I can't quite put my finger on it yet but something is missing. I'm not sure what the writer intends to achieve with these characters. They're too one-dimensional. I can't feel the main character's empathy for the victims who are supposedly his raison d'être. There is no finesse to anything he does. I don't love or hate him. I'm just perplexed. The journalist is also another one, but I detest that character so there's that at least.
This drama certainly plucked all the right heartstrings. A few plot holes but tbh they're minor compared to how well everything else was handled. For once, I'm happy about a tidy ending. Cheong Ah's dad also earned his redemption arc. Will miss all the kids.
i know the writer is playing the long haul with its 50 eps but i am growing a bit annoyed with the one step forward…
I've not hit annoyance yet maybe because I expect Hyo-shim's breaking point to come after plenty of pile-ons. What I'd hate to see mid-drama is her breaking away completely and the writers dragging her back in.
Tae-ho has already caught feelings, no? Dude is gone and he knows it.
I'm ready to fight anybody who talks smack about Hyo-shim. Square up.
Also, a reminder that this is a 50-ep drama and if the characters do everything you want them to do RIGHT NOW, you'll have a 12-ep drama. So relax and enjoy (or fast-forward) the fillers and sub-plots.
I'm so mad that more trouble is coming for Hyo-shim. My babe is just living her life and trying her best and the stupid men in her life (including the one forcing his way in) are putting a target on her back. I refuse to waste my breath on the mum. She's trash.
Might be a reach but super brat might end up pregnant. Characters have gotten pregnant doing less than hugging a boy under a tree. 😂
Nothing wrong with fair criticism, thats how things get better. The problem is when people take that personal…
Your response makes it seem like I'm saying dramas shouldn't be criticized at all. I'm not.
Any criticism will be taken badly by someone who has decided their favoured show does not have faults. You cannot control that. You only have control over your responses. A lot of the "attacks" and "counter-attacks" on MDL are driven by ego. "You're so stupid you can't see this show is horrible." "You're acting all superior and think your taste is better than mine."
MDL isn't worse or better than any platform where people can freely share their views. You can decide to take the bad with the good (and there is a lot of good) and chill the fuck out. Or, you can decide to be combative and go to war with "toxic fans/supporters".
Either way, nobody can take away your right to share your opinions so long as you have a functional account.
"We should relax, enjoy things without being overly critical, and let people love what they love without judgment. It's about finding a balance between analyzing and appreciating. Happy drama watching!" I don't think a lot of the commenters saw this part. :)
"Why was I watching dramas in the first place? Oh right, it was to be entertained..." Exactly. But you get attached sometimes. And that's okay. It's perfectly human and normal. I came to dramas from books and it's not much different. Or in music fandoms. The same quarrels and arguments rehashed for years, and the same insults tossed about.
I agree 100% regarding the fandoms of these drama's ... 🤦♀️🤭 Believe me, I expressed my personal…
Would you maybe also give grace to younger people who are passionate about the things they love? (Whether it's an actor, a fictional character or a film.)
I think it's great when someone cares enough to critique creative work. I also think it's great that people care so much about creative work to defend with vim. The problem happens when either of these things doesn't come from a place of care. It is read as dismissive and trouble erupts.

Unless you're saying they wrote, cast and shot this in six months, you're right about imagining things.

This was a really good read. Well done.
