Lulu l ironique

I’m always looking for the Cdrama that will FINALLY appeal to me since All Is Well (a Gem) in 2018, and it’s not going to be this drama. I dropped Love 020, same for The King’s Avatar, you have to believe that the themes of the video games are not my cup of tea.
Unlike many, I find it poorly written.
It's like the modern Chinese dramas are written by the same person. I fully understand that there is certainly a strong demand for the modern Romance genre, but every time I get into it I’m always amazed at how little script quality there is. I feel like I’m watching programs for teenagers.

I found the plot of this movie quite predictable, but it still was a good movie.

That said, it doesn’t take away the beauty of the message the film wanted to share, or the way it was told. Life is made up of steps, the sweetest is love, the hardest is separation, the worst of worst are the goodbyes, and the most beautiful are the reunion.
It’s hard to say goodbye when you want to stay, complicated to laugh when you want to cry, but the most terrible thing is to forget when you want to love. All this pretty well sums up the story of our three friends.

Knowing the Writer, I don’t think it’s gonna be a love story. It’ll be more of a healing relationship a little bit like in My Mister.

As far as I’m concerned, none of those dramas would be on my top list. While some are nevertheless cute and still watchable, some others are on my list of mediocre dramas (BoF, The Heirs, Dots...)

I realize by looking at this top 10 that the dramas all have in common being romantic comedies with actors that are very popular among women of an age I bet under 30. (This does not mean that there are no exceptions.)

For me, the quality of a drama lies in its writing, in its ability to make me think, even when laughing, like Prison Playbook. I loved so many unnoticed dramas like A Poem A day, Children of nobody or my Unfamiliar family. While many were ecstatic about Penthouse, I had eyes only for Kairos.
I tend to have unpopular choices so I understand this type of list. :-P

For those like me who love reading, I highly recommend this book.

He was my favorite character in Mr Sunshine, hope to see him soon.

I really love him,

You mentioned all the reasons why I love that Writer. Her dramas never offer a Manichean view of the people and the lives they live. People are purely human, sometimes good, sometimes mean. Ceo Gu is my favorite character of all the dramas I’ve watched so far because he was real. I’ve seen a lot of people like him and situations like the ones he’s in Life too. Although he was actually just doing his job, he was seen as the bad guy by others. Because once again as in real life the Writer wants to remind us that each of us can be victim or executioner of someone depending on the context.

I must be the only one here who has no problem with this news... I don’t think Asian dramas are any better than Western dramas... As there are good and bad everywhere... There are Western masterpieces on TV that would be hard to find anywhere else, so it is also true for Asian dramas. It’s all about personal taste. I have a lot of trouble with Asian romantic codes because I often find it childish, but the fact of being aware of other genres, makes me minimize this point, I don’t generalize.

However, there is one thing that Westerners still do better than others, it is Science Fiction...

Vagabond and Arthdal are not Netflix products, they are Sbs and Tvn, it's up to those channels to create the subsequent seasons. Netflix is just the international transmitter, as is Vincenzo, Hospital Playlist and many others. In fact, if these were Netflix series, we'd already be on potential 3rd seasons, and frankly, I'm thinking it's a good thing they're not.

@ Seni Seni let's celebrate this wonderful news together...

That’s why my question was rhetorical... but thank you for the explanation.

Seeing all this, I wonder why CLOY didn’t get the same treatment? Because the characters were fictional? But if we apply the same system of thought, it would turn more dramatic than romantic, it’s not kisses they were going to share but rather balls. To each people its own history and values.

I don’t come here to judge the knets because I’ve realized over time that I’ll never be able to understand them.
The trouble with this way of doing things is taking the risk of killing the creativity of the dramatists. Many writers, producers and filmmakers will now be content to do what the audience wants without really surprising them for fear of upsetting them.
It’s a shame because I see a parallel with Chinese censorship, even if it’s perpetrated by the government.

As always, never trust MDL ratings because this drama is really beautiful... I absolutely prefer this genre than things like Dots, the Heirs, IOTNBO... It's okay everyday I realize how unpopular my tastes are. ?

For my part I didn't like almost all popular dramas... IOTNBO, Itaewon class, The Heirs and Dots (the worst for me), Master's sun, When the Camelia blooms and many more...
The last 3 years almost all my favourite dramas were not popular: Children of nobody, My unfamiliar family, the Good detective, Missing the other side, The light in your eyes.

I always decide for myself and never let MDL influence my opinions about drama.

A Poem a Day.... Kairos.... Train... Marriage Not Dating, Missing the other side, Children of nobody...

We don’t know that yet because it’s a JTBC drama. This list is only made by dramas created by Netflix.

This list is mostly made by dramas created by Netflix while HP is created by TVN and broadcast simultaneously on Netflix, like Sisyphus on JTBC or Hello, Me! on KBS.

Really?! Terminator 1 and 2 by James Cameron are Masterpiece in my eyes, I didn't waste my time looking at the sequels. It's much deeper than it looks and it's timeless.

Although I really did like the 2nd episode more than the 1st one I share the opinion of many who believe that this story doesn’t fly high and that we could have done better, nonetheless it's still watchable.

But I’m still amazed by the harshness of some of the other comments. I realize that if the drama had another actor than CSW, the reviews would be less violent because he is expected to be and remain a serious character like HSM, since Han tae Sul is childish. I mean, SO when it’s LDW or GY acting like kids in Goblin it’s cute, but when it’s CSW it’s childish?! And I also bet that if it was a Western series there wouldn’t have been too many bad reviews either because we would have said “Ah! It’s just another copy of different famous movies.” The trouble with Asian dramas except Japanese, is that we already have a preconceived idea of their script and actor that we don’t realize that we always expect the same from them, whereas the role of actors is to prove to us that they can be anyone. And the purpose of a drama is to be able to surprise us, the ideal of course is that it's in the right direction.

Did the first two episodes make an impression on me? I don't how to answer to that, I will say it's okay! But like I said yesterday, I was expecting worse, so I'm fine. Do actors suck? Absolutely not, on the contrary they nail it, I am glad to see that CSW and PSH have dared to do something different from what is still expected of them. A MILLION BRAVO TO THEM (●'◡'●)
