The problem with fast burns ain't just the forced romance (young actors struggle with creating instant chemistry) and the valid development that we wish to see but also how we know they won't keep us interested for very long. Fast burns only work when the plot isn't centered around romance. Otherwise we be bored by episode 6.
I was impressed by his role in Ghost Bride. I kinda wanted the story to be centered more around his character and how he lived with the bride. Too bad he was evil.
I knew anime intend to overreact so this didn't surprise me. I'm actually binge watching it. I skimmed/skipped through the first episode of the anime to see how true to the adaptation they were and honestly, I think they did this drama BETTER.
I literally remember someone camp in the comments for DAYS arguing with everyone who doesn't like the romance.…
Debates are fun when both side are merely sharing their views and possibly giving valid point on why their opinions might be correct. I don't like the romance because I don't like the female lead. I can mention the flaws of it but the main dealbreaker for me is the female lead so how is someone gonna "convince" me it's the best romance in the world? When my dealbreaker isn't the actual relationship lmao
I usually don't give a helpful or not response, but because the worshippers of this show are easily triggered…
I literally remember someone camp in the comments for DAYS arguing with everyone who doesn't like the romance. None of us who didn't like it were trying to change other people's opinion yet why do those who do like it, keep trying to force us to change our mind? Someone called everyone stupid for not seeing the romance. Please go outside, breath some fresh air and stop being overworked over a drama.
I usually don't give a helpful or not response, but because the worshippers of this show are easily triggered at every single small criticism, I've decided good critiques deserve love.
The poster reminds me of a webtoon I read where the people got stuck in an apartment. I have a feeling this might be a live adaptation to that so I ain't gonna spoil it. But if it was from that webtoon, I can't wait to see who plays the antagonist.
I watched this movie last year with my sister randomly... let's just say I wouldn't pay money to watch this again even if the cast are filled with great actors. The plot was average that any new writer will probably be able to come up with the SAME EXACT storyline (probably even better, like no offense). It lacked originality. The only thing that stood out was Woo Do Hwan transformation at the end (which we should thank the Make Up Artist for that) but that's literally it.
Trying to hate Sun Ho challenge FAILED. I really trying but I can't. Even if he becomes evil, I know I won't stop pitying him. He's set up to have a tragic ending where he will always be seen as the evil one.
You forgot to mention another one. When they play the ugly main character card... where? They weren't casted in the drama because they are ugly. I also hate it when they force this "she is ugly, she is pretty!" It makes the viewers get weirdly judgemental and a strange sense of superiority where they insist the "supposed ugly" one is PRETTITER than the "supposed pretty" one and how they "like her face more than the other". First of all, they are both pretty okay? Don't pit the actress against each other and insult "the pretty one" just cuz the plot forced it there.
No. 5. I think we can all agree we are sick of it. It makes a cameo in literary every drama. I'm glad some dramas do it in the intro, and get it over with but I can't stand such cliche. It feels lazy.
As for No. 2, I'm always aware of the poor people wearing fancy, expensive clothes but I learned to accept it because they gotta earn their coins.
Kitae ended up being my favorite character. I'm a bit surprised since I don't like bullies but he is the only one owning up to his shit unlike all the other characters. He was also unexpectedly loyal to his girlfriend for someone who just wanted her money.
I find this show a bit underwhelming. They bring up good plot points that give us expectation but then they turn it around, suppressing it. I'm not sure if it's because of censorship or if the author wanted it to be more mild (since it's about high schoolers) but this could have been more brutal.
