The constant confusion about "Romance as a genre".The word "Romance" simply means "Rome"…
Interesting breakdown, but I don't agree that it applies here. I think that's a stretch, made merely for the sake of justifying something. In contemporary popular literature and media, romance as a 'tag' nearly always applies to some sort of interpersonal relationship with love/affection undertones at the very least. You can argue about the semiotics all you want, but in drama culture, the romance genre or 'tag' has always connoted something very specific.
From the comments it seems that this show does not have romance at all. Why is the romance tag in the genres then? Is there any way it can be removed, so that it doesn't mislead others?
I’m feeling a similar way. I’ve just finished episode 4 but I feel like I’m still waiting for it to start.…
Yes, a huge disappointment. While many of my favourite dramas happen to be Netflix ones, they are the rare few. I wish we would just keep getting the kbs/sbs/jtbc/tvn dramas. The netflix intervention has not only cut down on episodes (and valuable plot development) but also turned each show into something like colourful plastic.
Listen…… there are surely people here with agendas who are antifans of the actors but I promise you a lot…
Agreed. Also loved your last point; cdramas (contemporary) have improved their color grading drastically, and are such a treat to watch now. While some kdramas are taking on that plastic, netflix show look which really removes any sense of atmosphere.
Nah every drama i been anticipating is cheeks according to all the comments 😭 is this one worth a watch?
it's an okay watch, but don't expect an unforgettable script or performance. I'm not done yet, but this is how it is so far. It seems like fanservice tbh
So, nay, I presume? The opinions here are so divisive. I was thinking of watching it for the rest of the cast.
Not done with it yet, but it's an okay show. Nothing spectacular. What annoys me is the multitude of people who are giving credit where it isn't due. Someone replied to this comment calling me a misogynist 😂I don't see their comments anymore so I can only imagine what happened to them.
That's a very bold accusation to make, and there is no grounds for it. I would advise you to get acquainted with reality quickly. You cannot accuse people of anything you like in real life. I won't bother defending myself because it is a ridiculous claim you have made.
Me 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️ My fatigue is real. And strangely enough Jinyoung in particular…
You seem to have some sort of assumption that I think scripts that focus on female characters' stories/lives is in some way inferior. I don't, and one visit to my profile will show you that most of the shows I recommend are female-centric. However, I disagree with you about Hosu's character being well-written and developed. I think in comparison to Miji and Mirae's it was sloppily executed. Not that it didn't move me. I adore the show. But from the few shows of his I've watched, I have noticed a trend of his characters' arcs revolving around the female lead. That is what I mean by outshined, because as an actor he seems to be picking such roles that will not allow him to 'shine'.
He is clever, resourceful, hard working and encouraging - he is definitely not an idiot
I didn't mean idiot in a derogatory way :) It's a term of endearment for someone who does so much for others rather than themselves where I come from. I wouldn't call him stupid at all, especially seeing how the characters in the show mistreat him so much because they believe he is intellectually impaired.
It all started when Netflix got involved in South Korean productions. Seasons that take years to air, 12 episode…
Yesss, the overexplained plot twist makes me roll my eyes. It feels like someone who made a joke and is nudging the people around, asking if they got it. And the flashbacks are awful too. Why rely on those to explain yourself? It shows a lack of confidence in your writing.
I still don't think it warrants it, but okay
What annoys me is the multitude of people who are giving credit where it isn't due.
