Noy

I'm newer to kdrama too...just got into a few years ago.

I watched a little bit of everything from various Asian countries

B4 i sporadically watched it because of friends. I'm more consistent now....but i don't watch too much.

I also read the comments for a base but it don't determine my enjoyment.

What is a genre you like?

But again....we have to watch at least 4 ep and see how it makes us feel/vibe with us. I feel that as long as it brings you joy...

I like a silly fluff....but i gravitate towards human connections/ growth/ development ...comedy


Fight for my way - slice of life. I love the relationship of the characters. 3rd quarter slows down a lil (i feel it does for majority of the dramas). But this drama for me has lots of heart. "Do what makes your heart beats faster"

Pinocchio- again a bit of slice of life....life lessons...friendship...characters growth

Save me - deals with cult...friendship

Rookie historian- character growth and development. I enjoy the human connections. Strong women

School 2017 - high school drama. But i like how they display friendship. The best scene for me was the backstory for the 2 ML.

Japanese - Alice in borderline **thriller **human nature

Crash landing on to you - Cliche but they made it their own. It has lots of heart. The comradaries makes it for me

Good detectives - there are many moments that made me upset hahaha....but i enjoyed it... I still can't get over certain events in there. But i made me cried and had heartful moments

My girl - is an older drama. Rom com

Movies

Train to busan (zombie)

Alive (survival/ zombie)

There's more...i can't rem at the moments. But those are easily accessible on Netflix

I only watch what is available. And most things are not available sadly

Shin the bully scene with M & his friend was subtle but amazing.

I felt it

If ppl don't like it. They can say it.

It's ok if they do.

You enjoy it and just state why you enjoy it.

For me....it is the repetitive complaint/ linger.

If you don't like it and all you do is complain/criticized. Why stay at forum you dont enjoy.

Like a KAREN hahaha...

They can state whatever they want. Some ppl won't enjoy/like it.

I'm glad you're really enjoying it. Many ppl are enjoying....

Just comment on why you do...funny moments and comments. Go to IG...ppl are more compassionate towards the characters while still calling out their BS

I guess so...hahahaba

I guess there isn't many good shows out there.

I only stay in drama forum i watch and enjoy.

I can't fathom staying in a forum of a drama i don't enjoy hahaha

I agree....most drama drag by the 3rd quarter.

This also come off as "light"

Calling ppl dumb is unnecessary.

Ppl can not like it. They can critique it. When they linger... that's a bit much...as in constant complaints. The show cannot possibly bring them joy. They should leave

Don't worry about ratings for any drama.

Ppl are not dumb. Not everyone will like it.

It is doing well in ratings on Netflix

It gives you joy. That's all that matters

I see nothing wrong with ppl critizing this & not liking it.

But a constant..repeated comments are a bit much. Why linger ? Saying the same complaint. Don't like it....state it & go spend time on a drama forum you like.

In run on. I didn't like some of Dan's actions. Stated 1 x & maybe comment another time. That's it. I didnt judge the character. I empathize but didn't like certain actions. I wished for more growth to see..

They need to reset individually. Alone.

EO needs therapy.

I'm glad they had

Sy saying there is help (for youth)

If they will throw that in... then...they should show the healing/ character growth

They are interchangeable.

Saying it's a unhealthy relationship. They shouldn't be together....sure....i get it. But I'm giving another perspective. Because the drama address the reason.

Also she is not responsible for how he reacts and feel. She is the catalyst. No matt3r how she handled it.

He would have done the same. That is hoe he cope. Not her fault.

But i have read the same complaint soo many times and havr to rebuttal a few things.

Are you responsible for every break up? For their emotions and how they hurt? You never lied? You never did stupid things?

Yes. She has mental health issues...trauma. sh3 talked about killing herself. I have addresed this

These behaviors are unhealthy.

But people are NOT stuck in the behaviors. People can ans have characters growth.

I want their growth individually. To do some on their own.

I never said if they should or shouldn't be together .

I also have said she needs to learn to love herself and seek therapy. That if the writer didn't do so...it will be unjust

She wasn't contiously lying through out the relationship.

She was that personality at that moment.
He never asked her what. They never discuss anything . They never talked and discussed anything. Is lying ok. No. She didn't linger. Broke it off, not the best way but she did. She lied ...broked it up and kept on her lie. She told him no. With her words and actions.

She is fighting her own battle. She is thinking of killing herself.

He is responsible for his actions. Is she a catalyst. Sure but she did not make him do anything. He chose to grieve that way. She told him it was over. Made herself the villain.

I'm just talking about th3 characterization. You're opinions/assement is yours....but i have counter on it.

Are you responsible for every break up? For their emotions and how they hurt? You never lied? You never did stupid things?

She should not be blamed for everything. She has blame .....he be there way regardless of a break up.

Say a person likes you. You rejected them. He is a drunk cuz he had bad coping skills/ habit.

Are you responsible for that action?

To me you're not. You're catalyst.

I find these toxic comments narrow minded. Sy is toxic too...hit ppl...yell at ppl...obsessive...she is also an alcoholic...
But you dont say a word. Bias ...?

