Dreamy

The way I see it they're not competing against eachother though because they're aired in a total different time slot, MOA at 9pm & Sky Castle at 11 pm. So I don't think if Skycastle ends it would have an impact on MOA ratings.

Not really feeling it on ep 1 (my first reaction was "these rich peoples are seriously crazy" X'D), but things are getting way more interesting by ep 2.
JTBC should've make this kind of drama way more often, it's their specialty I guess, loving Misty & this one.
Oh, but I wonder why they have a comedy/black comedy as their tag? Satirical, dark, suspense & melo are a more proper one to me, they're living a very sad life, really, I won't even last a day if I had to lived that kind of life they're living, lol. I love the twins & twins mom the most here (minus the dad, so far)

Very good, one of the best airing for me, it's hilarious but a heartfelt one too, I enjoy watching it so much

I love it!
Loving the pace & how beautiful this drama is.
Watching this drama is like reading a beautiful poem. Some ppl might feel bored since it isn't their thing, but some will appreciated the warm, beautiful feelings & those hidden meaning underneath.
They had their own color that differentiate this drama from the rest other drama, which's something that I adore.

Also, did you notice? This drama is dealing with people prejudice against a relationship between a mature woman & a younger man which at the sametime it's something that this drama has to suffered too just because they had this noona romance tag as their theme (there's a lot of hateful comment before the drama started & still see some bitter comment because the way they're dealing with it is against the norm they've known).

Anw, that new ost played on ep 5 last part, is it from SaltnPepper? I hope it won't become another long torture waiting for an ost released from SaltnPepper like the other one *sigh, yes, you! **sideeyeing Encounter

Both great osts, release them faster please, tvn

I second Amy, Nine is her very best work as it has the best written plot & characters, one of my all time fav. W sadly has turned ridiculous at the later half. And Alhambra had the weakest pilot among the 3 (& still is so far for me).
Imo this writer tends to make her main characters feels like a two dimentional one ( lacks depth) like the one in W & this one (so far) (probably because the plot writing is already too complicated enough, lol) but Nine had everything, characters depth, engaging story, heartwrenching romance & mindblowing plot twist which isn't ridiculous, so I gave it a 10 out of 10 too.

When every single ep always tops the previous one & their next ep preview even looks more amazing, I died, this drama is seriously, crazily good, so funny, so heartfluttering, so fun to watch, fav! I had the biggest smile from ear to ear everytime I watched this drama, my cheeks still hurt from all the laughing, am having a blast, thank you writer nim!!

Don't worry, with this writer there'll be someone died & resurrect again, even the main lead character. There'll be some reset point within the drama too, trust me, I think I've watched too many drama from this writer, so maybe that's why I find it isn't mind blowing as watching it for the first time, kinda formula-ish :P

Ahh I see, thank you for your insights.
I love classical music/drama (with YAI which's a plus) so I think Secret Affair is a clear safer bet than SITR then (besides I want my tablet to be safe & sound too, lol).
Thanks!

Thank you for your comment, now I got the gist of what Jienna might want to point out, although I still think that their concept one way or another are the same but they took a different approach.

But actually, you've made me want to watch that drama too, lol, maybe sometimes later after this drama ended. May I know which one do you recommend it more? Secret affair > SITR?

Oh wow, did I sound sarcastic? I didn't intend it to. As you may see, english is not my first language so my words might came out as wrong.

I never watched SITR nor secret affair, so I need to ask you to know what do you mean that the writer didn't understand noona dramas at all that those drama you mentioned seems understood it to you.

If that means a man - woman relationship and not a woman with his teddy bear or boy like you mentioned above,
I think we haven't reached that part yet as they're still in their early ep (early stage of relationship)
I wanted them to go that way but not from the get go, but gradually.
Tbh, I find their relationship right now are fresh & beautiful. Imo, they can always develop it as a man & woman relationship later as their bonding gets deeper (which I very much hope so)

If you follow this page earlier before the drama started, you may see that there's this kind of ppl who called/referred an actress(es) who acted on noona romance drama as cougar ladies (which I find very insulting).

