you didn’t quite understand me. comparing light dramas like good day to be a dog or bon appetit your majesty isn’t very accurate, since that’s not full-fledged fantasy. i mean complex, well-built worlds, different creatures, a system of rules - everything, not just turning into a dog or time-traveling without any explanation.
i've watched almost all korean fantasy dramas, including the ones you mentioned, so i can say this with confidence. there are a few exceptions that i genuinely liked, but overall the trend is just like i described

i've noticed that koreans struggle with creating well-thought-out fantasy (not just the usual time-travel stories), but i'm still glad they’re trying. i don't think i'm as disappointed as others. i liked the intro, the graphics, the coloring, and overall their take on the story was interesting. but the directing and the script leave much to be desired. i wish they focused more on the plot instead of empty moments that don't matter to the story, and the writing itself felt flat.

so many cliches ugh

yesss. you just said exactly what i’ve been thinking since the very beginning of this drama’s release :)

i expected a hardcore fantasy drama, but instead i got retired angels. no matter how much i want to justify this drama, it really is weak

this year, lee dong wook is a good guy in dramas hehe. but both dramas failed in ratings…
still, I want to praise this drama for its unusual approach. i thought i would finish it just because of dong wook, but this drama actually grabbed me. it stands out with its directing and a script that’s different from the typical k-dramas, which i really appreciate

i need a rating 😤

you could have praised this drama without that fan-like manipulation..

damn, how did this toxic trope become so popular… why do people get all hot and bothered over it…

it would’ve been better if this was just a silly comedy about keeping animals in a zoo than this boring crap

ugh, what a disappointment this drama is… i expected way too much from it

such a cool concept, but such weak execution. they ruined it further with this sappy romance that doesn’t fit, and constant running around instead of properly developing the plot.

the first thai drama that clicked with me. this is a win.

you can see how Park Chan Wook has grown. this film was a failure for me, whereas The Handmaiden is a masterpiece. there are similarities between these works, but The Handmaiden has a much stronger script and direction.

I was almost sickened. I’ll be avoiding any work by this writer and director.

god, this is complete nonsense. how could anyone write this? they treat the audience like fools — it’s total disrespect. if you want to create hype and make money, at least do it properly.

i don't really care about the reviews here. i doubt people judged it constructively if they even gave the actors 1 star.. i'll definitely watch it once it's available in my country.

is it really that terrible if all the reviews are one star? 😭😭😭😭

taiwan is not china, it has a different culture, different laws, and more freedom in films. this country is the most progressive in views and topics that asian countries usually stay silent about.

(writing this while crying)
it hurts so much to watch this drama. it’s so sad to realize there are people who really go through this. if you’re here, know that you are incredibly strong, i admire you ❤️‍🩹
i keep being amazed at how open taiwanese people are in their views. they are not afraid to speak directly about society’s problems, about pain, about topics that are usually kept silent. in many dramas similar plots are reduced to revenge or just skipped over, shown as something minor, without depth. but here it’s different. here they show honestly and without embellishment how violence breaks a person, how it stays with them for life, how society turns away or pretends nothing happened.
it makes me terribly sad, but at the same time i’m grateful there are such dramas that are not afraid to show the truth.
