i don't understand the fangirls of Gu
What i liked:the historical setting
the story at large, but i would have done things differently. Sometimes there were too many subplots, that could have had more depth. Also it often felt unrealistic and the characters acted unprofessionally. So some things just looked fake and too simplistic or one sided.
the actors are great
the comedy: i am going to come back for this one
the set and costumes
i didn't like
the character development: so they made the 2nd male lead perfect and the storyline shipped him with the female lead, just to abunden the whole thing in the second half of the drama, and act like nothing happened. Also second ml has a lot of moments when he looks like he knows she is a woman but then we find out later that he still has no idea. that was unbelievable.
ml character glorification: thats partly the fault of the other viewers. The first moment he appeared on screen he wanted to abduct a woman, then he continues to be a bully until he finds out fl is a girl. Then he suddenly head over heels in love, but that doesn't stop him to be posessive, manipulative, constantly interfering in fl business, dragging, pushing her around. Yeah he is also helping her but i wish we would see her getting out of sticky situations on her own instead. I wouldn't mind all that since he is growing and otherwise a quite interesting character, it is just that everyone only comments on how cute he is. Am i the only one who thinks he is annoying?
consequently i also don't like ml and fl lead romance. Even the fl always looks annoyed and irritated with him 80% of the time. i am not here for the romance but it still bugged me
the depiction of killing: we even have a storyline where a teen girl sees someone murder a group of people and fells in love with him
the music is too repetitive
