Your entire original comment clearly conveys your hate towards the OP and a particular genre. You specifically mention romcoms and your response to the person mocking the OP confirms who you are targeting. No one here is naive enough to believe you when you say you werent hating on the OP or the romcom genre. While your issue wasnt with a particular drama, it was obvious that your dislike was aimed at romcoms as a whole. Secondly, even if someone had posted a similar comment under a romcom drama, no one would bash them for liking thrillers. I have never seen romcom fans attack thriller fans just because they dont enjoy romcoms. Romcoms are clearly popular, both on MDL and elsewhere, but its also true that people tend to look down on them for having simpler scripts. However i have never seen the same level of disdain directed toward thrillers.
And even if by chance some romcom fans made negative comments about thrillers, it would still be wrong. That doesnt justify you looking down on romcoms or the OP either. And again this wasnt even biased opinion, OP never intended to spread hate or she wasnt even troll to deserve this kind of treament for her simple opinion.
Why are you all needlessly hating on the user for finding episode 1 boring?? She didnt say it was trash, just that she found it boring at the moment because she wasnt in the mood. She even mentioned that she might try watching it again. So why are you acting like she’s a troll or hater?? And whats with the comment about romcom fans not finding the repetitive romcom scripts boring?? Are thrillers any different?? Even most thrillers follow similar, repetitive scripts about serial killers and victims, what about that??
You enjoy thrillers, others like romcoms. Just like you aren’t wrong for enjoying thrillers with repetitive plots, how are they wrong for enjoying romcoms with similar themes?? Personally, i enjoy both as long as they engage me. I loved episode 1 of this show, but if someone else found it boring, whats wrong with that?? At least she isnt hating or trolling. She even said she might give it another try when she’s in the mood. Yet, you are all acting like she is a hater, and on top of that, you are teasing and taunting her based on her profile picture. Seriously, whats wrong with people on MDL?? Cant you accept a simple difference of opinion??
The pilot was visually stunning with every frame looking like a work of art. The direction, cinematography and setting all came together to create something truly beautiful.
While im not familiar with Pansori culture, the stage performance was mesmerizing to watch.
In E1, Kim Taeri and Jung Eunchae stood out the most. Kim Taeri delivered her role flawlessly, as always but Jung Eunchae really caught me off guard. I have always known she is a talented actress but here, she looked absolutely handsome rather than traditionally beautiful. Seeing her in such a drastically different role right after her work in Pachinko 2 was a pleasant surprise.
The story somewhat reminds me of Penthouse, especially the rivalry between Cheon Seojin and Oh Yoon Hee, along with their daughters. It feels like Ra Miran and Moon Sori’s characters were old rivals and their daughters, Jeongnyeon and Shin YeEun's character (likely Ra Miran’s daughter), are set to clash in a similar way, much like Bae Rona and Ha Eunbyeol did.
E1 was outstanding and i loved every moment of it. The tension was so intense, it felt almost exhausting in the best way. While its primarily a mystery thriller, it occasionally leans into horror creating an even darker atmosphere.
The narrative kept me hooked from start to finish. Even the scenes without dialogue were captivating, silence itself became a powerful tool in those moments.
Han Sukkyu and Chae Wonbin's portrayal of an estranged father and daughter adds a palpable tension and they both bring their characters to life flawlessly.
I can already sense that this will be a tightly woven, well crafted mystery thriller!!
The movie was simply excellent, a perfect blend of emotions and action, both executed flawlessly.
The story makes you deeply empathize with the pain of the low born slaves and fuels a strong hatred for the oppressive noblemen. One thing i have noticed is that in most action movies, emotions are often missing but this one does a perfect job of bringing those emotions to the screen, making the viewers truly feel the weight of the story.
The action scenes were outstanding. The final fight between ML, SML and the Japanese general was one of the rare action scenes where all three men fought against each other simultaneously.
The acting was excellent, especially from ML and his younger counterpart. They both delivered incredible performances.
