Drifter

and you won't find anyone who's more annoyed then me either! XD it sometimes annoys me to the point of foaming rage... i mean like wtf seriously, they can't even ATTEMPT to balance this bullshit, they just spam it out like shit into a toilet -.-

aight i like the sounds of that, feels like a healthy type, rather then those toxic shows with nothing but obsessive, stalking & down right creep & then some level exes/side ml that don't know how to politely put "F OFF"... thanks & i hope they follow webtoon as you described, that'll be a worthy watch then.

it's not off at all, blindly defending something just to justify your own view on it is "barking up the wrong tree" though... and what the focus of the show is is also irrelevant, cuz i didnt comment on the entire show itself, it's story, focus or anything else, i commented specifically on FML & what she does in her life within that show, there for anything else apart of that is irrelevant as it's not the point...

so either way, no 2nd male always fucking about & obsessing over FL like 99% other asian dramas? (you know the most abused & assfucked annoying cliche that asians can't seem to live without...), i mean i'd be more fine with it if they kept mixing it up every now and then, but always having 1 female & 2 guys is freaking annoying no matter how you look at it & it's not even like the 2nd ml ever TRULY cares for FL, he's always just an obsessive fuktard who waits 5 billion years like a vampire doing absolutely nothing & then when MC appears in her life he goes full obsessive stalker creepo mode (some down right behave like rapists...) & somehow audience is supposed to accept & enjoy that crap?! DAFUQ?!

idk if i'll be able to watch that one after seeing some shorts on yt of FL fucking undressing full nude for random ppl for "art"... fuck that shit... same bullshit as onlyfans cunts whining no one wants to date them after they're exposing themselfs to the entire world... fuk you expect to be doted on when the entire world sees you inside out? nah miss me with that hoe behavior...

it's not about "villain" role, it's about a dipshit obsessive jackass role, someone who does absolutely nothing for fucking decades while claiming he has feelings for someone, only to said decades later get all obsessive & doesn't know how to fuck off nor mind his business on any level when someone else shows interest in the one he claims to "love"... & this fucking bullshit cliche is being so overused in asian dramas it drives me up the fucking wall to the point i could murder someone who writes this scripts... asians literally can't create a romance drama without abusing this cliche no matter what -.- i come to watch romance & instead i get ass fucked... if i wanted that i'd go to prison instead....

hold UP, am i seeing this correctly? 1 ML & 2 FL?!?!?!?! not 1 FL and 2+ ML but the other way?!?!?! WOOOOOOOOOOOOT?! are we finally breaking the stereotypical bs of constantly having 1 female with infinite guys up her ass? if this is the case, this show will be a breath of absolutely divine fresh air on that note alone...

HE is enlisting quietly, it has nothing to do with reporters posting shit about him without his permission or even his knowledge... aka he's not making a spectacle out of it, like one would promoting their new drama & such things.

is the 3rd wheel monkey creep being annoying yet in MC/FL relationship or is he minding his own business? (i know this is a pointless ask considering this is a K-Drama we're talking about, so he's 100% being an annoying creep who doesn't know how to mind his own business, but oh well, figured i'd ask for hope of a surprise...)

See i hate it when you say "HBO Max" but then we go to HBO Max and go figure, the show ain't there... i'd like to think adding "It max not be available in some countries" at the end note for where it streams wouldn't be that hard or time consuming, now would it?...

Pure garbage....

FL as majority of them is a self-centered, ungrateful, uncaring, do-whatever-you-want, judgmental C who literally doesn't do anything she should do & expects everything to magically appear in front of her... she's way beyond stuck up thinking always she can just do whatever she wants & plot armor will simply protect her from all consequences period (if roles were reverse & MC was behaving 1% of how FL's usually do he'd be in jail in 2 seconds flat... -.-), instead of apologizing for her wrong doings both to MC job & personal relation, she goes on being condescending, ungrateful & completely unapologetic...

