I'm planning to watch this, but reading some comments kinda making me ignore it forever. People giving 9-10/10 because of kissing and bed scenes. What the actual hell? The same people give low ratings for more mature shows. Madness.
So, tell me! Who's worse? The haters or the blindfolded fangirls who always give at least 9/10 to everything,…
Yes, I finished it not long ago, and I know how many idiots camping here on MDL, and not only under this drama.
I don't want to dictate anything, even tho I think the ratings on MDL is messed up, almost as much as on VIKI where you can't even find a single Kdrama with a score lower than 8/10, I won't fight with people every day because they rate something 10, I don't have that much free time.
Like I said, my main point here is that in the past couple of years, MDL is a mess in terms of comments and ratings, and it's not just haters, it's hardcore fans as well. They are just as bad as the haters.
There are some people who actually want to talk about dramas and rate them properly without being biased or don't mind if someone has a different opinion.
For example, I rate this show 5/10, I didn't hate it, the main plot was okay, the actors were good just like the OST, but the writing was below-average, hence the rating. Yes, I think this show, and a LOT of others, don't deserve high ratings, but ratings won't change my opinion, so I don't care. Honestly, it would be nice if MDL removes the whole rating system. That's the root of most fights.
"I'm talking about the people who jump on comments of someone enjoying the project just to tell them that what they like is crap, actually, and they are stupid for liking it."
I agree!
"I don't understand why you are separating two different annoying groups like they aren't the same problem when they go into spaces that don't bring them joy."
Haters and blindfolded fans are the same. They may be not writing stupid comments all the time, but they are the reason so many dramas are overrated, and honestly, I've seen a lot of them attacking reviewers if they rate a show lower than them and dare to criticize it.
"My criticism isn't for the people who simply watched the show and didn't enjoy it for valid reasons. My issues are with the ones who are harassing people...this includes "fans" of projects as well."
So, we're on the same page.
"I have used my critical brain to analyze multiple aspects of this show. So please do not try to say I am a blindfolded fan because the leads are attractive. "
Never did that. I read your timeline tracker, but that doesn't make the show better or well-written. The thing is, the time traveling aspect of the show is inconsistent and makes no sense. Time traveling stories are my biggest faves, so I have high standards, even if it's just a Kdrama. I don't expect a high quality Sci-fi show, but I expect the writer to follow her own rules, and she didn't do that. You can read my review and see what was my problem. No timeline tracker can save this mess.
" Which I'm sure you've noticed, being a member since 2012. (I'm assuming we are similar in age)"
Yes, I know, that's why it's rare to see me writing a comment. I'm 37, btw. I usually skip hyped shows for a long time. Unless my fave actors are in it. I mean, I watched multiple mainstream shows years after the release. That makes it much easier, because I don't see any fan wars.
"There was a show that I was enjoying until fans of it went into OTHER shows comment sections just to put the other projects that were airing at the same time down...it was weird behavior, and those are the people I don't associate with."
Honestly, I don't give a damn about what others say, if I like something, no one can ruin my fun. The only thing that can affect my expectations a little is the hype around a show or a movie. That's why most of the time I watch them later. I forget all the fuss.
So, tell me! Who's worse? The haters or the blindfolded fangirls who always give at least 9/10 to everything,…
Like I said, no one is better. You're acting like if the people who rate 10/10 every show because of a cute boy or a girl are any better when they give low scores for more mature Kdramas and trashing it on the comment section. I don't care if people will give 1 or 10 points but stop acting like this is just a one-sided thing. It's not!
Rating something 10 or 1 is just DUMB! Most people don't know how to rate and doesn't even care. It's not about what they like. Idiots who rate something 1 wanna fight with the other idiots who rate everything 10. Two sides of 1 coin.
Also, it's not about who is the "target audience". A story can be great, even if it's made for little kids. If the writing is crap, like in the case of "Lovely Runner" it doesn't matter who was the target audience, it won't make the story better or more consistent. The writer didn't even care about her own rules. Never followed it more than once!
I agree that there are a LOT of haters who doesn't have a real opinion, but as I said, you can say the same about blindfolded fans as well. Most Kdrama fans don't care about the story or the writing, if the main couple is cute, it's enough for them.
At least I have a real opinion and know how to rate things. My point was never about ratings anyway, I'm just saying haters and blindfolded fans are the same! That's all.
Things I will never understand. Users who create accounts just to leave hateful reviews but use no other aspect…
So, tell me! Who's worse? The haters or the blindfolded fangirls who always give at least 9/10 to everything, because it's not nice to give low scores? What's the point of rate something? Not everyone is a hater just because they have a brain and can tell if a show or a movie is crap. Also, many people using fake accounts to give high scores. So, both party are the same.
I deserve an Award because I finished it! Absolute mess and inconsistent writing. I think this is the most overrated drama on this platform, like ever! It's madness a badly written drama can have a 9.0 score. The prime example that most people don't care about the story.
I respect your opinion but if you think this is messy, you have yet to see A Time Called You. That was the most…
Yeah, I'm not planning to watch that. I think 1 inconsistent time traveling show is enough for this year. Lovely Runner isn't confusing at all, it's just badly written. Honestly, I prefer a confusing story if it's consistent and don't abandon its own rules every minute. The writer should be banned from writing, especially time traveling stories. The love story was average at best.
Or that, yeah. Could've been so much better. Also, the animated part was a bit boring in the 2nd season. It was original and fresh in the 1st season, but in this, it was overused, I think.
10 awards for The Fiery Priest 2 9 awards for The Judge From Hell 8 awards for Good Partner
Honestly, I can't complain. All 3 were amazing shows! I hope we're gonna get a 2nd season for the Judge from Hell, and Netflix can finally have it after the SBS partnership, because Disney doing a shit job with Kdramas. Buying them for only 3 countries.
That part is not really important. It's not bad, but they didn't delve into it deeper, mostly because it's a feelgood…
They didn't do that, it's just really short. They tried to show his struggles with the PTSD, but stories like this needs a lot of time, like in Daily Dose of Sunshine, but that wasn't about a soldier.
