The reviews are ranked according to how helpful they were. If a review has a lot of upvotes but MORE down votes…
I don't think that this can be done. Are you sure that they were the reviews of the same users? Perhaps they were different reviews that changed position in the list.
Whatever is the case I think that the upvote and downvote function on the reviews is useless and attracts bots. We are all entitled to our opinion.
I think that it would be better if the reviews could be separated to positive and negative ones according to the reviewers rating. Negatives with rating under five and positive with rating over five. I -personally- want sometimes to read some of the negative reviews and I have to scroll down for ages, particularly in the most viewed dramas.
I mean, the cases here are based on a true story, so maybe reality is stranger than imagination? I also think…
I wasn't talking about this drama in particular. But I saw a similar scene in this drama too. This drama might show real cases but most of K-dramas don't. But all of them repeat the same cliches. That the bad guy is wearing a jokey hat or a hoodie looool to hide himself in places that no one else is wearing a hat!
Regarding stalkers. If you suspect that someone is following you with dubious intentions it is better to confront him and raise an alarm, even if it is the wrong alarm, than risk an attack. It is better to be safe than sorry. And it is not recommended to seek refuge in some isolated back alley. This is common sense that the female victims in K-drama land don't seem to possess!
Generally speaking now.....Can someone explain to me why all K-drama villains wear those jokey caps and on top of that they are wearing them in places that no one else wears a hat in order to hide their identity??! lol The bad guy is always wearing a summer hat in the middle of winter, in the middle of the night and he follows a woman that instead of going in a place with a lot of people she turns for security in the most isolated street ever!
Also can someone explain to me why all those women that are followed by a guy, put their heads down and ran like chickens instead of confront this person and start shouting in order to alarm the neighborhood that they are followed?
I'm not asking these questions because of this drama, I'm asking because I have seen them repeated in a trillion other K-dramas.
Children should not be used as patches for broken marriages. If you have already fill for a divorce it means that…
It is not the in laws and the families that are always responsible for the/any marital problems. It is that they make them worst when the married couples can't work out their problems in private. If the couple inform them that they are thinking of a divorce, ( something that is going to happen by default when you fill for the divorce ) then they become part of the equation.
Also the case of my friend is not my only experience. I divorced too but at least I didn't have any children at that point and I didn't turn back to have a child with my ex husband.
If you make that come back with the hope that the child will resolve the problem ... that's it.... you are done... for good! And if there is already a child and you go for a second one hoping that this will solve the communication or infidelity or whatever other problem, then it is certain that you are going to end f@cked up. Because such kind of problems can't be solved with children, or by the children.
So in order to conclude and share a bit of my hard earned wisdom. Make sure that your relationships are stable before you proceed to have any children. And if something is that wrong that makes you consider a divorce then take the divorce and move on to find something better. Divorces are easy to get nowadays. And don't listen to any parents or in laws because in most of the cases their attitude is to retain the marriage just for the sake of the marriage at any cost without considering the mental or personal cost for those who will have to live under the same roof with a person that they don't appreciate that much anymore. The parents usually idealize the situations they don't live into these situations.
The contrary I'd say. Kairos and Signal had both messed up finales. Did Signal's end make any sense? Generally…
I noticed this too. That it was impossible to get into the phone call situation by the time that he prevented the kidnapping of his daughter. This technically should have cancelled the whole plot! But aside this, the thing that didn't make, for me at least, any sense was that he had flash backs from the time line that he was killed in the villa. He didn't live as you think in both of these timelines and his memory couldn't catch up because he was dead in one of these timelines. This time line was cancelled completely so he shouldn't remember it. How could he remember it? As what? As dead?! ha ha haaaaaaaaa sorry for laughing but I still find it very funny.
Anyway the problem with all these time travel dramas is that their scripts are probably not written and completed in advance in order to avoid the time travel paradoxes.
If the ML is killed in a past time line it is impossible to remember it in its present time line. If he cancels the sequence of events that lead him to the phone calls, then the phone calls never happened and he probably wouldn't be able to cancel the kidnapping.
What I want to point out is that such kind of scripts cannot be written without preliminary plans. Which they don't use and that is the reason why most of these dramas have problematic plots.
But the worst was the Sisyphus one. By far. They lost and I've lost completely the plot midway. Nothing made sense.
I have wondered plenty of times if the actors that are cast for the roles realize what sort of nonsense they have to play. Don't they feel the need to point out to the director that the one or the other scene doesn't make any sense? looool
The contrary I'd say. Kairos and Signal had both messed up finales. Did Signal's end make any sense? Generally…
Yes it was better than some others, mostly due to the actor's performances, but the end was a mess.
But Sisyphus was the worst of all time travel dramas. The characters looked, from a point and on, like amnesiacs as they were unable to remember what they did in the same time line! The writers lost completely the plot in that particular one.
