Thanks, great to read your comment, and nice to read a positive view - quite different to the YouTube reviewers whose livelihoods depend on views/likes. We're at odds on taste, all the comparables you listed... I've never watched! But really enjoyed reading what you wrote.

You make some good points, they blew $1bn on Rings. It's not only about Tolkien loyalists, it's also trying to trendy by being 'woke' with no real artistic integrity - it's being called out for being tedious, badly written, lazy... and Amazon's responding by labelling their critics as bigots, racists, you name it. Of the two groups I kind of fall on the side of the disappointed fans. I've never seen any LOTR movies, not one episode of this show, just studied one book at school and hated it, not a Tolkien fan, fantasy realms really get on my nerves. I can't fathom how stupid it must feel to act with full sincerity in something like that. As for Tolkien, I wonder if his books would have been received so well if he hadn't gone to Oxford with all his Oxford alumni connections. Can't say myself as life's too short to waste my years finding out.

Noted, I don't think that about you, I also don't like commenters that attack the character of the writer to undermine their opinions. Tbh, I just saw your original comment with no real connection to the drama itself so pointed it out - I was sarcastic, I apologise. I understood what you meant but pretended I didn't. My fault.

I see thanks... most of the world isn't British or American, you write well. Do you know what disingenuous means?... think about how you used 'lmao' 3 comments back. Did you really laugh your ass off, or were you saying something else?

What was meaningful about
his tattoo?

Ok, you win - that was unpredictable. All nationalities are great, but what's that got to do with anything?

Revolutionary Sisters, everyone strongly expressed how irritating the 3 sisters were, without much foundation. You're very dismissive, considering you said you didn't know the drama - how do you know it's totally unrelated? It's related by 3 sisters getting unfounded criticism.

He was great as Tal Tal, agree - saw him in Master's Sun, but not much else.

Sorry, there has to be some understandable logic... i.e. *rules* to make a game worth playing. Great idea though 😊

How is Kim Seon Ho not already a main player? He was ML in Hometown Cha-cha-cha - that makes no sense at all, and you're lecturing this dude on how to make a list?

So it isn't ML or FL, just a main character? Would be easier if you said ML/FL, the lines can get blurry otherwise

Thanks, it's my first time looking at the comments yesterday and I was surprised by that take, really surprised! Nothing seems irritating or stupid at all, it's really well observed to me, it never crossed my mind. I've only got good thoughts about it, so I should steer clear of MDL comments - which is normal for ongoing dramas for me, mainly to avoid spoilers etc. In this case, to avoid spoiling my feeling!

Sure, I see what you mean - agree on the scenario for teens being done often, sometimes they do understand and show compassion... I think you've got one drama in mind, which one are you thinking of? I watched a light/fun middle-age/teens drama recently called Never Give Up, I liked the kids in it, they made a good job of it.

I don't see what's confusing or irritating - it's funny that the last time I saw comments like that were for the 3 Gwang jamae, weird coincidence maybe.

Again, as intended - that really made me laugh out loud, but it's too cheap to write 'lol' since it's perceived cynically these days. You're making me laugh in a good way - I like you 🫰

Anyone that tries to weaponise the word misogyny... ignore them, they're using the word incorrectly - they might as well start by saying: "I'm an idiot... here's what I want to say..."

Those are good numbers, it's on cable... and I guess Netflix is bound to be pulling good numbers too

Learned something I didn't know in episode 4... Nam Ji-hyun speaks beautiful English, with just a few words, perfect enunciation and she stayed in character

Agree. I totally relate to all of their perspectives, feelings, actions, I love how many perspectives are on display!

The only thing I don't agree with you about - this is a top tier drama, writing, acting, direction is from the very top drawer.

It was my intention to give that impression, thanks for noticing.... I think 🤔 or maybe, you missed my point? Oh well, have a good day, sir.
