That gurl being all kind and such is for the sake of personal gain, as she says to SY that she don't want Uk to…
Yeah she clearly does have feelings, that's is exactly my issue with her, and yes I don't know why they are giving her so much screen time and giving her the right to interfere and make choices for UK to begin with, she isn't his relative nor dear friend, and even if she was a relative or friend, it still doesn't allow her to be this nosy. Even Yul his total bestie, chose to keep his tongue to himself and let Naksu be with UK in the end till she disappear. I seriously wanted Naksu to kill her in that dang graveyard place at some point lmao
Watched 7 episodes so far but seriously that Physician Heo granddaughter character...why did they ruin her so bad?! Like in season 1 she was this humble, kind, sweet, polite, and mostly mature girl, I actually liked her (And did believe it would be nice for her to end up with Yul since both of them are sweet and very polite), but in this season she turned into this super annoying and rude bitch, filled with jealousy, and has nothing better to do than make the FL's life hard and ruin her relationship with UK (And don't get me started about her servant girl who is also utterly rude and annoying, especially for a mere servant).
Like UK made it painfully clear that he has zero feelings for her since season one, spent three years not bothering to look her way even after Naksu died and yet she still tries so bad to shove her love to him down his throat and is being all salty and shitty after all this time when she supposedly accepted his love for Naksu, so why make her become this way instead of just having her move on already?! What the point of adding this stupid, pointless drama to waste screen time on when the plot is already overly packed with many more important stuff that need to be properly addressed and solved.
Also the Jinyowon mother leader (I can't remember her name, Bu Yeon's mother I mean), she became awfully crazy, annoying, creepy, and very obsessed with making both her daughters miserable to death as well that I'm kinda waiting for her to die at this point lmao (The queen too, but in a way I still sympathy with her since she was still a massive victim and suffered for long. Having to live the rest of her life in a deformed sick body that isn't even hers to begin with and that belongs to the woman who ruined her, is indeed traumatizing as hell).
Some might defend the Jin mother by saying she went through a lot after losing her daughter for years, but seriously she finally got her back, and knows that her actual daughter's soul will be back so why try so hard to torture her and even try to forcibly make her marry some asshole to create babies, basically treating her like a damn cow while staying locked in that terrifying room forever?! And when she was still lost the mother treated the younger daughter coldly and basically ignored her existence, making her feel unimportant compared to her older sister instead of being more affectionate to her since she is the only one left of her children. Nothing about this mother is sympathy worthy at all. She just directs her anger and hatred towards the wrong people (Especially her daughters and UK).
This season should've had at least 12 episodes instead honestly, I worry the ending will be a total mess judging by how the plot is going so far.
Seriously? Is this not just some fans wishful thinking?
I mean people be literally getting kicked out of their groups and companies for dating someone, marrying and having kids, or sometimes being a bit mean to someone in elementary school (Not saying bullying isn't bad or anything, yeah they should feel bad for it and apologize when they can, especially if they did go as far as physically harming someone even as kids...but seriously having their whole lives and career ruined over something they done as little shits is too much).
And don't get me started on fake rumors that also lead to many celebrities losing their career, agencies, and even getting sued and then it turns out they were innocent and their career will still suffer even after everyone realize that they aren't guilty. In USA and some other places some celebrities could do drugs, go to jail, be super rude, vulgar, and disrespectful to fans/the public/fellow celebrities, commit many seriously and actually bad stuff and they will still stay famous, continue their careers, and have a shit load of fans.
Not saying that allowing them to do shit and still live their lives normally is good, yeah making celebrities having a bad reputation something that could lead to their ruin, basically forcing them to behave as properly as possible is valid, but I mean in Asia they be overdoing it. It's cool when someone does something truly bad, but considering dating and having family something bad and worthy of punishment and harassment is just tragic.
Finally someone mentioned this. I forgot to bring this scene up in my review, but the way I see it is it was glorifying…
It's cool, English is my second language as well so I don't care if you're not fluent at it, I can still understand what you mean and you don't sound impolite so don't worry about that.
