Not moving on and going back like a simo is two different things . People can understand you can get hurt and…
Wow, you completely missed the point of my comment. First of all, the ml never ‘went back like a simp.’ That literally didn’t happen in the drama. And just to be clear, a simp is someone who chases after a person who doesn’t want them(she wants him too c'mon), humiliates themselves for attention, or does ANYTHING for their affection.The ml didn’t chase her, didn’t beg, didn’t follow her around, and didn’t try to win her back. He simply didn’t move on and was heartbroken(very normal). It ISN'T simping. You’re judging the story based on what YOU think SHOULD happen morally, not what ACTUALLY happens irl or in the drama. About the fl, she didn’t come back because her husband cheated. She came back because of that article event that pulled her into the situation. And the drama hasn’t even revealed the full backstory yet. It’s way too early to dump all the blame on her when we don’t know what happened. my whole point was that you shouldn’t mix real life moral expectations with fictional romcom logic. These stories exaggerate emotions, that’s the genre. You don’t HAVE to like the trope, and it’s fair if you personally find it unappealing, but that’s where reasonable criticism ends.
I mean they’re obviously going to talk things out before getting back together. Right now, calling the ml a ‘simp’ or acting like the fl is using him is just jumping to conclusions based on assumptions.
Woah, I watched the drama and genuinely had fun with it, so opening the comments felt... surprising to say the least. I didn’t expect people to take a rom-com(is it tho?) THIS seriously. These stories have always exaggerated emotions to create drama and that’s the whole point. And honestly, this one is pretty tame compared to some of the actual pathetic things we’ve seen in romance plots.
People acting like the ML not moving on is unrealistic is wild to me. I’ve seen way worse in real life than a guy keeping a shirt and not moving on from an ex. And it’s not like he has no personality outside his feelings, he’s just a lover boy, not obsessive.
Sure, irl you might cringe at someone not moving on, but that’s why it’s fiction. I get why some viewers don’t like his behaviour and find it unappealing, and for me that’s where the criticism ends. Calling it “bad writing” or “romanticising toxicity” feels like people are stretching just to be mad. The FL isn’t using him but has lingering good feelings(not necessarily romantic). People move on at different speeds. It happens. Everyone has different tolerance levels for certain tropes, and that’s fine. I’m just surprised by how dramatic the backlash is, especially when the story itself isn’t anywhere near as deep or scandalous as people are making it out to be.
The thing about watching a group of best friends is that no matter what they do, it always turns out funny, and no one cares about putting up a front. That’s one of the reasons I love watching them.
While rewatching this drama after two years of improving my understanding of acting, I’ve really come to appreciate Luo Yunxi’s performance more.The way he conveys emotions is incredibly intricate, and I actually feel a bit apologetic that I didn’t notice it during my first watch. this man is truly an underrated actor AND one of the best in the industry, I must say.
the zombie game had no business being this funny. absolutely diabolical of a show. loved every second of it!!! i especially like it because i love the wildlife and i can always trust Na Young Seok for a good variety show.
This is literally one of my most annoying watches ever. Please someone give Joe a spine. I couldn’t even get past four episodes because of how frustrated I was watching Joe let Ming walk all over him. Bud is worse than a doormat at this point like wdym this Ming guy can drag you around like a doll and you still can’t fight back, even though you’re literally a stuntman? Such a waste of good acting and production. 2/10 - 1 for acting and 1 for production. Never mind it's 0/10 this was ass (I'm just annoyed don't mind me)
I can’t even say she’s badass because she’s scary af. In real life, she’s the kind of person you’d want to stay miles away from. Honestly, this is the only time I’ve actually felt that a character is a sociopath and has acted accordingly. I had to remind myself over and over again that she isn’t normal and doesn’t think like a regular person, so I can’t apply the same moral compass to her as I would to humans. Also, love that it's fast paced so it's more palatable.
I think a low rating might deter more people from watching.
Buddy, people watch shows based on the synopsis ,that’s the whole point of even having one. I’m not saying ratings and reviews don’t have an influence, but figuring out whether a show is for you or not is done through the synopsis. And here, it does a bad job of that because it’s so generic and not appealing, even to the target audience.
I'm sorry, but the casting?? Respectfully, Lee Jae Wook just isn’t meant for these kinds of roles. He’s a good actor, sure, but I’m having a hard time imagining him as the “first crush” type. Like, do an action movie, sir. Be a delinquent, even bully people. Even in "extraordinary you" he suited the role. Well, that’s just my personal opinion but apart from that, this is so incredibly boring. I’m getting "Love Next Door" flashbacks, but at least the casting was good there, and it was bearably funny too, unlike here. :s
Everything about the show was satisfactory except for the acting. Only a few of the main cast delivered strong performances and carried the show throughout.Ning, Jean, and Viroj were definitely among the standout performers for me. I won’t name names, but some really need to step up their acting game. There were many moments where I couldn’t feel the thrill I should’ve gotten from a zombie show, simply because of the subpar acting.
