why people here are so hung up on what other people think ? i see people saying i was going to watch it but the…
When Life Gives You Tangerines initially had a rating below 8 and people were saying the same thing. Just give it time, there are some people who just want to troll.
Yes, a really swell guy. Thinks that women belong in the kitchen and should definitely ALWAYS do what the husband…
The one thing I'll say is that I disagree with that viewpoint, but that interview was also 10 years ago. People change, and that mindset was also not uncommon at the time.
The way the other commenter worded it was also disingenuous and not what he said.
I don't understand why people who didn't watch the show are coming here to start some cdrama vs kdrama war. Genuinely, I now find so many cdrama fans so annoying, despite liking some of their shows.
Can we just talk about the show? Events or plot points that actually happened? What we liked or didn't in concrete points (rather than vague statements, because you didn't actually watch it)?
The director makes films. The Man Standing Next, Inside Men, etc., were all positively reviewed, and I think one…
If you haven't seen Mother, I recommend it; it is definitely one of Bong Joon Ho's best. I agree that A Silent Sea was pretty mediocre, but I'm hopeful the screenwriter will do a better job with this because her strength seems to lie with more grounded mysteries/thrillers (although we'll see if she can do a political thriller, specifically).
I doubt this drama will be a super-hit in terms of viewership, but what matters more is the quality of this project. Much of the press surrounding this show has been about a difference in direction for the Korean TV industry (dramas/TV are still seen as below film, unlike in the US, where TV can be just as prestigious as cinema). I think the industry is flirting with the idea of doing serious mini-series like the West does.
I am 50 50 on this..it can turn out to be very good or average..the writer and director doesn't have any prior…
The director makes films. The Man Standing Next, Inside Men, etc., were all positively reviewed, and I think one of them was Korea's Oscar entry for Best International Feature Film one year.
Harbin (2024) was also a box-office hit, even though I didn't think the movie was that great.
The screenwriter is also highly respected. She wrote for Bong Joon-ho (Mother) and recently wrote for Hur Jin-ho (A Normal Family, which had a positive reception at TIFF).
The intention of this drama is also to be a bit more "prestigious," if that makes sense. More like HBO than network TV (if you're American).
Not really. The Philippines is well-known to having the highest consumption of Korean stuff, and this show is…
It has high ratings on Chinese/Japanese review sites, too. I'm a bit surprised by the comments on here that are anti-LGBT, anti-abortion, etc. I figured a site like mdl would be warmer to those types of things.
MDL ratings have been a joke for about a year now. They aren't reliable at all
8.4+ rating in currently watching, 1.1 for dropped. That generally means something has been review bombed. The rating will likely increase down the line, but still, it's worth noting.
If you understand Japanese, Hiro actor was quite bad. Even in Japan, he's known as just a pretty face. Respectfully, I completely disagree.
I'd also say both Kim Seon Ho and Go Youn Jung did pretty well, and I don't think this production was "western" either.

Idk, I'm too employed to care about whatever it is. Looking forward to this drama though!

No, it's just what it will seem like if you follow a country's news. I think the crime rate even decreased this year.
