Please, name me a revenge drama that's actually good. I watched Temptation of Wife, Home Temptation, The Fallen…
Most of them don't, that's the issue. I can't name one that had a satisfying ending except Vincenzo but that one is a little too long. Penthouse was good but had trash ending, The Last Empress had an okay ending, could have been better, Celebrity was good and different but had such a disappointing ending, Doctor Prisoner was also good but I got busy and never got to see how it ended. That's why I said I don't think kdrama do revenge drama well.
Because a lot of people hated the ending and the conclusion of the male lead.
The production team got a little greedy by extending the show not knowing the actor didn't want to sign for the additional days because, if I remember correctly, he had a fan meeting abroad that he just can't cancel. But it was still a decent ending for a show like this, could have been better though for sure.
Really happy they are making a live action for omniscient reader but how are they gonna fit everything in a movie?…
Maybe they trying to do multiple films or just bring attention to the webtoon instead. One movie might cover till the King's throne arc and end it at a cliff hanger with the disaster arc or they might include disaster arc + underworld. This genuinely not a webtoon for a movie but I'm guessing they just want to give a taste and never again try. I won't be surprised though if they made it a movie because of the budget. I feel like the budget might be too high for a drama.
I don't think it made a mockery. Even though it didn't really touch on the topic of mental health I think it appealed…
In a way, it does because it never acknowledges the male struggles. A show like this might give them a different perspective to look at their lives differently, maybe give some hope but it can easily also trigger the wrong reaction by making them feel guilty or hate themselves more for feeling this way. It depends on the individual.
This was a really good drama. I really did enjoy it and found the message interesting enough but I also felt like it made a mockery of suicide and mental health. It all kinda boiled down to that saying of someone going. "My life is hard." And someone responding. "Other people suffered more." At the end of the day, just because other people suffered more, it won't magically stop my suffering. I won't be going through the next day and feel relieve but I did find it interesting enough in a sense the male lead would be able to go through life with a different, fresh mindset. Maybe he will feel like improving the quality of his life after all he experienced? And learning to re-love the people he left behind.
I've seen 2 episodes so far and the show keeps doing the slow panning, zoom in to the male lead's face to give that, "Wow, he is so handsome.' But should have done it for Yoojung too π my sister and I are like, "Wow... She is so pretty." Every 30 minutes. She needed the shalalalala scenes more because she is gorgeous.
Agree that the romance is unnecessary. But I always see this as a female-centric drama. The "male lead" is more…
Sorry for the late reply. I wish the show was more focused on her. It feels like he was supposed to be a side character but they shoehorned him in somehow to give the side romance plotline because they might have wanted that demographic to stick around and not get bored from watching it.
With all the money and the power one can get, succession is kinda like a race of life and death situation. You…
I've seen Reborn Rich the drama version and they took it to the next level. I feel like every ambitious person wants power to do anything but for me, it's more like are they that many people that are so ambitious they will kill? Oh well, it's fictional story so of course we will get more of the extreme side lol I'm sure there are true stories related to it but it's more portrayed in fiction that side.
maybe they take all their belongings lol. but yeah I wonder if some companies acutally act this way in real life??…
Literally. They are one minute away from committing actual crimes. Is it that serious? I get the fact it's a million/billion dollars company they want but a cafe shop as an alternative is still a business that will achieve them income regardless. But oh well, it's kdrama. I don't think they want us to apply to much logic on that.
Me trying figure out if I'm heavily invested or I find it ridiculous when kdrama act like a succession race is a life and death situation where one of them have to die or else their life is over... Like LMAO calm down. You are still rich even without the company π Like I promise you won't be penniless... You won't be in the street the next day.
I have to say, this show is up there for me as one of the worst dramas I've seen this year. I know I'm in the minority with this opinion so I'll put emphasis that it is my opinion.
I have to say I see why people like it. Kdrama don't really write good revenge stories. When you struggle to name even five that did revenge well enough then that's the biggest sign they don't do it well which is why this standout, not because it's well written, but because the bad guys get what they deserve decently enough. The execution was lackluster, the characters are lackluster, and progression was lackluster. Everything is mediocre especially the male lead. They wasted his character instead of developing him properly. The romance was unnecessary. My biggest disappointment of the year considering how over hyped it was and still is. This is the drama that looks good because everything else is bad.
I'm only 3 episode in but the servant is my favorite character! She will survive ANYTHING π she already making money, done herself a business when she barely knows what's going on. She is hilarious. You go girl!
But maybe I'm fully wrong about him and he will like impress me when the movie actually came out... I hope.
