If anyone have ever seen Asian romance dramas, they have good knowledge of how hero-heroine play ping pong for most part. If heros had given up after the multiple non responses, there wouldn't have been any of crazy fandom to begin with as there wouldn't have any of those famous drama stories. . If hero does then its romance, if anyone other does then its dangerous. Its the audience that romanticised it from the beginning.
If hero or heroine or any other character accepts the "no" then their feelings are questioned - were those feelings amounted to only that? - no effort, got over quite easily and what not - such generic responses are played on and even taken as part of judgement to suit their own narratives.. If efforts are put then that character is termed dangerous.
Writer being a hack and doing copy paste is clear from start.
Typical copy paste korean romance drama with almost no redemind feature. The one keeping this drama up is the Heroine's personality - I don't think these caricature of characters can do much for non existent story. The 1st week had +ve tone - which is good,but writer put no effort in characters and story at all. As it happens with most drama romance will bring down whatever of value is left in the show.
Overall - typical below avg. drama - heroine the saving grace.
Writer saw 3-4 tv dramas and mixed them all together to come up with this travesty of whatever it is. direction is equally bad. 1st week is setup week of dramas and this start not ignites any confidence that it will go better.
Still entertaining. To keep maintain this "fun" factor - writer's idea is to go big - and that big means do something that might surprise the audience - whether it makes any sense is all together a different matter - It's a tv drama so writer is taking full liberty here. Wife for past 3 weeks is behaving like an side character whose purpose is too assist hero so he could shine almost everytime. Heroine right now is that cheap workforce who can be managed or changed anytime and it won't make any difference. Heroine's job now is to make some hasty decisions and get into trouble so as to Hero could feel the trouble and villains could smile and writer could stretch the story for 2 more weeks.
The story's biggest weakness turned out to be who is the big brother - The writer took it too far. A trick once or twice is fun - after that it becomes a stale food.
As i said it from 1st week itself - The big brother is too much to be a human. Humans come together to achieve goals - cliche usually is hero going superhero mode and doing things and that's what Chang Ho is doing. But big brother is hyped by everyone for not much reason and general citizens aren't much involved in the story, for except, this episode's last few minutes. All these weeks repetitive ping pong is being played.
Entertaining- sure. Interesting in between - sure, copy-paste writing - yes. typical cliches - yes. Writer trying hard to make audience guess everyone as the hyped big brother - yes.
This week surely was entertaining. game is very simple and everyone is playing it simple.
Writer actually hyped big brother this time pretty well. who is big brother turned into a fun competition now. Writer know well this is a tv show and shows it as it is. Audience can see its just a tv drama which does take things from real world and present it in a manner where feeling to have justice somehow are accepted, approved and gratified.
Overall, pretty enjoyable watch and so far not so over the top, except hero going +75000 power boost in a week. Wife is playing important role here.
This drama is entertaining. As i earlier said disney is putting more energy into foreign audience and that's why they are aiming at one genre. ratings of this show are good.
There is nothing new or special in the show and chang ho is soft so these movements look a bit funny but overall writer is able to build the tempo. the hype factor is much needed in this kind of shows and we have one - is chang ho the one or not.
There are cliches and lack of sense but well, that you get from almost all tv dramas.
This writer likes to give more boost to female characters and here miho is fighting good.
overall a good fun and timepass. This show does need more turns for sure to keep the momentum.
This drama being aired on MBC actually suits is very well. The situational comedy is typical cartoon. Kwak dong yeon has major role here and i think Big mouse the hype is intentionally build in the media and its more of a struggle between wealthy cronies vs. law agencies. And a place where law and order has no value and where politics comes in as a mediator. I don't think there will be any one specific as a leader of big mouse but it will surely bring much needed changes in the hero.
Episodes are fun and as per expectations logic out of the window, but that we not expect much from other shows either. It was a fun 1st week - more action will be in upcoming weeks with less sense and more vigour. One good thing with this writer is he gives enough screen as well as action time to the heroines. And here we can clearly see how much Heroine is important as a lover and as well as a wife. The independence and confidence of heroine makes it far more better watch.
Overall, a nice timepass easy watch for now. Later on it will be - yeah yeah catch those guys at any cost now feelings.
I want to say Disney+ has come with better shows and mostly action ones compared to Netflix. Netflix has moved to spray and pray it gonna get some romance nonsense hits. Disney+ has cleverly chosen their genre and its mostly marketed at foreign audience.
I, for one, thought 2 episodes were quite long - You feel everything artificial about the characters. Twins - a diamond arrow looks good on screen, and we have a secret agent - that's it. usually kdramas ave story for their 1t 3 weeks but i think this starting week was on low side and might sow pick up some pace in next 2 weeks. 2 episodes and we saw things we have seen multiple times before. Neither excitement nor surprise - that's not good for a such genre. characters need to put lot of efforts to not be recognised as direct copy-paste. The spend most time showing us how rich the spectacle dude is whose actor is a typical typecast. The director tried typical methods to tempt the audience but nope it didn't worked at all. Daughter-in-law is a zoker card.
good they did was how gun guy and hero confronted each other.
Overall, it was manageable 1st week - next 2 weeks gonna decide where the momentum is. usually kdramas fall in quality is very steep after 3rd week. Let's see.
I saw the trailer and thought its your typical corny action kdrama. But, i think 1st episode turned out well and the reason is hero. All the -ve characters are the same but how many dramas have hero-heroine already together and doing well? Hero's character is given good pointers. Father-in-law adds to the hero. so family dynamic is good, especially for a kdrama. -ve characters are typical copy paste characters but Big Mouse adds to the story. You will find it familiar, quite familiar, if you have seen number of action kdramas. but i do think it has potential because and because of hero alone and if Wife aka heroine chips in this can be an above average kdrama. Overall it does look fun - atleast for 1st 3 weeks.
A little harsh but I get your drift"Heroine's trouble is merely a prop and rest of the shenanigans have no logic…
that's the truth. its not more than a prop here. Then we add soup opera of muh parents or muh family to make it more dramatic, usually happens with every kdrama's hero or heroine.
Lmao, is this some new kind of copy paste meme i missed? Either way, can't take it seriously, bc it has a strong…
miserable n delusional enough to cry over a fiction and then getting personal and using expletives. someone should better heed their own advice and find something that makes them happier.
The show is worst of its kind and maybe the worst of 2022 in kdrama world. The show circle around same old cringe cliches and brings nothing +ve on the table. Heroine's trouble is merely a prop and rest of the shenanigans have no logic and full of nonsense. This kind of absurd writing getting all the resources is a big waste. Even foolishly made tiktoks have more substance. wishful thinking and delusion galore is what it amounts to.
