right?.... like kdramas have fallen off so hard we used to get amazing shows every month and sometimes even 3-4shows…
Actually this spring-summer-Autumn has been very good. The Atypical Family, Will Love In Spring, Miss Night and Day, The 8 Show, Midnight Romance In Hagwon.... And lots of good dramas airing in Autumn-Winter season with good cast and interesting dramas slated for 2025.
Especially actually good Romance Romance dramas are FINALLY making a comeback in 2024. 2020-2023 was filled with only cringe romcoms, giving Romance genre kdramas a bad rep. ๐
Now Romance kdramas in 2024 are finally more mature with older cast or more mature themes or more melo-romcom than just silly romcom and or have a unique elemnt added to them like in Atypical Family and Miss Night And Day or are Hyper-reliastic mature romances ala Will Love In Spring.
I spent 2020-2023 mostly watching Thriller-Comedies or other genres or only very OLD romance kdramas, the romance was dry as saharah desert those years Lmao ๐ ๐ญ Only Decent romances were in No-romance kdramas ala Happiness and Vincenzo. ๐ And even the OTHER genre kdramas/thrillers ended up disappointig me abit too. I Think Happiness, Vincenzo, One Day Off and Celebirity were the only dramas I really liked in whole of 2020-2023 LOL ๐ ๐ No 10 given to a single drama in all of 2020-2023 lol
.....HOWEVER NOWADAYS in 2020s the WAITING TIMES are ridiculous.๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
I have a list of 300+ Upcoming dramas from 2023-2025, with only the "Airs soon/End of this year placed ntop of list and only ones I look forward to now, Rest of the dramas is better to forget they exist, because waiting for them is useless now. ๐ ๐
Really now, not even One Spring Night with Han Ji Min??? ๐คจ๐คฏ
It's not even a noona romance in the drama, their characters are even mentioned to be of SAME age there lol, which is actually believable. Their age difference really isn't felt if you watch the drama. I highly recommend you to watch even when not into noona rom.
I DID really feel the age gap w him and Son Ye Jin ๐ But with Han Ji Min it's like it's not there. Maybe because Jung Hae In gives mature vibes and similar "thoughtful introvert" vibes as Han Ji Min, they are well matched and directing is wow. ๐ฅฐ He is a great actor too, always plays well with other actors and has chem, and chemistry with Son Ye Jin despite them lookinga bit odd with the age gap lol. Han Ji Min he's the cutest with both having same similar vibes it's beautiful, IF Jung Hae In ever dates a costar irl one day wouldn't be surpised if it was her lol
....I hope they KEEP it this way from now on, ONLY done as WHOLE plot of dramas, and no longer inserted into other…
You misunderstood me, I said THIS drama too has most of plot Childhood connection, which is a GOOD thing!
I'm PRAISING This drama LOve Next Door and Will Love In Spring, Welcome to Samdarli for making it the whole/most of plot, and CRITISIZING the other dramas for adding it later as an annoying small subplot TROPE.
THIS is how it SHOULD be done. Either make it the WHOLE/Most drama right away and promote it like that or DON'T ADD IT AT ALL later as a dumb subplot/trope when the drama is about another thing/Sold as other plot!
You know what, I changed by mind. It would be good to send both him & the person who set it up (if it wasn't him), if ONLY to SEND A MESSAGE to other actors/ent agencies that this type of behaviour against the public is not ok & will lead to scandal.
I'd feel bad if it WASN'T his decision and he'd jailed, BUT ultimately it might even be good for him, in the scenario that maybe the agency FORCED him to travel despite his anxiety, in this way he'd be able to stop travelling and stick to only acting and no travel if he cannot handle it. Because the greedy agency would be FORCED to stop forcing him to travel to make money through fan meetings or other travel-requiring events, simply to preserve his good rep lol. ๐๐
Didn't this actor say he had anxiety before though? Then it's POSSIBLE he himself requested this level of security to feel more secure while travelling. IF that's the case it was his decision, the the actor needs to realize that HIS Comfort/Anti-Anxiety doesn't come before public comfort, and like I said he has no way of knowing if there are people with conditions or diseases who'd be made not secure by HIS security.
In that case I suggest he STOPS travelling if he cannot handle it without the same level of security as normal, even Yoo Ah In with Panic Disorder or other actors with anxiety never had a scandal about excessive security. There are MANY MANY actors with anxiety in k ent, some have been more outspoken about it than others, yet none before have required an excessive security level.
