yep same 😭

unfortunately yes(((((

I have the same issue, I finished 9 episodes and I really don't know if I should continue. Everybody says is such a good drama and the reviews are all praising lol but i'm like ...staring into the void right now.... I'll give it a few more episodes and if it's not it, then it's not it 🤷‍♀️

I agree, it's one thing if it's a forced kiss ( not that it's ok of course, but given the genre also not surprising) but I'm on ep.8 and there are one too many , I just can't, it's making me feel super conflicted lmao
I'll give it a few more episodes maybe it gets better cause again, I knew what I was getting into ....

Ok finally started this, omg, the drama runners smoked a whole arsenal or mushrooms with this one ahahaha and yeah totally guilty pleasure and all but dang, consent it a thing 😭

Totally agree. At the end of the day, it’s just nicer when people can disagree without it getting personal. It really does make the whole experience more enjoyable for everyone.

I actually had a similar experience in The Princess Royal comment section a while back — things got so aggressive there that I ended up taking a bit of a break from MDL altogether.
Sometimes when it starts feeling exhausting, I switch to watching on Viki with the timed comments instead (if the drama I want to watch is available there). Those can be chaotic, but they’re often hilarious and way lighter in vibe.

🙌

Fair. I’ve definitely had my share of trying to debate with people where it feels like talking to a wall. Very few are actually interested in having a constructive discussion — most just want to be right. I’m the same as you: if I see people being inappropriate, irrelevant, or clearly just trying to stir things up, I usually block and move on. Sometimes it honestly feels like ragebait or boredom more than anything else.

I’ve blocked several users in different comment sections who, based on their comments, clearly haven’t even watched the drama and are just posting hateful or sexist takes. That kind of thing is obviously not what anyone is talking about when we say “different opinions.”

At the same time, I’ve also seen people say pretty normal things — like being disappointed, not feeling the chemistry, or just not connecting with the story — and they still get completely swamped by hate. It’s like some people feel the need to police the entire comment section, and God forbid someone has a different take (this is what made me write my original post in the first place).

I get that there’s a huge mix of cultures, ages, and personalities, and some people just lack tact. But at the end of the day, we’re all here to enjoy the experience. Disagreeing is part of that. Turning it into personal attacks is where it stops being fun for anyone.

The first episodes are quite chaotic but the FL's character doesn't change that much in my opinion (I'm on ep.17), just her dynamic with the ML becomes more steady and engaging so I don't know, I'd say give it a few more eps and if you're still struggling maybe it's not worth forcing it.

Yes, that’s definitely another part of it.
I’ve noticed this with almost every drama where the same ML/FL have back-to-back projects. I usually just ignore those comments because, like I said, we all have different opinions — and just because someone’s take doesn’t align with mine doesn’t mean it shouldn’t exist.

Also, comparisons are honestly normal. Are they reasonable? Not at all. But they are human. When people get emotionally attached to one drama, it can feel too soon to jump into another with the same lead a few days later. I’m the same way — that’s actually why I waited a week before starting this one.

And honestly, the platforms and production companies definitely know what they’re doing when they release back-to-back dramas like this. They know people will compare, rant, and debate — and all of that is engagement. Engagement means more visibility, more views, and ultimately they benefit from it. So in a way, this whole dynamic is kind of baked into the system.

I’m really enjoying this drama, and I loved LBL too. It doesn’t really bother me if people come in to rant — I just scroll past it. Maybe they need more time, maybe they need to let it unfold, maybe it’s just not their cup of tea. Or maybe, like you said, some people bash one drama to elevate another (this one is mind boggling indeed).

I think we’d all benefit from being a little more kind, patient, and tolerant (within reason, of course). People say they want open-minded spaces, but seems like that only applies until their favourite thing feels even slightly threatened. At the end of the day, it’s a drama — we can all relax a little and let people have their feelings about it.

Thank you 🤩 and agreed about down-voting a drama just to promote another one - some people have way too much free time 😂

Controversial take, but I feel like this needs to be said. I’ve noticed in a lot of comment sections (including this one) that people who don’t find a drama engaging — or who share something they didn’t like — often get met with a surprising amount of hostility.

To be clear, I’m talking about people who are sharing their opinions in a normal, respectful way — not being nasty, insulting, or attacking anyone. This is a comment section. People are allowed to have different opinions. Not loving a drama (or criticising parts of it) doesn’t make someone negative or a “hater.” You can absolutely enjoy a show overall and still have honest critiques — that’s normal and part of having real discussions.

What’s discouraging is seeing people get piled on or bullied just for sharing an honest opinion. That kind of toxicity makes others hesitant to speak up at all, which defeats the whole point of having a space for discussion.

We don’t all have to agree. As long as people aren’t being nasty or attacking others, different takes should be welcome. It’s unrealistic to expect everyone to be rainbows and sunshine about everything — and that’s okay.

ok my bad.

Totally fair.
I honestly think she would’ve said everything way earlier if the system had allowed her, but oh well, we wouldn’t have the drama otherwise 😅

I do wish she’d pick a direction and stick with it though, but when it comes to feelings — especially in dramas — they’re always messy and complicated. I’m really enjoying their dynamic a lot too, especially from ep.16 onward.

I think she definitely starts to care first, but he’s the one who falls first — with real, genuine feelings. That’s at least the impression I’ve gotten so far (I’m on episode 17).

lmao same 🤣🤣🤣

Honestly, I get the frustration. The whole “no one communicates so everything explodes” trope is doing a LOT of heavy lifting here 😭

At the same time, I feel like that’s kind of the point of this drama? It’s almost a parody of the genre with all the classic tropes turned up to max, so it ends up being predictable and lowkey painful to watch sometimes (at least for me).

I’m still enjoying it mostly for the vibes and the leads. They’re fun and cute, but right now they’re giving me more bestie chemistry than full-on romantic one. Visually cute, yes — emotionally convincing as a couple, not fully there yet.

So yeah, I totally see why you’d be disappointed, even if I’m still along for the messy ride. Plus, unless it has a majorly complex plot, no modern drama really needs 24 episodes if you ask me...

Just started this and the FL is cracking me up 🤣🤣🤣
