Dont worry, the foreigners took over asian dramas... chinese short verticals are 8 billion dollars industry with…
Most entertainment isn't made for altruistic purposes and funding is available because they believe it can be profitable.
It not about Western or Eastern art in this century, Patrons were not angels who simply gave money because they loved "art".
If you examine the top twenty grossing films from 1980-2025, popular TV series the same formula applies, return on investment.
Quality isn't relevant, ridiculous storylines, poorly edited, acted money makers are in the top ten.
You don't have to like pineapple on your pizza, enough people do that makes it an option for purchase. The market decides what to produce and end. They pump out sequels to extract everything from the market.
The bulk of East and Western media isn't about producing the best product, its about what makes money for the investors.
regarding ep 8 preview i like how the FL clear thing with the 2ML that she is in love with the ML but as usually…
Mature adults understand interpersonal relationships are complex and not resolved because one party draws the line, rejects their confession. (Reality)
Viewers were shown FL was devasted by her seeing her two friends (kissing) in the beginning, has a misunderstanding thinking they are dating.
The FL has a one night stand which is out of character for her and not the norm in Korean rom-coms.
Tropes
Anyone But You (2023) Third wheel for both leads.
Business Proposal (2022), 2ML having an interest in the FL (never confessed) but acts inappropriately with FL and his on and off again girlfriend.
Blind dates trigger FL in Business Proposal and Positively Yours to confess to the ML.
Third wheel/misunderstanding (communication) trope are common.
This drama is good except for the second couple. The guy literally told her to cheat on her boyfriend to end the…
Nope, the relationship ran its course and ended. The idiot brother didn't want to marry, he stated he's reluctantly going to marry her because she wanted it.
The manager suggested cheating (thinking he cheated) is a red line for couples to not cross, forgive. He didn't know the reason for the break up.
Idiot brother posted on IG going to Spain.
She took a gig to work overseas.
The wedding was called off, she had her one night stand afterwards to give her closure.
The manager suggested she was sad (pathetic) wasn't being honest and still held on to her relationship. She kissed him to shut him up.
Don't trust others that have consumed everything in one sitting, can you sit through ten hours and remain objective?
Both leads are executing their role as expected. ML Ju Ho Jin -Kim Seon Ho (Hometown Cha Cha Cha) fixer is slowly falling for the FL again. FL Cha Mu Hui - Go Youn Jung (Alchemy of Souls Season 2, you are inexplicably drawn to her even when she does cringe worthy behaviour.
Paused on episode eight, giving time to digest the first half.
Romance and comedy are on point, SML/SFL doing their own thing has been entertaining.
Tropes, cliches are being handled brilliantly.
Capturing Canadian tourist attractions can be hit and miss. Maple trees, Autumn colours on point. Rocky Mtns. Northern Lights, Jasper/Banff (Emerald Lake) Goblin did a good job in Quebec.
Hollywood, Kdrama are predictable, cliches, riddled with scenes that are inconceivable.LOTR, Rambo, Mission Impossible:…
I didn't argue the script and editing was coherent . These are slightly above the Hallmark Channel in production. I expect for most people, this is simply an escape from reality and we don't get into the weeds for realism.
Garbage. Remove romance from the genre immediately. There's absolutely none at all except for one kiss in the…
At close range, their is no pause, you shoot b/c it broke your personal space (imminent danger) but Hollywood, Kdramas are not based upon realistic outcomes. Absurdities, inconceivable are the norms in make believe.
Wait I hope the child first love of FL isn't ML because it would be weird, she only saw him once and he was crying…
Are you knew to Kdramas? This is their formula Queen of Tears, Sixth Sense, Castaway Diva, Destined With You, Its Okay to Not Be Okay, Just Between Lovers, What's Wrong With Secretary Kim.... to list a few.
I like his ways of solving problems :) Like in Lawsless Lawyer... if you cannot win in the ring, make sure you…
These are unrealistic: a celebrity, wealthy person can be tried in the courts, public opinion and lose support/wealth. (Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard) It takes time.
Justin Baldoni vs Ryan Reynolds/Blake Lively. * Unfolding.
The lawyer correctly understood, moving Chess pieces (allies) backing the CEO instead of a frontal assault, relying on Judiciary, Law enforcement alone. The CEO outsmarted them before with his ex-wife, nanny already.
The shady investors kidnapped him, broke him to make him docile in the Court. The investors were ripped off by the CEO and secured their money before handing him over to face Justice for the child abuse, fraud.
While I completely see where you're coming from, and agree to a certain extent, it still doesn't justify a hatred…
Entertainment industry don't make realistic dramas. Re read the post about their lens growing up in a dysfunctional family. Both of them had very jaded views of others in general.
He was drawn to her strange behaviour, this pattern is used most dramas.
The dating era was compressed, fabricated because of the gay scandal.
They didn't have time, we see he's consumed by her visiting her at all times when they start dating.
Almost immediately, another scandal breaks of her being a bully forcing her to publicly reject his proposal and break up in order to protect him.
There's almost no time in the romcom to a normal life.
He's a recluse, he doesn't go to parties or date.
His only friend is the President of the Talent agency.
Polite, social etiquette isn't trolling actors on their fan sites, you're simply not comfortable with accountability.
A male cannot use the term "eye candy" when talking about the opposite sex without being criticised?
Are you uncomfortable with having that argument being applied to you?
Age appropriate attractiveness is fair comment only against males when referring to females?
The Epstein analogy is fair comment, because they exploited children.

