Choosing peace of mind and focusing on what you enjoy is completely valid. However, leaving constructive criticism or ‘bad reviews’ can also be important. Thoughtful feedback helps creators understand what worked and what didn’t, enabling growth and improvement in their craft. It’s not about perfection, but about fostering dialogue and accountability, which can elevate storytelling over time.

That said, it’s entirely up to the individual whether they want to engage critically or simply enjoy the work. Both approaches have value.
However, my brain is wired to Critically engage with content so, I will always have questions and deep analysis of stuff. I don't believe in agreeing with people, I'm happy with forming my own opinions. Sometimes I agree sometimes I don't.
Wishing you peace and happy watching—goodbye!"

Who sets the standard for respectful critique? How do you know it's respectful critique. You are not saying anything, this is not North Korea where there is censorship.

I've been on here for long enough to know how people don't like others to express their different opinion. You have to agree that boring shows are a "masterpiece" because some Oppa deluded Koreaboos can be happy.

I'm not here to make you happy.

The problem is we have different ways of seeing and understanding film. Do you even know what a plot hole means?

A plot hole is an inconsistency, gap, or error in a story’s narrative that contradicts the logic or established facts of the plot. It often occurs when events, character actions, or outcomes don’t align with the story’s internal rules, previously established information, or reality. Plot holes can break the audience's suspension of disbelief because they leave questions unanswered or unresolved.


It doesn't mean that they have to explain everything. The fact that most people find the Hyunmin storytelling confusing says something about how the writer tied the loose ends.

All I can say is there is usually general consensus if a drama is good, even people that are not fans of a genre or a writer will agree with the mastery of the drama.

If you're only getting people that like the author or genre then no the writer failed somewhere.

According to you it's the best you have seen. You can go online to check other reviews. There is a reason why the drama is getting those reviews. Ratings on other platforms range btwn 7- 7.5 ( not this blind praise on MDL)

Stop trying to make it a me issue.... Here is one review I just read from another newspaper

"Mawkish supernatural story of two halves. Despite some clever subterfuge on the part of its creator Kang Full, and some affecting scenes, the show’s narrative lacks proper exposition."

This was a review by a movie critics, so stop this weird narrative about all dramas not having plot holes.

Dismissing others as 'stupid' or 'skipper watchers' just because they don’t share your opinion seems like an oversimplification. Not everyone has to see the narrative the way you do—some people prefer critical thinking over blind praise.

People who don't agree with a narrative are often labeled as haters due to a mix of emotional, social, and psychological factors:

1. Defensiveness:
When someone challenges a widely accepted narrative, those who support it may feel personally attacked or defensive. Labeling the dissenters as "haters" dismisses their arguments without engaging with them.


2. Simplification:
It’s easier to label someone as a "hater" than to unpack their criticism. This oversimplifies the disagreement and avoids deeper conversations or scrutiny.


3. Emotional Bias:
People often connect emotionally to ideas, beliefs, or narratives. When someone disagrees, it can feel like an attack on their identity, leading to a negative, emotional response, such as calling them "haters."


4. Group Mentality:
In-group/out-group dynamics play a role. Those who disagree may be perceived as "outsiders" or antagonists, leading to dismissive labels like "haters" to reinforce group cohesion and unity.


5. Misinterpretation of Criticism:
Constructive criticism or a difference in perspective is sometimes misunderstood as negativity or hostility. The term "hater" generalizes all disagreement as malicious or unfounded.


6. Social Media Influence:
Online platforms amplify this labeling because nuanced discussions often get replaced by quick, emotionally charged reactions. Calling someone a "hater" can shut down debate and attract support from like-minded individuals.



Ultimately, labeling someone as a "hater" is often a defense mechanism that avoids engaging with differing viewpoints or critical feedback. It simplifies complex disagreements into black-and-white terms, which can hinder open dialogue and understanding.

He is alive, he wakes up from the coma but can still see ghosts.

Well it's mainly because the body of work belongs to the same writer (Kang Full) . So they maybe they thought a Marvel Cinematic Universe thing is fun. Or maybe the stories are connected or not connected. Remains to be seen.

I agree since the show also involves a bit of world building and it's really not clear what the rules are for this "world" because everyone seems to have a different outcome and even some of the "established" rules doesn't seem to apply to others.

Actually you should be more worried if you think you understood everything. Chances are you made it up in your head.

Just because you explained something to someone with a "running theory" doesn't mean you have really answered the question.

Some of the explanations create more questions than answers so don't expect people to just agree with you and feel they are being combative because your explanation is not good enough.

Or maybe it's the intention of the writer to leave you with questions. It could also be a writing style.

The idea of not remembering is coming out of Korean tradition or some other Asian cultures believes that if you suicide you won't see or remember your loved ones. So it's not coming directly from the show/manhwa. It's a running theory.

I would have thought maybe the number of times the ghost resuitated him or forced him to live by starting his heart has something to do with it.

But it also raises alot of questions for me.

If you say? "running theory" then it's something not expressly shown or highlighted in the show. It's a theory you came up to explain something. Don't be made even that "theory" doesn't make sense to others.

My problem is people here treating me like I'm crazy coz I don't buy into their theories.

The only thing that seems uniform is that there is no uniformity in this world. Different answers/solutions for different patients/peopl
e.

The reason why people everywhere (other platforms) asking about Hyunmin and feeling confused is because of the inability of the show to explain it's own concepts. The show doesn't give you an answer as to why he can't remember.

Yes people are coming up with suggestions but where is it explicitly shown in show?.

A masterpiece whether adapted from manga/manhwa/novel will make sure everyone understands by providing clues in the show etc.

It's still garbage and trashy show where most people are left with questions. I don't have a problem with people expression their own feelings, just because you like something doesn't mean it's a universal fact.

MDL is known for having blockheads who can't accept other people having a different opinion just because they like an actor or something.

Learn to separate the writing of the show from your favorite actors. They can star in trashy shows and people are allowed to say it if they don't agree.

Depends if you like chinese family dramas. You know those stories abt old parents, grown up kids with their own problems and families, worrying about old parent etc. Focus is on family, healing and of course filial piety no matter what an ass your parent is. They talk about real issues, it's not lovey-dovey romance.
That sort of thing.

I liked it although the whole family made me angry with the way they treated the girl child and how their dad
was so annoying.

I even read the novel off the internet.

There is a bit of romance,FL gets a boyfriend but it's more family drama.

They don't want you to say that here. They want you to pretend it was the best drama of 2024.

Thanks maybe I will just find the manhwa/webtoon and read it. Until, I'm satisfied. Gotta go though.