SML (i guess? the usual 3rd wheel for pointless love triangle bs that asians can't live without & it's always a 2 guy 1 hoe love triangle as well...), has apparently a god complex thinking he can do whatever he wants, blackmail ppl & force them to do what he wants, cuz he's what? some nobody worthless "director" of a show that wouldn't exist nor he would or his team without the sponsors & investors, the very sponsor he trying to blackmail & force into doing what he wants? yeah, show me in one realistic situation where that ever works... (news flash jackass, SPONSORS DON'T NEED YOU, you need THEM!!! it is NEVER the other way around no matter what...)

MC not much to say, i wish he had more balls though i guess, but since it's a so called "romantic" asian drama, MC & balls never go together, as no MC actually has what we real ppl like to call a spine & a pair of jingles to make him do what needs doing & stand up for himself, since this is pretty much every MC in every asian drama it's not worth even listing as a complaint anymore it's just a "feature" we can't do anything about...

oh & all of this homicide inducing rage for the audience in a whooping 1 episode & a half aka i haven't even finished 2 full episodes & i can't stand the level of stupidity they shoved into the show in that short amount of time -.-

(i mean seriously dude cmon... i'm fukken tired of FL's getting away with whatever crap they want cuz they got the jigglies & a hole... while when MC just wakes up the wrong way everyone shits on him like no tomorrow... this fukken double standard & absolute bullshit of inequality while always whining about "gender equality" even inside actual shows is beyond retarded... & asian shows never fail in this, i've yet to see one that didn't abuse this beyond reason)

says a donkey that fails to read anything but 1 sentence & ignores everything else, don't reply to be if all you can write is stupidity without even reading the very comment you reply on...

pretty sure you & me are watching 2 different shows an entire dimension apart... cuz i watched 3 episodes so far believing all comments about how insanely good this show is & i've seen absolutely 0 of anything being described in anyones comment, all i found is infinite bore fest dragging everything on so hard it gives you a headache & FL who gives up & runs away the moment something went wrong for the 1st time like the typical FL in asian dramas who just run away from everything & got no backbone to stick around (ofc except when it involves creepy loser side characters, they just stick around those & trust them without question till it's too late & plot armor needs to step in...)

everyone keeps saying how good this is, yet here i am 3 episodes in & i want to kill myself -.- how the F is this good, nothing but boring dragfest, typical creepy old fart always creeping around FL cuz he's too pathetic to confess his feeling decades ago, so he chooses to be an obsessive stalker instead & gets 500000 worse when MC shows up to show interest in FL & ofc then this MC is just pathetic... they trying to play teenagers in school while being grown ass adults is already disturbing enough to top it off he's acting childish all the time, FL who just gives up the moment something went wrong doing the typical FL setup "i gotta be moody and blame myself for everything in the universe then run away from it cuz that's how shit gets fixed" trope... then like i said the whole story so far is beyond boring, nothing is going on anywhere in any direction, everything is just dragging on like a dogs ass on a carpet after it took a shit -.-


Jesus christ, i swear to freaking god ya'll watching this are listening in language you don't understand & reading subtitles you can't read & watching something else while you got this show on & then pretend the show was good... cuz there's not a single thing you can tell me that happened that'll convince me or anyone else to force themselfs into watching 23 more episodes of this boring slop fest, not a damn chance... considering this is supposed to be a romantic drama with sports as it's story setup, the way FL is behaving so far, there's 0 chance you can expect any kind of romance till last 4-5 episodes maybe, at that point why the F am i watching a romance drama without romance? might as well go watch olympic games for sports alone, i'd get better content out of it then watching this -.-

this is why i gave up watching Wuxia shows... pisses me off every time i watched one as no one can do a romance version properly...

