"From commoner to celebrity? How? Well, I just moved on from doing honest days work to doing stuff that'll make me forget my humanity." Well, that's exactly what it was. Beautifully portrayed within the 12 episodes. I'm surprised it didn't get a higher rating from mdl. A solid 9.0.
Well yes the rating is up to your preference but you know that your scoring is subjective right and not objective,…
Well, I try to be as objective as can be and not base it off my preferences. I know ratings have a high level of subjectivity to it but I try to look at the drama as it is and if I can't, I rate it off my benchmarks.
My benchmarks are a mixture of cdramas and kdramas. This allows me to rate dramas on a wide spectrum rather than just looking at a single dimension of a drama.
This is at least on the level of Lovely Us. Actually the cinematography is much prettier than that. The characters…
Well, I guess you're right. I like the plot being good more than the characters themselves.
Also, it's good that you find school 2017 ridiculous cuz that means we agree to disagree. It also means that your focus is more on characters than on a compelling story.
I didn't find this 'meh' tho. Most of my ratings are between 7 to 8 so an 8.0 is a good score from me.

Well, my friend welcome to reality. Not all characters are consistent. Characters that are built with a little bit of chaos in them is more believable.
Also, I didn't mention Go ahead in my list of benchmarks, did I?
Well, that's good if you found what I've considered benchmarks not to your liking cuz that means you simply like a different cup of tea and not the cup of tea I'm having. Simply your tastes are more towards stuff like this while my tastes are totally different.
While I do occasionally like these kinds of dramas, it has to surprise me with something special to make me wanna push that 9 instead of a 8.
Well, are we just gonna ignore the fact that they removed the Crown prince being shot by arrows and doing a leap of faith from the dramas outro in episode 5 onwards. This was there until episode 4 (45:36) but now they've completely removed it.

Well, I have no idea about the scores of douban, so it has never influenced me to score the way I score dramas. I've alway scored dramas based on my benchmarks. These benchmarks are based on dramas like our secret, river runs through it, hidden love, school 2017 and reply 1997.

That I scored a 8.5. It had its own uniqueness. But this well, I just couldn't see it. I've watched too many dramas tho. Cdramas are saturated with school/college dramas, something that kdramas aren't producing enough of.
yeah maybe ur the 1 percent minority who thinks so...I on the other hand think it deserves much more ..and I'm…
I don't like angst or misunderstandings tho... 😂. I'm just rating the drama objectively. I saw nothing unique. It's just the same warm and fuzzy FL with a seemingly cold (but actually not) and smart ML

Well, what can I say, it's just another school/slice of life drama... nothing too impressive. What I'm surprised about is the mdl score. I guess that's because there's not much misunderstandings or angst in the drama. This shows that the viewers are in need of some fluff and I can understand why. However, objectively this drama doesn't actually deserve 9.1. I would give it a solid 8.0 and nothing more.