I mean yeah, the face card games are supposed to be harder, though honestly they aren't, they were much more simple than the ones in first season honestly. Most of them where about pure luck or just pure stamina (With some hidden deep messages, but the deep messages got nothing to do with the issue am talking about nor they are the reason the games in season two should be considered harder). Only two games that truly required the use of mind where the ones played by Chishiya (The prison game and the court game), okay maybe the Queen of Hearts game was tough and yeah it would be hard for Arisu to face it on his own hence is why Usagi had to interfere, but all that still doesn't really change the fact that Arisu is still the most non useful character in the whole show.
In first season they introduced his character as supposedly the smartass boy who can survive easily just relying on his brain power and can come up with plans and lead others to victory blah blah like how Karube (His blonde friend) said, but compared to other characters he wasn't really that smart and he is defiantly not that physically strong as well, he is the MC so he should be truly unique at at least one thing (Like for example Kuina, Niragi, Aguni, and Usagi are physically strong as hell. Chishiya is smart as hell), but Arisu is just average at best at everything.
Even when it comes to charisma he is the most bland (Not insulting the actor here, am talking about the character itself), and nothing about him should make anyone view him as a leader or someone to rely on or risk life for. You could remove his character entirely and the plot won't be affected that much and any other character could become the new MC easily.
When the MC who the show should focus on the most is the least interesting and most pointless and useless character in the said show...that's an issue and his plot armor is just baffling, yeah many characters had plot armor in AIB and some were basically immortal at some point, but he had the biggest plot armor, they all get severely injured or even die and he just gets away with barley any scratches, why? Cause he does the least work and effort among them. Also every other character hypes his ass and are willing to die for him and why? Cause he is the MC and that's it lmao
Okay so:1- I can't bring myself to ship the two leads at all. I love Jaehyun, he did great job, especially since…
Oh, I hate Tsunderes as well but both anime and dramas lmao Also yeah it seemed like they hired a kid author to write the plot or something. It was disappointing as hell which is sad because I was hyped about the whole entertainment industry concept they picked...
That's how Asia like, they are more on the conservative side. It's normal for them to not have sex or stuff of…
You're welcome, glad I helped somehow and I get it. It's due to the main leads in this drama both being so shy, polite, and timid, so it's obvious they wouldn't rush to be all touchy and lovey doevy, so it actually made 100% sense to me for them to end the drama with just them holding hands. Especially male lead, he literally was avoiding accidentally touching FL like she is a walking plague lmao and struggled to get comfortable around other people in first episodes, so the part where he hugged her in latest episodes was quite the improvement.
About the teens, both are just kids, so it's also understandable that they will be more on the innocent and pure side, not all kids become all horny after puberty, and I found that much better, at least they still kissed unlike main leads who are adults, and it would be odd to me for them as minors characters to have more sexual scenes than that.
Hope you will get used to this side of Asian dramas, many of them are quite romantic, mature (As in personality and plot wise not fanservice wise), healthy, and adorable so they are totally worth the watch even if they might not be as liberal as some people would prefer.
Finally someone mentioned this. I forgot to bring this scene up in my review, but the way I see it is it was glorifying…
Exactly! Arisu spent half the second season being severely depressed, unable to even get up from laying the ground, and the rest of time he was just wandering around aimlessly or just surviving due to both luck and others constantly risking themselves to save and protect him, mostly Usagi. Even during the whole fight against King of Spades others were getting shot, stabbed, and shit, and he basically did the easiest part and if it wasn't for Aguni the King of Spades wouldn't even get into that store to begin with. Aguni and Heiya saved him when the King of Spades almost killed him in the forest.
Against Queen of Spades, again Usagi did most of the job and convinced others to join them, then fought against the queen to protect him...etc with the Queen of Hearts she hurt herself to get him back from the psychological manipulation thing. At this point Usagi should be the MC instead lmao
Like Arisu didn't even come up with any actual smart plans to win the games, it was Chishiya handling the mind games and being both smart and wise.
Literally it's Chishiya and the girls (Usagi, Kuina, and Anna, even Queens of Spades and Hearts) who carried this show along with the brilliantly written and hot looking Kyuuma/King of Clubs who although wasn't a main character but still left a strong impact with his ideology.
Even Hatter was quite interesting for some time to me and the King of Diamonds character was good too, while Arisu existed just because. I don't hate Arisu, but the fact that he is the MC and everyone where obsessed with him and totally relied on him while he didn't 100% deserve it pissed me off a bit.
