Does anyone else think that the synopsis is a bit inaccurate?

After all these years, I still think that TW dramas have the chemistry thing down out of all the countries -that is when they do it right. I feel like their sweet spot is a fine mixture of fact and fantasy.

Sometimes a production company/station will piggy back a show's couple on another to attract viewers. It didn't work for me because I cannot stand this one.

thanks for your thoughtful reply

Love Jasper! I find the plot unpredictable (as someone who hasn't read the novel) and that in itself is lovely. The chemistry is fantastic!

If I am triggered by this, why would you make a comment on it? You could have just offered your opinion about this issue instead of trying to discredit what I have to say by saying , in other words, that I am being too sensitive about it.

In Big Bag theory, I don't think they take a white peron and paints his face brown and call him indian. Neither do they use one to mock the way a south indian person might speak English. There are other issues as well including the fact that he also turns out to be this super muay thai guy. All put together, there is a huge element of racism in this show.

I don't really follow the show BBT all that much, so I never saw the mockery of Raj as you pointed out but if that's the case then it's just as repulsive and I wouldn't find it funny. A woman with an hijab wearing a bikini is pretty bad but, in this case, it is insidious because, as with your comment, it's being excused away.

Wow this is so textbook melo. I started out liking the show and then it all took a turn for the worst. There is certainly no finesse here.

i see.

the acting here was a little too over the top and it's not like i haven't seen this story or these characters elsewhere. this drama is a major disappointment for me because, since they approached the subject, i thought they had something different to say. however, there wasn't much available in the plot. i just got a storyline that traversed little distance, not much character development, and a main character who was in a coma until the penultimate episode (16 episode framework). hmm...

I started watching and was gripped by how dark and intense it was and yet I was nervous that I would be duped. At first, I thought "this character better get the girl he's so complex". Then I saw the clown. I started to suspect that it wouldn't end the way I wanted with this amazing character, so I skipped to the last episode. Lo and behold, the clown got the girl. So glad I missed a headache of a show. I still love YJG's acting. I imagine he'll have a long career with the years he already has under his belt.

can't finish this. it's soooo boring. it was clear that the role was written for the actor like all his other dramas. his past dramas were excellent, but here, i wasn't impressed. i have nothing to say for the FL.

"He's an idol that the general public love, who manages to "convert" fans to listen to EXO and has more achievements and endorsements than one person can know what to do with."
Are you saying that most fans who listen to EXO become EXO fans because of him and not other members? The last part of your statements sounds like fangirling and doesn't contribute much to your article.

wow, william chan... i cannot stand his acting even with a ten-foot pole. i find he takes himself way too seriously and appears egocentric. tbh, i cannot tell if it's his real personality or if that is the way he's been marketed (he may be, in reality, a nice guy and a good musician -- haven't heard his music). still, i dropped every one of his dramas because of his "i'm too cool for school" vibe in combination his mediocre acting skills.

The blatant mockery of the "Thai" in this drama is repulsive. The country recently caught flack for doing "blackface." I hope they learned their lesson and will stop using outright prejudice towards minorities as humour.

Maybe put a spoiler alert for this review.

Wow. That was so boring and sappy. I feel bad for JKY. He's totally been typecasted since My Ajusshi.

Korea did develop a partnership (mentorship?) with Thailand on cultural products at some point. That became apparent to me about four years ago. Thailand also consumes a lot of Korean cultural products.

It's so sad. I wanted to skip the scenes with JSY right at the first scene with her but I waited. Then, she started having monologues and that was all I could take. Won't get past episode 3 because I'm skipping so many scenes.

I got to say that that was the most random show ever. It cycled through 3 different genres at least from the beginning to the end.

I stuck with this drama until episode 12 because I saw that they were bringing in stronger actors as the show progressed. Still, I find Confession suffers from a weak and predictable plot, a ridiculous character relationship web, and lousy dialogue which makes even the veteran actors seem over the top. Otherwise, the pacing is good, and I'm surprised that the background sounds-music doesn't bother me as it does with most dramas these days. Can't say I will finish it.
