You’re arguing against things I never even said. I never said toxic fans or harassment are normal, I was talking about basic co-star interactions and promotion culture in the entertainment industry. At this point, this conversation is clearly going nowhere, so I’d rather end it here

Ohh I had no idea I only asked because I suddenly saw people talking about a special episode

Happy birthday IU!

Happy birthday my queen IU 💗

Maybe the emotional tone or the chemistry just didn’t connect with you personally the same way it did for others

agree with you. The same cycle already happened after episode 9 where people immediately declared the drama ruined, only for opinions to calm down again later. At this point, it really does feel like some viewers are reacting to every unexpected development as if it completely erases all the strengths the drama had before.

And I also noticed that outside of MDL, the reception feels much more balanced and positive overall. People are still praising the performances, emotional scenes, cinematography, soundtrack, and character dynamics, while here the discussions sometimes feel overwhelmingly negative to the point where it barely feels like normal criticism anymore

some people felt the second half became rushed, but I also don’t think the drama would still have this much engagement if viewers felt absolutely nothing while watching it

I can understand being frustrated with certain writing choices or plot holes, but personally I don’t think the story was completely meaningless or nonsensical either. And regardless of how people feel about the script, I still think the actors delivered strong performances that deserve credit on their own

I do think their performances and screen presence carried a huge part of the drama, but personally I wouldn’t say the writing was completely terrible either

Yeah exactly, I think the drama’s atmosphere and cinematic feel carried a lot of emotional weight even when the story itself wasn’t always perfect

Is there any special episode? well I didn’t know about that

Personally, I liked the emotional atmosphere, cinematography, soundtrack, and the way the drama handled emotional tension and character dynamics. Obviously I can’t say It’s a perfect drama, but I can still understand why many people connected with it emotionally

Exactly especially certain angles and expressions, they genuinely look like they could be siblings

I can actually kind of see the Kim Min Seok resemblance in that scene too especially with the tired eyes and styling. But I still mostly see Song Joong-ki in some angles

She kind of looks like a female version of Song Joong-ki if he were a woman

Exactly that’s what surprised me too people can dislike episode 11, but the way some suddenly started acting like the entire drama was always terrible feels really overdramatic to me

Well this drama was never really promoted as a BL in the first place I think people got confused because the FL writes BL stories, but the actual romance in the drama itself is still straight

2016??

I honestly agree. People have every right to dislike the direction episode 11 took, but acting like one episode suddenly erases all the emotional build-up, performances, cinematography, and good moments from the previous episodes feels really exaggerated to me. The drama definitely has flaws, but the reactions lately feel much harsher than the actual quality of the show

The ending was unexpected omg!!!
