That actress was in First Love drama back then, with like 65% viewership

Wow, https://news.mydramalist.com/article/sbs-content-to-be-broadcast-over-u-s-terrestrial-television SBS content to be broadcast over Sinclair TV, a super conservative american network. Now the real issue is that kdramas are based on audience feedback, and western audience was trained for years to watch Hollywood cesspool.... so ... kdramas are going down, fast.

Ppl are already complaining that the kdrama quality is not the same. IF kdramas become Kollywood, then kdramas are gonna lose, why watch that when we all escaped from Hollywood to watch the better stuff - kdramas OF THE PAST.

Hollywod cesspool is always hopeless, always evil winning, OR totally rosey lottery-winning getting permanently happy overnight by luck, and main characters are always some strange non-ordinary ppl like ... gangsters, prostitutes, addicts, etc . THere is nothing positive, real, inspiring, uplifting, or USEFUL to daily life. The cesspool is toxic poisoning of the mind and heart and soul, an equivalent of drinking a bottle of heavy liquor. It makes you feel SICK.

I dropped watching western stuff years and years ago and did not watch ANYTHING until I discovered kdramas during the covid pandemic in 2020 when I was stuck alone at home without having anything to do... . I then went through a very hard period and spent a lot of time watching as a form of self help .... LOL

BUT I am totally ready to quit kdramas too if they turn into trash. I will not blink even once.

I watched a few short verticals to check out what it is, and I never watched short verticals ever since bc they are TRASH.
I am not into dopamine but into art. Short verticals totally lack art.
But many ppl ARE into dopamine and they get addicted to short verticals. I am worried about that.

Kdramas work on audience feedback... So... now kdramas are getting trashy to appease the westerners...
Korans and Chinese are both chasing $$$ so I already noticed since 2020 that dramas are becoming more and more westernized - For example: Actor's faces with tons of white powder, plastic surgery to make western eyes, thick lips, hair bleached to brown, all-western looking homes and habits (fried chicken, christianity, beds, bread, pasta, sweets, now even whiskey, sleeping and antidepressant pills -even drugs, psychotherapy, car chases, more s.x skinship, dramas where all characters are bad and there is no character growth or hope for better, etc etc etc etc etc .

https://youtu.be/p1_j6izmEX4?si=5gb7OWUlJ71p-sYJ is a great discussion on what foreigners did to water down kdramas...
and this is a great talk on short verticals ... "Microdrama pandemic in China" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7QRfK6-lIg
and now scripts are written with AI ....

Well - my dear ones - maybe we will not see each other here if the nice shows we enjoyED get killed :)

There are better things to do :) Since I did not find new kdramas to watch that I like, and new cdramas I tried are all trashy, I just watched belly dance videos. I am gonna invest more time to practice THAT and overall, will be better for me. Check this playlist :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2q_unXyKvk&list=RDl2q_unXyKvk&start_radio=1 AI generated that list and picked some excellent videos I have never seen, I lucked out. Other AI generated lists were bad

Oh oh oh.... Squid Games... that ML was ML in Nice to Not Meet You. Someone posted that his wife is a chaebol so I looked it up. Those cheabols are friends with Trump and are conservative christians. I can see the spreading

They already did... For example: Actor's faces with tons of white powder, plastic surgery to make western eyes, thick lips, hair bleached to brown, all-western looking homes and habits (fried chicken, christianity, beds, bread, pasta, sweets, now even whiskey, sleeping and antidepressant pills -even drugs, psychotherapy, car chases, more s.x skinship, dramas where all characters are bad and there is no character growth or hope for better, etc etc etc etc etc .

Thank you for posting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1_j6izmEX4 He did not speak about westernization of kdramas to make them more palatable to western audiences . For example: Actor's faces with tons of white powder, plastic surgery to make western eyes, thick lips, hair bleached to brown, all-western looking homes and habits (fried chicken, christianity, beds, bread, pasta, sweets, now even whiskey, sleeping and antidepressant pills -even drugs, psychotherapy, car chases, more s.x skinship, dramas where all characters are bad and there is no character growth or hope for better, etc etc etc etc etc .

I love his uncombed hair sticking out and his mischief attitude as he works super smart and hard to solve these problems and also has fun. He is super cute

Yeah most of us would not be working as hard as him but he is MOTIVATED bc he just came back from death. All of us could live like that if we chose to. After all, you live only once, why spend it dozing off supposedly safe and cushy in some corner, but really just soul DEAD, without any mission and dream in life and GOING FOR IT ... WHY NOT JUST GO FOR IT? In a smart informed way :) Do not jump off cliffs :) Honor some laws of the Universe LOL Have fun!