I'd agree with you if this was an american or eurooean actor. But actors in korea don't have much say, 90% of decisions are by their stupid agency who controls them. Jail to agency CEO more like it.
Also I'd like to add that some people might have Epilepsy, Chronic Light Sensivity that causes nausea, autism caused light senistivity, PTSD etc. That could cause great discomort/even danger if say someone with severe epilepsy. They have NO way of knowing who flashing lights at could trigger badly/dangerous situations to, so this is really reckless behavior.
So not only can you not just flash lights at random people like this who it's uncomfortably to, but to same it might even cause harm!
....Now I assume something dangerous like this didn't luckily happen, or knets would be screaming about it. But just the possibility makes it all the worse!
Will Love In SpringWelcome to SamdarliLove Next Door2024 theme is taking the Childhood Connection trope and making…
....I hope they KEEP it this way from now on, ONLY done as WHOLE plot of dramas, and no longer inserted into other dramas where it's not welcome! It really NEEDS TO STAY AWAY FROM MOST DRAMAS!!!
Will Love In Spring Welcome to Samdarli Love Next Door
2024 theme is taking the Childhood Connection trope and making it the WHOLE Drama lol & not just a small part/trope
.....I actually think it works much better this way, where you watch it FOR IT, and not in other dramas where it's FORCIBLY suddenly inserted as a trope in 2nd half FOR NO REASON regardless of the other bigger plot not needing it at all lol
Young people see these sort of dramas and see that people support the SMLs behavior, They start to think these…
I want this drama to teach young people a lesson about trusting men who show lack of boundaries, by having 2ML turn out to be a killer/kidnapper of the missing people etc.
Whats wrong with people here?? Why justifying the SMLs actions as care and love when all he is, is just a stalker…
Alot of people here on MDL are naive young teens/Early twenties girls who don't know any better yet. The type who have creepy men pray on them irl/trick them into an abusive relationship by prtending to be a nice guy, because they don't realize yet how scary/violent/women-hating waaaaaay to many men are.
.....Older people justifying it need to grow up.
See also the comment sections/positive reviews for Go Go Squid, with a stalker FL and Verbally abusive toxic Alpha ML, drama aimed at young girls, who keep justifying both FL & ML behavior.... ๐คฎ
Or comment section of The Last Empress, with waaaaaaaaay to many people getting 2ML Syndrome and shipping FL with a Psychopath who tried to kill her many times....
Or How people justify Creepy Goblin Main Leads of Older Man + Young girl ship or Mr Sunshine Main Leads age difference where he looks like her uncle.... I like age gap romance btw (for example Find Me In Your Memory, Something In The Rain, One Spring Night etc. Even this drama Miss Night&Day has a nice age gap between FL(Night) & ML but age gap not felt or creepy because both are mature.), the ones where they don't make it Creeeepy by having FL be a high schooler or excessively childish or have a power-inbalance and the younger one in same maturity level as older.
I know right! Frankly I'm SHOCKED about how many I've enjoyed so far! Usually I just watch old dramas because have a huge Kdrama slump with new ones lol! 2024 has been so different in a beautiful way!! ๐ญ๐ค
I know right!And the chemistry is extra shocking ,given the Language Barrier between the two ๐ ....I DID NOT…
"since Kentaro looks quite like Bae In Hyuk and he shared a LOT of chemistry with her in her prev drama LOL "
I LOVE this reasoning lol ๐
It's like when you like a person because they remind you of an ex/type of guy you've previously been into, and the familiraity is what at 1st attracts you to them, until you get to know THEM actually and then you begin liking them for them. Your reasoing is so true to real life so๐
(This may have happened to me alot lmao, you either like them for them eventually or you dettach from liking them because it's not fair to keep liking a person because of someone else lol)
Yaaas!! Finally, someone understands. I can't watch those childish romances anymore.
Exactly. Just made this comment on several dramas' page:

who knows it' spossible, since this is a fantasy drama,
where FL turns old too, so maybe Aunty turning into cat isn't a stretch....
by having 2ML turn out to be a killer/kidnapper of the missing people etc.
He has NO BOUNDARIES whatsoever!!
STOP DOING THIS EVERYONE!
THIS REALLY LEADS TO DANGEROUS SITUATIONS IRL!!
