TKEM's screenwriter is the goddess of childish cheesy. ^^CLOY's screenwriter is far from equaling her in this…
You're welcome. ;-) You misread my list... Completed: Secret garden, heirs, on air. Almost done: DOTS. Abandoned: Goblin (it's my reference in infantilization and cheesy, especially for male characters. It's also my reference for boredom and lack of plot. I had no choice but to give up). In "on air", the most infantile character is the screenwriter (I wondered if KES was inspired by her). But the drama is pretty good. I know this screenwriter's style well enough that I don't appreciate her recent dramas anymore. When I have time, I'll watch "City Hall". I'm also curious to see the drama that made her famous in her debut "lovers in paris", if I can find it. Anyway, whatever she's doing, she's a huge success!
You're not the only one who suffered on CLOY. Managing to finish the drama was deadly boring, but I promised someone I would. I liked the rendering of North Korea. But for a story set in such a risky environment, the drama had no dramatic tension. This has a strong impact on the sentimental story, which becomes a romcom rather than a true love story full of danger. It's drama formatted to appeal to the widest possible audience, and it works!
All these dramas have a "blockbuster" policy. The financial means engaged must guarantee high ratings, and it is better to avoid taking risks. However, they will be disappointing for a small part of the audience, whose sensitivity is not satisfied with their artificial side. They must be detected, and the phenomenon of "hype" should arouse suspicion. Otherwise, you just have to watch a few scenes. In CLOY, from the very first episode, we understand the nature of the drama. I'm a bit idealistic, and I think that these blockbusters could still have a high rating but still have real quality and be inspired. Many dramas have managed to do that.
thanks for the list... better prepare for some tissues. yup it was inspiring but sad.
Your welcome! Nowadays, I tend to prefer melodramatic dramas. Or at least, with less comedy and acting that makes the story believable. I like comedy, but sometimes it's a bit too artificial, and prevents you from taking the story seriously.
So I find your article interesting, especially the conclusion: "What did I learn? Sometimes it needs to end that way. It has to be! It gave more impact and a realistic view of the drama. You will get used to it and appreciate more the journey of the story."
That's exactly right. If a work is deep and moving, a sad ending is better. It gives an aura of legend, and makes the story unforgettable. Now, I prefer sad endings, if they're well constructed and produce emotion. It's even better if there's something that creates a real thrill. "Remember: war of the son, some elements of the ending are not explicit, but the viewer has enough clues to understand. This ending is moving and shivering.
Sometimes I wish a drama had a sad ending. If I really liked the drama, the happy ending has a little something disappointing about it.
Wow, Epic trailer. I can fell chemistry. Hot! Lee Minho has explosive charisma ! Kim Go Eun voice is eargasm, Love her. Cinematography is no joke, visuals slay.
I decided to drop this drama, when I knew there'd be another season. Does this story have an ending? Or is it going to be a story that gets longer season after season? Until the drama is dropped without a sequel, the day it's no longer a hit...
The pitch of the drama is catchy, as is often the case with the adaptation of a manhwa. Unfortunately, I've noticed that stories coming from a manhwa often have the same problems: lack of depth, slowing down, plot that wears out quickly, unrealism, lack of credibility, simplistic characters. I have the feeling that manhwa writers are not as mature as scriptwriters.
I've watched the trailer: it looks like the cat is a better actor than the male lead! I'll check some scenes from "ruler, owner of the mask", to confirm this. I'm afraid that he's as unexpressive an actor as Rowon in "extraordinary you". Under these conditions, it is impossible for me to believe in a love story...
PREVIEW: First kiss scene.She kisses the cat, and unintentionally he turns into a human. :-)
End of the scene: she is so surprised that she pushes the hero out the window. Outside, she lives in a building, between the 15th and 20th floor. The hero falls into the void. Horrified, she immediately regrets her gesture, but it's too late... The hero turns into a cat during the fall, and lands unharmed. :-D
Often the first episodes of a makjang are my favorite. This is where the protagonist suffers the most, where all misfortunes and injustices fall on him. The most detestable characters completely ruin his life, everything is perfectly disgusting!

And anyone can add some dramas.
Most devastating ending I ever saw in a drama : Sandglass !
I didnt saw yet "1 liter of tears". But I will do. I'm sure it should be very sad, both ending and whole drama.
Hot! Lee Minho has explosive charisma !
Kim Go Eun voice is eargasm, Love her.
Cinematography is no joke, visuals slay.

I suppose something weird will happen, and the drama story will be twilightzoned quickly.
