Remarkable for a lakorn, there are real kisses. Once the shock of watching a lakorn with skinship passes, it's somewhat unexciting and not even the very beautiful actors can energize this.

The best thing about it is the subbers who've made it available for us to watch. I love me some lakorn subbers.

I watched Goblin at Dramafever. I can remember hitting the refresh screen every 5 minutes, waiting for the new episode to drop.

I'm trying to be optimistic about this. Maybe this creates a new opportunity for a different company or something. But I'm so sad.

We have to have a discussion about why a romantic relationship between a boy whose balls only dropped yesterday and a 25 year old woman is whacked, even if sex isn't involved until he's of legal age?

Seriously?

The age gap is, in fact, a crime itself.

If a sexual relationship occurred between individuals of any gender who were 14 and 25, respectively, and the 25 year old was caught, prosecuted, and convicted, the 25 year old would a) do prison time and b) be placed on a sex offender registry.

The "community" is legit "freaking out".

He's 14 and she's 25 when the drama starts? That's not an age gap. It's a crime.

subs at Amazon Prime aren't automatic. You may not have them turned on. There's a setting for them at the top right of the Amazon player . I'm watching from Prime in the US.

Aw. It could have been so good.
But no.

After I've watched a hundred hours of Cdramas (hey, not that hard to do--that's basically 2 shows!) and all their incumbent silliness, Kdramas and their brand of nonsense starts to look reasonable to me.

I hate when the characters talk to themselves. Out loud. Who does that?

I hate that there are sleep scenes, and the lights are on. On both sides of the bed. Don't Kdramas have lighting directors who know how to provide set lighting AND have the bedroom lights at least look like they're off? And do they not wear sleep clothes in S Korea? People go to bed wearing sweaters and zippers? And you can't get a pillow case in S Korea that doesn't look like it could double as sand paper? Do S Koreans accept such a big level of discomfort when they sleep--because why?

I hate when one of the characters is standing in the road and sees a car or truck coming for them, and gets hit, when they have more than enough time to get out of the way.

What I hate most of all is how these all sort of indicate a lack of respect for the intelligence of the viewer.

Ffs. Another Cdrama where the FL starts by being strong, confident and assertive, but her brain turns into goo because of a crush.

First, you have to suffer through the scheming and manipulation of a secondary woman character Qingqing, who is so annoying and cringe inducing, you'd like nothing better than to drop her down an open manhole. (Seriously. Every time she's on screen, you want to fast forward while you're praying earnestly that the writers are reading comments and finally get rid of her. And then the drama gods hear you, and she's gone.)

And then what happens is the FL, Manman ("Manny", I kid you not) gets another shot at her youthful crush from 13 years previous, and so the writers make the FL just as cringe inducing as Qingqing., so it's like Qingqing never left and you feel like screaming.

And don't get me started on the ML, whose main qualities seem to be handsomeness and a sense of self-abnegation so strong that any of the women characters could have sex on a table right in front of him and he'd run to get them a bottle of water. Ugh.

All of these characters are more rage inducing than romantic or comedic.

Another Cdrama that makes me want to pound the crap out of the writers.

This drama isn't for everyone. But people who like it, like it a lot. This drama was a game changer for me, and I spent at least two years trying to find and watch dramas that gave me similar feels. Some came a little close, but that's all.

There are better kdramas, and I've seen them and liked them, but "Secret" is and will probably always be my #1 drama fav.

I think translators who do this work as volunteers should be bronzed. You literally add to the quality of my life, and I can't tell you how truly grateful I am for your work.

Without a doubt, this is hall of fame annoying drama. I mean, I like a bit of kink as much as the next person, but this is not good kink. This is just stammering, stupidly weak female lead paired with a male lead so bent, you want to back over him with your car. Twice.

I'm the wrong woman to watch this.

Watch this at Amazon Prime (if you're in the US, anyway). This is a light, lovely comedy. The dialogue is snappy (the bickering between the FL and ML is a treat. Even when the leads don't like each other, the bickering is respectful rather than vicious and tending toward affectionate.) The plotting is standard Cdrama fare. This is a really good drama to use for plugging drama holes--something you're watching while your waiting for another drama to finish so you can binge it, or to watch if you've got some time to kill and don't want to start something heavy for now.

I lost count of the number of times that Wei Young was framed. Was it 4 times? Six? It was too many times. It really became tiresome as a plot device. Also, for there to be so many romance threads in the drama, there was almost no skinship. What a bore. Plus, it's pretty hard to like the ending. Best watched with your finger firmly on the ff button.

the romance between the female and male leads ("epic") just bores the snot out of me, but since Vaness Wu is the 2nd ml and he's "evil", I'm watching it. Because apparently, that's what I do, watch things with Vaness Wu.

So probably, this won't be subbed, or, if it is, it'll be subbed but it will be difficult to access it. I'm not familiar with the details of this, but I've read vaguely that there is one troll, possibly two, who have been ripping off the work of our most prominent and necessary subbers--and said troll(s) have ruined it for all of us. I could not be more pissed about this if I tried.

.What an entertaining article! You made we want to watch all of these shows,

I don't think I've seen this in dramas from the Middle East or Thailand. Yet. Everywhere else, I have. I'm beginning to think they're required now. Finding them a bit tiresome though, tbh.

I think we'd like going to the movies together. Except we seem to really like the same things, so what would we talk about after the movie :-)
