It's just one of the favorite tropes of writers, where the leads will get into an accident just for the sake of convenience of the plot, while the driver doesn't even get arrested or punished. It has been done so many times in the recent 1-2 years that I feel it should have a separate tag or should be written as a cameo appearance for the show.

Yes, that's why I consider it her weakest drama, which, honestly in my opinion, was just made to capitalize on the hype created for the writer after "My Love From The Star".

Just open the comment section of that drama and see the recent comments. It's been 3-4 months since it finished airing, but the haters are still more active there than the fans.

Yes, I am so excited for it! It has been 5 years since the first season aired. I hope the wait is worth it and they add more romance as compared to its first season because it is honestly one of my favorites.

Exactly! Even "Legend of The Blue Sea" was better than this, which I found to be the weakest of all her dramas that I've watched. The lead actor wasn't very good at emoting the emotions and feelings of the character, but at least there were fewer tropes and it had a much more satisfying ending, considering the timeframe it was made in.

Exactly! Constructive criticism is one thing, but the hate camp ⛺️ is just crazy. It's like they're on a mission to spread negativity rather than engaging in meaningful discussion.

I hope the comment section of this drama doesn't become as toxic as that of "My Demon" after it finishes airing today. The haters are even more obsessed with the drama than the fans, still camping there all day and night. If even one person comments something positive about the drama, then every one of them will start calling that person out for being oppa-obsessed and even abusing them just because they liked the drama.

You know, the last 8-10 months of Cdramas have been so good that we have consistently been getting good dramas, whether it be modern, xianxia, wuxia, palace politics, pure fluffy love stories, or historical dramas. I have watched more dramas in this time frame than in the last 2 years. Even now, three of my favorite dramas are being streamed side by side, each with a different plot than the other.

Kuch nhi bro, ab kya hi bol sakte hai. 😂 Everything will go as PJE wants because she is the god in her drama.

As the drama was supposedly written in the 2010s, maybe it might have been possible that PJE didn't get to change it and then left it as it is.

It surpasses the ratings and chemistry of CLOY, but it still couldn't beat it in terms of how well CLOY was written. At least there were fewer tropes in CLOY, while QOT is riddled with tropes in the last quarter.

Actually, I don't even understand the whole love story of Soo Cheol and Da Hye. I don't know why he loves her so much even after being betrayed, experiencing the worst betrayal of all when she slept with another man and had his baby while passing it off as Soon Cheol's. For me, maybe their happy ending would have been them going their separate ways and Soo Cheol finding a woman who loves him as much as he loves her.

Yes, I'm kinda new to them too, so I'm lucky to have only watched the good and recent ones. But even then, the dramas released in the past 2-3 years were very good with enough plot and budget to make everything look as real and organic in progression as possible.

Xianxia are fantasy-based Cdramas where there is reincarnation, immortality, tragic love stories, betrayal, and very cool CGI battles. Yes, most Cdramas have 40 episodes, but xianxia and historical dramas have so much content to follow that sometimes they feel short. They honestly appeal more to me now after having been hurt by those idiotic tropes and traumas in the Kdramas.

Actually, the problem viewers had with "Start Up" was that in the beginning, there were two male leads who were shown to be vying for the female lead's attention, but in the second half, Kim Seon Ho, the second male lead who was perfect in every sense, wasn't chosen by the female lead. Instead, she chose Nam Joo Hyuk, who had cheated in his exams and had problems with his self-confidence and self-esteem due to the trauma of his cheating. So, most of the viewers were hating on Nam Joo Hyuk and the writer when it was perfectly clear at the start that Nam Joo Hyuk is the male lead and will get the female lead. Honestly, I couldn't care less, but isn't it the female lead's choice for whom she chooses rather than who loved her more?

That's why I'm gravitating more towards Cdrama, mainly historical or xianxia dramas. At least we get proper fighting scenes and plot development between the leads and other characters.

When the company is as big as Queen's Group seems to be, it is normal for a important press conference to be attended by international reporters. I also thought that perhaps the press conference would have more significance than just showing how Hae In has a firm will and will never back down from Eunseong's threats. But maybe I was overthinking it. 🤔

Your review is good. Everything you said was correct, except for me, their chemistry was very good and explosive. I was still enjoying it until episode 13 because at least the story was less tropey and riddled with plot holes. But now, I'm just watching it for all the technical staff who worked on the drama, like the actors and directors, because the writer is pulling out every plotline and trope that she can think of out of her hat just so that she can shock the viewers and achieve high ratings.

Is it really possible to remove every video of the press conference from the internet? I believe there were many international reporters present who could have published the video. While she may be able to use her power and influence to remove the video in Korea, I doubt it's possible for every other country.

Actually, it has become a bad script after ep 13 because the way the writer is pulling stupid tropes and plot lines out of nowhere, even though she knows she wouldn't be able to fit them in the last 4 episodes. She should have properly adjusted the balance in the drama so that the plot felt cohesive without cramming everything suddenly in the last quarter of the drama. I like character suffering, but only when the payoff is good. In this drama, the leads are suffering for the whole drama only to get relief in the last few minutes of the final episode. Even after today's episodes, we have so many questions but only have 1 ep left. It would have been good if there were 2-3 more episodes left to properly conclude everything, but we don't have that. And I believe we will only get a last-minute happy ending where villains get punished because of their stupidity, not because the leads are smart.
