No. You are right. I agree with your opinion. Recently Kdramas have been caught in that same web. They feel draggy and some of the concepts are becoming overused. Thats why you are seeing me here on a Cdrama page trying this out to hopefully get something new. Its not working out too well for me as you can see.
But I classify the dramas in eras. In the 90s and maybe early 00s, J-dramas were most popular asian dramas. Most people loved them. Then came 2010s to present, K-dramas became more popular. But K-dramas because they bought into that hype, they have settled on mass producing their shows. Which now has seen most of its quality go down. On the other hand, Cdramas are creating some of interesting shows. Maybe not to the level of popularity as Kdramas, but I can see their rise. Some of the recent Cdramas I have tried, I can see their projection. They have good materials just suck at execution.

Yeah, I have to agree. They mass produce Cdramas. So naturally they are easily accessible. But what about the quality? They got the right combo and you could even get that they have some of the best storylines but fail on the execution. Those fillers really kill their marketing.

Exactly, the characters aren't growing and they keep recycling the same ideas. And yeah, I don't know what trick Guardians of the Dafeng used, but it was soo good for me. Maybe its because it had too many comedic scenes that would make you laugh. But most important of all, I think they had most of the relatable characters. So even the side characters were interesting to watch.

Its interesting how many people are finding this experience relatable.

Thank you. Will definitely try out some of your recommendations.

I could swear this show was one of my favorites at the beginning. I wouldn't miss a single episode. Now, its like I don't even know anymore. But my guess is maybe the story changed so much and the chemistry between the leads got lost in my opinion. And thats what kept me watching.
But that is only a tip of the iceberg. I rarely get to finish any cdrama show. I start all excited about a cdrama but somewhere in the middle, I loose all interest. Maybe they overdo some concept, drag some bit of it or pretty much feel repetitive. I really had to literally force myself to complete who rules the world show, which was one of my favorites.
Maybe its just me, but I can't sit for most if not all modern cdramas. I find historical cdramas more enjoyable but even them, I can't sustain that interest till the end, which is now making me concerned. I can't believe that the Guardians of the Dafeng is the only show I enjoyed from the beginning to end. Its still my favorite show to date and it constantly had something to make you excited with every episode. Or maybe you can blame me because I am transitioning from Kdramas to Cdramas, which never promises to be easy. Kdramas have mastered the art of making you click to the next episode. I think they create that 'episodic' feeling to their show.
But I find Cdramas to have the best story beginning of shows. Like they start so strongly and promises you so much potential. But that feeling doesn't last long. I have dropped so many cdramas such that now I have lost count.

Its simply because the Manito was supposed to be kept a secret. But I think they were too inquisitive and in my opinion Noh Hong Chul blew things up when he started blowing people's cover. So their second day was supposed to be about exploring that mystery. So having removed the possibility of that, they now had to settle to the next part which made it finish faster than it was planned. Another reason is like you said, its star studded, so of course they must have their schedules fully packed.

I get you. But being kind to them doesn't mean I agree with their life choices. Its just because I am thinking if someone is willing to do that to their body, I think something they are missing is having positive self-esteem about themselves. So I think you can counter that by being kind to them. Which in this case doesn't mean praise them, which you were implying.

Oow, I don't even know what to say. But let's just be kind to them.

I sure hope not. I thought the FL only had an extreme body weight loss.

The only bad thing about the show is that it ends.

I loved it but mainly because of the main character's chemistry.

Why? Did she do something weird?

Started off good but felt anti-climatic towards the end. Its as if the writers ran out of ink on what to write. I am ranking it rather average only because of its beginning scenes which were interesting.

More power to you. I hope you never lose it. Because most of us started where you are. That's your charm. Because right now most of us give love that is calculated or measured since we're too scared.

Yeah, she's just brave.

Rewatching the reunion again. I am thinking how is Heesun that much in love. Somehow I am envious but I just think she's really pure. Because at my age all we care is not getting hurt by liking someone more than how to express it. She makes me think I have lived my life wrong.

The casts have already been confirmed. Now we need to get the dates. My guess it will be something August September and October.

Wait it was 2 days 1 night and they showed us a clip less than 1hour when you combine both episodes.

Dude so wise. I actually felt comforted when he said none of us have it all figured in love even the psychology doctors. And I wasn't Mina Sue.