Kairos wasn't any better btw. The ML f.e had flash backs of his death from a different time line! That was the ultimate WTF moment of this drama!! lol
I'm a huge Sic-Fi fan. I watched a lot of that stuff. It's true South Korea is not the best at making those, but…
The contrary I'd say. Kairos and Signal had both messed up finales. Did Signal's end make any sense? Generally speaking time travel dramas plots have to be written in advance something that K-drama writers obviously rarely do because they listen to their audience opinion. And then they start changing the plot ending up with messy finales.
Children should not be used as patches for broken marriages. If you have already fill for a divorce it means that…
There is no need to know the particulars. Countless people in this world have done the same thing with the exact same results. When you have filled for divorce once after the first child, then the divorce is inevitable. And that because - as I mentioned previously- when you are married the process of the divorce includes more people than you and your spouse. It includes the parents and the in laws too, the lawyers and the law. They are already included in the situation and there is not chance to remove them afterwards.
The most extreme case that I've have heard was from a friend of mine who divorced with his wife, ( full divorce they were not simply separated) then they came back together, they re married they had their first child and then... they divorced again! I said to him back when that happened: Were two weddings necessary in order to have a child and what was the point to have the child by the time that you had not resolve your personal/ marital problems. And he said that he thought that if they had a child those would be resolved by themselves. Which is not the case of course. But this was an extreme case because they didn't have a child during the first divorce so they should have ended the relationship there and move on in their life. But I have heard about other couples who have done the exact same thing with this actress. They were thinking to divorce and then they came back together to have a second child.
Anyway.. she is neither the first nor the last that she has done the same thing. I wish her the best of luck in this arrangement of a marriage.
Children should not be used as patches for broken marriages. If you have already fill for a divorce it means that…
It doesn't have to happen simultaneously. She filled first for a divorce and then she changed her mind and went on to have a second child with the guy that she was pretty sure that she wanted to divorce him and she already considered him not that good of a parent for the first child. Do you find this reasonable?
It is not. When you get to the trouble to fill for a divorce, make the paperwork, hire a lawyer, inform him and his parents and your parents for the reasons why you think that your marriage can't go on, it doesn't make sense to go back and have after a while a second child with that same guy!
A second child can't solve the whatever marital problems.
Oh. Wow. I thought the divorce went through.Glad to hear they're still working things out and have added to their…
Children should not be used as patches for broken marriages. If you have already fill for a divorce it means that you have already realize that your husband is not that good of a partner on regard of domestic matters which is the reason why you married him after all. This doesn't apply to unmarried couples because this type of couples can live separately at any given time, without having the parents and the in laws interfere to their relationship. Anyway... I wish her congratulations for the new baby and good luck for the rest.
The recipe for disaster. Filling for divorce ( not without some very good reasons to get into this trouble) and then instead of getting it, have a second child with the man that you considered as a not that good of a husband. Congratulation and Good Luck!
And the reason why Stella didn't end up with Jang Sung Joo is because he was fat? Jang Sung Joo is shown like a very decent and nice guy that was very close to her, but the writers thought that it was better for her to switch to Cha Soo Ho, ( in other words to show Stella's character as a a completely shallow and pretentious person) out of the blue just for the sake of matching the handsome guy with the pretty chick. Cliche and sexist to the extremes.
The message is that an intelligent woman will never fall in love with a guy that he is not at least a model. Model like guys should be first priority even if they are idiots!! In other words Stella's intelligence is cancelled!
That's really interesting.One thing that confused me about this is that I thought that medical examiners were…
It is a drama but they wanted to make it as realistic as possible. And the easiest way to do this is by showing the rules and the protocols that are followed inside the autopsy rooms. The Coroners and their assistants are obliged to wear masks, it is like law as otherwise can be exposed to any disease existent and spread it to the public. The scene that they were locked down along with a body that they suspected that it had MERS that Baek Beom was allowed to examine without a mask ( and without being fired on spot) is simply contradicting. Baek Beom should have worn a mask either way for this exact reason. Because the dead might have had MERS, or Ebola or whatever.
Episode 19 was completely off. No prosecutor should be related with the victims to avoid prejudice and manipulation of the evidences.
The fact that Kang Hyun was persuaded from the very start that Baek Beom was the culprit should have been a good reason to remove him immediately from the case. Not to mention that he should't be in the interrogation room and bully the suspect. That was a completely unprofessional and illegal behavior ( it was not his right in the first place) and then he shouldn't quit by himself but be fired before even they had come to any conclusions about the case.
Anyway.. I finished this drama and I'm giving a 6,5 out of 10 due to the factual errors, over melodramatic scenes that kept going on for ever, a lot of unimportant scenes that were there to fill the running time, but mostly for the under developed second and third characters that looked in most of the cases like caricatures. The relatives of the diseased to bring an example.
Those who should get an ovation are those who played the dead!! lol
