I need help

You just put my thoughts into words. I would also like to add that supportive roles are ALSO GOOD! There are many side characters that SHINES because they are not on the spotlight constantly! Sometimes you love them more than the main leads because they are so charismatic! I actually think supportive roles are better than the main ones because they give you a wider range of diversity... Why can't idols see that?

Am I the only one who was disappointed with how they handle the mermaid side story? It had such an AMAZING setup and a fitting ending but it lacked the backstory! I can't believe they messed up such a good side story by not giving us enough details.

As a quality it's definitely a plus. I acknowledged that but if the writer knew how to take advantage of their own plot, it would have been a lot better.

That's what I'm saying! But people who love this show will continue to be blind to such a obvious bad character writing. It's TELLING us one thing:

[Seon Mi battled demons for 30+ years]

But it's showing us another thing:

[Seon Mi is on a suicide mission for the umpteen time but don't worry! Son Oh Gong to the rescue!]

Her character is falling into the trickery of demons way to easily for me to be convinced by the "she had been seeing these creatures her WHOLE LIFE" plot they are trying to force feed me. Like nah, I bet she saw those demons like yesterday! Cause no person would react this naive if they knew what those demons are capable off.

Her character development is a complete failure. Nothing they can do from here onwards can savlage that.

And that's why her character is bad because it's NOT consistent. How can we believe her ability benefited her when she can't even defend herself without almost dying? What she benefited from is something I call "forced plot."

Sam Jang's character is way too damsel in distress. How the heck did she survive 25 YEARS fighting evil spirits when she can barely survive 3 months without getting herself killed!? She keeps getting lured into traps like a bimbo. From the lustful demon to almost believing the Namsan tower spirit... After that she got her soul trapped by the bookstore spirit and now this?? How did 25 years pass with this sort of intelligence? I'm not expecting a badass, I'm expecting someone who can at least DEFEND themselves without Son Oh Gong's help. Bad character writing is all over this.

I REALLY want to watch this drama but I'm holding it off because I don't think I could wait for the episodes to come out after hearing how good it is! Call me once it reaches ep 10!

I don't know if I should protect myself from this drama or if I should give it a try... I love the theme but the amount of negative reviews tell me I'll be wasting my time with this.

I only watched 5 episodes so far but Seung Won's character make me cringe so bad!

The moment when his unflattering is actually a lot better than 95% of the actors/actress pictures in MDL.

Enjoy your personal lives ladies~ I hope some of y'all never come back.

I'm so mean.

I have watched a lot of 2017 K-dramas.. I've finished 8. I'm currently watching 2 and I've put on-hold/dropped 22! I'm a veteran at this cause I'm planning to watch 2-3 more.

Could be a great watch:

Go Back Couple: rushed ending but good writing and tearjerking.

Live Up To Your name Dr. Heo: Solid drama, nothing spectacular but somehow enjoyable.

Prison Playbook: Slow at first but very addicting later on, greatest strength is the characters and their dynamic, very emotional. Have boring parts you could skip and it's not a drama you should go into expecting the "dark side" of prison because it's light hearted mostly.

Pretty good but not great:

Save Me: Most original plot of this year, very fast paced at the start, unexpectedly harsh/dark. It's one of those that could have been better BUT despite it's flaws, you will enjoy it because it's unique.

Duel: Just watch for the acting lmao. Ep 1 was like someone trying to push a wheelchair with the brakes ON (that's how slow this **** was) but the mystery (mostly the acting) should keep you in place.

Don't make the mistake of watching these:

Hit the Top: Jesus.... take the wheel.

Introverted Boss: GREAT ACTING from the actor but hella annoying plot! Watch if you think you can stand people thinking an introverted person is a serial killer!

My Secret Romance: Trainwreck. Not even cliches could save it. BAD ACTING.

My Only Love Song: Obnoxious, annoying, female character. Plot so ridiculous it will make you cry tears of blood. Hate to spoil it for you but the car is also an actor in that drama. JUST LETTING YOU KNOW!

Man to Man: Park Haejin fall out of my favorite actors list because of this drama.

The Bride of Habaek: If you want to waste your time....

It's not because it's Joy but because she is an idol lol and don't worry. I don't judge actresses that I've haven't seen act yet. Which is this case, I haven't seen her only drama for me to form any proper opinion.

The female and male lead have a 2 decade age difference.... yeah, am not sure about this one.

I'm honestly disappointed by the fans choice. They should watch more dramas instead of three.

Woo Do Hwan: One of the most hyped up coming actor of 2017 won nothing. His character was the most loved in Save Me.

Yang Se Jong: Was phenomenal in Duel by giving 3 characters their own aura even though they all had the same face.

Kim Nam Gil: pulled off a funny but serious character that was too charming to resist. His character in "Live up to your name Dr.Heo" was my favorite of this year.

They should have gotten an honorable mention at least.

I feel like they should limit the nomination a drama can be in so one drama won't win 9 awards alone.

Finally 2017 is over so Goblin could stop winning awards.

When this drama plagiarism it's own story over and over again... I personally stayed for the villain. He was a much more interesting character to look at than the main leads.

When you read the summary: Ooooooh!!! Sounds sexual!

When you see Joy:... Okay, nevermind.
