There is a new melon but hoping it's fake as it looks so generic and something that has been done so many times already. At this point, the entire cdrama industry is creatively bankrupt
I finished this drama last week but forgot to rate it earlier. Initially, I would have given it around a 7.5 or even an 8 because of the good earlier episodes. However, there’s one issue I really can’t overlook the repeated scenes where the female lead slaps the male lead. It happens multiple times, and I found it quite off-putting.
What bothers me even more is the double standard around this trope. If the roles were reversed, like in some early 2000s dramas, there would likely be much more criticism. But since it’s the male lead on the receiving end, many people seem to ignore it or justify it, which I don’t agree with.
Because of this, I’ve had to lower my rating to below 5.
You're probably not aware, but before Netflix entered the Korean market, almost all K-dramas used to film and…
I’m not entirely certain, but I recall reading possibly on Soompi forums that the Taek character was cast as the first male role, before the other male roles. Also, since the main characters are shown being interviewed in the future, at least one of them would need to be very famous for people to be interested in their childhood. Taek is the only one portrayed as a well known celebrity, so I don’t think that aspect was changed.
She really isn’t suitable at all. And with all the negative press, what’s the point? She’s neither particularly popular nor an outstanding actress, so why go through all that trouble?
People need to have patience. Its only natural for the female lead to observe and not do much as she has nothing to do with other people in mortal realm other than male lead. Once the story shifts out of mortal realm, her character will shine more and we get to see more development for her character
I finally finished this drama. It’s a bit of a strange one to rate, I felt the initial episodes were much stronger, but after around episodes 12 to 15, it started going downhill. There are a few good moments here and there, but they’re quite rare. It seemed like they spend most of their budget for the initial episodes
I‘m so annoyed with them. Also I don’t understand why they pushed that other drama even manipulating the stats…
The same thing will happen to their future dramas. Tencent entire plan is to pump few dramas each year with lesser popular starts so to make them gain some fans and then exploit the same fans when their future dramas release and repeat the cycle