The original Go Ahead is one of my most favorite shows of all times and i really enjoyed the first two episodes of this remake. However i cant help but compare the two in my mind. The original had a stronger emotional pull, while this one has a more heartwarming tone with scenic locations. The original took more time to explore the childhood part, whereas this one feels a bit rushed. But overall, it was still good.
This remake does try to create its own unique impact which is a strong point.
I just wish this one had a more emotional OST like the original. The OST Fearless from the original Go Ahead is one of my absolute favorites, its an instant tearjerker.
I will try to limit my comments here because, even though im enjoying the korean remake, i still compare both versions in my mind and it might come across as negative. I dont want to spoil the experience for new viewers.
Now that it's over, it's time for my usual questions to decide if I'll watch it:1.Happy ending?2.Love triangle?3.annoying…
1. Yes happy ending 2. No love triangle but exes comeback in both leads life, but dont worry they are positive. 3. No annoying SML but u might find parents of FL annoying. If you understand them where they are coming from thrn you will enjoy. Evn FL is also annoying sometimes but all of them are flawed characters pretty much like normal human beings. 4. No break up, but it takes time for them to get into relationship (E11). Its slow burn but it was worth to wait.
Why are some people salty about the ending?? Imo it has the best ending. While its the end for us, their journey continues and that kind of open ended conclusion is perfect for slice-of-life dramas.
I have seen many people wishing for a wedding, but why?? Is a wedding some sort of confirmation that their love story has succeeded or what?? A wedding isnt always the ultimate goal of love, its just part of the journey. I would actually prefer that before marriage, they have an amazing dating life. They might or might not get married and who cares about that, they can stay in a relationship as long as they want. I just hope they will always remain the same and stay happy together.
Eomma Chingu Adeul is a multigenre drama that does justice to each and every genre it tackles. It incorporates some of the most used cliche tropes of 2024, yet they are executed and concluded in a highly satisfying way, delivering meaningful life lessons. Whether its the terminal illness trope, quitting a job due to depression, the childhood friends-to-lovers arc or the exes storyline, each one is handled in a gratifying manner. Many shows i have watched this year that use these tropes tend to disappoint but this drama managed them far better.
The chemistry between the leads is exceptional. From the very first scene, they felt so natural together, as if they truly were childhood friends, the kind of vibe that made their bond believable. As the episodes progressed, their connection only grew stronger. There were plenty of ups and downs in their relationship but everything was justified. The progression of their relationship felt smooth. While some might say Seokryu jumped into a new relationship rather quickly after her breakup, i think the buildup was convincing, so it didnt feel strange at all.
The acting was phenomenal, especially from Jung Somin. She was incredibly natural in every scene, whether it was emotional, happy or sad. She absolutely killed it. Other actors like Jung Haein and Kim Jieun also impressed me. The supporting cast, who are veteran actors, delivered solid performances as expected. I never got a fake or forced feeling from anyone’s acting.
This slice of life drama excellently portrays the different phases of life in a highly believable way. Each storyline is given proper buildup and a satisfying conclusion, all while teaching that life is about growth. Every character has their own story to tell. The leads and secondary characters are depicted with their flaws, just like real people. I appreciate that the drama didnt idealize the lead characters like many others do. Here, they are shown with both their strengths and weaknesses and every action they take has a reason behind it. The more you try to understand things from their perspective, the more you will enjoy their stories. Whether its the parents, the brother or the leads themselves, each one follows their own moral compass. At times, you will see the parents at fault, while at other times, you will understand that Seokryu made mistakes by not being honest with them. Once you grasp where they are coming from, the show becomes even more meaningful.
Friendship and family are the highlights of this drama. Whether its the friendship between the lavender squad or between the three leads, these relationships are cherished, though they also go through their ups and downs. The same applies to family dynamics.
The slow burn romance is executed perfectly. Waiting 10 episodes to finally see the leads romance unfold was worth it. Their sweet relationship, which began after weathering the storm, made it even more enjoyable. The show does an excellent job of handling the angst between episodes 6 and 10 and then giving plenty of time for their relationship to flourish from episodes 11 to 16, with plenty of sweetness. Most romance dramas fail at this, introducing conflict in the last two episodes, which often results in a rushed ending. But here, it doesnt feel that way at all.
