The Korean Daddy
Ep 4 - the romance is heating up, some nice chemistry hapenning and the story is developing but I can sense some tears are coming!
K Dad is still hot lol.
Still a lot of negative comments and low ratings and Indefinitely know some sre from seeing the dubbed version which is terrible, so people just watch the WeTV version only trust me it’s like a normal BL series, the dubbed version has got lots of terrible sound issues.
Hmm 3 eps in and it’s middle of the road for me.
I see a lot of comments that people are confused as to why this hasn’t been doing very well and why it’s not well known. I think we have to remember that some series get backing through their marketing campaigns and some series actually put a huge budget towards promoting the series through many different avenues and media types, promoting the lead actors, live appearances, sponsors and marketing the OST. Without that kind of backing it has to rely on word-of-mouth and online activity which can only get you so far. Without some serious coin it has to fall back to the cast, production value and word of mouth. But these need to be done extremely well. There are many smaller budget BLs that have achieved this so it’s not impossible.
I also think the semi dubbed version that was released was seen without knowing about the Gaga version like me so at first I woukd have given this a very low rating.
It is still early days for this one so who knows.
Likes: script is pretty good with an interesting grass roots bad boy done good storyline.
Not so much: some minor issues, the sound and background music is more like a background concert so over emphasises/overbears the scene. Acting is solid in parts then drops. Casting 43 yo for 28 yo is just too far a reach. Major issue for me is the editing, many earlier Thai BLs struggled with this and they still haunt me so I’m getting those kinds of flashbacks lol.
Outcome: I’ll keep watching, the story is too intriguing and Korean daddy is daddy’ing 🤣.
