Ngl but Ep 8 & 9 are actually the best so far. Whenever i used to write about previous episodes, i would always talk about how cute or funny the scenes were, how beautifully everything was coming together, and how natural their chemistry felt, just the usual stuff i do for every other show. But with Ep 8 & 9, i can actually discuss the flaws of the lead characters. Both of them have their own issues and you can even see things from the family's perspective and understand them as well. There is also a lot of room for growth in all of these flawed characters, making them feel very real. Their conflicts feel genuine and relatable.
While i see many people liking the second couple, and i like them too but they are pretty one dimensional. Their story is straightforward, without much conflict. Its the typical "girl likes boy, boy reciprocates" kind of plot, with the boy’s daughter playing cupid. Moeum has already accepted Yeondu so there is not even any tension there, like the usual Moeum isnt fond of children angle. There is not much to discuss about them beyond saying, "Oh im loving them so much."
On the other hand, Seokryu, Seunghyoand even their family have so much to talk about when it comes to their behavior. There is still a lot of growth needed for them to truly understand each other. The writer has done a great job in making these characters feel real and you can understand them to some extent while also seeing things from other characters perspectives.
Even the leads exes were interesting to talk about. They werent the typical toxic exes who cheated or something, the reasons for their breakups were different and completely understandable.
Many people say this drama is a mix of every romance drama of 2024 but i would argue that they actually handled these topics much better than all those other shows combined.
For example, in QOT, the illness was present from the beginning but they never focused on why it happened. In LND however, you can see the causes behind Seokryu's illness: working tirelessly, not eating properly, living alone and experiencing stress. Also How Haein miraculously get better is still beyond my understanding. I will always say it was kind of plot armour.
In Doctor Slump, both leads quit their jobs mostly due to slump but the major reason was that they were set up by villains. In contrast, here you can see Seokryu dealing with post illness stress and how her coworkers comments pushed her into depression. There isnt a single ultimate villain here, unlike Doctor Slump where that guy with glasses was the clear antagonist.
In Welcome to Samdalri, FL also quits her job but i never liked the reasoning. She had evidence in her hands, yet she stayed silent, allowing her ex's new girlfriend to walk all over her. That show also had the typical breakup reason of the ex cheating on her. In the childhood friends to lovers trope, ML remained a virgin the entire time without dating anyone, whereas here Seunghyo had a pretty intense relationship when Seokryu was abroad.
If anyone wants to enjoy this drama peacefully and discuss it on MDL, please block the user named Nahlabee4. He/She is still lingering around, hating on everyone who enjoyed the drama. When i enjoyed part 1 and joined the discussion, he/she was already there, spreading hate. Even now, he/she continues to make everyone’s experience miserable with their useless nonsense.
Question ❓❓1. Who did FL marry after her husband's death?2. Are there erotic scenes in Episode 5,6,7,8?3.…
1. She hasnt married anyone yet, she has chose her next husband and king but that part might unfold in S2. For more info check wiki page of "Queen U of Gogoryeo".
2. There are only 2 nude scenes, not long but length doesnt exceed more than 1 min. Both are very imp to storyline and to know more abt characters.
3. In the end Queen Woo entered in battlefield to war against third prince and og crown prince.
Part 2 was even more impressive and captivating than Part 1. The action sequences, pacing, gore and tension were spot on. It was so gripping that i ended up finishing all 4 EPs in one sitting.
This part gave me even more goosebumps compared to Part 1 with its stupendous action and chilling moments of gore that really sent shivers down my spine.
Jeon Jongseo delivered an absolutely phenomenal performance. She embodied a fierce warrior queen with every scene radiating her commanding presence. Her action sequences were thrilling and the final moment where she steps onto the battlefield was nothing short of perfection. Her character exuded power and the way she maneuvered through the patriarchal royal palace with her intelligence and cunning moves completely won me over. I cant praise this strong warrior queen enough!!
Beyond her, every other character was layered and complex, many with deeply rooted motivations driving their actions. The cast was strong and the performances were spot on.
Im usually not a fan of long 16 episode sageuks due to their slower pace and melo tone but this one was right up my alley for its uniqueness.
Note: For those concerned about the nudity, this part has almost none. The few scenes that do involve nudity are not unnecessary, they add to the story and character development. There are maybe two short scenes but thats all.
This historical series truly exceeded my expectations. The ending hints at a strong possibility of S2 and if that happens, i cant wait for it.
I like episodic crimes. Though a crime takes around 3 episodes to solve, I like this. A good change of pace. Its…
In the original format, it was mostly episodic, but since this series shifted from SBS to D+, they extended the number of episodes from 12 to 20 by shortening the original episode length from 60 to 40 minutes. As a result, it's now taking three episodes to solve a crime.
Well, there's a clear difference between those two,but people are just curious, it's a comment section,you will…
I understand the curiosity to some extent, but its important for people to know the difference between the LGBT genre and the BL genre, especially if they support the LGBT community. Although im not part of the community, i support them and understand how disrespectful it can be to label LGBT shows as BL. Reducing LGBT content to BL is disrespectful, as BL often depicts an rosy version of gay relationships, while LGBT media tends to portray the real struggles people face. Mislabeling an LGBT show as BL can be hurtful, so its important to understand the terminology. After all its not like using Google is illegal.
