Not judging things you haven't personally experienced is a sweet enough sentiment, but impractical and unrealistic. As for explaining my logic initially... where's the fun in that?

This guy is messing with my bias list something fierce. Who the hell is his character in Ice Fantasy though? I would've thought I'd notice him D:

Bai Zhi's death scene was the most irritating thing that I've ever seen in any drama ever. OH MY GOD PEOPLE, JUST SEE THE DAMN WATER SCOOPER THINGY

That's probably an intelligent way to look at things. High expectations only disappoint, while low expectations can prove a happy surprise :)

You misunderstand my logic, then. I'm making an educated guess that the score this movie has was not entirely earned solely by the contents, and that outside factors are at play. I don't think that those votes "don't matter", I think that based on the category of people that are likely to have voted so far, there is an inherent bias present in the scores. Would you trust the results of a baking contest where a chocolate cake won if you knew that the only people that voted were the people that like chocolate cake best?
It isn't as if I'm writing this movie off as terrible, and it isn't as if I'm never going to watch it and form my own opinion of it. I'm simply saying that it's rather inevitable that it'll take more ratings from a wider population of voters before the movie has a score that's truly representative of the movie.

<3 Thank you for the well-thought and understanding reply, Gongyoooppa c:
In all seriousness, I'm glad to see it's been rated by more people since I posted this comment, (pretty sure it was in the 9+/10 area when I posted originally) but I still don't trust a high score from less than 200 ratings. Most tried and tested high ranking movies have more than two thousand votes. There's also the fact that this is a very recent movie, and the large majority of people that would bother to have seen it so far are also the people to blindly rate it a ten. Like I said, I don't need to watch the movie to know it's overrated as of right now.

I'm enjoying this more than I thought I would. Started off a bit slow but I'm in around episode 34 atm and I'm loving all the palace drama~! I just think it's hilarious how basically every male character has heart eyes for our MC.

I just saw a comment where somebody called it's 9.2 rating 'underrated'. People are treating this drama like the second coming of Jesus~ Lol

Geez. This is a good drama, don't get me wrong, but it's overrated. It isn't life-changing.

Keep studying (:

I feel like Gong Yoo has been raking in the cash lately, man. Nice to see him finally getting the recognition he deserves, I've loved him since Coffee Prince <3

I don't even need to watch this movie to know that it doesn't deserve the rating it has. Lol.

I was looking at the cover picture forever like "why is this two chicks? why is it pretending to be a lesbian movie?"
Aaaaand THEN I realized that's just the male lead. That boy is hella pretty!

It's about as upsetting as any zombie movie is. Not the saddest movie in the world, not the scariest movie in the world, just... upsetting. If zombie movies are your thing, go ahead and watch it. If they aren't, give it a shot, but don't expect it to change your opinion on the genre.

The acting is on point, however.

Not amazing, but I liked it. It's definitely worth watching.

Don't think too much while watching it and you'll have a great time

If you're debating watching this, watch it. That is all I have to say.
-Currently starting my fourth rewatch-

I'm not far enough in for this to be a spoiler for me considering I don't even know who that is, but please tag your comment a spoiler.

I feel like this is going to be f*ing gorgeous

I can tell even now that I'm gonna be WAY more into whatever happens with Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na than the main couple.
