Omg everyone in this drama is annoying me so much, especially the cops. I thought it would get better since I'm…
Lololol yes the cops! K-drama police tends to be dumb, but these clowns deserve a special mention. I have them on my top 3 dumbest K-drama cops this year 🥸
Also, the "drama is fictional, all resemblance to existing persons and institutions is accidental" is a staple announcement for any drama lately. What did they "win" then?
Imagine if all other institutions or representatives of different professional associations protested when a drama involved them - like the police, doctors, lawyers etc LOL.
Incredibly pathetic to use controversy to garner higher drama viewers. How ignorant do they think South Korean citizens to be if they think ALL residents will be swayed to believe ALL Korean apartment managers embezzle their collective funds? The 'controversy' with its articles & online negativity will drive higher ratings. A controversy. What better way for a viewer to tune in to see what all the fuss is about.
even if they suspect Kang Taeju, they should AT LEAST be open to other possibilities and actually investigate, instead of just trying to pin everything on him
I absolutely love the way he looks at her every single time — whether he’s jealous, whether he sees his brother touching her, when she annoys him, or when she pushes him to his absolute limits. That’s why it’s called Overdose, and that’s exactly why I love it: everything is excessive, intense, and taken to the extreme. Their chemistry is incredibly strong. They’re both so beautiful, so tall, and they match each other perfectly. Their visual presence alone has completely drawn me in. On top of that, the story is unbelievably interesting, especially the orphanage plot. It’s obvious that the old man abused Ren Su Su, the girls, and the children there, and I genuinely want him to pay for everything he did. I really want true justice for those kids. I’m completely hooked and wait every night for a new episode. Honestly, all the negative comments about the directing, camera work, CGI, or editing don’t even register for me. I don’t see them at all because I’m enjoying this drama so much. Overdose has me absolutely captivated, and I’m loving every second of this intense, over-the-top experience. 🔥🖤📺
No but seriously He Yu absolutely owned this role. He portrays every bit of Xiao Huayong to a perfection and seems so convincingly frail yet formidable. His scheming mind, his sincere heart, his yearning, his joy, everything is expressed so beautifully in his eyes and body language, not to mention he looks simply ethereal in this styling.
Kudos to the voice actor too, his voice really suits both He Yu and Huayong really well.
Honestly, I believe fans should stop treating MyDramaList as the ultimate authority on whether a drama is good or bad.
Overdo is currently dominating the Chinese market. It debuted at #1 on the Maoyan Heat Index, surpassed 50 million effective views within just a few hours, and is breaking popularity records on both iQIYI and Tencent Video. Zhang Linghe has even surpassed his own previous records from Pursuit of Jade. Internationally, the drama is already trending on iQIYI International, WeTV, and Rakuten Viki, while hashtags related to the series have gone viral on Weibo with millions of interactions.
What makes MDL seem unreliable is not only the negativity, but also the way its rating system can be manipulated. The platform allows users to rate episodes before they are even released, which means some people give the lowest possible score without having watched the episode at all. That is not an objective evaluation; it is a premeditated negative vote.
And one more thing: the fact that some people focus so heavily on the AI effects or the directing shows how much the drama’s massive success bothers them. Personally, those things do not bother me at all; on the contrary, I genuinely enjoy the aesthetics and atmosphere of the series. For me, compared to the power of the lead duo Zhang Linghe and Wang Churan, those details become secondary. Their chemistry, the tension between the characters, and the emotions they convey are what have won over millions of viewers.
So, if you are enjoying Overdo, do not let the MDL score ruin your experience. Real viewing data, audience engagement, and rankings on China’s major platforms provide a far more complete picture of the drama’s success than a rating system that can be influenced before episodes even air. No matter how much some people try to undermine the drama with premature low ratings and negative comments, Overdo’s trajectory shows that its success is driven by real audiences, not by the negativity of a small group of users.
