Could you link me their profile or one of their reviews? Kate is not exactly a unique name tho 🤣🤣
Thanks for explaining. Since the display name is what you see when reading reviews and the one you know your favourite reviewers by, I think it's crazy that this forum allows duplicates. But it's not going to change. :-(

Profile at https://mydramalist.com/profile/kate127. He(?) has left a review of "Dare You To Death". The profile photo looks like a gentleman, which made me wonder if this was a deliberate attempt to steal your name. I'm surprised that it's possible for two users to choose the same account name: it may be a programming error that two names identical apart from case can coexist. Whatever the reason, I think it a bad idea. It's a kind of identity theft.
Sorry to put this here in a random place. I've just noticed that another reviewer has usurped your name (with a lowercase k). That seems like something that shouldn't be allowed, especially since your reviews are immendsely valuable and his are not.
You don't need to defend yourself against the fan army. The whole point of MyDramaList is to publish reviews from ALL viewers of Asian dramas. The more varied the reviewers and their opinions (favourable or otherwise), the more valuable a resource it becomes. Adults in the room are especially welcome, so don't be deterred by the tantrums of the juveniles.
I like your reviews but I find all this talk of "red flags" to be an irrelevant imposition of fashionable Western ideology on a foreign culture with different values. It's also inconsistent: people who fuss over sexual peccadillos they disapprove of calmly watch murder, torture and violence in a series like KinnPorsche without a murmur.
You can watch this (as well as the prequel) on Youtube on the channel https://www.youtube.com/@kaiblxhhofficial in the form of four videos each containing 10 eps. The English subtitles are amateurish but fairly complete.
bob, by any chance could you share where you watched it? it seems to have been deleted from YouTube ðŸ˜
Have a look at https://youtu.be/9Of2lGTZsbg I think it's the same thing, although it's twice as long as the 48 minutes you'd expect from the information here on MDL.
I watched first 10 episodes on Youtube and found it very unsatisfying, not because of the credits and end titles every two minutes but because no scene or song ever lasts longer than two minutes (actually, somewhat less). That's a huge limitation for a work lasting 80 minutes, and for me a fatal one. I also don't really want to watch a 80-minute drama with only two characters, however cute one of them may be.
If you search MDL for "Happy Ending" you'll find six dramas with that title. So clearly most people don't think of the slang meaning. When someone mentions "Gone with the Wind" do you immediately think of flatulence? The subtitles should not just have been better timed. They should have been better written. The translator wrecks tender and serious moments by throwing in vulgar slang. Has no idea about English speech registers. This drama deserved better.
