The actress who plays SiBei’s mom, this is the second time I see her acting. She truly knows how to play the complex characters, she’s not all bad deep down… I’m saying this after watching tomorrow’s teasers.
I braced myself from the start after knowing the person who is playing the mother. This is literally my third…
She and the actress who plays the mom in “something in the rain” are black listed in my head. I don’t care where I’ll see them again, I’ll automatically dislike the characters they play.
thank you for reading and having the same observations. I guess mediocre shows is becoming to be the norm.
Yes, they are. I can count on one hand how many dramas I’ve completed this year. I started many to end up dropping them halfway because the writing would turn idiotic halfway, borderline cartoonish. Smart and strong fl would suddenly turn into idiots, same plot over and over but with different casts that somehow look the same or the script would become boring… it’s unfortunate.
this “have audiences grown too forgiving, choosing to idolize familiar faces rather than demand stronger narratives?” Created this “ Or have writers simply given up trying to challenge us with thought-provoking stories?”
A lot of the new wave of C and K dramas are younger, many couldn’t care less about intricate scripts as long as the actors are “hot looking”. I’ve noticed that many dramas with strong writings but average everyday looking actors don’t get a lot of support. The ones below average writing but good looking cast are accepted.
Similarly, you’ll see this with criminals in dramas. If the criminal is good looking, his crime (like stalking or SA) is more “acceptable”, the audience will find excuses to tolerate it.
Same, a little after halfway, I started skipping the main couple and everything related to them to only watch the Princess and her situation. I found her really silly but her story was more interesting than everything else.
Now I wish tragedy comes to her sooner. The writers did her dirty. At least the princess from the novel had a…
Have mercy 😣.. I appreciate this spoiler because now that Fall is upon us where I am, my mood tends to follow the weather so it’s good to prepare myself before I read the novel😬!

Thank you for the heads up 😓! I can sense the disappointment in your comments. After reading multiple times the complains of readers when they watched onscreen adaptations, I decided to read more. I’m also tired of the same style of acting, same looking actors/actresses and storytelling when it comes to onscreen dramas. Hopefully novels will grab my attention.

Thank you for the links!
You know, I’ve noticed a trend lately with historical dramas. The writers like to write a really silly female character. Either they turn a strong fl into a pathetic needy one when we reach halfway of the drama or they just write an idiotic female character from the get go. I rarely see consistent intelligent woman in these new releases. The princess was raised by the stepmother to be an idiot but princess for some reasons doesn’t have common sense on her own.

“ Just kill her already, writers”.. 😂😂😂😭🤣. She is giving us all second hand embarrassment, no self respect. Today when she removed that robe and stood there after he walked away smh. The man doesn’t want you!!
If you don’t mind, please do share the link of the novel. I’m new to reading novels, I got tired of dramas these days so I’d rather read.
I’ll join you in the boycott if they hurt the main couple 😤.

I don’t know what the writers are trying to accomplish here with her storyline. I thought that at some point the prince would realize that maybe she’s not too bad and would open up to her. Now with the library lie, I don’t see him liking her at all. The lie was unnecessary.
Yes, something needs to happen to her and take her out of her misery.
Can the princess of Susha do anything right? Stupidity after stupidity… why did she decide to lie to him about the library encounter? I have a feeling that she will end herself.
Remind me to Legend of the female General but the drama was set since 2023
Thank you for letting me know this. I didn’t enjoy Legend Of The Female General after episode 5 so hopefully, I will have a different experience with this one.
Year 2025 in dramaland taught me to not get excited until we pass the halfway mark. They lure you in with a good first 10 episodes then after that it feels like 1) the writer was writing while drunk 2) the writer stopped receiving payment and was rushed to finish the script. (I haven’t watched yet).
