A big congratulations to the IOTNBO team! Whether they win or not, it's already a great achievement to be one of the finalist chosen by nearly 1000 industry professionals worldwide.
That's because all the people who loved the drama have already binged or watched it on air. I come to visit this…
Yup, each to their own. Nothing is going to please everybody, I've dropped plenty of super hyped shows this year including Hospital Playlist, Crash Landing, etc.
That's because all the people who loved the drama have already binged or watched it on air. I come to visit this…
Agreed. Those who loved it, aka the "real" community left positive comments, rated it highly and moved on. Now, there are more negative comments because there are people curious about the high rating and more likely to voice their criticism when they don't agree.
IOTNBO's main theme is not about mental health, but about healing and overcoming your past trauma.
Fair enough, not everything will resonate with everyone the same way. We all have our preferences, but I simply can’t watch the former because I have a strong aversion to the FL as an actress.
IOTNBO's main theme is not about mental health, but about healing and overcoming your past trauma.
Yes, that’s why I said “main theme” is about healing and that’s what the focus of the drama is about, which it stayed true to from beginning to end. The mental health part is just the back drop and setting. The actors themselves promoted it as a healing drama and even Netflix’s synopsis is about healing “ Desperate to escape from his emotional baggage and the heavy responsibility he’s had all his life, a psychiatric ward worker begins to heal with help from the unexpected—a woman who writes fairy tales but doesn’t believe in them.”
Um, all the factors you listed contribute to making something a hit. You can apply that to any popular movie or…
To me, all these factors make up a good drama. Yes, there were flaws and plot holes but the story is pretty solid with good character development. Add in the talented cast, amazing cinematography, beautiful OSTs and you have a top quality drama. The script has some very memorable lines and lessons which would make it a pretty compelling story to read as a book. Just like how the story books in the drama are currently top sellers in the fairy tale book section. I do not doubt there are high quality, low budget films out there, just like there are hole in the wall restaurants with great food. For some of us, great food alone is not enough, we want good ambiance, beautiful setting, and excellent customer service too.
I wanted to love this so much but unfortunately I'm kinda disappointed.This is bound to be a hit anyway considering…
Um, all the factors you listed contribute to making something a hit. You can apply that to any popular movie or drama. Even a movie as hugely popular as Titanic would be left lackluster without the cast, big budget cinematography and music.
I personally did not like it from the start and even left comments since early episodes. I also think the opposite…
IOTNBO is not only popular among international fans, it is also one of the buzziest dramas in Korea this year topping the content power index during its entire run.
Very good drama. Tho I'm a bit disappointed cuz this wasn't the kim so hyun grand return that I was expecting
It was everything I wanted in KSH's comeback and more. I'm glad he didn't go with a big name script writer or blockbuster for the hype. Instead he choose a quality script with high production value and worked with an amazing cast. Very happy to have discovered Oh Jung Se and Seo Ye Ji through this drama. Even the supporting cast with limited screen time was amazing and makes you root for them, like Jae Soo and Sung In.