Everyone has the right to say their opinion. Even a dedicated watcher can vent out their frustrations. And if someone is leaving, it is good to hear WHY.

So please dont shut up ppl from giving their genuine and CONSTRUCTIVE feedback.

If this person said trashy things then yeah silence her, but she did not. She provided very specific and valuable feedback.

In response, I would say that this drama is not totally realistic but on the other hand it is, this dude came back from death and does not care. ALL OF US COULD BE LIVING LIKE THAT :) but we do not :) bc we are lazy cowards. This dude is *** MOTIVATED ***

and, I love his uncombed hair and mischief attitude as he works super smart and hard to solve these problems. He is super cute

Do NOT trust the ratings as it is some kind of teenagers / young adults / rom com adjumas that give high ratings to trashy violence like Weak Hero and nasty evil macho sexist rom com Dynamite Kiss.

If something has a high rating on mdl, actually, be suspicious

I have no intentions of "understanding" an addict to alcohol and pills. However she got there, she IS there, killing herself, and has to GET OUT of it or else.

Tough love buddy. No excuses.

If she is better now great but if she is just soberISH then she is not well yet and gotta step on it hard asap

FYI there is something called "dry alcoholic" someone who stopped the addiction but has not changed inside and is still unrully bitter egoistical old self

There is this talk that addictions even to drugs are disease, that ppl medicate themselves with it etc etc etc. Heck - regardless of what it is, it is something that kills the person, so it is th addict's duty to their own life to save themselves from it, in a positive, productive, sustainable way

and it is always a good lifestyle without sugar and grease and with good veggies, protein, sunlight, walking out in Nature, sweating exercise, yoga, meditation, and inner cleanup and healing, hanging out with good ppl and saints...

Everyone is at their own level of development and starts where they are at, AND GOTTA MOVE THEIR AS@ TO A BETTER INNER AND OUTER PLACE

In other words, IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS, WORK YOUR AS@ OFF TO SOLVE THEM POSITIVELY ASAP.

This is a lot more than you asked for :) but it is important to shake you out of feeling fake pity for others so that you can pardon yourself for doing the same. Get off your high horse and be responsible - towards yourself first.

hm your thinking is so limited b/w
So if you do not hate someone, you automatically are sad for them??
Wow you - and 5 others - failed logic.

i already said what I had to say, so read it again, think about it, and if you have something SMART to say in response, then speak up, otherwise, stop bothering me.

hm your thinking is so limited b/w
So if you do not hate someone, you automatically like them??
Wow you failed logic.

i alreadu said what I had to say, so read it again, think about it, and if you have something SMART to say in response, then speak up, otherwise, stop bothering me.

yesssss

Hey everyone is happy he tried to kill that dude ... ? Heck no, that's going too far
and telling ppl to hate and curse ... ? heck no. that works initially as a start up fuel to fight, but totally backfires in the long run. Those ppl should channel their hard feelings into organizing neighborhood watch or something like that

Dont create hype and drama for the sake of filling episodes

The rest is cool

I am happy that somehow magically the dad, daughter and son SUDDENLY became caring people who can talk and step forward and own it. But that process... was too murky. It was like AS SOON AS MOM DIED, EVERYONE MAGICALLY BECAME A BETTER PERSON. Hm yeah... ?
And I am glad to see that baggage came from newcomers, like .. Daniel's mom who is a total nasty snake narcissist... etc

Also - why sell that house??? A house is Seoul! the value keeps going up and up!!!! why not rent the campground or buy something cheap, and let the kids live in the house and raise their own families... ? Just a thought. If that house is in a good location and in a good shape... But still, I would hang onto it, Seoul prices must be going up like crazy, in a few years maybe he could buy 10 campgrounds... But yeaj the campground land is also going up LOL as Seoul expands.... So they gotta get in before Seoul gets there....

it SHOULD be like that bc all those new loves came with baggage and ppl in their lives

A bitter nasty kid like that means 1. his dad abandoned him and does not take good care of him and does not spend enough time. 2. his mom is the same 3. the kid is alone and dumping what he has to say to his mom and dad ..... onto dad's gfriend

Dream Life of Mr Kim, Love Tracks, Walking on Thin Ice, Haunted Palace, even First Night with the Duke if you have time or fluffy, whizz through Bon Apettit Your Majesty just to see the birth of the new star the ML actor, and you might like Dont Call me Maam and Tempest.

I dropped everything you dropped LOL except Typhoon bc I wanted to learn about IMF, the drama itself was mediocre at best

But then they usually start as overbearing controlling cold men... who turn into this...

This particular one is an enabler. FL was / still is? an addict and kept using him as her "nurse", so until she works through it, nothing can happen