First of all thx for the info i really needed to hear thatBut you know that it was possible leaving out the obsession…
Because thats how BL fans often behave, they obsess over BL in every comment section without doing any research. Even in Love in the Big City, a new LGBT/queer drama that happens to have a gay relationship as the main storyline, they disrespect the show by labeling it as BL everywhere. For God's sake, BL and LGBT+ are two different genres. If you are a fan of BL and support the LGBT community, you should at least know that much, otherwise, its disrespectful. Im not a big fan of BL, i occasionally watch them, but even i know how to distinguish between those genres.
Secondly, whenever two hot guys appear together onscreen, these BL fans always irritate everyone by asking, "Is there BL?? Does it have BL??" Come on, pure friendship and bromance between men also exists. Not every two hot guys need to have something romantic between them. Thats why BL fans need to stop their obsession and start seeing things from a neutral perspective for once.
As far as i remember, the storyline in Skam S1 was a complete mess but it was a lot of fun to watch. The main girl, Eva (Jiyu), was delusional. She thought her boyfriend Jonas (Chan Seong) was cheating on her with her ex best friend Ingrid, who also happens to be Jonas's ex girlfriend. So, Eva (Jiyu) ends up cheating on Jonas (Chan Seong) with a new guy, Chris. But in reality, Jonas was just hanging out with Ingrid's (Jonas’s ex girlfriend and Eva's ex best friend) brother to get weed, lol. Im not sure how they will incorporate the weed angle, but thats how it is. Although she have on & off romantic relationship with chris for a while, jonas and eva eventually end up together. (chris was fkboy).
Aside from this, jonas's best friend isak had a one sided crush on him. He realises he have feelings for men/jonas but they never had a romantic angle because isak becomes the main character in Season 3, where his gay love story is explored with his new love interest as the main storyline.
To those constantly asking "no BL?? no BL??" please stop this obsession with BL. First of all, Skam never had a BL storyline, its season 3 main storyline was about an LGBT gay couple. There is a significant difference between BL and the LGBT genre, just go and google it. Secondly Skam's third season was the one that featured a gay main storyline, so how can Fragile introduce this storyline in its first season?? So stop this obsession with BL and do some research first.
Yes, in the Skam series, the gay storyline was the most famous out of all the seasons, but that doesnt mean the creators will introduce it in season 1 here. If this season becomes a hit, then maybe we might see those storylines in future seasons.
There is also a possibility that they might introduce other storylines from later seasons, including the gay one, if they arent planning to make more seasons. But who knows?? Even if they dont introduce it, its no big deal considering Skam never had a gay storyline in its first season either.
I loved Ep 1. It feels like a blend of skam and korean short web dramas and its delivering exactly what i was hoping for. Adapting skam in a Korean style was a smart choice, making the story more relatable.
The plot is still a bit unclear, but i appreciate how the leads relationship is portrayed with realism. They are in their early twenties and their relationship reflects that, they are sexually active and navigating the ups and downs of being together. There is definitely some underlying issue in their relationship, but it hasnt been revealed yet.
The execution is impressive with each day unfolding as a new chapter, i believe Ep 1 covered five chapters. I also liked the choice of bgms in various scenes. They have kept both these elements from the original skam series, which i really appreciate.
Overall, Ep 1 was nice watch and im looking forward to the next one.
I will pick this one because this is super realistic, whereas QOT was makjangish OTT drama with all planning plotting…
Additionally, I dont come from a chaebol family like Hae In, so I can’t relate to QOT at all, nor do I see that kind of OTT drama in real life. It feels very superficial to me. On the other hand, LND really hits home. Like Seokryu, Im from a middle class family of four. My mom and dad are similar to their parents, Im the younger brother just like Dongjin, and my older sister is domineering like Seokryu, which I cant stand. Plus, all my friends are also from middle class families, and they have their own careers just like Moeum and Seunghyo, so I relate to this drama the most. Just last week, I had a fight with my sister, just like Dongjin and Seokryu did today.
QOT was excellent in that it knew exactly what it wanted to be and executed that to perfection. It was not for…
Local tv ratings has nothing to do with quality of drama, QOT was by well known writer who have streak of most hit shows in her kitty plus that show features some of top korean actors which plays another major factor im ratings. Additionally makjangish ott storyline always attract mass audience on linear tv.
But here case is different, right now this drama is facing tough competition from good partner additionally writer has given big hit in past but he/she dont have that hitmaker value to him/her lile QOT writer. Plus drama is super realistic so sometimes it can give boring feeling so yeah audience usually dont get attracted to such boring realistic dramas, My liberation notes is big example of it. But that doesnt define its quality.

tbvh initial episodes up until episode 6-7 deserved ratings around 8.5 and with episodes 8-9, it should have increased to 8.6-8.7.
