RIBB was such a good drama both times for me, even though I almosr dropped it the first time...
I was kind of frustrated with it the first time - I don't really know what I was expecting but I had only seen like fifteen or so K-dramas by that point so I might have had unrealistic expectations - but the second time I watched it I had seen over a hundred K-dramas and as many K-movies, and I was able to let go of any expectations and just enjoy it. And it is such a lovely story and the main couple has great chemistry.
Every once in a while I love a drama more the second time I watch it. I thought Romance Is A Bonus Book was just ok the first time I saw it, but upon rewatching I realized that I actually loved it and I saw a bunch of little details that I had missed the first time. Personally I think romances are easier to rewatch than mysteries or thrillers, for obvious reasons. :-)
This id so cool, I see several tittls there that are reoccuring here. Now I feel like I want to learn what makes…
Which are the ones that are reoccurring? I've seen Marriage Not Dating (which I rewatch a lot) and I'm curious which other titles you're seeing on here.
I rewatch my favorites over and over again, whenever I need a palette cleanser or to either feel happy or sad, depending on my mood. My favorites are easy to rewatch because I know what I'm going to feel like when I rewatch them, and that's reassuring. Here's my rewatch list: https://mydramalist.com/list/3rWV6ME4
Hope they do. Don't have to make everything like the West.
They’re not ALL like soft porn now, that’s a huge oversimplification and not actually accurate. And my original comment still stands, that other cultures might (gasp) want to show intimate scenes because they just want to and not because of your claim.

Because we’re the only ones who have sex, right?! (Btw, I thought the scene in SG was very unnecessary but other cultures have sex too and sometimes want to show that onscreen…like many, many K-movies I’ve seen.) The West is responsible for a lot, but isn’t at fault for *everything*
I have no idea where this is going, but I love it already!! It's *ridiculously* adorable, off-the-charts quirky, and darkly hilarious. I lost track of how many times I laughed out loud - loudly - during the first two episodes. The little details so far are the best, (specifics under a spoiler tag below), and the acting is not too much (for a manga-based drama) - not too little, but just right. I've seen all of the other dramas this is being compared to, (and I liked them all), but this isn't the same as any of them.
Hmm no. you are ignorant, "And to the people complaining for Africa, sensitivity isnt our trait. Stop being angry…
I hear you - lots of places in the world have extremely limited water supplies and electricity issues. In fact, in the US, where I am, there are many places without clean water and that have rolling blackouts - often. It's awful and unjust for lots of reasons (and all humans deserve to have clean water.) But the world's media doesn't portray all of the US like this, and make constant generalizations about how poor we are, and about how ALL of our country is a helpless mess steeped in "darkness" and in need of saviors from the rest of the world. It's not a one to one scenario, of course, because our different contexts have different needs and different root reasons for what's plaguing communities at any given time. But we here in the US get the benefit of the doubt even though we have many, many (many!) issues with water and power in some places (and climate change will make it worse in other places.) And the continent of Africa doesn't get the same benefit of the doubt in its treatment in our media here (although it's getting slightly better slowly) and I've seen this same perspective in K-dramas more than once or twice before. There are places a lot closer to where this particular character comes from than "Africa" that have significant issues with water (and resource exploitation from outsiders) but it seems to always be this same tired old storyline.
we're having an "issue" because the drama started off on a whole, "we're saving AFRICA (a continent) note with…
You say that you want to understand, but you say things like this last comment and it seems like you don't. Saying "maybe you should shut your mouth if you have to be so sensitive about every tiny little thing" is not a good start and not a good look. And saying "honestly there was nothing to take offense to in this" is also not a good start because if you actually read the comments here, from people actually from the region and who are actually impacted by these representations of themselves in the media, then you could learn something and start to see a new perspective. The fact that it isn't the first drama to "bring up the Africa thing" is EXACTLY one of the points here - it's brought up like this again and again and again, and folks are tired of it, for very good reasons. It has impact on people, even if you don't know why yet, or think it does.
Your profile says that you're 17 years old, and so it's understandable that you haven't had a chance yet to learn as much as you'll need to learn about the world, but this is your opportunity to start. You're allowed to have an opinion, sure, but it's an uninformed opinion, frankly, and people are going to call you on it. That's your cue to figure out more. I know a lot of folks your age, and they're all amazing - they're curious about the world and empathetic beyond what many of us were empowered to be at that age.
