disappointed at first, but that quickly turned into disgust. it’s hard to fact-check every claim out there, but one thing I 100% know for sure is that I can clearly remember him posting birthday stories and celebrating on IG at that time (I was following his IG after QoT). Knowing that he certainly has some sort of relationship with saerom now, the thought of him celebrating on the day she died is making me sick to my stomach. absolutely vile and repulsive.
i replied same comment to someone but it is also my opinion on drama since some people LOVE this drama too muchIt…
everyone has their own form of escapism and that’s his, its not that big a of a deal since it does not harm others or his work. cliches are not necessarily = bad btw, and you complain about cliches but then what? you want a cliche CEO personality instead? at the end of the day if its such a turnoff for you just drop the show, even tho there are already signs that his interest is slowly diverting towards the FL more.
and yes, it’s your personal opinion, but i think you represent exactly those who judge the ML negatively for his hobbies in the show. if you can’t enjoy it, just drop.
'The First Frost' douban score - 5.4 (42k raters)https://x.com/ForCdrama/status/1894678932307231054?t=j0tE8EdEXPJC9fow9Jo5ag&s=19
I went to read the negative comments on both douban and weibo, filtering out those personal attacks on the actor/actress, apparently majority seems to hate the amount of xsr scenes it has (short for 性骚扰) which means sexual harassment. And some stated that the director added some of those xsr in the drama which wasn’t in the novel to make use of FL’s misery to highlight even more how good the ML is as a contrast which pisses a lot of ppl off (idk how true this is since I haven’t read the novel)
netflix is slow in uploading episodes so I download them from mkvdrama..
im going to wait for all the eps before i binge (hopefully i can resist the temptation to watch), if I want to follow i would usually just stream from kisskh
im on netflix, so im only up to ep10 so far, but this is already a contender for the best cdrama this year. nice to see that everyone in the comments are enjoying it too 😊
As someone who dislikes the school delinquent (or bullying) trope due to how pointless and hollow the subject is, this was surprisingly very well-executed and entertainingly fun. A great adaptation.
You know those 5–10 minute short films or skits that you wish could be turned into a full series? This drama felt like one of them, fully brought to life. I really liked the cinematography and direction of the drama (EP3 ending scene was creative and memorable for me).
Give it a try, first 3 episodes were perfect for me and if you don’t really like it by then, this is probably not for you.
Wow Ep 9: Na-u conducting + Sohyang’s (나가거든 + 레퀴엠 Lacrimosa) was such a legendary performance. And Jong Ho from ATEEZ has a very nice singing voice too; reminds me of one of those seasoned ballad singers.
I love how people were complaining earlier about JDM’s sheepy, follower-like teammates, but look at what happened…
Ikr!! Seongbeom’s laughter was so out of character that it was freaky, the tension and stress there must have really piled up on him.
As for the girls, I mean in this case MJ volunteered herself and picked Hyeseon, while JDM chose Mina—apart from his mentioned reason, it was the best choice if he wanted MJ to survive in the deathmatch (since the remaining 3 were Xitsuh/Acau/Seongbeom). So it was kinda of an it is what it is situation instead of a gender thing (from my perspective).
dk what viewing lens some of you guys have, but obviously we want the most competent and skilled players to go…
I love how people were complaining earlier about JDM’s sheepy, follower-like teammates, but look at what happened now—he’s the only one on the opposite team in that devil team of 4, but he’s still single-handedly carrying their asses. Meanwhile, Steve (who thinks he’s good at Mafia games but is actually terrible at them) did nothing, while Eonkyu uselessly trolled the game (what is bro thinking fr).
Steve got lucky that he got saved once again…
Xitsuh played well, but JDM angle of approach and words were just too convincing and logical so I don’t blame him tbh.
And what was that boring ahh deathmatch game? Felt like they were just mindlessly building their own areas on the fly with no clear strategy in mind.
dk what viewing lens some of you guys have, but obviously we want the most competent and skilled players to go far in such brainy survival game show. you might not like JDM, but you can’t deny hes the strongest player this season by far and for me it wasn’t as annoying since he has the skills to back it up, and he proves it so every time unlike people like steve and eonkyu, who blunders here and there/do poorly in contrast to their high-horse tone. afterall, there’s a fine line between confidence and arrogance and it’s separated by their results/performance.
Ep10: super individualist yurisa playing as a team? the world must be ending... jokes aside, it’s really nice to watch her play when she’s motivated, girl is really only willing to play with people she acknowledges intellectually eh. also, she wasn’t lying about the altar mentioned earlier on too
yeah agreed! I usually skip a lot, but I didn't for eps 9. Something always happened each rounds, they think all…
Will have to see if Seong Beom will keep the teams exactly the same or not first since he’s the winner. I’m sure MJ had some input during their discussion but it probably didn’t air since it wasn’t that significant/or of a gamechanger degree, and from that I’d also guess that she probably wouldn’t make a deep run? Since she’s basically given zero screentime lol, we shall see.
Ep 9 was so good. I really hope this will bring out the competitiveness that’s slumbering (kinda) in Jinho and he will take on a more proactive role. Jang Dongmin has been going all-out since he respect, and are aware of Jinho’s capabilities after being friends with him for so many years. Some people will probably hate on Yurisa’s play after this, but honestly it’s very fitting with her character in bloody game so far, so I wasn’t that surprised by the ‘damage’, even as a huge fan of Jinho who is cheering for him too. I really liked that Jinho accepted the result (with grace imo), even though he’s still mad which is perfectly understandable. He understands that ‘that’ is part of the play and essence of the survival game itself, so he doesn’t whine like some others would. Still I’m looking forward to his revenge or counterattack in the subsequent games. The cast gets along fine in irl if you watch their episode reviews so I hope people will not take the context out of the game itself too seriously. I’m actually happy that Hyunseo got dropped but Pani Bottle was like a honest comic relief character who is fun to keep around and have playmaking potential, but I agree that skill takes precedence in such a show so, oh well. JDM as always, a MONSTER RAHHHHH.
