Bro, Dohwi is such a standard for taking care of her in coma while waiting for her to wake up. Bro is becoming…
Ha Na didn't end up with So Moon in the webtoon. Why would she in the drama? They used to be a fake "couple" to make the "grandparents" happy. They weren't and aren't interested in each other
"... but he moved his hands away unknowingly or on purpose?" I let out a delighted squeak when I saw So Moon's…
Don't melon milk candies mix synthetic substances to develop the varied flavors? The oils break them down. It's not fresh melon or milk, or it would go bad very quickly
Did you guys see the scene where that Hana lowkey want to hold Somun hand to calm him down when he’s arguing…
"... but he moved his hands away unknowingly or on purpose?"
I let out a delighted squeak when I saw So Moon's subconscious or conscious mind rejecting Ha Na's advances. He's spotted other things that he’d rather be interested in
A decent, good drama doesn't need kisses. You wouldn't want or need kisses in a decent, good drama. People, yourself included, were desperate for kisses here
Conclusion: King of Land is not a decent, good drama. It's not worth watching
why do you care so much? iinda rude to degrade "idol-romance"
Why do you care that they care?
Fans of so-called "romance" degrade other genres. They don't give something a chance, if there's no so-called "romance" somewhere. It's not rude to treat your favorite genre how other genres have been treated
Can we talk about Dong Joo? I understand why viewers are mad at him. He stole someone else's work and passed off…
"Of all the TERRIBLE main characters we already got in the history of kdrama... This is the one they choose to lecture? Someone who actually acts realistic? Are people THIS dense?"
You worded it perfectly! Dong Joo has redeeming qualities that differentiate him from a morally deficient person. He feels shame, regret and frustration. A morally deficient person wouldn't have felt that way

They are different. My analogy was a comparison between two very different and unrelated things to highlight the similarity (theft) between them
"He stole for himself"
Dong Joo was told that he's not good enough to be a writer. He was unhappy and unsatisfied with himself. There was one way to live up to his and everyone else's expectations; to steal someone else's work. More than selfish, he's highly sensitive to perceived rejection by others. He creates a false sense of self and lies to avoid confrontations with the truth that he's not a gifted writer. "Untalented" and "insecure" is a recipe for disaster
Personally, I have a low self-esteem. I put myself in his shoes and asked myself, "would I have done the same despicable thing?"
What about you? Was your work personally plagiarized or stolen? Is that where your feelings come from?
Idk what to say i just found it extremely cute. If you're having a bad day, you binge watch it and boom. You'll…
People: MLs had no chemistry! Translation: MLs didn't kiss and have sex at first sight!
I'm starting to believe that's what they mean? Like, I'm sorry the leads have personalities? The ship took longer to sail, but it didn't take THAT long. The leads weren't stuck on an annoying merry-go-round. From the first episode, their eyes conveyed the body language of love and their interactions were more than the sum of their separate contributions to the relationship. They were drinking in each other's features with their eyes. The chemistry was there, and they looked good together
People should chill. This platform is for us to express our opinions. A person may agree or disagree with your opinions entirely. Don't come here to talk shit about the drama or say the leads have no chemistry if you don't want anyone to disagree or say they DO have chemistry

Exactly! Dong Joo blurs the line between "hero" and "villain." His heart is in the right place. He will come clean, I'm sure
Morality isn't always black and white in reality. It's in fiction that characters are always moral or always immoral. Morally ambiguous or grey characters end up shifting to one side or the other

A person's circumstances can be a factor in moral evaluation. Consider the famous 14th-century English ballads about Robin Hood that describe a legendary outlaw. He stole from the rich and gave to the poor. And he's seen as a hero. Why is that? Because some people excuse the kind of theft driven by deplorable economic conditions. The rich, governments and corporations steal from the lower classes all the time. Theft is only a crime for us
We can hold Dong Joo punishable for his error and feel terrible for him that things turned out this way. On seeing his circumstances, I feel pity for him
Yes, a superhero drama. It just needs romance now.
It doesn't need any. It needs everyone to stop making ridiculous demands when the so-called "romance" genre recycles the same scripts and tropes everytime. It's gotten old
That's not true :( The MLs have more chemistry than everyone else. Way more than the MLs and FLs from "straight"…
Physical displays of love matter as much as words of affirmation, acts of service, quality time and gifts
I could see the chemistry, though. Up until episode 7, the MLs connected emotionally and mentally. Words of affirmation, quality time, active listening, gay eye contact and full presence were their love language and prioritized hallmarks in their relationship. They were always down to hang out
Their love got lost in translation when they spoke different love languages. And episodes 7 and 8 fixed that problem. They confessed and connected physically. The warmth and comfort that came with their kisses was incredibly affirming

I'm glad to hear that
Tae Ri is a talented Queen who can act. She can play a villain and a hero, and be brilliant at both

I want the MLs to be vers. Top and bottom. They'd have the best of both worlds :D
