Great article as usual! As for dropping dramas, I try to watch at least one episode and if nothing holds my attention or there is a completely illogical scene I drop it without regret. I dropped Vincenzo after 30min when he was swindled on the way from the airport: the drama lost all credibility, even fictional, for m. And I usually do not care for fan pressure hype: you liked it, good for you, I don't like it so I don't watch it! Sue me! Or if it is so bad, I just hate watch and rant (I Married My Antifan for example). So my dropped list is huge for someone who's been watching dramas for only two years, but as you say there are plenty of titles to stream so why waste your precious time on something you do not appreciate!
How many reviews have you written so far? You are persistent in pointing out the awful trope that seems to plague lakorns! But if it is so bad, why do you keep finishing these dramas? I do not watch these series (I tried and failed!) and I admire your courage!
Too many "case of the week" episodes, superficial, no main character development, no romance, too little time given to Lee Soo Hyuk, a suicidal dog, unremarkable music, funny, tearjerker, fantasy so suspend belief and logic, easy binge watch, rushed ending! Wasted potential!
Thank you for this dissonant voice of reason, ! I was really fed up with seeing only rave reviews! Unanimous praises due to fawning over MLs' abs have been triggering my alarm bells! I needed to read this: it helps decide whether to watch this or not!
Another great review. They tackled too many issues quite superficially and completely forgot about their main characters( it looks like an US police procedural where policemen take the back burner to the "Case Of The Week".) untill last 3 episodes which was too late. What did you think of the episode with the suicidal dog? BTW- Frankly, I am unpleasantly surprised by your good ratings. I was expecting a much harsher grade considering how meticulously analytical your reviews are!
Hear, hear!!!! I slogged through the whole drama wanting to find out why everyone was raving about it! Couldn't find the reason! But I ended up discovering the second lead syndrome (this was one of the first dramas I'd seen when I jumped into this rabbit hole called Kdrama and at the time did not want to drop anything). This drama is just so bad filled with annoying and unlikable characters and incomprehensible and illogical plot! WOW, you figured the whole drama out just by watching the first episode! Now I realize just how bad it is! Thanks!
No, it definitely is NOT a masterpiece. Just an interesting drama ruined by the FL (the actress cannot act ! And is THE only one - EVER - that Lee Joon Gi had ZERO chemistry with) and fortunately saved and completely stolen by the SML Lee Soo Hyuk. I am happy you liked it so much though! It means there is a drama for each one of us: some you like while the others don't and vice vers! Nice and concise review!!!
Plenty of belief systems that have reincarnation believe you can be reincarnated into animals (or vice versa).…
I do not mind animals being reborn as people and vice versa but wasn't the RM Team founded in order to save PEOPLE not every single living being (animal, plant) who is suicidal! That is the plothole! Did I misunderstand the basic premis of this drama? See earlier episodes in which the Godess Lady explains to the Grim Reapers why she wants the RM Team!
WTF is this dog episode?!?!? Didn't they set the team up to save people & country due to low natality rate? Suicidal dog? Give me a break!!! What a waste of episode! I am just so furious: instead of giving us more backstory of our Grim reapers they are wasting time with a dog story. Moreover, apparently the dog can be reincarnated into a human so what is the point of this RM team!!!! A PLOTHOLE the size of universe! A bit of basic plot logic is needed even if it is fantasy! This went from a solid 9 drama to ZERO!!!!!
This is another gem from CH3, after The Miracle of Teddy Bear. I wonder if there are other series coming because now I am ready to watch everything they make!!!!!

Another point of view! It's as if you saw two different series! Amazing!
BTW Thank you for a great review! As usual!
