I like how this article covers a broad range of dramas across different languages in each genre.

I'm only half way through and can totally relate to what you said. One point I'd like to add is how repeetitive the scenes are. The scenes where the ML and FL interact in the beginning as well as the discussion scenes with ML and his colleagues/share holders/friends/family. It didn't feel like we were watching a drama; more like a work meeting of the senior officials where we join as silent team members. I also have a lot of choice words to say abt the characterisation of FL and her BFF but you've said a few of those for me already. Where I am in the story, I feel like ML's niece is the only one written appropriately.

Partly. Here and there.

Don't twist my words.
I obviously said you could mention them because you were volunteering your services, for free.
Apart from the time of airing of the drama, I fail to see the others and want to know where I went wrong. I thought you could point out that much.

Please mention the mistakes.
You can mention the 4 instead of being satirical about it. The editors here work for free too. And they usually do a great job at it.

King the Land is the drama name. In the drama, it is the name of a Hotel chain

I was worried for her neck after all that bowing at one point. I am going forward in the episodes with the hope that she'll turn around and stop that teen with a first crush act but I guess, that's just impossible.

I loved The Double so much! In terms of plot, characters, actors, music. Having absolutely no knowledge of Chinese arts and their symbols, I naturally overlooked the intricate details that went into the making of this drama. Thanks to this article now, I can appreciate this drama better.

Black, white and grey are often used as metaphors in English to represent a completely negative/evil/antagonistic character/trait/ aspect (black), a completely positive one (white) and things which are neither bad nor good or could be both bad and good (grey). That is the original meaning.
EL James used it as the title of her book.
I used it for the article to represent the different varieties of good and bad roles the actors have taken up and portrayed.

Thank you!

I didn't think the title needed to be baiting bcz many read these articles already. I thought it sounded appropriate enough at the time, but I also see your point.
Thanks for reading!

I have only watched him in Misaeng. I would be glad if you could point me towards his other good dramas.

Trust issues lol. Thanks for reading.

I didn't even know he played positive roles!!

Oh wow! I didn't know Oh Man Suk and Bae Jong Ok taught acting!
Also, I've put off Wok of Love for many years. I think I'll watch it now ;)
I'm assuming you meant Ahn Nae Sang since I haven't been able to find a Ahn Jae Sang. I also couldn't find Kim Sang Hwan. So if you could please send a link to their profile and any dramas that you can think of where Ahn Nae Sang and Sung Dong Il played negative characters :)

If you would be so kind to mention which dramas have Song Joon Ki and Gong Hyo Jin in negative roles, I'd be grateful. Also, I couldn't find Park Ji Yeon. Could you message a link to their profile? (Bcz the English spellings of the names of these actors are different)

Please suggest the drama where he's a villain. He only had positive roles in the dramas I watched so far.

Thank you for your help Cho Na!😁

I wanted to see if I was the only one who felt that. This is my first drama of the FL's actress and I feel so disappointed.
Not only is her character as Mi Jin a little door-mattish, Jung Eun Jin and Lee Jung Eun don't seem to be playing the same character at all. In some scenes, Eun Jin doesn't move her lips at all while speaking her dialogue (this is a pet peeve). Problem is, this behaviour adds to the door-mattish quality.

Completely agree with the westernisation of kdramas to cater to the global audience. And all the other things you've pointed out too. Thanks for writing this.
