Love the deep analysis on this site. It comes to 2 points: bringing up the rating, comparing it to the one before (slight drop/sharp drop etc) and then telling if the show can hit double digits. Like everyone gets that a 3% rating is not gonna become double digits if the show is halfway through, lol
I find lovers reunited dramas are so complicated and often uncomfortable, doesn't mean I don't like them, but…
I honestly love those types of dramas, they have great chemistry from the very start, we don't have to wait to be 8 eps in for the leads to start noticing each other... But everybody's taste is different ^^
Am midway through the drama but I'm sad to learn that ML and FL end up together. They truly don't have much chemistry.…
I agree, the chemistry is not really there, it's a very one-sided relationship and the FL is way closer to 2ML than to ML. She just seems to go with the flow, no real feelings towards ML were there...
So far i am at episode 7 and this drama bring nothing new.To me it doesn't feels like gangsters at all,maybe like…
I'm halfway through ep 2 and came here with the same sentiment. If anyone ever watched a few gangster movies, those episodes didn't bring anything new to the table... Even less, as the 'evil' people are characterized as not even that evil from the very start. If you say that it's the same at ep 7 then if's a sign for me to drop...
I do agree with the oversimplification of the recovery process, as it mainly focuses on medication rather than…
True. The fact that this kind of care is mostly inaccessible in my country (and I suppose many others) is my main problem with the drama (if I can even call it a problem with the drama, it's a problem with the healthcare in my country to be frank).
Here, even if you get into psychiatric hospital (and that's really hard, the lines are long), the care you receive is definitely not as great as in the show, cause it's funded by the country and the hospitals are way understaffed. So, in theory a sick person has a chance to get help for 'free', but in reality it's just waiting in line and getting so frustrated that a lot of people just end up paying from their own pocked for private care anyway.
The thing I find most mindboggling about hype is the constant pursue of a better rating (in this example, here on MDL). I constantly see the same thing, no matter if it is a cdrama or kdrama, when the drama is rated like 9.0 and people are commenting that wth, it should be higher! Let's upvote it to 9.1! And then 9.2!
Like I get that when you finally stumble upon a truly great drama, you want it to score higher than all the other, overrated (in your opinion) dramas. But I can't get my mind around the fact that any person would spend their precious time not even on promoting it so that everyone watches the show you love (which I get) but on simply promoting it to raise its score. Personally, if it's above 8 (which in MDL is like a badge of 'most watchers approved' imo) I couldn't care less about rating of a show I love.

I do agree to some extent, the elements of recovery process were a bot scattered through cases. Firstly there are meds, then psychiatrist counseling comes later, and then some elements of good daily routine and support of others. I feel that maybe they didn't want to make every case have the same exact elements, as it could have been too repetetive, so they scattered it around. I'm a bit lenient cause tv show will always contain some oversimplifications
