Woman-centric dramas will always do it for me!! <333 Literally the only show that kept me interested until the end this season... So sad it's over. (':

Actually, changing movie titles so that they speak to audiences in the target countries has always been a thing, and way before Netflix was even created. And it's often not even the translators' choice, it's the original work's team who decides what they want it to be (not always, of course, and I don't know if it's the case here). I do think a lot of them aren't that great, but Plastic Beauty isn't terrible! It tells you what the story is about a bit more than "downtime," which I find pretty vague.

Yes, and a lot of it! Every episode, whenever the characters tell a story, they will show terrible-looking and inconsistent (like, their clothes will change halfway) AI-generated animations to illustrate what the story is about.

Really hope this won't turn out to be yet another "autistic = genius" drama...

Never thought I'd see a drama on the impact of "family influencers" on their kids. Very interesting!!

Coming back to this just to say I miss my favorite little duo so much. 💔 I wish I could forget about this drama and watch it all over again. Truly one of my favorites of 2025.

This show is honestly ridiculous and over the top. It would probably be unbearable to watch if it weren’t for Katase Rino’s incredible and believable acting. Her expressions and voice are so spot on that I almost start seeing her as a sixteen-year-old girl. It’s the only thing that makes the show not look like a parody to me.

Well, he is definitely "obsessive," but you can take it however you want.

Sorry to butt in when this isn't about me, but I just checked everything you pointed out in your comment, and I find your criticism very unfair. Do you work in translation? Because I'm a professional translator working in subtitling, and leaving out short lines that are not necessary to the comprehension of the plot is not only extremely common but also inevitable. You have to take into account readability when you make subtitles. No one wants to spend most of their time looking at the text. You're supposed to have enough time to go back and forth, so that you can appreciate the actual visuals and the acting while understanding what is happening. If a character is talking, and someone else says "yes" in the background, we're definitely leaving that out, because it's unnecessary. I can assure you that it doesn't have any impact on the viewers' overall enjoyment. Well, at least, it's not supposed to. If it bothers you that much, I think it's a shame, because all movies and shows translated professionally also have "skipped dialogue."

This is pretty entertaining for the most part, and I’m really enjoying Suzuka Ouji’s performance, but I think the rapping in court is going to get old pretty quickly if they do it every single episode… It also looks kinda silly to me.

Very pleasantly surprised and impressed with Iwase Yoji’s acting in Episode 4!

I don’t know why people are reacting so strongly to your comment, but I completely agree with you. From the first episode alone, I’m fortunately not getting any romance vibes, so I hope they keep it that way, because he is an absolute creep. Hopefully, it’ll be more on the psychological side of things and on how he got to that point than their actual “relationship,” if you can even call it that.

Just finished it, and it’s not! But it’s pretty fun, though.

I have to say the makeup team did an absolutely amazing job! There were so many moments where a super popular actor showed up, and it took me a few minutes to register who it was because they were unrecognizable.

No problem!! But of course, you can always form your own opinion! It's just that personally, that's not the kind of person I want to see end up with the female lead. But a lot of people will tell you that his own father's abuse explains his violent nature as a kid, so it's up to you. I'm just not open-minded enough to go past that, I guess.

When they're children, yes!

Funny how the leads get advertised as “childhood friends” everywhere when 1. they’re step-siblings and 2. even if they weren’t, I wouldn’t call someone who beats you and threatens to kill you as a kid your friend… Hopefully the drama will deviate from the novel in that aspect, or it will be unwatchable… Well, for me at least. Those who romanticize abuse will surely love it.

How can a man and a woman posing together on a poster look gay?? 😭

I'm glad I'm not the only one who found it hard to watch! The scene where Luo He pushes Zhou Wan to the ground and hits her was so unexpected, I was really taken aback. It felt almost out of place.

I started watching this for Kuroki Haru, but I have to say I'm REALLY impressed with Noro Kayo's performance in this drama! Her acting is so natural that I sometimes forget she's acting, and her emotional scenes managed to make me tear up a few times. She knows how to play a character that makes you want to root for her, which I love. I sincerely hope she'll start getting more main roles after this, because she's great.
