Oh no you’re totally good 😂

I will say I totally agree with your last point. A show has to be pretty bad to pan it after one episode. And I think in that case people are just trying to find fault in a show rather than watch it objectively.

The only show in recent memory where I watched Episode 1 and immediately knew I couldn’t watch the rest was Playboyy 😂

If anything usually my opinion on Episode 1 is either really excited for Episode 2 or just middle of the road that was fine. It’s rare that I watch Episode 1 and immediately hate a show 😆

Or some people may just be voicing an opinion that is different from your own. Not everyone has to like the same thing. Saying “I don’t care for” or “I don’t like” is a lot different than straight up people harassing actors, cast, crew, or fans online or in person. We need to have some nuance or else we get only two options: people who love something, and people who hate something.

Edit: If someone saying they dislike a show you like, hurts you, that's not good. People like different things. We shouldn't be genuinely hurt that someone doesn't like the same media as us.

If you are referring to the person two comments before yours, they didn't hate on the actors. They said they didn't like two characters and thought the story was a failure. Feel free to disagree with them, I wouldn't say I agree with them, but they are harming any actual people. They are expressing an opinion on a piece of media, on a forum made for discussing said piece of media.

I mean I wasn’t trying to be boastful about my favorite shows 😂 I think plenty of stories, romance included, can be slow burn and I like that. But slow burn can still be engaging from the beginning. I would say Heartstopper in a way is like this on a smaller scale. Or ITSAY.

I just think that the best stories typically engage the audience from start to finish. so if some people aren’t engaged from the start, they might be less inclined to watch the rest even if the story picks up later.

I personally have too many shows on my Watchlist to watch everything. So I try to focus most of my energy on shows that engage me from the start.

I do think they have a lot to handle with four couples for sure. But that was also a choice the writers made. Which good on them for taking a leap than can be difficult. I mean Only Friends did a solid job with 3 main “couples” intermixing, while adding a little bit of Namchueam and April to the mix even if they were still relegated to side characters.

We can agree to disagree at the end of the day and that’s fine. We shall see how I feel after the next few episodes, because my mind could change 🤷🏻‍♀️

Or use a VPN and then watch it on YouTube 😛

“don’t really like” doesn’t equal “hate”. Now you understand what they meant lol

I mean I could play Devil’s Advocate and say it shouldn’t take until the halfway point of a show for you to be able to criticize a show’s plot. I am on episode 3 and it’s cute but for me nothing stands out that makes me want to watch this show more than others that these actors have been in. Depending on how they handle the plot from here, I might be more inclined to rewatch FUTS, NLMG, or MSP personally 🤷🏻‍♀️ Most of my favorite shows BL or not have grabbed my attention by the first if not second episode at the least. I think We Are is fine so far, but not really attention grabbing for me personally.

Just for clarification, neither Lee Joon Gi nor Kang Haneul are idols.

I wouldn’t say so. I hate to say it, but it felt like a waste of my time personally.

I saw it at a theater here in Florida

Honestly I found it a little hard to follow and not particularly scary. The performances were good and I loved the look they went with for Lee Do Hyun but I doubt I’ll watch it again.

It had potential but was way too all over the place. the script and general focus needed much more work.

Korea also had its own “three kingdoms period”. Just like how Japan had a “Warring States Period”

Honestly I was really excited to watch this show but I’m on episode 19 and I must have missed what people loved about it. I think it’s fine but not phenomenal. The acting is fine, I like the music, the magic looks cool, and I think the chemistry is jife but I don’t find the plot that well done. It feels disorganized rather than merely complex imo.

I mean would argue that at least the majority of youth in America don't agree with the sentiment that the use of the A-Bombs was moral or necessary. And we are taught about it in school. Whereas textbooks in Japan really don't shed much light on the atrocities committed by Japan across East and Southeast Asia before and during WW2.

Technically, Nanking was the original spelling used in English. It didn't start being spelled Nanjing until the 1980s.

What did civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki do? They aren't the war criminals who ran these evil experiments.

Look up Japan’s Unit 731 from WW2. Japan did lots of horrid things during WW2.

The female lead has no self-preservation skills I swear to God 🤦🏻‍♀️

Watching it currently now. Almost done though :)

Now I do he he he
