Disgustingly Romanticized

Everyone seems to love this series and you know what, if that's your personal opinion, then so be it but I can't get behind the romanticization of manipulation and excessive possessiveness. In this show, we are all supposed to feel bad for Ming and support them getting back into a relationship because he apparently loves Joe and doesn't mean to hurt him, but we forget that regardless, he still does. Mans literally ruined his career knowingly and literally kidnapped him, that isn't love, love is something where you want the other person to be happy, and all Ming cared about was himself and how he felt.

The whole "Your mine" thing, yeah that wasn't cute, that was weird. He didn't love him, he wanted to basically own him. He thought of Joe as an extension of himself and expected him to not have a life of his own, he just wanted him to cater to his needs and the rest.

I won't sit here and say the acting was bad, but I will say the characters (Ming and Tong) were borderline psychotic. The fact that y'all are standing up for Ming actually disgusts me. I don't care if the synopsis, the novel, or even the freaking author forewarned me this isn't about that this is about the fact that behaviors like Mings are being romanticized and are seen as he loves me. I didn't expect much from this drama but it was even worse than I expected.

I hope you all understand that the actions Ming displays in this show are signs of abuse, and you guys all want to call him a flawed or complex character, but he isn't just flawed or complex; this man, by far, is one of the worst I've ever seen. Would you call a real-life abuser a flawed person who just made some mistakes, no, because we understand that they do those things willingly. While this isn't real life, it's supposed to mimic it, and Ming's actions should be seen for what they are. So stop using the whole "He's a flawed character" excuse and look at his actions for what they are, abusive.

I guess he stays true to his upbringing though, rich, spoilt, and thinks everything he wants should belong to him. You say he makes the story interesting, but interesting at what cost. The whole thing with him saying that he fell in love with Joe's back isn't cutting it for me.

Another thing is how easily we grazed over the fact that he literally was harassing new Joe, he took advantage of his need for help and kept using that. Keep in mind, though we know he was old Joe, all Ming had was a hunch, and just with that he started harassing this poor guy. It was that easy. Imagine that wasn't old Joe, imagine he harassed a poor guy because he reminded him of his ex. That's sick behavior. He's an abuser who only cares about himself and doesn't care about the people he hurts as long as he gets what he wants.

Y'all romanticize relationships like this on national television, but when people actually experience them in real life, y'all are up in arms (as you should) without seeing how supporting TV shows like this have a negative impact. Put the show aside and forget about the soul swapping. If you had heard this story on the news, would you still side with Ming? and if you say you would, that just shows me how sick you are.

Complex or flawed characters aren't the only problem here, there's another one and that's the fans who hype it up while pushing aside or not even acknowledging the bigger issue here.

Good Show Done Bad

I'm so disappointed in this season for multiple reasons. For me, the first two seasons were really good and I liked the direction they took but I think the production crew let the success get to their heads because this season was nothing short of a mess. I guess this is technically reality TV so things are scripted but I hate how messy it was. In seasons 1 and 2, there was more of a friendship vibe going on meaning that even if you left there without a boyfriend you had good friends. Like last season there was Jun-seong, Yung-hee, and Hyung-jun and they were such a great trio. This season we just saw argument after argument. If Young-jun and Myeong gyun weren't fighting there was the whole situation with Jae-sung, Seong-min, and Hwi. It was truly annoying and a waste of my time. I know some people like drama in dating shows but it's personally not for me. It doesn't have to be sunshine and rainbows all the time but when it's just constantly drama after drama it gets really boring really fast. Hwi and Seung-jin were the only truly likable people they were chill and their friendship is what saved this season for me. Tbh I wouldn't recommend this to anyone if they want a cute fluffy dating show. All the tears and arguments were off-putting and I wish they could've communicated better without being unclear or trying to tear the other person's head off.

Amazing Story Overall

I really liked this. The themes portrayed in this were very good but I'll keep this review short. It was a great drama and I liked Teh's character, he was complex but I understood why he did what he did the only part I didn't like was the end he gave up his spot for Oh-aew which is cute when you think about it but very reckless. Because of his continuous reckless actions throughout the story, he lost his spot at the uni of his dreams. I can't help but say I'm a bit disappointed. But overall it was a good emotional watch and I really liked it.

Amazing Show

This show was amazing and I loved everything about it, especially the sorry line I have no complaints except for the fact that to me the main couple was kind of boring because they didn't really interest me. I liked Ha Yi Chan and Cung Ah more they were interesting and everything about their love story is just so cute. Another thing I didn't really like I that when Eun Gyeol came back to the future everything was different and now they were these rich people and I guess that's what happens when you change the past but I just feel as if it was sad that those sweet moments they had in his childhood technically didn't exist anymore. Also, the story doesn't make sense if Eun Gyeol went to the past and altered the future then when he came back to the future shouldn't he not remember his old childhood and now remember a new version with all the changes he made. Other than does small things the story is amazing and I would definitely recommend this.
