I took your recc advice and watched Falling Into You and completely LOVED it! Tyssssm, that was so great. Do you have any other reccs for c-dramas with a decent spice level like FIY, HL, and MFB? I see you like a lot of sweet stuff.... I don't mind if it's sweet as long as it's also spicy.

It was shaping up to be great, but imo they totally tanked the ending. Last maybe 5 episodes or so seemed off the rails. It seems like it's telling a certain kind of story, and feeding into certain kinds of character developments, but then it devolves in the final episodes into an inedible lump of cheese and sugar.

Some of parts of the story are dropped.... like when ML says to FL "You're not ready to give yourself to me right now are you" and it makes you think at some point she will be ready, but they drop that idea-thread. Or the weird roommate with the glasses, who seems like she's building up to a great big resentment-filled cathartic monologue, but at some point in the last third of the drama, they just drop her and we never see or hear about her again.

I was all set to give in an 8, but it lost it's direction in the last 20% of the drama, and things fizzled so badly that the FL I'd liked a lot at the beginning, I really found myself having an aversion to by the end. I didn't like her anymore by the time the HE came around.

7.5 from me.

That's great. It doesn't affect me, because A) I have one account, and it's organic because I am a longstanding real user and B) I'm the one being bullied.

But it might affect you...? idk Now you're just bullying me by threatening to have my acct shut down because you don't like my opinions.

I have no problem with admins mediating this. They can see what you can't about my acct.

> probs one of those guys who kept coming here

There is literally nothing about my profile, my activity, or my comments that backs up your false accusation. The fact of the matter is that you're reporting me because you don't like my opinions and you want someone more powerful than yourself to shut them down for you because they upset you.

How do you know they wouldn't take one look at this conv and suspend YOUR acct?

Report away. Hi, admins. <3

ALWAYS there's a group of you people acting like lunatics in the KOREAN dramas. Never the chinese, never the japanese, never the thai, just the Korean dramas. Almost like you guys are some kind of twisted PR agents larping as teen girls. It's weird, and accounts like yours are predictable. Let me guess you have 10 sock accounts you use to like your own comments and talk to yourself to make it seem like people like this show.

G*ddam. You guys think you can just shut down any wrongthink conversation you want anywhere on MDL by being the worst bullies possible.

Good reminder to me to always check user profiles before replying to ANYONE in a recently-aired k-drama.

> (looks at ms dramaholic's profile)

ohhhhhh now i get it. Yeah, you're so so so full of sh*t, and we're done. Take your meds, wow.

> not familiar with casual internet slangs and whateva?

Very much so. It has nothing to do with being perfect, it has to do with readability of a native speaker is all. I'm not exercising totally technically correct english either (although I can when it's necessary like to get an A on a college essay...), and don't expect others to. But you have to be able to read it smoothly.

I don't know how doxxy you'd expect me to get in order to demonstrate my nativeness of english, lol....

No offense, but you're really up in my grill, and imma peace out cuz dayum. Sorry I got you all excited. Really. I'm sorry I did that. I don't want to be in this conv whatsoever. I'm pulling the plug on it. Nite nite.

Well there are several technical mistakes that make that sentence really hard to read for a native english speaker. But I don't want to bother you so. Have a lovely day. I'm not here to fight.

This is completely insane.

> ur bullying the gurl

wot?

The very first sentence is technically wrong. So we could start there? But everyone seems angry. Idk if I want to be involved in this kind of vitriolic chat.

However, just for the record, so you can see I'm not just spouting off random crap, here's the original sentence:

>Fortunately, now that troupe of ugly, bitter, complacent and unhappy individuals, with an empty life, with no prospect of realizing their dreams or being happy, will mostly have to look for another actor and another drama to act like real vultures towards of.

Here is the sentence fixed so it makes sense when you read it:

"Fortunately now, the troupe of ugly, bitter, complacent, and unhappy individuals with an empty life and no prospect of realizing their dreams or being happy, will mostly have to look for another actor and another drama to act like a real vulture towards."

I kind of feel like I'm the one being bullied, lol.... this is just so bizarre.

The offer's on the table anytime. Have a lovely day.

Again, I have no opinion whatsoever on this drama, so I don't get the hostility...

But I'm an easygoing person, if you change your mind just friend me and we can chat more in PM's. I'd be happy to help you up your english game, I don't take your defensiveness personally.

I could help you if you like. I get that you're prickly about how I described your english, but I'm serious it's not THAT bad, and I could help you if you want anytime. If you want I can go through your post with you in PM's and give you tips about how to fine-tune your english.

Or not, up to you....

It's not a show, this is the way I write. There's no foof in that comment to try to dress it up and make it seem fancy, all the language I used was functional and essential, but just worded in a technically proficient way.

