If you’re counting to three and calling it an essay, no wonder your standards for critique are all over the place. Not everyone needs a paragraph to say they’re not into something - and not every opinion needs your approval to exist.

Oh no, I didn’t misunderstand - I just didn’t buy the act. If your first comment wasn’t snark, it definitely came with a side of condescension. But hey, if this is you being “clear,” at least now we know what we’re dealing with.

“Do I really have to explain this to you?” - wow, the ego jumped out. No one asked for a lecture disguised as a plot summary like you're some gatekeeping Wikipedia editor. Just because you took the time to bullet-point basic events doesn’t make the writing deep or the plot flawless it just makes you sound desperate to prove a point no one challenged that hard in the first place.

The acting was “better than most Asian dramas”? Please. That’s a lazy, backhanded compliment and borderline insulting to the entire genre. If this is your gold standard, that says more about your taste than the show’s quality.

And your “only one plot hole” take? Cute. Maybe if you stopped writing fanfiction in your head while watching, you’d notice the gaps, weak character arcs, and pacing issues people rightfully pointed out. Not everyone is going to clap just because you liked it, and calling their opinions garbage or treating them like they don’t get it doesn’t make you smart, it just makes you arrogant.

So if you're going to “explain” things, maybe try doing it without the superiority complex next time. You’re not the showrunner. Calm down.

And that final touch - “if you don’t like it, crinkle it up and toss it” - honestly, it screams I can’t take criticism unless it agrees with mine. You’re not accommodating, you're just passive-aggressive with a thesaurus.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Calling it a tantrum doesn’t make it one sometimes people just call out nonsense when they see it. If you truly own your words, maybe try owning the fact that your attitude is exactly what people are reacting to. “Not my problem” sounds like a classic way to dodge accountability.

Wow, throwing the whole ocean’s worth of insults just because someone keeps it short? Not everyone has time or patience for a mini-essay, and that doesn’t instantly make their opinion “poo.” If you want thoughtful critique, maybe try not sounding like a cranky librarian policing comments.

Neutral tone? Please. That’s just code for “I’m gonna say something shady but deny it when called out.” And trying to “wrap things up on your terms” sounds less like conversation and more like a power move. If you’re aiming for a real discussion, stop playing word games and try speaking like an adult for once.

Right, zero snark because nothing says “accommodating” like passive-aggressive jabs disguised as “just stating facts.” If you really meant what you said without any shade, you wouldn’t feel the need to offer “some snark” as if it’s a favor. Let’s skip the pretense and just be straight.

Cool story, but claiming you get paid big bucks doesn’t automatically make your critiques better or your attitude more acceptable. Enjoying the series and writing about it is fine no one’s disputing that. But acting like you’re above everyone else and don’t care about how you come across just sounds like a weak defense for dismissing valid criticism or basic respect. If you really don’t care what anyone thinks, maybe drop the defensive post and let your writing speak for itself instead of throwing shade.

Funny how you say you don’t give a rat’s azz what anyone thinks but here you are, responding anyway. If you truly didn’t care, you wouldn’t waste time posting defensively. Just own your critiques and move on, instead of pretending you’re above it all while clearly getting triggered.

“Very few plot holes” is a low bar these days, honestly. Sometimes just barely avoiding big mistakes isn’t enough to make a story truly good. Plot holes or not, there’s more to storytelling like pacing, character development, and acting that matter just as much.

Fair enough, but not everyone’s here to write a detailed essay explaining every little gripe. Sometimes a simple “I don’t like it” gets the point across just fine. Dismissing those comments as “crap” just because they’re short isn’t very open-minded. People express themselves differently, and that doesn’t automatically make their opinion invalid.

Yep, snarky and sometimes that’s exactly what’s needed to cut through all the nonsense. If being straightforward and calling things like they are feels snarky to you, then so be it. Better that than sugarcoating what everyone’s thinking.

Thank you my loves.

We are fucked then

🤣🤣🤣

It’s honestly impressive how you manage to sound so condescending while voluntarily spending time in a space you clearly claim to detest. If 90% of the comments here are “crap” and none of them come from people whose praise you value, then why are you still here reading, responding, and judging like you’re moderating some elite film symposium?

Spoiler alert: you’re not the authority on what makes a valid critique. People don’t need to write an academic breakdown to justify why they didn’t like a show. Sometimes a reaction is just that - a gut feeling, an emotional response - and guess what? That’s still valid. Not everyone is here to meet your imaginary “minimum standards” for commentary. This is a public comment section, not your personal clubhouse.

And if your biggest concern is that potential viewers might get “misguided” by the opinions here, I’ve got news for you: viewers are smart enough to form their own judgments. They don’t need you to save them from reading an opinion that isn’t dressed up in fancy critique terms. If you really can’t stand what’s being said here, no one’s forcing you to stay. Close the tab and go write your review somewhere “worthy” of your high standards. The rest of us will survive without the lecture.

No one’s expecting Downton Abbey. People just want basic consistency - decent acting, coherent writing, and direction that doesn’t feel like it was thrown together last minute. “It’s a Thai BL” isn’t an excuse for mediocrity, especially with the growing budgets and global audience. If viewers are investing time and emotions, they’re allowed to expect more than just “cute.” Fun shouldn’t come at the expense of quality.

You have the right to think a comment is crap, sure - but acting like the authority on what qualifies as valid criticism is a bit much. Not everyone needs to write an essay to explain why something doesn’t work for them. If someone says they're bored or uninterested, that is feedback -just not the kind you want. Comparing it to a kid whining about oatmeal is just condescending, and honestly, that attitude shuts down real conversation more than it encourages it.

Cool, glad you found it satisfying - but no need to be snarky about it. People are allowed to prefer the book's ending or be curious why the show changed it. Sharing opinions doesn't require talking down to others. It's a discussion, not a superiority contest.

OHHHHH I understand who the character Victor is.

I am assuming the father is Russian or maybe half Russian half Thai?
