Hate it when ppl say it has to be "realistic with rules" and order even though its theme could exist in sci-fi, fantasy, and/or supernatural world. Stories don't need to have rules and lore to be considered proper or to be successful. And I'ma say it again. It's a ghost story AND Kdrama. Expecting a realistic law and order drama is laughable when it's main theme is a body hopping ghost gag gotta catch them all team up and by some recent comments, they're peeps expecting just that~ Lol......this CLEARLY wasn't made to win awards. I knew heading into this not to expect any more than a 7 as peak~ Do I like? Ehh......no comment. Another man's trash is another man's treasure or something like that. Case in point.............my wife is a cardiologist and surgeon, and lives in a medical world that's almost the very definition of law, logic, and order. And I already know she likes this due to the very absence of those things others say are needed to be 'good'. To each their own. Go figure~
Lol......... definitely called the creepiness and the subtle but unmistakable intent of sml to pursue this girl from the start. Maybe not exactly grooming......but the romantic interest was there. Age gaps are a curious thing. Everyone has a different # deemed acceptable drama wise and IRL. Even amongst actors and co-stars playing roles ppl get psycho over..........let's save that for another time. Knew that she was going to show up unannounced and was not surprised at all~ MLs willingness to pick up where things left off was abit surprising.........but when the 20 question game started it was clear he hadn't changed~ Not breaking up in person means it wasn't done (oh really?) and there was no contact in between the years.......🤨Ehhh........this felt like an extended bout of ghost lighting. Her train of thought is something else. Flighty as f'k. (Excuse da language 😅) While this dude continues true to form and puts anything and everything when it comes to this girl above himself. It puts heavy emphasis on the fact that they're definitely yin and yang in some areas~ Last thing is I've got some qualms with performance. MLs got a lot of experience playing as a high schooler but can flip the switch and play adult characters properly. FL, the high school bits were fine. But I see no difference between characters after the long time skip. It's like he's grown up but she hasn't, that's best way I can describe it. Idk if I've seen her in anything else, so I can't get a feel as to whether it's the character or the actress? The way she's broken up with the sml has me thinking it's the character that's still immature? Argggh, anyone else get what I'm saying or can say it better? Lol In any case, the dramas been ok enough to know I won't drop.
Guys , Gals. Gals, Guys. Guys and Gals. Gals and Guys!! ITS ALMOST HERE!!!! 🤩 I'ma wait one more week. Then I'ma recap and refresh season 1 with the wife. And I fully expect season 2 to 'rain' supreme! Get it?!! Rain, reign!!! Bwhahahahaha!! No seriously though. Rains looking like he could go shoot another couple of Ninja films. I can't wait.......
Naaaaw. Attach no meaning to the ending. That's deliberate on the writers part. Too conspicuous. Just gonna double down on all them dummies being completely besotted and eager to please. Anything to keep her attention on them while discrediting the others~ The women closest to each of the suitors are well aware of this which is why they all hate her~ Each dude also has a different perception of her, something she's aware of and leans into. She's got a different aura around them~ So with the info we been privy too up to this point, everyone is still suspect, all theories are still valid, and we've no choice but to wait~
Ok........ 1 ~ WE knew that she knew that he was across in the complex before it was pointed out. That smirk said it all~
2 ~ Siren mode had been activated ages ago the minute he found out she received no payouts or claims and still decided to poke around her life. She already owned him and keeps getting pulled further and further into the song she's singing. I've never liked a particular trope at Kdramas use frequently. They will have the ML/FL follow one another around and watch them all the time and learn their routines, all that stuff, and depict it as a lovey dovey I must know everything about you love stricken cutesy act to show interest. Ehhh. No. That shite needs to be wiped out completely and should have been ages ago. That's not cute. That's f'n stalking and it's a HUGE problem in EU for women and children that keeps getting worse. I really don't like them using it for romance when this is what monsters are doing IRL to carry out SA's~
3 ~ ML is a stalker and a creep as alluded to from point 2. Already didn't like him getting involved when it had nothing to do with him, I double down on that now because of the records he found at the end. Those records are from 15+ yrs ago and has no bearing with the deaths of those 3 other guys. Pretty invasive and I'm always going to point that out because again, it's had nothing to do with him from the start. Know what I'm saying? Lol. He isn't being led by logic, it's something considerably lower that keeps pointing at her 24/7~
4 ~ The lady who was lecturing ML about being sympathetic and understanding towards FL because of the recent mishaps is correct. He's completely compromised~