Again for the millionth time. I or no1...said it wasn't unhealthy. Everyone has said and mentioned it. But they are open to the explanation and ppl being able to have growth. You seem stuck on this and condemnation that they cant change.

Ppl are not stuck in these behaviors. They can grow. But you are stuck on it and keep saying the same thing. Only criticism & complaints about the same thing ...ov3r and over. ...

I don't expect everyone to like it...it don't matter to me...it's the constant nonstop rehash of the same thing...soo toxic...so healthy. You habe commented that for like 50x already. Ok we got it. No1 has rebuttal that....but other has put more emphaty into it.

I have not disagree wirh your stated. I added extra to it with emphaty and rationale more of the situations and certain aspects

I will always be done responding. Again beating a dead horse

There is lots of funny moments and content that i see....

I hate her hair style.... I'm soo distracted by it. It looks horrible to me

Definitely.....all in perspectives/ perceptions.....how it vibes with us.

I always feel it is a 50/50 chance....rating...reviews/ comments are a base....it won't determine how we react to it while watching......

I'm enjoying this....but 40 eps....

I feel things usually drag by the 3rd quarter

Putting that aside and watching as is.....

I enjoy it...many ppl enjoys it.

I find there is lots of funny moments.

I find try at least 4 ep....it will either click or it doesn't.

I tried many drama with rave comments and didn't enjoy it....always a 50/50 chance right....

Fragile.
The reason why I hide myself away when my anxiety rears its ugly head is this;
I don’t want to drain other people’s energy and happiness.
I don’t want to be a burden it fills me with guilt.
I don’t want to have to try and explain for the millionth time I can’t help how I feel.
And, I don’t want to hear yet again, ‘Isn’t it time you got over this’?
I'm fragile, so fragile and it seems to me that very few understand that I am hanging on by a thread and that one wrong move will snap that thread and I will come tumbling down in one huge messy heap.

I hope they address this more and show characters growth & development. It would be a shame/disservice not to. Since they had EO talking about suicide and SY telling people there is help.

With this aside. There is lots of funny moments...interactions....

Our loved ones can be ignorant of our trauma as they have never experienced it.
Their well-meaning advice can hurt us which then adds to our trauma.
Lack of knowledge and awareness is, unfortunately, an abuse survivor's enemy in a time when they need love and support the most.
Education in regards to abuse and the impact it has is crucial if we are to ever get to a place where survivors are heard and understood.


They told me I was weak and pathetic and to just get over it.
There is nothing weak or pathetic about me.
You don’t just get over it, but you do rise above the abuse and the ignorance displayed by those that have opinions on something they know nothing about.

Conquer your demons within one at a time.
It’s not a race.
It’s your journey at your own pace.

Yes....i hoping for character growth.

They had EO saying she thought of killing herself...then SY mentioning there is help.

The writers will do it unjust not to address Mental health issues (since they brought it up) and not give the examples of growth and tools to be used

Me too.

There is some improvement/ growth

The frontal cortex (judgment part)of our Brain.....doesn't fully developed until we are at least 25/26


These are sides...and we only get a snippet. But they all have toxic behaviors/ moments.

I'm not comparing who's has toxic/unhealthy behaviors.

I'm pointing out they all do. I will not mentioned EO or JW since it been discussed many times

SY - she's commenter favorite....hasn't really been called out on her toxic behaviors

-yelling/ screaming - not a good functional communication
- getting drunk & beating ppl up
- she beats up her ex while sober. (Her way/want or nothing at all - she is just as selfish as anyone else) . She did not seek to understand his reasoning for his female friends....ok sure...she's not ok with it. Not ok to force something upon someone. Then she accuse and stalks them.
-pretending (an escape)
-1 night stands
-obsessive

These are toxic behaviors & is not ok

Ri - being salty of a 7-8 years break up & cause issues to his new one. It happened a long time ago & that was petty/childish .
-Her game of calling him on her blind dates....to come rate them...

She has not been fully open/honest with her bf about her experiences


Cgj - clingy.....obsessive....very dependent on his gf. ( yup these 2 are diff. Related)

RY- lack functional communication
-avoidance ....actually he hasn't displayed anything too crazy yet.

EO -needs help/ therapy. She didn't handle it in the best way....but she did not do things to string him. It was not a back & forth relationship..they did not break up & get back together multiple times. There was no fights for the 100x. . The camera was nothing. He linger/ fixated regardless . JW coping skill isn't the best ..but is common. He is stucked in his stages of grief....ppl linger in different part of the stages.

Fighting & working out your feelings/ emotions is good for you. Don't be a shaken coke bottle ready to explode because it was bottled up

None of these characters is stuck there....they can have characters growth

I point those out...but it is not a judgment or criticism.

I said a thousand times. Call ppl out on their BS. Then provide tools and support.

I have always tell my clients what they did was not ok. Don't matter why....but here are tools to use and how you can do better next time. Also the word sorry hold less value when it is done again. The best apology is a changed behavior.

Human growth &development.....successful when ppl seek it...use the tools....but 1st is the acceptance & willingness to face the truth & fears

Sometimes you figure it out on your own....many times it is when ppl challenges you & push to....therapy can help push you...

Forced therapy doesn't work....the person needs to be mentally ready....

Which i hope the writers do.
