I agree with your review because you put in words what was luring in my mind before I dropped it at episode 8. I couldn't go on watching so much tragedy and rejection. And it was going to get worse!!! TT
I just LOOOOVED your article. You have just a light and amusing way of writing, and also the ability to tell the stories about the dramas in a very uncomplicated way. I have seen maybe half of the dramas you described, but for me the most sad and despairing one was Scarlet Heart Ryeo. I am not joking or exaggerating when I say that on the second half of the drama I used more than 4 or 5 tissues per episode. I think I haven't completely recovered from so much sorrow and despair. (◞‸◟)
My heart is crushing but I think I am going to pass this. First, it's a noona romance and I don't like those. Second, the ml is this guy who has zero acting abilities but he's supposed to be handsome. (I'm thinking maybe he has a chunk of Netflix shares or he is the son of a big guy there...) Beautiful PMY is one of my favorite actresses, but it's not enough to endure the two reasons I addressed before. Oh, I'm so sad... (╯_╰)
I wonder if the actors see the whole script when they get offered a part or just a couple of first episodes? Cause…
She's a VERY overhyped actor, I guess she uses a very good PR agency to accomplish this. Her acting is sooo bad, she has the very same face for all the range of emotions she should portray. And she has done this in every drama I have seen of her (which I have always dropped, with the exception of DOTS). And also, I don't like her mania for working with actors younger than herself. Either she has a very big ego or she thinks she will look younger herself. For me, the outcome is just the opposite.
I've started watching it mainly cause of Wi Ha Joon. He was quite awesome in "Midnight", so I wanted to check…
In the description of the drama, there is a section called Genres. There is the word "Fantasy". I think this explains why both personalities can meet and live at the same time. The answer is not psychology but fantasy. ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
I concur 100% with you. For me the worst part was the FL with that dumb expression plastered in the face. No matter what, she had this same expression throughout the drama. I loved Vaness and the little boy, but it was not enough.
I dropped this on ep 15, waiting for the st*pid amnesia trope to be over to return. 15 episodes more and the foolishness continues, as I see on the comments. Man, guess I'm gonna have to continue on hiatus. *sigh*
Thanks for all the effort and time you used to create this fun dating game!! It was so entertaining and informative at the same time. Now my TWL is quite a little bit longer... (°∀°)
Toxic answer to my comment. *rolling eyes* I am entitled to my opinion as you are to yours. You have no right to "shut" me up. Have a happy life, my dear.
Very kind of you to create a brand new account just to enlighten us.
@gotgoodtaste205 "... I forget that most kpop fans are crazy.".... (¬、¬) I'm sure offending others is not a good way to start commenting in MDL or any forum whatsoever.
The ML is avery good actor and he is very handsome. However, they put a counterpart who is neither of those. She has the same face for whatever feeling she is supposed to show, and (for me) she lacks visuals whatsoever.
Great!!! LJH is one of my favorites!! Let's hope those people don't start a petition for it's cancellation on whatever reason they find preposterous. ୧(⇀‸↼‶)૭
Just at the beginning of the amnesia trope I put this drama on hiatus for me. Last week I read the comments and saw just the few last minutes of episode 26. However, after reading several comments today about episode 27 and the dumb attitude of the ML and the eternal crying of the FL (which I abhor) I am dropping completely this absurd drama... ఠ ͟ಠ
