I totally understand your point.
This year I've resolved to drop more series, but it's a decision I have to make when I've only watched a few episodes, because once I get past a certain number I think, "Well, I'm here now, I'll finish it." So far this year I've dropped the Chinese series Glory after five episodes. I didn't want to watch any more and then not be able to drop it 😅

Your comment sounds so relatable to me! I have the same problem as you with dropping shows. I'm learning, though.

1. They get together around the episode 47.
2. There is a break up of the second couple, even though they still loved each other. Family issues. It lasts several episodes.
3. The ending is half happy half sad. Last minute happy ending.

The Director's Cut :)

A negative opinion is also a valid opinion.

I wouldn't say 7.9 is bad. But I think it should be higher. The series, in the parody/rom-com/isekai genre, is actually good. It's working better for me than LBL.

I felt the same way. The ending is very disappointing because they suddenly lost contact, and when they reunite, they treat each other coldly. What a bad ending for what was my favorite couple.

I'm watching My page in the 90s. Six episodes so far. I like that series more than LBL but the concepts are totally different. My page in the 90s makes fun of the tropes that LBL is full of 😅

I highly recommend You are my secret. The couple are together from the beginning.

I don't think it's generic at all. The fact this is a parody changes everything. The cliches are here but the parody factor make them funnier. But some people could think "they are making fun of my favorite dramas!" and don't like it. Like A dream within a dream (which I loved).

This is a parody of rom-coms so far (I have watched six episodes). So all the tropes are here, but it's very funny because they are making fun of the tropes. I like this kind of series because they express my feelings about some things that annoy me in other dramas.
It's totally different from LBL (that series had the tropes but taking them seriously).

Swords into plowshares has just started. I want to watch it.

But ADWAD got higher rating on Douban (7.1 now). So some people appreciated the comic side.

Lol. That makes a lot of sense.

Not so many people appreciates good comedies. Imo A dream within a dream has a much better script than Prisoner of Beauty, but their ratings are 8.4 and 8.9 here 🤷🏻‍♀️

The rating on MDL doesn't mean a show is better than the other, only which shows were more crowd-pleasers.

It's good. I would give it a high rating but I always rate once I have finished a series. Probably some poeple who dropped it are rating it low. But the series is good.

I found it very entertaining, and it had some very well-done suspenseful scenes. Hyun Bin gave what I consider his best performance. I didn't watch it when it aired; I binged it a few years later and enjoyed it, although the ending did leave me somewhat disappointed.

I largely prefer MOA, though (even with that end 🫣).

It's funny, I never felt like they became friends. It seemed to me that they fell in love very quickly, but due to circumstances, they didn't confess their feelings right away. I definitely wouldn't call this a "friends to lovers" story, like in series such as the Korean drama My Unfamiliar Family or the recent Chinese series Why Is He Still Single? (highly recommend both).
