I am not criticising anything it was a question to a wrong initial statement and there was nothing insulting about it. You are being very rude and unreasonable towards me for no reason. I just corrected her age in form of a question even.

I don't need to prove being better then any person. The whole concept of you thinking one person can be above another person is regressive, insulting and bigoted. I am doing just fine in my life, in my thirties and feel fulfilled so stop projecting and insulting me and throwing out words for no reason.

Also you don't even know what Karen is apparently and stop insulting people out of nowhere who never even interacted with you.

Are you ok ? How is calling a 40 year old woman a 40 yo being a Karen ?

I don't think what if matters it's just there to point out the double standard. It's still bad as it is but atleast in show she gets instantly arrested for doing it.

Isn't she over 40 ?

I wouldn't bat an eye if it was ecchi anime / manga plot device 🤣

Well idk if I would say copy but beginning actually reminded me of hot fuzz 🤣 I am glad someone else also saw that.

I do wonder how this would go over at the pitch meeting if they said ML is gonna had power that needs to touch ass but if it's a girl it's played of as funny I guess..

Well I only pointed out that because you said the thing about not caring about the rating and only caring that idols are in you like.

This show structure is written like those old kdramas that I didn't watch and enjoy and is the reason many people didn't like it.

Plot is not developed and neither are character so I couldn't care about them or resolve. This show only enjoyable thing is the hook they put in with the idols and their interactions but everything around it doesn't work and is done poorly. Stuff just happen because they need to happen for them to use the product they got paid so more then half of the show is written around them interacting and using sponsored items, rest come for some plot development that can tease drama for previews only to instantly get resolved next episode and we got nothing yet again. I won't keep going and pointing flaws but this is basically only good for eye candy and got inflated by idol fame.

As someone who works in the industry, just not kdramas, things in kdramas didn't get better out of nowhere. They followed the money and usual soaps just didn't produce enough anymore because viewership declined they decided to improve it. So improvement only comes mostly comes when the ratings are bad, profit is bad or public opinion declines over time so future product won't sell as much and revenue drops because sponsors will be harder to secure.

Another reason dramas got better and people like me started watching who didn't before because unlike cdrama that can work domestically because of sheer amount of people China has, S Korea needed to adapt for the worldwide and push to western market. That set different expectations, higher budgets and increased production values and quality of the shows produced while most cdramas are still same old crap because people will still watch it and they get huge money with low effort and just push out souless copy paste dramas because people keep watching.

So now when I see this drama that is on life support and carried by idols being in it despite many flaws I see regression in kdrama and not the future I want for kdrama that I cared to enjoy recently.

And then you will be here like 2 or 3 years from now when they produce more of these idol kdramas that have nothing going for them but actors and complain how kdramas got worse recently because only then you will see it for what they are when it's not the idol you like in it.

I don't mind idol being in it but that can't be the only thing going for it. These shows can still exsist and be enjoyed but I won't be singing praises or expecting good ratings for them.

You can do whatever you want and like it. I am just saying how it is.

I also like some subpar content that is not really good objectively but I don't pretend and convince myself it's a masterpiece and don't wonder why rating is not high.

This show is like 6 or 7 but can still be enjoyed for some things by everyone and some may even like it all.

It's not about me thinking it's crazy and you enjoying it but watching just because the idols you like are in and having no expectations and critical thinking if their performance may not be good or show having flaws is hurting the industry standards if you blindly support that. Sure you may not care but that is still what you ultimately objectively do. They will see it's commercial success and produce more shows focused around product placement and subpar writting and shove idols in if they can or can't perform best for role that is written for the story.

Well I don't know about that but this show seemed avg to me with many flaws so anywhere around 6 or 7 seems bout right.

The fact it was over rated is why many people went in with wrong expectations.

And that is the reason they keep making crappy idol dramas and not putting in efforts to improve them.

Because you watch it anyway.

Those didn't even effect the score more then like 0.1. Rating is dropping only recently.

It's like 5-7 rating drama imo based on your tolerance of how much low effort writting you can consume and how many Ads you are willing to watch. Out of dramas I watched from last few years this one has the most obnoxious inclusion of ads where I can only asume plot was created to revolve around how they can put in their sponsor.

If you fast forward and skip to few good scenes then I guess it's worth watching because you won't waste much time. Tho I dropped it at episode 13 because I just couldn't care more about resolve or consume another ad centric plot, fake drama for previews and bad takes on divorces and other issues,..

No the outcome is not better then divorce so idk what the other person is talking about. Stance this drama takes on divorces is regressive and hidden behind mockery where whole situation is made as comedic relief.

Not really surprising for drama with many other bad takes and awful writing.

It's just lazy plot hole. Episode 5 was by far the worst episode and her backstory with bulies was done badly and makes no sense to me. It was so unbelievably frustrating and bulies didn't feel like actual people but actors who play some caricatures and then whole fight sequence was wtf with bat, stabbings, rocks, etc .. like wtf ?? This is a school ffs and they go on her like they wanted to kill her. It made no sense because normal person would die long ago and they had no knowledge of her having powers yet they fought like they were in a movie fighting against super hero.

And don't give me bs that no video was spread of the fight.. that would be on the web instantly and of all those kids who got bullied someone would for sure want a revenge and get them all expelled so they have peace.

I hope the way bullies are potrayed in kdrama is not how it goes in their schools because that seems mental and the fact that teachers don't do much and classmates have no backbone and everyone is just fine with it makes me feel bad for Korean society.

First 4 episodes were great so I hope no more crappy episodes like #5 come.

This started out as like 8.5 for me and going down to 7 or maybe lower with all the latest bad writting and missed potential.

Well FL got everything handed on silver plater without even being qualified because side leads just did all the work and financing because they were simping.

She has no business sense and just waits for someone to appear in house.

Did they just casually wrote super power that sexuality assaults people butts in order to work just for the joke ?

Yeah no, kdramas are way behind compared to western shows in terms of diversity or stereotypes.

It's usually borderline insulting or ignorant and imagine giving non Korean actor lead role or role that is not meme or random bad guy.

Well idk if mother lying about not being hungry is the same thing. She could be rationalising and convincing herself that she is not hungry but she is still actively telling white lie and is feeling hungry for sure. Mother still knows it's a lie. I am talking about the mom and kid in the restaurant.

ML I asume is missing some piece of information or actually believes his actions lead to her death which could be true and at same time mean he is not actively lying to his knowledge he is speaking the truth.

I think FL powers work on persons subjective truths not overall objective truth. It can not work on objective truth because many questions she asked and got answers for were based on subjective truths not some.e outsider god perspective on what is true.

Sure this is all fantasy but if her power worked based on objective truths then that would be way more complicated on how it works and judges truths and at same time more lame and boring because you can't play around with subjective truths.

I wonder if they are gonna explore stuff with hypnotised person.