Okay so:1- I can't bring myself to ship the two leads at all. I love Jaehyun, he did great job, especially since…
Oh, Happy New Year! :)
Am also tired of high school romance stuff this is why I enjoyed Dear.M in a way since for a change it was about college life instead (Though it was more on the fluff side), and I didn't know about this Be My Boyfriend drama actually, but since I see Byeong Kwan (A member of the boy group A.C.E is acting in it and I love that group) I will check it out for sure, thanks for the recommendation!
I honestly hated shooting stars, I like both the lead actors in it, but I hated the drama itself and most of the characters lmao
I have three episodes to go in this second series, but wanted to comment about the first three episodes ... it…
Very well said, I also loved his character, he was brilliantly written (And I obviously loved his body too lmao he is so hot I was going crazy and the hairstyle fit his face perfectly, even his voice was sexy).
i agree, i think if it actually ended any of the ways mira was messing with them about, it would have been extremely…
Same, I like this realistic ending and it had a very deep message behind it. Glad the two psychos dudes from the prison game Chishiya played basically decided to die lmao
I'm sick of that plot when SML wait years to confession to FL but start rushing when he see her develop feelings…
Or when the ML who is the FL's childhood friend discovers that has feelings for FL only after she falls for SML or any random dude, and then ML goes batshit crazy with jealousy out of the blue and decides to chase her ass like a hunter even though he never showed any romantic interest in her before or didn't bother to confess if he realized he liked her since years lmao
Also the whole Dojin buying a ring thing...was he planning to propose or something?! They ain't even dating and Song made it clear she is into the ML, so the ring thing was a bit too sudden. Like the girl likes the Jindo dog, what is Dojin expecting as a response from her to his feelings?! She clearly sees him as an older brother or something of the sort.
Surprisingly I don't mind the romance since I like the main characters, but I actually would prefer it if Song ends up with ML and Dojin just viewed her as a sister figure instead of the love triangle plot. I just hope the second season won't heavily focus on the love triangle bullshit, and they will focus more on the cases stuff like this season.
Finally someone mentioned this. I forgot to bring this scene up in my review, but the way I see it is it was glorifying…
I agree with you honestly. Most of female characters seemed stronger than the male characters in first season and they all knew how to use both their physical and mental abilities to kick ass, but this season they are just...lacking to say the least. I guess they wanted to give the male characters the most attention? Especially Arisu by constantly making others rely on him, when he is most unreliable character in the whole show honestly. Chishiya is way better and far smarter than him seriously. Heck even the king of clubs (Was his name Kuma? or something like that?) would make a much more interesting MC than Arisu.
I also kinda hated Heiya's character, like why make her basically a rude teen slut?! She tries to sexually assault Arisu and then chases after Aguni who should be viewed as an uncle figure at best to her, and that scene in season one with Niragi licking Usagi...etc was just gross as hell, and now they decided to repeat it again just because?!
sort of, the manga actually explains who the joker is and the reason the games exist in the borderlands. so i…
Who is the joker? and what is the reason? Can you spoil? I really want to know and I probably won't bother reading the manga lmao and I honestly don't care about being spoiled even if I do end up deciding to read it in future.
I seriously wanted Naksu to kill her in that dang graveyard place at some point lmao
Like UK made it painfully clear that he has zero feelings for her since season one, spent three years not bothering to look her way even after Naksu died and yet she still tries so bad to shove her love to him down his throat and is being all salty and shitty after all this time when she supposedly accepted his love for Naksu, so why make her become this way instead of just having her move on already?! What the point of adding this stupid, pointless drama to waste screen time on when the plot is already overly packed with many more important stuff that need to be properly addressed and solved.
Also the Jinyowon mother leader (I can't remember her name, Bu Yeon's mother I mean), she became awfully crazy, annoying, creepy, and very obsessed with making both her daughters miserable to death as well that I'm kinda waiting for her to die at this point lmao (The queen too, but in a way I still sympathy with her since she was still a massive victim and suffered for long. Having to live the rest of her life in a deformed sick body that isn't even hers to begin with and that belongs to the woman who ruined her, is indeed traumatizing as hell).
Some might defend the Jin mother by saying she went through a lot after losing her daughter for years, but seriously she finally got her back, and knows that her actual daughter's soul will be back so why try so hard to torture her and even try to forcibly make her marry some asshole to create babies, basically treating her like a damn cow while staying locked in that terrifying room forever?!
