Also, what's up with the doctor and chef. Ugh im watching too many BLs.
All of our gaydars are on high alert these days. You are not alone. Yes there is something and if true, not funny thing at all, because they SK dramas, add these stories so lightly, and it looks like as if they mocking.
Why are there so so many bullies in one school. It looks like every school has many bullies. Why is it so messy.…
Almost all Korean series that has school as a primary part of plot is toxic. Sometimes I wonder, is it even true that Korean school system is this toxic, and office culture is even more toxic.
I should not assume, but It's true, for entertainment purposes they may show exaggerate part of it, but it is true, as stories are always drawn from reality.
From school rich kids to rich parents, manipulating education to benefit their children, crushing others who does not have money to education management favoring them to school gang, rape, violence and murder. What I have seen, the school life that they show, even it is exaggeration, it is sad to see how depressing it is.
I sometimes wonder the pressure that killed so many celebrities, idols, played an important role making them end their lives.
And this is just not one thing, there are unbelievable pressure on celebs and idols from their fans and we don't even realise it, before destroying a person SNS. We, fans, plays 50% role in the death of them, intentionally or unintentionally. I realised this, when I saw, Jang Jayeon, Gohara, Sullie, Jonghuyn, Cha Inha, gone without any explanation.
Ohmo... it is surprise.... but like this is wrong, if that sister's husband and chef has something going on, this is wrong because first - the typical stereotype arc for such story, second its infidelity no matter which gender it is being done with. It will become too intense later.
I hate girls and boys who doesn't confront and breakup giving the perpetrator a chance to look down on them. I just want that by six episode they confess to each other, the usual threshold of confession is episode 7 and at 10 they become lovey dovey.
For SML, regardless of how pathetic and chained dog of a life your have been, you can't blame your incompetencies on others. It was your choice to become a SLAVE. No matter how poor you were. You take shit all day, and FL is like side kick of yours, where you want to go and forget your tough life, while you are deceiving her?
I for once never thought ML was a stalker, I have been having hypocrisy issue, when a girl does, it's her obsession and not malignant, but when a boy does its stalking, not giving space and freedom? What about the SFL who literally committed suicide to make SML stay be her side.
There is no GOD who listens to people agony requesting to punish others for their won inability to come to terms that they are nothing but an ordinary human beings. However they receive their punishment by burning in their guilt, churn out of the misery of those they prayed to destroy.
I die for a series or film, that has tragedy, love and music in it. Its like perfect trio of elements that gives you laughter, tears and sense of fulfilment.
Excellent story. 3 episode with 3 excellent actors done right. In fact done well.
Rating is definitely a factor for viewers to decide on a drama. It is not, and should not be a standard, but this…
Go to your profile and give your phone number to receive a code and you will have a blue tick in front of your name once it is passes through the screening process. It should take 1 hour or less.

IMDB offers ratings on a scale of 1-10, somewhat similar scale to MDL. To count the weighted mean they use filters and different means to calculate their average ratings. They also have ballot stuffing, which cause significant difference in weighted and arithmetic mean. And thats a problem. Thats why I don't give a f to IMDB ratings.
But for IMDB ranking ratings, they use registered voters into account or a regular voter for their true ratings. And they do not disclose their current method. But they have said to maintain the effectiveness of their top films and stories, they do not disclose it.
You are right, people vote according to their personal likeness, and thats what rating system is about. You like the person you vote for, you like the drama you vote - regardless of quality, not all are critics, and not all have to be. And I am also not critic.
But when lobbying is suspected, the admins and owners of this site has access to all data, and they know when something is wrong. So thats why it should be investigated.
But a registered user must be acknowledge as a valid user, to calculate true rating, a REGISTERED USER is a valid user not a person who has a valid account.
In your case as well, you have valid account, but you have not registered yet, so please register your account, there is no harm in it.
I don't get why everyone is arguing about the rating... All dramas in the first 4-5 episodes will have high rating…
Rating is definitely a factor for viewers to decide on a drama. It is not, and should not be a standard, but this is how it is. Given the recent clean-up of MDL and rating lobbying on several dramas, it is not a surprise to see this kind of rating.
Not all drama has high ratings, ratings usually immediately went down, as people start watching it and adding it in a list. It had 8.1 rating some days ago and now 8.8, yesterday it was 8.7. This sudden surge of rating is doubtful. This does not happen often. The most talked about and watched drama right now is True Beauty and Mr. Queen, and they have 8.8 and 8.6 rating respectively. And they are close to their finale.
I am not arguing which drama is best or my personal keenness to any drama, but this is unusual for any drama to get this rating surge in a short period of time.
For example, The Untamed - because of its huge fan following, and constant lobbying of users (use can even see in comments) has 9.1 rating now. People will curse you, if you talk bad about that drama. The rating went down to 8.4 when MDL sweep their algorithm, and before sweeping it had 9.4, but even after that, the users lobbied it heavily and were able to make it to 9.1 again.
So it is sad to see, this kind of unfair rating system. Of course, people will decide which drama is bad or good, regardless of ratings, but because of this, many contents get unnoticed and this is why some people like me, have problem with ratings.
And to be honest, admins are not doing anything and they will not do anything.
But my role as a user on this site is to raise voice, and I have done that - messaged staff member, raise an issue on forum (as told) and commented here for users to follow - because thats all I could do.
First. this is not light drama. Second. chemistry was seriously off between leads. I liked the girl, but boys was out of compassion. Third. second lead, was cute, promising and actually with chemistry.
Editorial staff must investigate this ratings as a suspected lobbying.
This is highly unfair if the accounts were made to increase this ratings, in this short period, how on earth rating went from 8.1 to 8.7? I just don't understand
Is there any romance between shimok and yeojin? Or any romance in general?
No. But they are slightly fond of each other, the character Shi Mok is different what you usually expect from Korean leads, he is lead character, but you will feel he is side character many times, and thats the charm of series. No romance was needed either, because they would have to change the story, the story itself does not allow any romance.
Sublime...precious...timeless...beautiful... and a tale filled with eternal love.
I keep coming back here, and have watched countless times already. I wish all people should see this. My heart pounds every time I see these two faces so deep in love with each other, my heart breaks every time, I see Yuki waiting to go to a place where Akira is waiting for him...
I mean, the YH friend, is definitely having a crush on him and DA has already guessed it. Clever girl. But other…
It is because it was written by Miss Kim Soo-hyun, that is why it was accepted because she was already a senior writer and is known for her fierce and outspoken personality and is very rigid and controllable when it comes to her scripts. Even then they made a huge fuss about it, and last few episodes were changed when it drew intense criticism. There was a kissing scene, but they to drop it. I salute KSH. No such permission is given to todays writers.
One thing I love about this show that I've never seen another drama do is this choice to be like any of these…
I mean, the YH friend, is definitely having a crush on him and DA has already guessed it. Clever girl.
But other instances are just dialogues meant to normalize, but it is not an indication of them being fluid or something. It just that, it doesn't matter anymore and it shouldn't.
K dramas has this habit of ML's mother usually assuming their kid being gay, if they are not dating and stuff like that, which annoys me to core but as SK is moving forward BL stories, it is no longer the case. Love With Flaws, was the first series with startdust cast that featured a gay character (RIP CIH) but slowly they are normalizing it.
This is the first breakup (sort of) in K drama land, that I actually understood. And it didn't fumed me up a bit. Congrats and much thanks to writer and director for such a simple story and wonderful direction, that keep giving us warmth and honest conversations.