I have watched plenty of romance or romcom dramas this year but honestly, this one has the most meaningful script. While there are a few romance/romcom dramas i liked more, i cant deny that this one has a solid story and script. There is so much depth to the characters and the story that the more you think about it, the more fresh perspectives you gain on various aspects of life.
All things considered, i would give this a solid 9.5/10. It satisfied me from start to finish and i even enjoyed the angsty phase between episodes 6 and 10, which was disliked by many viewers of this drama.
What a beautiful last episode, man!! Definitely the best finale of any romance drama i have watched this year. Full of fluff and sweetness. This will forever remain close to my heart. ❤️❤️
The main premise of the show is that Justitia needs to become a better judge, and that’s what Bael wants from…
Bruh she has literally showed him her magical powers, wasnt that enough for him to believe that she is demon. And yes evn he has also accepted she is demon and he has met other demons also now tell me which rational personal will go against demons knowing he stand no chance against them?? His trauma and backstory has nothing to do with FL, i mean just look from neutral perspective what connection she might have his parents death ij his eyes?? She is demon who kills criminals and its not like she goes after innocents and even he knows she cant kill innocents which is why she failed to kill him & thats the reason he dont fear her so what kind unanswered mysteries answer he is seeking from her?? Just see the episode, he is foolish self righteous detectivs who thinks once he catches her he will arrest her according to human laws.
If we talk about characters having outside perspectivd, i will only talk abt ML & FL, only these 2 characters have major roles, ML has knowledge of her being demon who kills evildoers (murderers) yet he goes after instead of catching real criminals which is most foolish thing about him. Sorry you cant defend him with points yoi have made, they dont makes sense at all.
How are ton of people complaining legit missing the whole premise of this show and saying FL should be more ruthless…
The main premise of the show is that Justitia needs to become a better judge, and that’s what Bael wants from her, which is why he sets a goal for her and sends her to Earth. Everyone understands that point, but the writing here feels lazy. Has Bael ever mentioned that she needs to judge every case and then punish or kill the criminals?? No. That’s why she kills Daon as soon as he confesses to being a killer in ep 2 or 3. What Bael wants might be a different matter, but from Justitia’s perspective, her goal is simply to complete her mission as soon as possible and return to Hell. She doesn’t care about judging every criminal fairly, she only cares about finishing her mission quickly.
Being smart, she could just go to prison and kill several convicted murderers to complete her mission. And since she’s a judge, she could easily access their case files to study them first. The main premise of the show is that she is judge from hell, which i understand, but Bael should have set conditions for her, that she must judge each case as a judge fairly and then give the murderer the same pain they inflicted on their victims & later kill them. That would have been much better writing. What they’ve written instead feels lazy.
Now, coming to ML Daon, he doesn’t really help Justitia judge cases fairly. He’s just an obstacle in her mission. He doesn’t want her to kill murderers, which goes directly against her mission. Instead of aiding her character growth, he’s just trying to weaken her. When demons start feeling emotions, they become weaker, and that’s exactly what ML is trying to do to her.
You mentioned how can he support Justitia’s vigilantism?? no one’s asking him to. But since he knows she’s a demon and that she’s killing pathetic murderers, he should know his limits and focus on other cases. Does he really think human laws can punish a demon like her?? This is way beyond his core values and human laws. Any rational person would keep their distance from such a demon. But he’s stupid and annoying for constantly interfering in her work. Even the old lady warned him that in the end, one of them will die, and since he’s human, his chances of dying are much higher. Yet he still plays his foolish little game of chasing her.
She is demon not mere human. She is above the human laws.
She only kills if that criminal is murderer and not all criminals are murderers. Your logic doesnt make sense at all. So just because she kills pathetic criminals he is not catching other criminals. Lol what kind of logic is this??
She is demon not mere human. She is above the human laws.
So you are gonna judge demon on the basis of human laws?? Yes she is murderer so what?? She is actually killing criminals, not innocents, thats her mission.
Daon knows her identity yet still want to catch her?? Why?? He wants to punish her with merely human laws when she is demon?? He is just stupid.
