DramaHeroine

I think people are drawing way too many conclusions about what the story is about and what the overall message is going to be before giving it a fair shake. So far, I'm enjoying it. The drama doesn't give the impression that you are supposed to dislike the female lead or think she's ugly. On the contrary, I think the writers want you to root for her and hope for her success and happiness. Which, for my part, I do.

I'm seeing a lot of people commenting here and elsewhere that they refuse to watch this, because they hate the plot and how it's 'fat shaming', etc. But guys, it just started. We don't know how it's going to end. The story might surprise you and have something actually kind of nice to say about the female lead rather than tear her down. Yes, some of the characters are mean to her, but some of them are very nice, including the male lead. It's unfortunately just the harsh reality of living in many Asian countries that if you don't fit into a very narrow beauty standard, especially if you are way outside of it, people aren't always nice to you. I'm perfectly okay with an Asian drama being honest about that as long as the Drama itself doesn't treat it's characters that way. And this drama doesn't. So maybe don't give up on the story so fast?

Actually, it's fairly common for some people to be able to speak multiple languages. It's called being a polyglot. So it's really not an unusual addition to his character. As for the lying thing, that's also just another facet of his character. He has strong moral fiber and believes lying is wrong, so he doesn't do it.

Second seasons are rare in Kdrama's. If you count the number of shows that have received a second season in the last five years, I don't think it reaches even ten. Compare that to the number of Kdrama's that have actually been made over the last five years. It's a pretty big difference. With those numbers, I've found it best to assume it won't happen so that I'm pleasantly surprised if it does rather than really disappointed when it doesn't. Also, no offense to the show, because it's good, but I don't know that it's quite good enough to warrant a second season. The only thing that would really work in it's favor is if it has a massive audience following. I haven't seen any evidence of that yet. Of course, I could be totally wrong and there are plans for a second season already. I'm just not getting too excited about that yet.

Girl, I feel these feels. Don't set up a romance and then just...leave it hanging at the end. I ain't about that life. Unfortunately, I really doubt this will get a second season, even if it is a YouTube drama.

I wish they hadn't left the ending quite how they did. Everything was perfectly laid out. Except for that one, really major piece. I don't expect this to get a second season (although I'd watch the fool out of that), so I'm just left disappointed by what was one of the most important parts of the story for me being left hanging. Of course, I thoroughly loved everything about this drama, so I'm going to be giving it a good score in my review, but I'm also salty.

Not surprised by this, honestly. I know people were really worried about where they were going to watch Chinese dramas now that Dramafever is gone, but Chinese entertainment companies are hungry for the western market (at least they certainly seem to be to me), so I knew they'd find a way to get their dramas in front of our eyes. Glad there's a company stepping up to fill in the gap.

Super excited about this feature and already started using it. Not that I need help finding dramas I want to watch, lol.

Yeah. I heard the story fell apart in the last couple episodes, so I'm glad I dropped when I did.

It's makes me very sad that no one but me appears to have watched this movie.

That drama really frustrated me. I loved the premise, the leads had insanely good chemistry with each other, and I wanted them together, but the logic around her powers wasn't properly laid out, and he was a little too controlling for my tastes, so I dropped it 3 or 4 eps before the end.

I'm literally writing a review right now after I decided not to finish the movie with 30 minutes left, because I truly hate it. The whole back and forth, back and forth, back and forth makes me want to burst my own eardrums, and the way they ruined the really fascinating premise of a Heroine who's not actually the heroine of the story she thinks she is just....uuurrrrgggghhhh.They also ruined pretty much every character, Especially Adachi, and I ended up disliking all of them. (Although the second male lead is pretty much a cardboard cutout of every bad boy character ever, so they couldn't really ruin him cause he was bland to begin with.) Now that I know how it actually ends, I'm really glad I didn't finish it, because this movie is dumb.

Just remembered the other day that I still have a couple eps to go on Go Back Couple, which I was watching on Dramafever. THIS IS THE WORST!!!!!

Part of me wonders if this would have happened if the creators hadn’t sold it to someone else to begin with. Maybe we wouldn’t be in this situation now.

They’ve now shut down at least three niche streaming sites. And Crunchyroll and Funimation ended their deal with each other just recently. I think Crunchyroll will be shutting down pretty soon as well. Guess that means I need to go marathon some stuff real quick.

I just can't understand this. Was this decision made by the people from Dramafever itself or by the people from Warner Media/AT&T? Because if it was the people at Dramafever, I'm severely disappointed in them. That wasn't a smart move.

The website says everyone will be refunded, and it does look like people are starting to get refunds, but I'm still kind of cautious about it. If they're willing to shut the whole site down without notice to anyone, would AT&T really be above stiffing it's customers their money? I don't know.

A couple sites have said they plan on getting some of the licenses. I think Viki has said they plan to acquire some, and OnDemandKorea has an entire ad campaign featuring only pictures of the Dramafever exclusives saying something like 'New fully subbed dramas coming soon!' I don't know that I feel particularly optimistic about any of that, but at least it's something? As far as subbing goes, I don't use any of the illegal sites almost at all so this could be totally wrong, but from what I understand, a lot of them just steal the subs from Dramafever, so now they have nowhere to get the subs from.

I'm not personally worried about Chinese dramas, at least for those of us in Canada and the US and some European countries. I think China wants the western market enough to find a way to get their dramas in front of our eyes. I wouldn't be surprised if we started seeing their dramas showing up on Netflix or similar places. Of course, I could be totally wrong about that.

I'm definitely pretty upset about the Japanese dramas thing. The advertisements made it seem like we were going to start really getting more Japanese dramas, something I've been wanting for ages now, and now that's dead in the water.

Thanks AT&T!!!!!!

No. Dramafever is owned by AT&T, and AT&T has already announced they are opening their own streaming service at some point. That's most likely the reason behind shutting Dramafever down. Any streaming service they currently own, no matter how small/niche, would be competition and take away money from building their new platform.

What makes this all very confusing is that there's no way to know if it was the people at Dramafever itself who turned the deal down or the higher ups at Warner Media/AT&T. If it was the people at Dramafever itself, then color me surprised, because I would have expected them to jump as such a deal.
