I can’t be the only one hitting the fast-forward button, right? The first 3 episodes had me hooked, but these last two have been paced and choreographed in such a drawn-out way. It feels like we're losing all the suspense and tension we started with. Anyone else drifting away?
This drama is pretty much a westernised makjang trying to be gritty and "real" but forgetting to be entertaining…
It’s actually ironic that you say this, because the story is deeply rooted in real South Korean realities. Cases like Yu Menlong and Jang Ja-yeon highlight how these issues are not fictional, but part of a broader, troubling pattern—if you look into the circumstances and scandals surrounding their deaths, it becomes clear. What Climax is doing is offering a social commentary on this very crisis, rather than exaggerating it or westernising at you say. These are issues in the Asian entertainment industry.
I am currently watching and I’m absolutely relating to your review ! I am at the stage where I am also feeling like my intelligence is being insulted by the endless loop and uninspired makjang tropes
You made the list ! Yay . Can't say I disagree with your choices.
I am yet to actually watch a Cha Eun Woo drama but from the bits I have seen , he does look annoying . Glad to see Bae Suzy on the list , I should add her to mine . Very interesting you have Park Min Young . They call her Miss Chemistry because she allegedly has great chemistry with every male lead. To me , she is just okay .
I am also going to add Kim Se Jong . I have only watched one drama of hers and she was not good at all but I like to put people on the list when I have watched at least two of their dramas.
I’m glad we share a brain on this . There are many dramas that are soo overhyped for no reason . I’m curious…
Ooof - it has one of the actors I cannot stand in Gong Hyo Jin so I always procrastinate when it comes to watching it. So I am not at all surprised you found it to be a mess. I will attempt though!
☺️
