I've just recently started this, so only up to Ep 5, but seriously, how does anyone keep going past here? The…
I really like how positive everyone's comments have been - thankyou! I've posed these kinds of questions in the past, on other drama pages, and been absolutely slammed. I'll be back to see how the story evolves! ❤
Yes, everything you've said here is correct: ML indeed is a jerk. But look pass that jerky face and words, you'd…
Thank you for this. I've watched through to ep12 now, but your comment has helped me decide I might put this on hold. I think I'll wait to hear how the issues are resolved. It seems I'm the opposite of you. I really struggle with characters like this ML, being romanticised, the way they often are in stories - not just Chinese dramas! I like a more idealised romance 😄. I just don't think having a somewhat positive motivation for your abusive behaviour, is a justification - I actually find it really disturbing. But that's my drama 😁
in my experience, shows with characters like that serve the basic and one-dimensional role of portraying a certain…
Sure. I can handle single-dimensional characters to a point, but I prefer dramas that treat viewers with intelligence... So I guess that's part of my question. I'm guessing from many other comments, that the characters and the plot, evolve to be more satisfying.
I've just recently started this, so only up to Ep 5, but seriously, how does anyone keep going past here? The narcissism, infantilising, undermining, deflection, gaslighting and more, Ning Meng is subjected to. By multiple characters, not just Lu Ji Ming. I'm not sure I'm in the right head space right now, to keep going. Is the payoff later, worth the abuse now?
Is this really one of the best korean dramas of all time, like many comments/reviews say?
Best of all time is DEFINITELY not the case, but it is entertaining and well acted. Where have you seen those reviews? I keep wondering if the reason it's been so well received in SK is because it's just very timely. It's addressing issues that are forefront in SK right now 🤷 (I don't actually know, I am just wondering too!?!)
What. I don't understand why Do Be Man revealed he has a witness (episode 9), it was obvious something would happen…
I had the same thought at that point too - Why do they keep giving away their advantage, when they know the enemy is untrustworthy?!? It seemed utterly stupid to me too. But it plays out ok in the end.
Thankyou for saying that! It completely freaked me out when I first saw it...and I of course thought something was wrong with me because everyone else thought it was hilarious. I know better now, thank goodness.
Honestly, episode 10 is pretty disturbing. I hate injustice. People really need to shut the hell up when it comes…
All of your words are EXACTLY my thoughts too. Empathy and Ethics. If only world religions preached those as well. My children and I were talking recently (after watching "Wish Dragon") about if you could have 1 wish...we finally all agreed it would be, "That EVERY human being could see every other human being, as exactly that; a human being!" (like ones-self). They agreed, it would pretty much nullify the need for any other wish.
I wanted to smash my screen when I read/heard what the lawyer said! And it's more infuriating because it happens…
This is wordldwide issue, sadly. That's partly what #MeToo is about. But there are MANY different organisations working really hard to improve consent laws, in many different jurisdictions around the world, as well as provide supports for victim-survivors. Amnesty International is a global one, but there's probably something within your own community.
Too many things to say about this drama, I don't know where to begin aside from how good it is! Thankyou to everyone commenting! Such a positive and supportive atmosphere here!
RIGHT?! Like whose decision was that? Why not simply title it "Shooting Stars" since the asterisk often censors…
I always assume these decisions are made on purpose (writers tend to think about everything. Everything!) I agree with you - the interesting thing is; what their purpose was?! 🤣
But that's my drama 😁
I'll stick it out a bit further
