I fear that my standarts for dramas will be too high after finishing this
Hopefully (or unfortunately) not for me. It's a good drama, but I don't get up at night. Everything is still possible, I'm curious to see what happens next.
to those people who complained about the scene where fl touched ml's abs and calling it sexual harassment.....its…
How dare you say I have no right to complain?! Why isn't a FL like her touching my abs?! I frequent public places, swimming pools, gyms, locker rooms. She never comes for me!! I have a right to complain! :-D
How come you deleted your previous post? I thought we had a good conversation going.So to summarize, TKEM was…
It was already not obvious why the King preferred to count time using Euler's number (by reaching the 5th decimal place, it is already too late), rather than simply using: 1...2...3...4.... What a bluster!
So great, so exciting ! So, I can give you some easy words to tell :"Worst storytelling ever."If your teacher…
I have a feeling you're disappointed in Extraordinary-You too. ^^ Perhaps you can find what you felt in my little paragraphs, which are still far from evoking the whole catastrophe.
How do you expect people need to rewatch it 3 times, when the 1st time is so painful ?
I hope the drama fans don't see your comment, otherwise they're gonna come and kill me. LOL! You can read in my review all the torment you endure when you see the drama. Since I don't talk about some things related to the story, a negative review about it would be helpful for you too. And you should also try to find some positive and intelligent reviews, which talk about some positive points of the drama that I didn't have time to talk about either. ;-) Or just watch the first 4 episodes. (good luck)

Before I answer you, I went through your list. Watch W first. The guy who wrote the manhwa "extraodinary-you" was inspired by it. He took a few undeveloped secondary elements of W (essential but on which the drama didn't have time to focus), and he managed to make something out of it. What I congratulate him for was smart and interesting. Only that would have made a drama of 8 one-hour episodes. The drama is incredibly boring after the first part. Some fantastic elements are never developed or used, no plot-twist. I could have watched the first episodes and then watched the last episode without missing anything. The drama is not dramatic either, the background music gives an enchanted and wonderful side, not hectic and stressful. You are in Harry Poter, not in the Twilight Zone. But it's still good music, if you listen to it outside of the drama.
I like this drama a lot but theres just something that's just missing
That's interesting. If you think about it further, I'm curious to know what. I know it's a feeling, and it may be hard to figure out what, but it's worth being depicted.
It's so sad.My review is very precise and well-argued.Totally focused on the narrative.I didn't even mention lee…
This is misleading. It depends on how fast you have to write. For example, my positive review on Empress Ki is much too short. Maybe when I see the drama again, I'll linger longer and write something better. On the other hand, my positive review on Jang Ok Jung is very elaborate. I spent a lot of time writing it, knowing what to describe. And I forgot some things (like one of the characters in the drama which was rather badly done). But I revisited a lot of scenes from the drama. This review is probably as long or longer than TKEM's review. And you can see, my negative (not so) review of korean Liar game is rather short. Same with Kill Me Heal Me.
So, in total in the past week, there are 7 accounts all made within the past 2 days, by what appears to be the…
It's so sad. My review is very precise and well-argued. Totally focused on the narrative. I didn't even mention lee lim as a miswritten villain. There was already too much to say about the badly written script. This is the result of a long-term analysis. I rewrote it and made corrections to it. It's a lot of work.
Ratings aren’t as bad as some people are making it out to be. Disappointing, perhaps but bad? Not quite. It’s…
The best ratings are always by far those of the dailys drama. Family, makjang. Always between 20% and 30%. I'm not sure if they are still daily drama anymore, because the time slots are Saturday and Sunday. 8pm, prime time. So 4 episodes of 30 minutes, instead of 5 episodes from Monday to Friday. Prime time is of course a master asset, on a public channel in addition. But we can see that a drama like "World of the maried" had the same impact on a cable network. The drama is not a real makjang but it can look like one. With a better quality than a daily and similar themes, the impact was very strong.
What is notable is that the makjang offer at prime time morally harsher content than a drama like "Psycho is okay". There are regularly complaints about this, but as it works, you can be sure to find more and more horrible things. It's enough to be disturbed! The psychological aspect is very developed too (when it's well done), but in a different way. It doesn't go through as many subtleties as a drama like "Psycho is okay", whose content is more artistic and aesthetic. The psychology of makjang doesn't proceed by a work of disassembling and accumulating, it's raw or dependent on the live action. Maybe the audience prefers this simple and natural way of seeing the characters as they are.
On the other hand, there is less originality, sometimes characters correspond to stereotypes, and of course a cinematographic quality reduced to the basic essentials. A defect that is turned as an advantage, because the action is very clear to follow, and the simplicity of the scenes makes one think more of theatre. The spectator is never disturbed by artificial cinematic processes. This does not make life easier for the actors, who are rather good (especially the main characters). They have to sound right, fast, without much preparation, with a direction and editing that have no means to mitigate a badly played scene. It's very attractive live show, and the pace of the episodes is high, with a lot of cliffhangers.
I freaking LOVED the scene where Moon Young got out of the car and screamed 'I love you!' so many times.It was…
Since it's hard to find my way around here, I post most of the time on this blog: https://bitchesoverdramas.com/2020/06/26/psycho-but-its-okay-eps-3-4-open-thread/ Sometimes what is analysed and anticipated is right, sometimes mistakes or inaccuracies. For example: I just had an idea that the zombie boy story was related to the past of ML. But it wasn't very clear how. Thanks to your comment, I can see better. I pointed out a few more details on my side. I'm having trouble absorbing it all in one viewing. Sometimes some difficult details jump out at me, and sometimes I miss details that seem easy to detect. Unfortunately, I unintentionally omitted a lot of content from Episode 3 because I didn't like the episode. When this happens, I forget very quickly and my concentration drops.
Yeah, I don't want drop it anymore. ;-) I cross my fingers about pace and things I disliked in Ep 03 don't come back. I was wrong (for now) about the semi-procedural thing.
I just re-watched the first four episodes. The scene in episode 4 where Moon Young is lying on the floor laughing…
I was expecting this. I'm sure "Psycho is okay" is her best role, the one that sticks to her skin. Seo Ye Jin was excellent in the drama "Save Me", scenes of crying, confusion, anxiety, nervous breakdown. Unfortunately, her physique was too cold for the role. In addition, her character was poorly written. Certainly satisfying for the audience, but on closer inspection, there were problems with the character's deep nature. The relationship with the ML was poorly constructed as well. So she was always a very gifted actress. In "Lawless layer", again her character has problems, is underestimated, and the progression with the ML is badly constructed. With a backward character, the actress is limited, and with an ML actor as brilliant as Lee Jun Gi, there is very little room left for her. But I don't think any other actress could have made things better. It's not like in Scarlet Heart, where Lee Jun Gi outperforms the cast as well as UI, even though the FL character is well established.

Ep 01 : Good.
Ep 02 : Good.
Ep 03 : Bad.
Ep 04 : Excellent.
Good animation, sad story, and funny ending.