5 ~ The sister who dropped the vase os a rude little (excuse the language 😅) bitch who is completely out of line. She's got hangups and a clear dislike of the FL and that's fine. But she's turning it personal and bringing it to the workplace. There's no excuse. You don't act out at work. The fact that she's got the job she currently has because of FL made her outburst that much worse. FL won't term her because of the relationship they both share with the photographer guy and and the little girl knows that~ Last thing is iffy. Near the end of the episode where the leads kiss in front of the rich guy for the 'charade'. She's fully aware they both like her. Anyone think she's pitting them up against each other? And let's not forget about her close friend too, that one likes her but is in the FZ~
It is not about fiction and doctor ethics and possibilities for me at all. Then the story of Frankenstein (1818)…
In theory or on paper, it's unusual and definitely unique. That's something that is getting harder to find as writers churn out drama after drama trying to fill the need we addicts have for moar!! 🤩 Science fiction, fantasy, supernatural etc.......I tend to have tastes for things outside the box. Fiction is fiction, it's just for entertainment and I get it. But my wife is definitely more grounded. Have you ever seen or heard of the X-Files from back in the day? The premise was based on a pair of FBI agents with vastly different mindsets, one wanted to prove the existence of aliens and stuff while the other one was focused on debunking theories. The partners in that series, both ideologies eventually started to wear on each others beliefs. I can't think of a better description for me and my wife~ I would have been all over this back in the day w/o a 2nd thought. But I've been ruined 😮💨She just hit me for saying that 😆 Anyways........we watched a few minutes and I know we're supposed to give these things a chance. We just can't do it. Science is too deeply ingrained in her and some of that's rubbed off on me. For me, it's the lack of star power right off the bat. There's a couple of familiar faces but no one I have enough interest in to watch~ So she's not going to give it a 2nd thought and I'll look at comments in a couple weeks to see if it's watchable. Right now, everyone is slamming it~
Hmm.....Mouse anyone? That was just a piece though, that's what made the drama believable and believable makes for a good story~ SK writers have a couple talents that are virtually unmatched when compared to the rest. A small supernatural touch here, a sliver of fantasy there, a shred of mysticism etc........they can take something along these lines and spin a masterclass story around it with such skill to where you can picture and believe it could happen IRL. Or that it's actually happening now and the drama is pulling back the veil to show you. They're special~
(Excuse my language) This shite right here is downright f'n impossible and completely unbelievable even for a Kdrama. Yes I know its fiction. Yes I know we have to allow for some leeway at times but this is ridiculous. You wanna take that brain and become the next RoboCop. Sure, I could see it happen. I can picture its possible. You wanna toss your brain into the incinerator and put the other one into a shell that was just vacated? GTFO. You've gotta be able to at least ground something small in reality to have a small element of belief from the viewer~ My wife is a cardiologist and surgeon who loves to destroy and rip medical dramas. Most of them do. Why? She says when it's not factually correct, doctors think your insulting their profession. That you don't respect their individual field of practice enough to get things right. She's not a neurosurgeon but she says a number of factors still apply and it's impossible. So there's no story you could ever tell to make believe otherwise~ 10 minutes in and I was already thinking wtf. Run away chat......Run away as far as you can........... she's gonna try again later, I'm a no go for now unless she and/or the feedback here later can pull me back~
It's a drama with ghosts.....Exactly how much IRL by the book proper sense were you expecting to see when it's…
Ohhhh.........you're feeling like 🤨ya? Oof, dun even get me started medical scenes and dramas. My wife is a cardiologist and surgeon. We watch Kdramas, it's like.....one of our things ya know? It's actually how we met, outside of work I mean. She was my doctor. 😁 We watch them whenever we can. Med dramas she RIPS them apart. She HATES the inaccuracies in them. There was a couple in our early days that were so bad I banned her from the bedroom. No lie. Not anymore of course, used to it. So I DO understand what your saying. 😂 Idk though, when I first got started, I use to ask questions too. Things didn't make sense. Things didn't add up. Logic is and was thrown out the window. But as a newbie, ppl kind of just shot me down when I pointed things out. Was told Kdrama logic has its own universe and is in a class of its own. Deal with it. You're correct, you can't throw all the rules of logic and science completely out. If a writers does decides to go with shenanigans and whatnot throughout portions or the entirety of the drama, it has to be established early. That way they don't have to explain anything. I think that's the route this dramas going to take and the ghostly theme is what they're using or going to use to get away with it. That make any sense?
