Why hasn't this been tagged as a comedy too? I have not stopped laughing at Hira's antics #SuspiciousKun
Genres and tags are rarely pre-established before airing. So any that are tagged before airing are based off of previous installments and trailers/clips.
shouldn't he get Crew credits for Kingdom since he was the choreo for the zombies?either way, he was fun to watch…
Heâs got quite a bunch of crew credits. But those particular positions arent included on MDL yet, so they cant be listed at the moment. You cant have a blank position, and it would be incorrect to label him as something else. The closest things MDL currently has as options are âfight choreographerâ and âstunt coordinatorâ - neither of which he does.

Thank you so much for explaining. I can totally see this interpretation. I understood some of it myself (the bodies), but not all of it (the final scene with the two kokoys).
I was (and am) a little confused in places. And the FL is super unlikable and illogical.But the performances were…
For one thing, is the MC a trans man or trans woman? Because an argument could go either way - especially since we dont know exactly how long the FL has known them.
It also wasnt totally clear that they switched bags (and thus jars) at first. And if they knew they were, why were they reading each otherâs stars/wishes?
Was there a translation error in the last scene? Was it supposed to be âwhen you put contacts on meâ? But that still doesnt seem to answer the question. Contacts arent masculine nor feminine. So how would that correlate to when MC realized they were trans?
I was (and am) a little confused in places. And the FL is super unlikable and illogical.
But the performances were good, the atmosphere was well-done, and it seems to speak to the confusion that trans youth may feel. I wonder if the story wouldve felt more enjoyable if focused on Erek Linâs character rather than the FL.
Thats always nice to hear! Yours is really helpful too. I actually didnt know about many of them, and had lowkey forgotten about a couple of the ones i had watched.
Im going to link yours up above in my description if thatâs okay?
Also a note to other viewers: Has subtitles in English, Chinese, Korean, German, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Vietnamese, French, Dutch, Malay, Indonesian, Turkish and Arabic.
OK. Clearly your trolling with that 3.5 but I can't let this just sit here. I may have to start leaving actual…
I don't want to attack you, but to bring up points that these other commenters didn't:
Between Us was meant to be compared to UWMA. They marketed it as such. They used some of the same footage. They purposefully skipped important scenes and context because they were included in UWMA. This was 100% meant to be affiliated with UWMA. And that means it gets compared. For good, bad, and everything in between. It's not like Love By Chance and TharnType which theoretically connected, but not really. Or Tonhon Chonlatee and Ai Long Nhai. Or Unforgotten Night and Love Syndrome. Or En of Love and Love Mechanics. Even outside of BL, at Lost Tomb, they aren't advertised as intrinsically connected. They all pretty much stand on their own, in advertisement, in framing, and more. So changing some of the story and characteristics didn't matter. Because they weren't marketed as being connected. Some you only found out when you started realizing that the characters all had the same names, and even then, you'd be wrong for comparing. Because they weren't framed to be compared. BU and UWMA were meant to be. So you get what comes with that.
But even looking outside of my UWMA lens - which, believe it or not, I am able to do - the writing here was sloppy. The bgm was poorly chosen. Some of the acting was not convincing. This was obviously meant to be taken seriously, but it failed in my eyes. Especially since i know what this director is capable of. What this cast is capable of. Because i've seen it. Saying something is good by older standards is not progress. Itd be different if this was released in 2018. Then maybe i could say âyea, it was good for a 2018 work.â But it wasnt. Weâre judging it by todayâs standards. Because thatâs when it was released. And I would say that even if compared to Love By Chance, this director's 2018 work, this one still failed. Because at least the main couple in LBC got more focus. And wasn't as repetitive. And the cameo couple from the "connected" franchise was better incorporated. Hinted. In such a way that fans in-the-know were giddy, but unfamiliar viewers didn't feel burdened and confused.
I use the full range of numbers in my reviews and ratings. Because why else are they there? And if I drop, I don't rate. Simple ast that. If something is bad, but obviously fulfilled its task, i'll rate it higher. Plenty of people are generous in their ratings, so having a harsher critic is good to balance out the fluff. Obviously people agree with my comments, even if they don't agree with my numbers - and that's what matters. Because everyone's numbers are going to be different. There is no objective way of measuring ratings. Especially between different people. The only objective metric you can apply is across all of your own ratings. And I never claimed mine were objective, or measured, or had any sort of metric. It's based on gut feelings. And I stand by it.
As for your last sentence, you missed the part where I'm familiar with the director, the cast, and yes... even the writer. Let's not try to label this an out-of-date masterpiece in their portfolio when, in my eyes, they have produced better works in their past.
Now, was i too harsh in my rating? Maybe? Ive come back and rerated titles before - both up and down. Itâs possible that i might come back some months down the line and re-rate it. Maybe to a 5? đ€·ââïž i dont see me going above that though. And it doesnt de-legitimize my comments and my initial feelings. Right now, even days later, this feels like a 3.5 for what it was supposed to be. What it was framed to be. And what it couldve been, knowing what this team is capable of.
