one which was like a sleeping aid for me.
Ughh Wattpad. If it's just enemies to lovers it can work. But in Wattpad stories, the characters are just pure…
Accurate. Wattpad's the land of angry teen stories and bad grammar and if you correct their errors, they won't listen to you. Just a day ago I corrected a story because it kept changing the main POV from 1st to third (mid-sentence in fact) and the author's response was - https://imgur.com/a/u7vbNXZ
Ooh C-drama have so much toxic juicy dramas but you are right, they can definitely be a little too draggy for…
Cdramas still recycle the arrogant rich male lead trope xD it's cliched and so outdated but still entertaining nonetheless. But yes the length can get super annoying, especially the 30 episode+ ones. I usually just end up skimming those shows.

Trust me when I say this - they not only love them, but if you criticise the whole concept, they'll go apeshit on you. I once criticised a story about a guy who was abusive towards another boy in high school (like he used to beat him up on daily basis), who later falls in love with him and the author as well the other comment makers went apeshit lmao
I do not support all the abuse and shit ...but I like this trope like hate to love from enemies to lovers not…
Ughh Wattpad. If it's just enemies to lovers it can work. But in Wattpad stories, the characters are just pure abusive to each other. Like those gay stories on Wattpad about bullying falling in love with their victims. Like it goes from physical and mental abuse to love. Wtf that's just fked up Stockholm syndrome shit (hooray alliteration) if you ask me.
BUT!!!! They ruined it when ML kissed the SL but we didn't even get a kiss at the end from the ML & FL.
It didn't make sense. Like if he was so in love with the FL, why tf was he even making out with the SFL. I didn't buy his confession whatsoever. The FL deserved better.
I don't like the ML in this. He either likes the FL or the SFL, he can't make up his mind throughout and he keeps leading the FL on. Unlikeable character through and through.
I prefer the secondary romances esp the nerdy girl and the jock.
"which is why when I see people using energy on hating someone, I always side eye and suspect some level of love in there (but that's just me)." - There's a fine line between love and hate basically. Minhyuk's obsession with the FL was super unhealthy. The couple is the epitome of a toxic, troubled relationship. What shocks me more is that the writer of Secret went on to write Just Between Lovers, a show with a couple who're super supportive of each other, basically the epitome of an ideal couple. The writer is legit good.
As for my guilty pleasures: Korean makjangs (the weekdays drama that air Mon-Friday for 100+ episodes). They're so bad they're good. Basically. Full of stupidity and slap worthy characters, but they keep you entertained with their stupidity and slap worthiness. LOL
Also C-romcoms. They're usually so draggy, full of cheesy fluff and bad acting. But they're entertaining nonetheless.
Honestly if you ask me Junho made a bad choice accepting this drama after looking at what time it'll air. It's not gonna be a hit at all. It's airing Wed-Thursday on MBC at 21:20 timeslot, dramas during that timeslot are always struggling to get even a decent ratings.
Yay Nakagawa finally getting a main role after a string of supporting role.
