i don't give 10s easily, but this was definitely a 10 for me (and my first 10/10 kdrama). i laughed and cried and cheered them on. i was worried the older side of the village wouldn't interest me, but they exponentially grew on me and i sincerely loved every single person in the village. this will probably become one of my comfort dramas now. it felt like home and they felt like family :')
yoon haekang and han seyoon bang yoondam and lee hansol they have romance, but very limited so i wouldn't expect much considering they're portraying middle schoolers and are all also quite young irl
yeah that's because it got into some controversy over insensitive lines about indonesia in ep 5 and many indonesian watchers protested by giving it low ratings on every platform. the lines were quite negatively generalizing so i think it was pretty justifiable to be upset at. sbs apologized, but still (still love the drama though)
i honestly wished they would have revealed the killer a lot later, but it also still (somehow???) worked out. seriously great drama wow. the episodes just flew by
THANK YOU!!! i always feel so lonely amongst all my friends who usually ship the fml with the sml. even if they're great guys, i always end up just supporting the male lead, no matter what (then again, i have yet to watch true beauty LOL). i think the only two times i've ever gotten sls is when i mistakenly thought they were the male lead T^T and if the male lead is toxic, i usually just want the fml to stay single lolol, sorry smls
it actually surprised me how different this and the webtoon were. i thought there'd be at least SOME similarities, but really the only ones are their names and the virus starting from a hamster bite lol. unless i'm missing something?
i was pretty understanding of nayeon for eps 1-2 cuz i imagine it'd be quite terrifying being in that experience but omfg she really did that to my fave boy gyeonsu WTF. but i think the thing that bothered me the most was how namra noticed and literally didn't say anything until wayyyyyy after the fact. like how come she didn't question her about it before nayeon went in??? or WHILE she was doing it???
Why did they repeat like the same 3 songs throughout the entire show lmao
they actually played a ton of diff songs, esp compared to other dramas, but in this one most of the songs have a similar style (slower, nostalgic, melancholic) so you might not have noticed the difference
i really love how they ended it with enough closure for each character, but even with some plots not fully explored (like what happened with jiung's mom), they ended it in a hopeful way. that life will continue on for all of them, for better or worse. it was a happy ending, yet it still felt melancholic to me and i kinda liked that
ofc, these are just my predictions. i think the show itself will be quite good (hopefully). the webtoon is great, i'm just worried based on the netflix original kdrama trends
Lol its not even talk of the town on social media. And even if its overhyped , it should be. Didn't you see how…
happiness isn't on netflix so irrelevant to this convo, kingdom came out before the squid game craze + is historical and political which are two very hit or miss genres, and nevertheless has nothing to do with anything i said...
i don't really understand what your comment is saying tbh. are you saying it should be overrated aka more popular? my comment isn't saying anything about it being overrated, just overhyped. a lot of people go into zombie movies and shows expecting it to be a masterpiece just because it's from korea, so much so that people often raise their expectations too much and end up disappointed.
and just cuz you don't see it on your social media doesn't mean it isn't there. the trailer alone got 11M views after a week. majority of the trailers on the channel don't even get 2M views. i'm saying after squid game blew up, international fans are pining after the next sk drama hit and this has it worse because it'll be compared to train to busan. what are you cursing me for? LOL
it was so hard for me to enjoy or even watch this due to the sheer amount of long walking scenes. they'd have like a full 5 minutes of the characters walking IN SILENCE. after some time it felt like i was watching a walking simulator instead of a drama. i did like the bits of bromance-ish they had and especially every scene with kadowaki maki, but most of it was so utterly slow and boring for me which was such a shame :(
i kind of think this will end up being too hyped up, unfortunately. obviously, after squid game, netflix has been hungrier for more drama hits and on top of that, these are zombies which means it's almost guaranteed to be compared to train to busan. i don't think the show will turn out "bad" by any means. but i definitely think it'll be so hyped up to the point of being disappointing to many. i'm trying my best to not have any expectations, but i'm surely worried for it
