I see where you’re coming from. However, my views are only based on this drama’s particular story line. I…
I too understand the criticisms you've given to this drama. To be completely honest, they should have just finished everything in 1 season after adding maybe 2-4 episodes. They should have decided to either have a happy or tragic ending, but instead chose to try do both, failing miserably.
While I agree with some of your takes, I think some of your opinions are too clouded by the idea that female characters in 2022-2023 always need to be represented to be strong.
While in recent years there have been a decent amount of strong female representations in films, I don't think it needs to be pushed to make a good story. I do agree that this drama's story in particular could have used a bit more action and help from the female characters like Jin Bu Yeon/ Naksu but this is in no way the reason why the drama failed to live up to expectations. I just think the mentality of having strong male characters and weaker female characters automatically pointing to misogyny is too biased. You might call me misogynistic by saying this but this drama shouldn't be judged this critically from the way they interpreted and represented women. If you come into a drama already looking for these kinds of things, you're setting yourself up to not enjoy what you're watching. This is just my opinion but I think you should watch dramas with a more casual mindset. <3
I'm not much into any sort of movies, so I'm not too familiar with this one. Just to make sure, do I need to watch the Outlaws before I watch this one? I just happened to see this movie trend on Netflix so I got curious.
Am I the only one thinking why that mfer Jin Mu still holds a position instead of being locked behind bars? He was literally caught in the act in season 1 and didn't do shit with his act of trying to capture Naksu. Is it just because of his connection with the crown prince? or am I just missing something since season 1 ended a few months ago and I can't remember what happened?
What's up with the low rating? Trying to watch dramas again after almost a 3-month break, and seeing the trailer of this show managed to pique my interest.
