Thanks for responding! A drama should be engaging and enjoyable during that one hourāthat's what truly matters, and I think this one does absolute justice to it. People should watch it with an open mindset, without carrying any baggage about how the star lead actors or actresses should be portrayed. They are performers and should have the freedom to take on diverse roles. If viewers approach it this way, theyāll find more enjoyment than disappointment.
I honestly don't understand the criticism. Yes, it's not the greatest kdrama. Yes, obviously it's not realistic,…
It's a very good drama, especially considering how difficult it is to craft a compelling plot set in space. They've done a fantastic job so far. I understand where the disappointment comes from:
1. The "cheating" part ā For me, that wasnāt cheating. It was purely a situational decision the male lead made, and that relationship was driven by physical desire, nothing more.
2. Breaking the usual norms ā The drama isnāt following the typical formula viewers expect, like openly addressing topics such as sex and other taboo subjects. But thatās the beauty of this dramaāit dares to discuss things that should be talked about, without shame. If someone approaches it with a negative mindset, theyāll interpret it negatively. Back when I was a student, we had discussions about such topics with our female teachersānot out of awkwardness but to learn and improve our understanding.
3. Unrealistic expectations ā Some viewers may have set unrealistically high expectations for this show. Personally, I had huge expectations too. While it hasnāt completely surpassed them, itās close enough, and Iām really happy with When the Stars Gossip. It doesnāt conform to the usual norms to please viewers, and thatās what makes it so much more interesting.
After watching episode 8: Oh man, what can I say? This is absolutely brilliantāso good, so satisfying! I couldnāt ask for more. The tension and the chemistry between the pair are out of this world. However, the screenplay could have been a bit more balanced, as the supporting cast hardly gets any scenes. I understand why, thoughāthe main leads are so phenomenal in their performances that itās genuinely a tough task for the editor. Honestly, Iām hooked for next week!
Yeah, I finished it. It started off really well, and I completely lost myself in watching it and waiting for the next episode. It pains me to say this, but it loses its momentum towards the end. The editing feels rough, and the emotions are inconsistent. One of the biggest drawbacks is the female lead shifting her emotions so rapidly; at times, it's overly melodramatic and slow. Plus, the cliffhangerāor rather the so-called endingāis a letdown. That said, I canāt deny that Iām still very excited for Season 2, mainly because of its unique theme, stellar performances, and stunning set design. Until then, goodbye!
If this ep, the ep6 won't skyrocket the ratings than i don't know what to comment or what else it has to do. Ep6 was absolutely brilliant, wow... i enjoyed every bit of it and can't wait for the next. šš
I wanted him to go hard too but He couldnāt without āhitting the grass and alerting the snakeā though š.
Yeah, letās see how it goes. I said I wanted him to go hard because the emotional trauma from the previous episode needed balanceāit wouldāve felt right to see him unleash. But I think itāll explode somewhere in the middle; the waterās already boiling at 150Ā°C.š
Not satisfied with the direction in this particular episode. After all that struggle, when JCY saw Mudan, where was that unwavering emotion and rage towards the general? It felt so lame, to be honest. I wanted to see him go hard, man. If the scenes had been executed better, this would have given a lot more satisfaction after all the pain and struggle we witnessed.
