That japanese drama is totally different from this drama - anything added just for the sake. This drama hardly qualifies for 12+ half of cheap comedy trick in romance dramas is to show outside of love hotels. does that make them 18+
Overall a fine start of a typical drama that not needs over the top dramatic extras to make up for a story, but, we are getting one next week.
As expected this week ratings are even more bad. someone idiotically compared a broadcaster with a web platform - completely ignoring other web platforms. conflating trend with ratings itself showed folly in estimation of facts. even bad publicity is a publicity. trend not means everyone is up for the content.
reactions have gone even more -ve
You playing 2005 story in 2023 n relying on few idols will get as far this much. Material matters.
This writer is playing cliches in the most simplest manner. The other writer is running a scam n ruining the whole rom-com genre can learn a thing or two from this writer.
Those who complain about chemistry n forced couple - like any other korean romance isn't the same - rarely story n characters have realistic flow in dramas, more apparent in kdramas who run on very corny n flippant filters.
Those who see - want to see - feel - can see the couple. as simple as that.
I said it 1st week itself - this is your typical low quality korean romance. Korean novels usually are above avg. quality but expecting quality from a webtoon is foolishness n it really loses as a tv media - then you have a thirsty heroine paraded around by writer who has no game in the story or plot. Fan made videos put more effort in their content than writer+director did. It has no substance overall - merely a fanservice product playing same copy-paste.
ratings aren't good - more like at the tip being called rating. Audience reactions aren't much +ve either - this drama can be short lived if ratings n audience views not change by next 2 weeks.
this show's comedy is of +ve value - simple but funny. As usual of a kdrama - romance is the weak point of the show. feels forced - fantasy pointers also weak -
taec yeon won -is doing good job in comedy n i think on its merit his character feels more engaging n real compared to the other heros doing romance this season.
Every guy is selling suits this season - so no one ahead in promoting brands n products.
This is better romance of 2023 among all asian romance dramas. If you consider a rom-com even then it's ahead of others - it is using cliches as suchv so turning out to be the best summer drama in its genre and if you ignore cliches then drama is quite a likable family drama.
I don't like thai dramas much as they all look copy-paste n not for adult audience but this drama has that feeling n that quality is coming from the source aka novel.
it is turning out to be the best of spring+summer. Dialogues n their delivery is top quality. characters are pretty straight forward. king's time scenes hv good impact - in present some of their made decisions look pretty silly but can digest it. It's the same for every asian drama out there - no sense no logic moments easily taken because a tv drama, especially in kdramas.
funny scenes are not forced - except that fruit scene. Sarcastic social take is in every episode.
Overall, efforts put - entertaining , above average writing - director doing the job.
Totally agree with you and I don’t understand the rating
ratings of dramas hv been good last one and half year - most likely it's hyped idols matchup - good business but more damaging to romance genre overall. Most infuriating is whole team taking audience as low iq idiots.
no story, no plot - characters have nothing they aren't even caricatures - the whole scam is running on bringing 2 idols in one frame - it's 75 minutes advertisement of dozen of products. one of the worst to come out of industry in recent years. ratings aren't measurement of quality but surely give broadcaster to keep producing such low quality content.
what a travesty it is - such a trash being made n into cinema halls. korean cinema better than tv but this one actually level of korean cinema - feel for those wasted money on it.
cringe, bad presentation - but that is almost every romance kdrama fantasy korean romance lacks creativity n sincerity n all jump into king's times to create a very copy-paste phony romance. Sincere efforts r hardly is there in any drama so better be honest n show ur true colours aka goals. Director done pretty bad job here too.
thirst job is too big in this one. from grooming to young child pink goes hand in hand. workplace is as usual a prop ala very much porn setup. no substance, more booze advertising, more glycerin tears with good dose of every1-in-korea-mentally-unstable scenario - muh family, muh parents need magic of romance that will sort out everything . heroine buzzing around hero like an insect makes 4 oh awesome story n character - delusions galore it is nonstop.
Writer seems like got the job through connections or up in arms to ruin every cliche n trope. Writer is doing copy-paste - that's almost every k-writer, does - that's the only thing they know - but this writer has copied his/her own show - bro-sis scenes r same in all 4 episodes. this writer is product of nepotism - no sense, no logic - no substance - just selling 2 idols in 1 frame. - Good ratings make a good business - true here - the only merit of this trash. This is why you can't talk about broadcasters alone - demand n supply - they r serving what is asked for. If you lap up whatever being served then you are one promoting such.