I've watched and learned a lot since then and I've also got a wife that gives different takes and interpretations when we don't agree and that's a huge plus. If a piece is so broken near the end w/o having done these little ground rules and all, I now know what the issue is and what to call it. Bad Writing~😂 This is 16 eps ya? Whew. Netflix does like to have these long ones. l wonder if COVID has anything to do with it? World was on lockdown for a loooong time and 16 was the norm. You see they been going away from it lately. And I am rambling and I am sorry but ya lol. I think Ghost theme is going to be used to justify doing w/e they want w/ no fallout. Smart move actually~
Ahhh......... remember now, you flat out said you didn't like FL at all in Witch when we were watching Our Universe.…
Whew.....ok. Every piece listed before the Defects I didn't like and/or dropped. I think a lot of folks were curious about that drama though for the reason you said. It wasn't good but I finished it just for that 'bad peeps got what they deserved' satisfaction~Witch I kinda liked because of the....how do I put it.......mystic weirdness that was its theme. Was it great? Not really. But compared to Crushology? That trash was so bad it made Witch look like masterpiece. The cringe......😖😖 I have theory though......I think we all reach a point where we feel like we've seen everything. When we get there, I've noticed that ppl, myself included, tend to be harsh on new dramas that fit categories we think we've seen a million times. The more we watch, the meaner we get. That's not really fair I know.....but it's tough, I think we're just hungry for new things and that's why we slam the new stuff. S-Line was unique and fit that category for me. ML hadn't been seen in anything for awhile and I like him a lot. Those reasons were why I watched it, I found different but ya, it was mediocre~ Twelve....... 😣. There was too many stars and supporting cast members to turn away from it. Couldn't help it. Yes, it was bad~ Confidence Queen......I remember that was where ppl started pointing out how.......ehh.....let's say slender, she was getting. It was ok but all the 10's it was getting was completely beyond me. Was like you, why was it a 10? 🤨 Cuz it wasn't. I challked it up to her super fans~ Would You Marry Me?.......For rom coms, you don't get much more vanilla then that~ Never saw Burning Hearts~ Dr Shin. HELL no. Synopsis and first 5 minutes was enough for me to run away screaming. Oh! There's not one single actor in its cast I want to see~ Pearl in Red, thats like a daily soap opera ya? Don't watch those period~ Genie........got me there. I liked it. Suzy's character was a mix of Wednesday Addams and SeoYeaJi's KMY from the drama It's ok to not be ok (IOTNBO). That drama is up high on my personal favs and I adore SYJ. She's like one of my queens 😍and I miss her. Canceled over some bs 🤬😤. Anyways....😮💨 watching those 2 personas come to life on Genie? I was done, I wasn't going anywhere and binged it immediately~ Unwritten Seoul was ok for me. PBY I like alot too. That's who I was there for, this dude being in it was just an added bonus
Said two eps per case ya? Is it just those or are they going to be slowly fighting to take down a villain or a villanous corporation throughout the entirety of the drama? I get the feeling that it's going to be the latter because of that dude FL works for. Then we'll see the team up~
Really have to throw away lot of common sense because court proceedings made absolutely no sense.
It's a drama with ghosts.....Exactly how much IRL by the book proper sense were you expecting to see when it's got a supernatural twist attached to it?
Lol......this CLEARLY wasn't made to win awards. I knew heading into this not to expect any more than a 7 as peak~
Do I like? Ehh......no comment. Another man's trash is another man's treasure or something like that.

Would You Marry Me?.......For rom coms, you don't get much more vanilla then that~
Never saw Burning Hearts~
Dr Shin. HELL no. Synopsis and first 5 minutes was enough for me to run away screaming. Oh! There's not one single actor in its cast I want to see~
Pearl in Red, thats like a daily soap opera ya? Don't watch those period~
Genie........got me there. I liked it. Suzy's character was a mix of Wednesday Addams and SeoYeaJi's KMY from the drama It's ok to not be ok (IOTNBO). That drama is up high on my personal favs and I adore SYJ. She's like one of my queens 😍and I miss her. Canceled over some bs 🤬😤. Anyways....😮💨 watching those 2 personas come to life on Genie? I was done, I wasn't going anywhere and binged it immediately~
Unwritten Seoul was ok for me. PBY I like alot too. That's who I was there for, this dude being in it was just an added bonus
The look she gave was priceless! He almost floored her with that remark~😭