No one cares if you don't like these actors or think its normal to stalk a child actor because they're "eye candy".
Go touch grass and find something else to do away from a Fan Site.
Have you been to Epstein's Island?

The manager picked up the phone and made a mistake thinking her fiancé cheated on her.
She lied about the wedding being delayed, the relationship had ended and his suggestion cheating made it impossible to reconcile.
Back in Korea, she's working late nights, he chides her after she's clubbing and suggests she's not over him.
She crossed the Rubicon, one night stand so he ex couldn't come back.
The manager was interested in a casual hook up, it was the beginning of their relationship for him.
She went upstairs to his old Apartment (manager) and met a female thinking the manager is a two timer. Hilarious misunderstanding.
The manager suggested cheating (thinking he cheated) is a red line for couples to not cross, forgive. He didn't know the reason for the break up.

Can you sit through ten hours in one sitting of anything, remain objective?
If you enjoy the acting of the leads, you won't be disappointed.
Cast and crew have done a great job in the first eight episodes of Can This Love Be Translated?"
Paused on the Italy trip, will revisit and expect more of the same tropes, clichés.
Both leads are executing their role as expected. ML Ju Ho Jin -Kim Seon Ho (Hometown Cha Cha Cha) fixer is slowly falling for the FL again. FL Cha Mu Hui - Go Youn Jung (Alchemy of Souls Season 2, you are inexplicably drawn to her even when she does cringe worthy behaviour.

These award shows have always been rigged.
These are highly subjective, non transparent events that are funded to boost a studio, artist, manufacturer, organization etc.
It doesn't matter if we weigh in on the nomination or results.
Why don't you ask for a Unicorn for Christmas next year?
Advertising, Vehicle, Music awards are rigged too!
Acknowledging that, you wouldn't expect change, accept reality.💰🏆
Should Award shows ask for you opinion next year?
Or we can admit they were never neutral observers that were heavily influenced by Studio's, deep pocketed influencers all along?
LOTR, Rambo, Mission Impossible: overhearing critical information at a cafe, restaurant at the precise moment to propel the story.
You have to suspend critical thinking skills in order to submerse yourself in the made up story.
You can watch a documentary, sporting event, paint dry if believing in Santa Claus is too much.
A brief respite from reality with, a good book, film, tv show is acceptable.
Absurdities, inconceivable are the norms in make believe.
Queen of Tears, Sixth Sense, Castaway Diva, Destined With You, Its Okay to Not Be Okay, Just Between Lovers, What's Wrong With Secretary Kim.... to list a few.
Too much starch in your panties? Romance isn't defined as two people having intimacy ONLY.
Stop watching the Hallmark channel.
