This year, lol I wont say many and pretend to be an MDL influencer, but this year my friends feeds and a few drama pages must’ve seen my bitter nagging Nancy complaining about the excessive use of the “wash, rinse and repeat” plot lines

Creativity is dead, many shows just depend on the cast name and come up with ridiculously overused plot moves in the same exact formula and order
But enough with nagging Nancy and let me say how this was different


For one, a calm elegant and truly smart and strong fl, that got to those characteristics by actual growth and steps
Second would be park gyu young, her poise, her charisma and her look truly made me believe she’d be a top M worthy influencer
Third would be the well use of cliches:
-poor fl/ rich ml; but ml wasn’t doing the thinking and problem solving for the fl
- not evil 2fl, an anti cliche that was HIGHLY welcomed. Tho they sure did play with our hearts and kept us guessing till the end by,
- 2fl is ml ex, the cliche that usually leads to said 2fl being basically crazy
- friend that feels jealous made sense well
- crazy jealous rich x btches, again they were a good bunch, typical but entertaining dad
There are probably others anyone can add :)


Then the twists, I thought they were spoon feeding us the plot into the same old endings
Ml died, fl was “murdered” by the rich btches if not 2fl and her psycho husband and the nation crying and completely forgetting their own involvement in making such a scary world



One other thing I liked was how everyone had a husband tho I must say that is the makjang way, usually romcoms would only have one friend that “lost to the pressure” and gave up on the single life xD

Bbbfamous, such a sad existence… idk how I feel about it tbh, sure ppl vent out their own mental struggles on others but are all depressed ppl who are envious and tired of the social pyramid should be considered evil?
Maybe cuz fl’s bff was the anti who was tired of living in the shadow and never seeing fame, was enough so bbbfamous had to have a different bg, tbh I’m atleast glad she was a “fake facade” rather than completely just “ugly/dirty”…
Ppl might think ah, so antis and haters are like that, crazy. But we only write support based on events so technically we’re not being antis
Like a scandal coming and everyone becoming keyboard warriors without fully knowing the truth but always carrying that info as the ultimate truth….

Anyway the last two eps went heavy on the twists and they sure did a mission impossible tho again it was a clever way to keep up with the modern times

Now for the deaths and drug, I mean it could be true but if it didn’t exist, how would’ve they continued? Basically it feels like a cheat sheet but atleast they used it once

Ari as a whole, was grey, but that’s the moral, is it worth it.. as someone who made a kdrama fan account on insta and TikTok, I did experience a few things that overall did make me believe the things happened were realistic
Using others to gain followers, buying followers, insta and TikTok having their own algorithm and hidden agendas on who and what gets viral, all are such stressful things honestly even scrolling through insta becomes suffocating when everyone is desperately screaming “look at me”. Thankfully I just edit drama clips so I don’t have to participate in that rat race sometimes I get 700k view’s sometimes I get 7 xD
