The actors are good in their previous projects. But they're not amazing enough to carry the weak writing.

I always say to give it a try. I think youll get a good feel for the show from the first episode. And you'll probably figure out how the rest of the plot goes just within the first 15 minutes.

Netflix doesn't seem to understand what made K-dramas so popular and appealing outside of Korea in the first place. Seems like Netflix just threw money and basic premises from shows from other countries at Korean producers and told them to make the same shows, but with Korean actors. Of course, the Korean producers will accept all the money Netflix is willing to give them, doesn't matter if the end product is good or not.

A combination of everything, tbh. Amazing acting can save a weak plot. Or an amazing story can make up for so-so acting. But both were not very good in the first place.

So you think the people being critical are only from England and the "central United States"? lol okay.

Kim Minchul and Seo Bumjune gave the best performances and were barely there. They really made the most of the time and material they were given. Everyone else was just passable. They're solid actors, but not good enough to elevate weak material.

Yes but it should not be a surprise two or more people will be attracted to one person. Theyre not intentionally manufacturing love triangles. It's just a normal occurence on a reality dating show.

I think anyone who watched the first two seasons would expect that there will be a love triangle of some sort. So it's not really a spoiler. It'd be more of a spoiler if they came right out and said that everyone matched up in perfect pairs.

Well you can't control who they end up liking. You think it's easy to cast eight guys who will perfectly match up one-to-one?

I felt like I already knew most of the story within the first 15 minues of episode 1.

There are plenty of Korean dramas with the same plot as well. And done much better than this was.

I know many people hate the "westernized" criticism, but Netflix really thought they could cash in on Kdrama popularity and rely on the big built in audience while also trying to appeal to a "western" audience. But in reality, they're alienating the people who enjoyed Korean dramas in the first place while getting ignored by the mainstream audience they were trying to cater to.

Just remember that just because a lot of people watch something doesn't mean they all like it.

The only good thing the show did was all the gratuitous shirtless scenes. Otherwise, theres no reason to keep watching lol

He didnt even do anything to reveal what happened to his brother.

It's just rich gurl fashun

Why do you think poor In Han is unlikeable? 😢

At first, I wanted her to actually have feelings for In Ha. Then as we saw more of her, I was like, "Nevermind."

Lee Chae Min was good when Kang Ha wasn't chasing after Jae-i. But Kim Min Chul and Seo Bum June gave the strongest performances of the series. And they were barely in it.

When they were at the playground, Kang Ha asked if there was ever even one moment that she had feelings for him. She said "No. Not even once." But at the end, she said that was a lie. So basically, she did like him at some moment. Maybe even now.

When class president Ju Won basically told Kang Ha that he was prioritizing his d-ck over avenging his dead brother, I stood up and cheered.
