MJ knows that the others are a little unhinged and he and Lady Eom lets them do stuff as long as it doesn't ruin…
i agree with what the commenter above said. i think that what you said is right. because nothing has happened to him yet (physically) it's more than that. it's a mind game plus the horror of like...body parts and being killed etc. theyr'e really really really trying to make him crazy (i think i heard that charles manson's cult--which is terrible btw--would like go into ppls houses and rearrange their furniture...can u imagine. the slightest things are off but you KNOW theyre off and you havent touched it)
i think (hopefully) we will all be satisfied! we'd want it to end and be good with shorter eps than annoyed with longer eps. it'll be the perfect end to this crazy horror show we're enjoying haha
Even tho SWDBS is full of flaws and awful BS, the MC was so much more sensitive. And iirc she gives him a backhug which i love. Idk she reigns the rship which is why i like them so much in that dumb show.
There are few of these! More shows with sensitive ML’s and women who are at the front. I think a lot of Jealousy incarnatw did this just by the nature of it, she takes care of him thru 2 things that are “humiliating” to one’s masculinity. Pretty cool imo
i really need to watch woman of dignity. kim sun ah picks some really interesting characters. although i found…
For sure! I have seen a lot of KSA’s work. I admire her for her stature and size and talent. Kim sam soon is probably the worst thing ive ever seen LOL but this was me watching in like 2014? So things had changed. City Hall is still a beloved drama to me.
HTJ was something else. I understood her but for me the frustration was how intelligent but frickin stupid she was being. But imo thats the whole show.
I recently realized the writer was a woman and looked at her other work and the dialogue is riddled with clues about the women and their place in the world. Young Eun soo had to be the greatest example, perhaps a mix of yeo jin and yeon jae (now that i think about it their names are kinda similar!) but yea so glad u put her there. First time i saw it ahe rly confused me then i Realized. Hopefully more ppl come to like her!
Yes to Hina Kudo.Cha woo Kyung from Children of Nobody, Park Bo Ja from Woman of Dignity, Lee Eun Jee from Ms…
i really need to watch woman of dignity. kim sun ah picks some really interesting characters. although i found watcher exhausting, han tae joo was so interesting and so vulnerable and messed up and weird.
young eun soo is one of THE best female characters i have seen. all women in that drama are phenomenal, but young eun soo's arc is almost unbelievable. i will never forget the conversation with seo dong jae and she says, "i'm not afraid to die" while his response is "well, i am." what an interesting group of women. i love that show alot.
go hye ran is an exercise in female characters that are characterized as strong that i, personally, see as incredibly weak and awful humans unbearable to watch. feel the same with ma yi deum. my approach to female characters and their strengths is balanced by weakness but their inevitable character arc. women behaving as disgustingly as men isn't what i believe is a strong character. in fact, oftentimes it's the ones that are aware of their circumstance and find the ways out of it.
over the years there's been a few that i really love.
as of right now, 'be melo' is showing some very strange but cool women. i think the first drama i had ever seen that had a female character that was truly autonomous was 'protect the boss.' it's not an amazing drama but i have kept it in my heart for this reason.
and i am echoing children of nobody and stranger. 'stranger' has some of the best written women i've ever seen and it's taken me about 6 rewatches to truly get a handle on what that writer was trying to do. almost every single interaction these women have with others and each other highlights the male domination they're living in. i think it's an extraordinary feat.
also 'save me' s1 has one of the most interesting female leads i have EVER seen. seo ye ji is fascinating and so is the right-hand woman to the leader.
i think we have to redefine what makes good and strong female characters. when there's a writer that can understand how complex we [women] are and writes all types of them (stranger for example, but for a much lighter example let's say the female characters from inspector jo--weird, shrill, peculiar, FUN), we can feel it.
hmmm who else. there are a lot of examples, it just sucks that we have to search for them. alternatively, there are a lot of weak willed female characters that are as unbearable as the "strong" ones that i dislike. i think a lot of the people here are women, so we are all strongly identifying with them!
oooh and what about cool/interesting/strong teenagers? solomon's perjury comes to mind
To be honest, I'm on the fence here after watching ep 14 Part of me hates that the "Big Old Turtle :D" was him,…
honestly i wasn't surprised but not in the ~im so good at mysteries~ but it's just that he was always a frickin weirdo. i still dont quite understand wtf is up--he works as a killer right? or leads the gang? idk i havent finished ep 14 bc i'm starting from ep 6 to pick up on all the things i've missed.
these "twists" would have been better if they were handled better tbh. but i do think the show was like "oh yall THOT" lmao
Kim Young Goon's stupidity will force me to low score the show at the end. A police officer dealing with such…
all of them have seriously dropped the ball so often. when he was in the house and THE SHOWER WAS RUNNING he should /not/ have been shocked. then again why the hell didn't they both know they never talked to each other on th ephone? it's just shit like this that is so annoying.
this show is so interesting and it's clear it has a hooking point. i want to know the answers. but it's got a big issue in the presentation and just simply presenting questions and "complex situations" and not answering them. it's hard to watch every week though it's definitely gonna be best as a binge. i wouldn't give it this high of a rating tbh, but i understand it and the allure. i've rewatched episodes quite a bit. so i guess still being entertaining at the least while having this many holes is a testament.
the question i pose is: is this good writing or did they think this was good writing and make a practically unsolvable confusing case. i never struggled with the decisions our characters made, i struggled with the basis of it.
