Characters not being Korean and a fictional made-up world like in Perfect Crown where the writer can't follow her own rules is not the same thing.

So, no, it's not a contradiction. Casting has nothing to do with the story. There are many TV shows where the actors are not from the same country.

The only thing that's important is the writing. Perfect Crown wasn't a well-written story. It was a mess. They set up a fictional world with a constitutional monarchy where Korea is a free country, yet they still used Chinese traditions. That's the real contradiction, not the nationality of the cast.

You can't really name many adaptations that are 100% true to the original because "adaptation" literally means changing the original. A new interpretation.

Most people think an adaptation has to be the same, but then it would offer nothing to people who know the source material.

What the hell are you even talking about? Do you think I care about your pretty boy that much to create multiple accounts? I have a life.

Don't put me in the same "crazy fans" category with you all. This is my only account, and I've been using this since 2012.

I don't give a damn about what other people think, and I would never make a burner account to write negative reviews about something or someone because, trust me, I'm not afraid to call out bad acting, bad scripts, or anything else.

I'm NOT YOU ALL!

For the record, this is THE FIRST drama I've watched with your pretty boy Cha Eunwo and THE ONE AND ONLY reason I watched this is Park Eunbin. That's all.

Now, move along and stay in your padded room. This world is too complex for your brain.

Eunbin and Daehoon shined more because they're not rookie actors and can make a poorly written character better.

I don't have a problem with people taking inspiration from anything. You can't really find 100% original stories anymore. But this could've been written much better.

Where did I hate on the drama? I said it wasn't good. People can't use their brains these days and can't differentiate valid criticism from actual hate.

Everyone has the right to voice their opinions. MDL or any other platform is not only for writing blindfolded positive reviews or opinions. What a load of nonsense.

Please don't waste my time anymore. I won't talk to people who call me a hater just because I don't like something.

LOL! Maybe in another universe. Maybe in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Honey, being rude? You started with "shut up". Don't act surprised now. Grow up first before you use the internet.

I don't want to argue about taste because it makes zero sense, but his acting wasn't that good. There were some parts when he was okay, but most of the time he was just doing the same 2 types of face acting.

I said this in the "Perfect Crown" topic as well. Most of the time it's not the actors' fault; it's mainly about a bad script or a director or both. It's not like we have so many acting giants in Kdrama land, especially if they were Idols. So this isn't anything special in my opinion.

Tbh, pretty much every character on this drama was written without much depth, so it's not like they had many opportunities to shine.

This was basically like a MARVEL movie. It was fun, entertaining in a way, but most people will forget about it the next day. It had great potential if they actually dive in the darker aspect of the drama but they never did it. That could've helped Eunwo's character much more.

No, you just saw I didn't like the drama, and you already attacked me because of that. My biggest fave actress is in it. Park Eunbin, so people can't even say I'm biased.

Also, gender has nothing to do with this. Why did you even mention it?

Respectfully, shut up too, I didn't ask you. I didn't like this mess, and you probably did. Good for you. Now, move along. Someone who can't guess my gender based on my name shouldn't argue with me anyway.

Huge disappointment. The story was all over the place, no build-up, just random things happened. Some parts were funny, but overall it was meh. Especially if you watched more than 1 superhero show.

This is basically TESCO "Stranger Things" with one of the blandest male leads. I don't care if Cha Eunwo is a good actor or not, probably not, but his character was so boring and lackluster. Every time he was on screen with the rest of the cast, you could feel the massive gap between him and others, including his character. Eunbin and Daehoon carried the drama on their backs and even the so-called villain trio.

I don't get why they had to force the romance in this; there's zero chemistry between them.

Anyway, you can all argue about Cha Eunwo and his acting skills, but he's not the main reason this drama is not good.

The real problem is the story, and even a much more charismatic male actor couldn't save this mess.

I mean, acting giants like Eunbin and Daehoon didn't save it, so there's no point arguing about a pretty boy.

Sorry, I don't remember, but if I wrote that, then I'm sure I wasn't lying. 😅

Someone please try to boycott this drama, Disney might make it avaliable everywhere like they did with "Perfect Crown". 😂

All the context is there for the date scene with her ex. What are you talking about?

It's in the summary that she has sleeping problems because of her job; that's why I was like, "She's going to leave the job or won't work as hard, especially after she falls in love." Typical romcom.

I rarely drop shows after 1 episode btw, so this says it all. You can like it, I don't mind.

Duh! Of course the ML will support her because that's the point of a ML, he has to be perfect. Anyone who's on a date and cares more about a knife and how they can sell it doesn't deserve to be in a relationship.

I don't care how important the job is for her because at the end of the day she's gonna leave that job after she falls in love. It's the dumbest cliche ever.

Yep, it's not a good sign when I'm already bored after 10 minutes and the female lead is unbearable to watch. Her bf was waiting for who knows how long; he's a surgeon, and she's acting like some big deal, and even when the guy had enough and wanted to break up with her, she was talking about a freakin' knife and how could she sell it? Crazy woman. And I already know what's next. Something happens, she has to live in the same village with ML, and they fall in love, and she learns a job is not the most important thing.

It's rare for me to drop something before I finish the 1st episode, but for this one, no thank you.

Yeah, right, the QM wasn't all that bad; she just burned her husband alive and wanted to do the same with her own 7 year old son. She deserves all the happiness in life. 😂

He overdid it for a reason. If you watch the whole thing, you'll understand.

He's not a hypocrite btw. He understands social cues; he just doesn't care with certain people. He's totally different with his brother or Euna. Also, it's clear he has some mental disorder too.

If anything, his so-called "friends" are the hypocrites, but again, you'll understand after you finish it.

Exactly. But let's be real, anyone who says things like that usually don't just sit on their ass.

Sorry too long to read.

Funny how you all care more about a pedo than the girl who died on HIS birthday.

Yeah, it's irrelevant, just like your nonexistent brain and your imaginary husband of yours.
