i never like Dylan Wang . He destroyed my favourite drama ever night 2
I became Dylan's fan because of Ever Night 2. He did the fighting scenes himself and he was awesome! He was very good looking too. Well, he still is :) I understand many viewers of the first season couldn't adjust to the change of cast in the second season.
Having read the book long before it was made into a TV series, I was very much surprised when Lee Min Ho took…
It boggles the mind because it's not the real reason his haters hate him, it's just an excuse. I've been thinking about our discussion in another thread and you have a point, the real reason is because he became massively popular, especially overseas, overtaking their idols, the real reason is ENVY.
As example: because Boys over flowers (watched last year) i hate Lee min ho. This year i started The Heirs (as…
What do you think of this comment I read about LMH haters: 'wonder if his bullies (LMH haters) saw themselves in his characters and their self-hatred somehow twisted into hatred for the actor.

Try to separate the actor from the role. Anyway, though the ML in BOF started off as a bully, his transformation from bully to a sweetheart is one of the major sub-stories of the drama
Have you noticed both of these dramas star the same actor? The hapless fellow is one of the most bullied actors…
I did notice it when I watched the second drama. I sensed an anti-fan vibe then. Your analysis of why the actor got bullied is insightful. Another reason I can think of for why the actor got bullied is that some viewers can't separate actors from their roles. And for some mysterious reason, they have ignored the fact that the MLs in the dramas grew out of their bullying ways and became sweethearts in the end.
There was one comment here that intrigued me. It posited that viewers are just feeling nostalgic about old kdramas and if Boys Over Flowers and The Heirs are shown today, they would get the lowest scores. So I watched the dramas and this is what I found out: Boys Over Flowers mesmerized me throughout. Well, I found the FL too loud at first but her transformation from uncouth to ladylike is riveting. But the best transformation is that of the ML, from a bully to a sweetheart. I love dramas that show a character's growth and this one showed not just one but at least two characters undergoing dramatic growths. And the OST is one of the best I've heard in kdramas. I see why this drama holds a special place in viewers' hearts. As for The Heirs. I found the FL too melodramatic, with such a victim mentality that made the ML look more a bully than he is. As in Boys Over Flowers, the ML is just confused and clueless about how to treat somebody he cares about. I can thus see how his character could be misunderstood. But again, the growths of these characters are fantastic though angsty. But perhaps angst is what is missing in new kdramas? The credible transformation of a character that starts off villainous and ends up being a sweetheart entails a lot of angst. But it seems audiences nowadays complain about too much angst. So, kdrama producers are in a quandary: when they put a lot of angst, audiences complain. But a drama with no or minimal angst risks becoming flat and boring. After all, where there is no pain, there is no glory. In summary, It's not nostalgia. These "old" kdramas are really good. They drew me in and tugged at my heartstrings. They're angsty but perhaps it's the angst that made them compelling.
i am going to say this. i'm sorry but MOST of you guys only care about the "nostalgia" of these 'old original…
