I am actually enjoying this show, I really like all the people in the house, I think they are all talented and interesting. I also really like the panelists. I'm not sure about why the editing is so focussed on Ji Young, and Min Gyu but I'm sure it's about selling the show. Even though it is irritating everyone. I'm also not sure why Ji Young forms these intimate, warm relationships with all the boys and then gets overwhelmed when they all like her. It's pretty easy to set boundaries really. It was weird when Hu Shin got teary when he saw her, and told her had prayed it would be her. Clearly the guy was totally infatuated, how could she not see that. However, I still am enjoying it. It's actually better than some romcoms I have been watching of late. I do have to add that the Ji Young/Min Gyu date in his cafe was so elongated, the water pouring and the banana cake....boring cringe. Given that everyone is raving about Heart Signal 6, I checked it out. Not for me, I find the contestants boring as dishwater, the bit I watched was them standing around the kitchen unable to function as if they were on Mars. I mean "a fried egg???" When they eat, which seems to be most of the time their convo is exceptionally self conscious and tedious. The panelists comment on the most mundane crap, Rainie doesn't stop screeching and Jerry Yan, sorry he's so dull. Soz to disagree, just my opinion. lol
Am I the only one who cannot handle this drama anymore!! No matter how I look at it the girl looks like a pervert!!…
My sentiments exactly, so irritatingly stupid that I dropped it! Obviously the plot of touching someone's backside for a flash of future insight, could be potentially funny, in a slapstick kind of way, if that's the sort of humour that floats your boat. However, looking at comments below, it improves. Which it could only do frankly lol! Great cast though!
People now like to watch this cringe, usual, overrated romance dramas π
Yep, agree, rehashed boring as hell tropes with slow mo focus on insanely attractive actors, thin plot, weak acting, escapist garbage...can no longer watch even 2 minutes of those dramas!! Kudos to this one, writing, acting , direction just inspiring.
Another well written post!!A good analysis of the characters and their behaviours. This show certainly isn't for…
Yes, it depends on your focus. For me an element in drama that I enjoy is how someone emerges out of a shit condition, to thrive. If you're into action, special effects etc that's a different take on a show. But I have to say I think DD is doing pretty well on that front as well. Not really understanding why it's not getting the love it deserves lol!
Either you like this genre or not. I for one am totally intrigued by the brain washing/cult idea, the training and exposure to so much violence and horror so that those children's entire being is broken down and numbed is fascinating to me, it happens IRL a lot, and on an individual level as well. It is almost impossible to retrieve any trust or normality following that type of cult brainwashing, so I admire the pace of this as Ro Um potentially is forming a relationship with MY, and the team. The acting is amazing, I'm in awe, the pace is perfect and he's not pushing her too hard, he has the patience to handle her moving forward and withdrawing. It's very smart, well written and insightful. That she could continue to evolve is amazing given the latest shafting episode with the pres. and his revelation. I like the comic relief, because the show is dealing with some tough, dark stuff and could become maudlin and really black. I have to say I like all the characters, they're doing a great job, but I'm so impressed by the leads. Sure the story has flaws, and MY seems to teleport himself all over the place, in an instant, and I'm sure it's not the show for everyone, but it's my no 1 right now. I really like the idea of healing and recovery and getting even. And I think they're doing it so well.
This is without a doubt the best kdrama showing atm. The leads acting is phenomenal, restrained and really interesting. The development of both characters really perfect, considering their back story. For me the script is tight, clever and unpredictable. The idea of a brainwashed cult of highly gifted young kids, is really an interesting idea. I don't feel like the violence, and horror of this is overly exploited, but the severe repercussions of their experience, are clearly seen in the young adults, implied by the acting, without the usual snotty, copious weeping, break down seen in the usual kdrama characters recovering from the inevitable childhood trauma trope (with a few additional fatal illnesses thrown in) eg See you In my 19th life, Good Mother, Bad Mother). The connection between the leads is really electric, whether it develops into a love affair or not, who cares. I get why this is not to everyone's taste, but I'm loving it.