You should buy it, because it's real. I'm a very good english tutor, even for native english speakers. I edit my friends' college essays and my besties used to copy off my homework all the time in english during school. My english was so good at age 4 that I was pulled out of my kindergarten class for two hours every day to learn english with the 2nd graders. I finished Lord of the Rings in 3 weeks when I was in 4th grade. I've just always been this way.

And if you want, I can help you out if you ever feel so inclined. I think you are highly teachable, as far as just your level of english. It's not bad for a non-native speaker.

I have a question for yall... what KIND of draggy are we talking about? Like the kind where there's too much dead air time, like watching someone walk alllll the way down a really long hallway, or drink and ENTIRE glass of water? Or the kind where some stupid subplot is being rehashed and rehashed and there's a lot of circular dialogue? Or too much strategic and political talk?

How would you describe the drag.

I wasn't even here, I just saw this page for the first time today. I was wanting to ask a question about this drama, and your comment was just at the top of the page.

I read it. I was not easy to read because I'm a native english speaker and some of those sentences were just slaughtered... but I did basically understand what you're saying. Since I wasn't here and haven't seen this yet, I have no opinion on any of it.

However, you did say something that just as an American, I can't just sit and say nothing about, and it was this:

"It was not simply exercising the right to freedom of speech. They were coming here with the intention of disturbing and offending those who were enjoying the drama and those who like the actors. It was purposeful and extremely toxic."

That is simply exercising the right to freedom of speech. Being a troll or being purposefully toxic, is just as protected by the right to free speech as someone spreading love and rainbows and saying smart shit. Lying is also exercising the right to free speech. That's the point of free speech.

The only speech that isn't protected by freedom of speech, is what we call "yelling fire in a crowded theater"... meaning you don't have the right to intentionally say things that could immediately create grave bodily injury to others (in the instance of yelling fire in a crowded theater, someone could be stampeded).

If one were to say "okay youre not allowed to say anything toxic" then it becomes a question of 'What is toxic EXACTLY. Define the word 'toxic'.' And that debate could end up getting existential and philosophical. For instance... if you have to learn how to deal with seeing shitty comments (because you can't censor them or alter them), and you learn how to cope and end up achieving a new level of inner peace because of it.... then was that 'toxic' speech really toxic? If half of people find something funny, and the other half are offended, then is it toxic or not?

These questions cannot be objectively answered. And so, freedom of speech protects all of it, simply because what is "acceptable speech" and what is not, is fundamentally subjective in nature.

I only stop to say this because in current year, there are lots of big forces at work trying to suppress free speech, all over the world. One of their tactics is to try to alter the meaning or definition of what freedom of speech is, and slowly slowly box people in, in their own ignorance until they've wiped out any real freedom of speech and replaced it with "freedom of acceptable speech". Once you've accepted that [freedom of speech = freedom of acceptable speech], then they've got you under their control. And I don't care if other people put chains on their own minds or their own speech, but if we all just mindlessly start accepting that as reality, then we're all screwed.

Evil trolling is still freedom of speech.

Whether it's allowed on MDL is another story.

Just like Kill Me Heal Me. Aigoo, what a bummer.

The fact that when he gets busted by her dad, his attitude is just like "Yeah, AND." Damn he's so fine.

Xie Wei: "Ning'er is mine."
Ning'er AND her dad: "No she's not."
Xie Wei: "YES SHE IS."

Imagine liking a girl, and everyone on the planet INCLUDING THE GIRL is like "No." And you're like "Whtvs idgaf." And just take her anyway.... WITH her consent.

Badass level 1000

> the correct order should be Zhang Zhe>Yan Lin>Villager A>Xie Wei

dude.... so much lol.... a villager > XW

He's cranky, petty, jealous, deranged (only when it snows tho), scheming, stabby, strangly, manipulative, trips his own child for his amusement, and values his qin more than most people's lives.

AND YET...

He should be booked solid to 2026 with that HL performance. What is going ON omG!

VICTOR MA IS THE SHIT!

Even if the ML and FL sucked - which they DONT - I'd rewatch this just for Victor alone. Damn he's such an amazing actor.

mmmm, I see where you're going with that, and you have a point. I'll look at it differently on the 4th watch because you are also right. When a man has all those walls up.... when the walls come down, it's like Three Gorges dam breaking apart. All that pent up... whatever.

Hmmm.....

edit - snowstorm of love, haven't seen it yet, I was told it's all sweet and no spice or fire. And I'm not a fan of the ML when I saw him in The Long Ballad. He looks like a bird... an eagle or a falcon or a hawk, some angry kind of bird, with that stare and his thin lips. It probably wasn't even his fault that I didn't like him in that, Dilraba doesn't have any chemistry with anyone. She could make Xie Wei look like a ham sandwich. So I'd give him another try in something else. But I just can't hack romances with no real passion/fire/spice/kilig in them, so I wasn't sure if it was worth checking out or what.
