idk this is all it was ever advertised to be? A tropey office romcom where they investigate office scandals. I'm…
Not really. I was more impressed by the initial eps. So, naturally I expected the same for the next eps but to my disappointment they weren't worthwhile. Nothing wrong with a tropey office romance, just not what I'm looking for.
Maybe I’m the odd one out here. I liked the first two episodes more bcz they felt refreshing for an office romance. The world building was especially unique, but then the quality seems to drop significantly in the last two episodes. or maybe it’s just the novelty of a new show wearing off. That might be on me, i admit. But regardless, the last two episodes feel formulaic to me. We’re being fed the same 'one plotline per episode' trope for the 1894th time. The comedy is barely there, and the romance follows the 'role reversal, but we’ll keep the same gendered tropes' pattern. We’re getting the same romantic cues over and over again. it’s just so predictable.
I get why some of you are finding dong man annoying. I would too if i wasn’t relating so hard with him. From my perspective, the whole point of a great slice of life show is to make you feel things, even annoyance counts lol. I believe the writer wants you to live the story, experience it. yeah sounds cheesy, but cheesiness and slice of life go hand in hand. I don’t feel pity for these characters tbh, what i feel is sympathy. You encounter these types of people quite a lot irl, but that doesn’t evoke the same feeling as actually living it through a piece of art.
The feeling of emptiness is so suffocating that people often resort to coping mechanisms. The constant talking, which is often reckless, isn’t random but a way to cope with that emptiness. yes it is a tad annoying, but still real. Idk how many of you can relate to the deafening silence when you are alone, that you can’t do anything but talk, even if what you’re saying is unreasonable and impolite by society’s standards. But i think these characters are past that politeness. They don’t care, or they care too much that they don’t.
Dong man is depicted so multifaceted that i’m sure we’ll see more sides of him, and not just the insufferable side, in the coming eps. We need more raw characters, not perfect fictional idols who refuse to make mistakes without twenty things to justify why they did it. While i’m fine with either, i feel a stronger connection with flawed characters, as do many of you. The writer here wants you to feel a sense of consolation, which, while not unheard of in cinema, is still a novel experience. All I gotta say is, you can find him annoying and still find him lovable. oops this went on longer than i expected.
For the first time, the MDL rating of an ongoing show is pissing me off.Normally, I don't rate until all eps have…
it’s kind of funny bcz i once said something almost like this (well not exactly). i just said a certain drama didn’t deserve to be rated that high…which, apparently, managed to offend half the folks here lol. pitchforks hurt. for your particular comment, i think mdl ratings are more of a reflection of crowd mood than anything objective. a drama that is trending would naturally attract more casual viewers, including people outside the target audience. those of us who love this genre tend to rate it more neutrally, whereas someone who isn’t a fan of the genre or simply isn’t used to it is more likely to give it a low rating. the ratings become more skewed as a result. the comments are mostly spared bcz the people who love the show are more likely to take the time to explain why they like it, which is why you often see more positive responses in the comments than in the ratings. but the same can be true for a drama that is highly hated, where people come up with new ways to hate in the comments. it just goes to show how unreliable these ratings can be, especially for a trending drama. as someone wise once said "never trust mdl ratings."
I was lowkey expecting something like night has come but was pleasantly surprised that this drama outclassed it. I'm not a fan of supernatural genre but honestly it's far more believable than whatever they had done in the last episode of night has come. Night has come bit far more than it could chew and as a result we ended with a messy ending. Here, I think it was a well resolved plot. We got all the answers that matter. It had its dips, but overall a solid drama i must say.
Sometimes it surprises me when I see parents abandoning their own children, but then I remember how real it is for some people. People can, in fact, abandon their own child over something as seemingly petty as their career or the lack of one.
I knew gyeong se and dong man had some serious history together. Because the way they react to each other's shenanigans is way too much. I love it even more now!
The rating is actually so surprising because there is NO way in hell this deserves an 8.5 😭 Like sure, people can like it, but 8.5?? Bffr. It feels so stale for a hyped drama. I dropped it, saw the rating, came back to give it another chance… and yeah, disappointed again. The fl is still obnoxious as hell. Girl I’m sorry but you’re not edgy 😭 you’re acting like a toddler half the time. You can’t even have a proper conversation unless it somehow helps your romance with the ml. And speaking of the ml… can he please take a break from the blank stare to save his life? No one is going to think you can’t act if you show SOME expression. Like the acting feels weirdly dry, which I didn’t expect. But honestly that’s not even the main issue because the clichés are doing all the heavy lifting, and not in a good way. Maybe… just maybe… this drama could’ve used better writing. The only thing i found interesting was the sfl's character and that underlying desire to have what you lack, that gap the fl is trying to fill with this whole “nobility” thing. But even that wasn’t explored well enough to save it. Alas not even iu could make me continue, and that’s saying something. Even she can pick a mid script sometimes ig. Edit: damn this really got y’all pressed huh 😭 it’s not that deep. Idk if you guys are just generous with ratings or biased as hell, but either way this is just my opinion. I’m not stopping anyone from loving the show, I just don’t think it deserves that high of a rating. And yeah ill stand by that. You’re entitled to hype it up, I’m entitled to criticize it. Also i actually like these actors, so this isn’t coming from hate. But y’all seriously need to learn to take criticism with a pinch of salt. You keep your love for the show, I’ll keep my criticism. Fair deal.
this was genuinely good. the writing was compelling enough. the acting was good. the pacing was just right. and it was funny at times. i don't have any qualms as such but i didn't expect the focus would be so heavily on the supernatural aspect which i think is fair enough for a horror drama. idt it needs a second season but im not complaining. side note- i am so glad the "brother in law"(idk his name lol) got a cool role to play in this after being the most aggravating antagonist in squid game.

Jokes aside, the synopsis reads like a horror drama.
