I agree with everything you said! I really liked this drama, though I rated it an 8 I think because it did feel kind of slow at some points. Still, I was surprised by how much I ended up liking it, considering it's more melo than I usually go for.
One thing of note. I have never been a fan of Hyun Bin. I have always thought he was overrated as an actor. Especially after Secret Garden. However, he is exceptional here. I loved him in this and loved his character. Also, Bo Ra has the best fashion of any character in any drama I have seen.
They often blur out commercial logos. Like on cars or coffee cups lol I guess that's not censorship but yeah,…
A lot of the blurred out logos are due to DF or Viki not having licenses to show those brand names. Like for instance, in Reply 1988, a lot of logos and scenes showing on their tvs were blurred out while watching on DF. However, if I watched on Dramacool, they were not blurred out. So not all of the logo blurring has to do with the network at all.
LOL, you can tell some people are only voting based on their bias. Moorim and Moon Lovers shouldn't have…
Just because you did not like something doesn't mean others feel the same way. I do feel the polls kind of seem off balance, but oh well. People have different tastes. I know I totally disagree with you, for instance, about Moon Lovers.
I have been really intetested in lips the last couple of years, because from what I have noticed, the gradiant lip application seems to be exclusively a Korean fashion trend. I have not noticed it in Western fashion, nor in other Asian fashion. I think it looks really neat and have been wanting to try it. (*^_^*)
I guess I have to speak for everyone who found your review unhelpful. Even though I didn't, can't bring…
I do not dislike you at all chingu. :) Thank you for your honest critique. I will address some of the things you mentioned, though.
Overall, I was trying really hard not to make my review too long, so that is the reason some things were left out. I especially was concerned with only choosing those cast members to mention, but those are the main ones that stood out to me so I felt they took priority in my review.
I left out commenting about the details of the plot on purpose.For one, I did not want to spoil anyone by accident. That and the plot details are already there on the drama's page. I usually do not rehash a synopsis in a review because it takes up too much space and is already readily available. If a drama page lacks a synopsis, I would feel ok doing it then, however.
I am not sure, though, what you mean by my review of the story is lacking. Is it because I did comment on the writing? Again, that is because of it already being rather long. I thought it was enough at the time to emphasize my enjoyment of the drama and the actor's performances, but I see now what you mean, if that is indeed what you mean. :p
As for my opinion vs.observation, I have to disagree with you there, chingu. A review is not a recap. It is not for people to just summarize what happened. It is for people to express their overall opinions about what they watched, good, bad and neutral. So, I have to say that I feel you might be wrong in what you think a review actually is, with that particular comment.
With the above in mind, what parts did you feel were unimportant sentences, out of curiosity? I don't think any of them could be viewed as unimportant or unneccessary from a technical viewpoint. I felt I used proper description and gave sufficient reasoning for the opinions I expressed. I am, however, a very descriptive writer. I tend to use a lot of adjectives and get rather wordy, so maybe that is what you are talking about?
Anyway, I thank you again for your thoughts! I will keep them in mind when next I write a review. (*^_^*)
