I’m already anticipating some serious fan wars. Brace yourselves, because the comment section is about to turn into a battlefield, coming from someone who firsthand witnessed newtopia's. We’ve already started talking about the acting here, so consider this a little teaser ig.
My fav ships- Hee sun & su been(okay, slow burn) Go eun & i geon (chemistry, compatibility, hello?) Min gee & seung il (guys don't be messy) Min gee & su been( yes I'm delusional) Joo young & jae jin (heavy stress on the bathroom scene) Mina sue & her hair
Omg I'll go crazy if I don't rant my feelings out bcz a lot happened these three episodes. I'll just list out members that stood out to me the most and why- 1) kim min gee-i wonder how authentic her decision was to choose su been. Or was it her decision at all. anyway the timing was way off to be curious for others now. also the confrontation scene with mina sue can be seen in two lights. either brave or rude, which either way is far too upfront for an otherwise passive aggressive show. But the efficiency of the confrontation was chart topping ngl. 2) mina sue- girl, go get your flowers for being the most entertaining if not the most loved. I just feel a little worried bcz idt you can handle the hate you are getting, given how sensitive you are. But good luck. Just had to be a little more self aware, a lot more considerate and a little less prideful. 3)hyeon woo-..... Icked out. Yeah. I was very neutral about him at the start, but after that paradise date with go eun I so freaking icked out. Can he please stop rambling on about HIS feelings and acknowledge HER'S for once. He forgot how this date involves TWO people, and he acted as if it revolved around his feelings. I was so creeped out by his actions too. I could see the discomfort on go eun's face. There was no getting to know each other, just straight up uncomfortable, lame ahh pickup lines. You aren't dating mister. Ugh. learn consent. 4) sung min- same text, different font. Let the girl breath omg. Why is everyone coming on to her and dumping their feelings? Idc if that's what you are supposed to do in a show like this but that ain't it. Hogging her all to yourself ain't gonna make her like you more. a no-no fs. 5)i-geon - DAMON SALVOTRE irl. period.
I think it's because the audience has changed. A big part of the new audience doesn't care much about plot or…
i think it’s quite the opposite. It’s more about media awareness than a change in the audience itself. Just three years or so back, kdramas viewers were far more lenient with standards, but with the rise in the popularity of kdramas, expectations have naturally grown. A majority of core viewers have also evolved their taste and can now better differentiate between a good drama and a bad one. i personally think there were far worse dramas in the last decade than in the 2020s. it’s simply a matter of perspective. but i agree with you in terms of viewers playing favourites. there's a lot of toxicity in these fandoms.
Problem with the "romance" is that it was very one sided. Even after the misunderstanding was cleared,…
I think it’s more about the difference in approaches between the two leads. It was pretty obvious that the fl liked him back from day1, but she simply had different priorities than he did, and why shouldn’t she? She had a huge amount of debt and this was apparently her first job, so she prioritised that over her attraction to the ml. Comparatively the ml was more proactive and easier to read as the story progressed, not that it was one sided. I personally think the romance was pretty convincing from the get go.
I honestly don’t get the hate for this drama. Coming from someone who prioritises chemistry and romance over side plots, i absolutely adored it. The chemistry was arguably off the charts. While I do agree that the plot dragged a bit in the middle and later became stagnant, the romance really took the front seat. One of my fav dramas from last year ngl.