That's why I'm really thankful for this drama to give a different approach on noona romance drama (with a more poetic way which I very much prefer) that ppl would not misinterpreted noona romance drama as a lust relationship between noona & dongsaeng which I find very insulting to the actress who played in the drama.

(I hope my words won't be misinterpreted this time as I don't want & didn't intend to insult anybody whatsoever).

Ikr, idk why there're so many immature fans keep accusing someone here & there and keep making a false assumption in this page, just so unhealthy.
Like trashing other dramas viewers who don't have the same "taste" with them or pointing fingers to ppl that they had purposely rated this drama lower, etc. Like dude, wake up!! this is not the only drama ppl have rated it as 1, every drama has that, even fav of mine too, & by a lot.

No need to bother too much about it because it won't matter at the end, esp given this is a popular drama with a high amount of viewers.
Like you can rated them as 1 or even a 10 but it won't matter if the majority is not, statistically the rating would gets higher or lower depends on the whole majority rate. So just relax & enjoy your drama. Too much focus on rating will ruined your enjoyment of watching.

So please guys, have some respect to those ppl who comment & posting about their thoughts of this drama and stop accussing people, giving opinions are totally different with spreading unreasonable hatred.
If fans didn't want to hear anything but praise for this drama then they certainly need to live in their own bubble.

True. Adulting is hard, you might get bitter, tougher & feel more insecure in the process but you're demanded to bear it all because that's what ppl expected from an adult would do. So it might feel rather suffocating especially in CSH situation. That's why I can relate why CSH drawn to KJH's bright & optimist personality because he feels like a breath of fresh air / a lil' room for her to breath & reminds her of her youngerself used to be or maybe something that she can learn to have it again from him.

Agree, I'd like to see them being emotionally connect first then built their chemistry as their bonding gets deeper rather than 100% intense chemistry from the get go.
Because with this kind of plot it could be easily misinterpreted as lust, which wouldn't leave any better message to the viewers at all.

Uhm I've watched that & I loved it but I still don't understand what are those requirement that apparently Jianni think any noona drama should have. That's why I think I need to ask her to enlighten me a bit.

I never watched any noona dramas before (or to be exact the one you've mentioned to compare, SITR), so can you enlighten me a bit on how noona dramas should be?

This drama seriously, they had me stitches, crying from laughter & shed tears from their beautiful bonding moment, excellent!!! It's like watching every girls fanfiction & oh, ep 4 is the most hilarious ep ever!!!

Right? Great to see them again together <3

It gets lower because it means more people are contributing in rating & in average they might gave lower scores more.

I haven't rated this yet (usually it took me 4 ep or more to rate) but I don't mind with ppl rated the series as the ep progressed. They can always change their rating as they're watching, so with those rating we can catch a lil' bit of gist on how ppl took the drama up to their current ep (the reception) but it never reflects their final score so don't bother by it too much.

The final & stable score would only be known a little more sometimes later after the drama completed, it's always like that.

I don't think it's unfair because every drama (not only this drama) had this kind of system, it applies to every drama on mdl.
So I don't get why a lot of ppl complaining in this page, even a few of them pointing the gun at someone else (which later proved to be blunder & false) & frustating much when the rating gets lower.
Relax, just wait & see, the ratings might get higher (or lower) later, depends on how great the upcoming ep will be.

I find it's sad to find you have to think it that way.

Have it ever crossed your mind that maybe they rated Encounter higher because they do think that it's the better drama for them?

Is it forbidden for ppl to watch both Encounter & Alhambra? And why do you even have to bring Encounter to the table at the first place though? They aren't related at all, genre wise, airing time etc, I don't get it.

Just to be clear, I've watched both ep of this drama but haven't even rated them yet, so I don't think it's appropriate to point other ppl had purposely rated this drama lower, lol.

Edited: I just saw your profile & find you dropped Encounter after watching 0 ep & rated them as 1, like how hypocrite you are, LOL!
