Thanks! Netizenbuzz also translated comments and they are overwhelmingly positive. I think the sometimes dark tone and disturbing imagery made some viewers tune out which is not surprising for korean audiences. More of the general public probably tuned in initially to see KSH, this is not general audience friendly romance drama like My Love From The Stars.
I’m already considering dropping. The drama was suppose to be about real mental health issues, but ended up…
the ratings dropped now people feel justified to say it’s disappointing like tv ratings are direct reflection of a drama’s quality. I’ve only seen this phenomenon with kdrama watchers .
Where did you get rating info from? It sucks if it continues to go down because it’s a good drama. What’s worse is if they eventually do rewrites to try to get ratings up *sigh*
SLS - I almost never get this because if the male or female lead aren’t into the second lead in a romantic way, I don’t feel inclined to wish they would get together just because the person seems to be a better match for them. I usually end up shipping the person with myself (I’m still in love with Yoon Pil Joo from Greatest Love)
Destiny - this is prevalent in a lot of asian media. I even come across this reading Japanese mangas, Chinese Manwhas and korean webtoons. I just assume it might come up, although it’s not as prevalent these days. It is what it is and doesn’t ruin kdramas for me. I totally understand how it would induce eyerolls in other viewers though.
The breaking up right after getting together is a big sign of an uninspired and/or exhausted writer who wants to get the drama over with and means the drama should have been like 10-12 episodes (which is most kdramas tbh and I can’t wait till 12-14 episodes become the norm!)
Nope... because number 1 is 'The Untamed' = 9.7k+ commentsBut this one is the most commented 'Korean drama' in…
I've backed off watching Untamed because of the ridiculous hype, the same thing happened with Healer, when I finally got to watching it, I could not enjoy it because it wasn't as good as it had been so hyped to be.
2016 was an epic year for asian BL for me, started the year obsessing over Heroin and ended the year obsessing over Yuri On Ice and in general, i'm a very casual TV watcher. Both are still my 2 favorite TV shows ever.
I felt the urge to rewatch this, and to be honest, it was much better the second time around. I even increased…
I just started rewatching and fell in love all over again...i think i knew it would be something special when i heard one of my favorite songs of all time by Explosions in The Sky.
I'm curious how Sweet Home will be adapted, it could be really good or disastrous. Of course no LGBT themed webtoons are being adapted, yawn South Korea, YAWN.
