I'll take your word for it as I am neither an industry expert nor I work in the same industry. But I still feel there would be a lot of pressure on these producers to deliver what they promised to save maybe any ongoing or future projects, like you said happens everywhere so script changes can inadvertently happen with or without Netflix's direct intervention. Networks like TvN and SBS probably would have done the same, and even more so involved in it as they relied on revenues and shows direction definitely helped that. However Netflix changed the game with astronomical budget shows and content that the current lineups from broadcast seems dull in comparison. People saying Netflix should make kdramas anymore probably mean that the old tv shows that they loved maybe gone forever becauser that meant slim pickings for the broadcasters. Netflix also changed their release strategy for many popular shows (ST5, Squid Game2, Bridgerton) whether that was a tactical approach or just delayed post-production stuff but the trend is quite apparent. Disney, Apple and Amazon all have shows doing just that. WLGYT was probably because of production issues but it certainly did help it. The show was emotionally heavy that binge watching would have been too much. Good show and the release schedule definitely helped. So maybe I think this could have also helped. And yeah, I call total bullshit on these reviews claiming to have watched all 12 episodes this early. Their reviews, good or bad, I wouldn't read too much into it.
Why people complaining about Netflix dropping every episodes all at once? It's nothing new, and you're not forced…
I do disagree in believing that Netflix had nothing to do with how the show will be made apart from just throwing some money. With budgets skyrocketing producers may have set their expectations equally high, and it won't be a farfetched idea to think they didn't control how the show was made eventhough the script and the story seems like they're from the creators of the show. Releasing them all at once was definitely a choice made by Netflix executives like even how they delayed this project. And as far as the ratings go, a lot of shows I have seen here with high score have disappointed me, and some with low have surprised me but this whole rating thing doesn't resonate on how you feel about the show but overall gives you an idea. Review bombs have happened everywhere else so this won't be the first place and unfortunately won't be the last.
