There are so many factors that make someone attractive besides just looks. Kindness, a sense of humor, confidence,…
To each his own, of course.
But IMO as an average-looking person, it's actually nice when fictional characters who are NOT of "the beautiful people breed" find love and happiness as main characters, or at least second couple characters.
It actually adds relatability to the story and makes it easier for me to invest in it as a viewer.
Is it a trend these days for the wardrobe people of various series to NOT iron the hanger lumps out of shirts?? I see this so often it's unreal.
Ep 1 @ the 30:18 mark.
--------------------------
Other than that, though, I am enjoying this series. It's a lot funnier than I expected it to be! And I like the chemistry between Ya and Apo.
The first time I saw the actors Big and Park in a series as a paired couple, I highly doubted they would work. But somehow, they did. I like them better in this series, though.
And is it my imagination, or is Big getting more handsome? He's one of those guys who I think will become even better looking as he ages, even into his Silver Fox era.
I have been so disappointed by this series, but kept watching, hoping things would get better.
Sadly, they have not. I wanted / expected so much more from the cast, considering how many USUALLY decent actors there are in the series. But it's just boring, poorly acted and badly scripted.
So, even though there are only a couple of Eps left, I have decided to drop the rest of the series.
Winny is such a completely natural actor. I've liked him in every series I've watched with him in it. His body language, the way he interacts with his fellow cast mates, and especially with Satang.....he creates characters that literally feel like real people you'd meet somewhere.
On the other hand.....I don't like Ryu.
His acting is NOT natural in the slightest, and I feel like he really needs to step back from everything and go back to acting school. The role of the Doc should have gone to someone else. Not sure who, but anyone else that can actually act would be a start.
Sex in a dystopian setting is one of my least favorite kinds. Especially if there's no established connection between the two people.
Someone above mentioned flashbacks. Yes, but even with those, there's no real connection (so far) and I just don't want to see any NC scenes with the story the way it is at the moment.
For one thing, the acting is WAY over the top. Ridiculously over-dramatic.
For another, the mysterious female character's INCESSANT laughing and screaming is a massive turn off.
Third, while two of the characters go in search of food, the other two forget about injuries, forget they're starving, forget about wondering who they are/where they are, forget about wondering why they're stranded in this weird place and suddenly decide to have sex after only knowing each other for less than an hour. THANK GOODNESS they didn't show the NC stuff.
It's just......odd, and off-putting. Like I said, I'll see what Ep 2 looks like and decide from there.
I just finished Ep 1, and I already want to punch Shi Yi, the mouthy, CLUELESS assistant to the female doctor, Xue Ying.
I can't stand characters like her, who can't read a room, constantly interjects useless and annoying commentary into conversations that don't include her, and blurts things out that should not be discussed in front of other people.
I hope she is a VERY, VERY minor character who doesn't appear in many scenes.
It's one of those rare instances when I was very glad they didn't show the NC scene, lol. Yeesh.
I'd rather they didn't - at least for now. There is ZERO connection between any of the 4 guys that would warrant any NC at all between the characters, other than just biological urge to screw the nearest receptacle.

It actually adds relatability to the story and makes it easier for me to invest in it as a viewer.
Kindness, a sense of humor, confidence, shy smiles, an open mind/open heart, and a positive outlook on life are just a few examples.

And that's not good.
"Doh Kyung Soo's clear eyes and innocent smile perfectly matched the image of Johan we had envisioned."
....gave me MAJOR chills. It sounds like the series will be super intense.
My mouth is STILL hanging open in shock. OMG.

It's an interesting series so far.
I can't stand characters like her, who can't read a room, constantly interjects useless and annoying commentary into conversations that don't include her, and blurts things out that should not be discussed in front of other people.
I hope she is a VERY, VERY minor character who doesn't appear in many scenes.
And that, I'm honestly not interested in.
But we will see.