What i'm saying here isn't a spoiler cuz i'm not describing this story (though technically it's a plot thing that pretty much every Wuxia type story has & i've yet to find one that doesn't), if they could somehow learn to not force some sort of sacrifice all the time from either ML or FL who ever is the one with powers & take that away or severely depower them so they could make them appear more "equal" & give them their end together, then wuxia type shows could perhaps be better, cuz you don't build the whole image & hype on one or both being amazing, powerful, etc... just to end up taking everything away & making them more common then the common man just for some delusional way of doing "happy ending" for them.

So yeah as much as i wanted to watch this show, veil of shadows, pursuit of jade & few others, i can no longer bring myself in doing so as shows like "Rules The World" & "Love Me Kill Me" for example among the many completely ruin it for me as they always destroy & utterly depower the one with actual power making them pathetically weak & worthless in that sense all the while from the beginning they always hype them up as either "The Mythical One, stronger, unbeatable, etc.." & then you get an ordinary peasant in the end after they get together with their counter-part lead just for some sake of "sacrifice for the one they love" when those are pointless in the way they're done in those scenarios & their loved ones should of ended up in the way they did if not via forced scriptwriting for sake of drama and like i said sacrifice for the one they love...

Where's the romance? where's the love? oh right, ain't none, just pure stupidity in writing & endless cringe... just like those freaking rom-coms where they force comedy every 2 seconds for the sake of having comedy while it just ends up being cringe shitshow you're force to fast forward or drop the show -.-

i just binged 18 episodes & i do like it, but at the same time i'm frustrated cuz typical overused & idiotic cliches are constantly ruining the whole thing "-"

- the mother is driving me up the fucking wall for one (ML's mother that is), also what the fuck?! she forced her own child to do her bidding under the condition that if he does she'll help save his friend who ended up in a hospital from a bike crash, WHO THE FUCK TREATS HUMAN LIFE like some freaking food you trade in return for a favor (i couldn't care less what her story is, the moment this was shown it's game over, she's a fucking psycho with control issues & 0 ACTUAL care for her son...)

- ML himself drives me nuts cuz of his mother & typical chinese bullshit of 0 backbone to standup against your freak ass slave driving controlling parents (even when she's going behind his back & bullshit FL with stupid crap & threats, he's a fucking doormat that does absolutely nothing, try this shit outside asia and you'll be lucky if you see your own child ever again... we don't tolerate abusive & controlling retards in the rest of the world no matter who they are to us...)

- side FL well... let's just say that dumbass would of been beaten up if this was a real life scenario... jesus fucking christ who comes up with this level of moronic characters -.''

- FL not much to dislike about her thankfully (actress playing the role is also amazing & that little laugh she does every now and then, absolutely freaking adorable), but she has that typical cliche for older women younger man relation setup where she's far more concerned about every dumbasses opinion around her rather then her own happiness & herself in general, so she's constantly on a infinite excuse train to feed her denial from accepting the truth & her own feelings... however like i said other then that typical cliche, she's quite fantastic & their chemistry (ML & FL) is quite lovely

So all in all it's not bad, but it's sometimes hard to watch without skipping parts... the only saving grace for me to keep watching is how ML & FL are together so far even though i feel like there's too much pointless dragging, the fact the mother isn't often on screen (i'd go on a homicidal spree otherwise thanks to that annoying cunt) & for once (so far in 18 episodes at least) no psycho obsessive stalker level or worse side ml, he's annoying but seems like so far at least he properly took no for an answer (unlike the dumbass side fl...)

there's no point in talking to a brick wall...

@Taino technically speaking, that's not a love triangle that's one being an obsessive creep &/or stalker, a love triangle would be more where a woman is being cringe level indecisive dumbass who can't choose between 2 nor/or have an actual backbone enough to decide her own feelings, ACCEPT THEM & not mind everyone elses opinions and go with the person she know is best for her, which is how you end up with a love triangle cuz FL doesn't know how to say "fuck off" to a creep & plays a pathetic meek monkey who just goes with every flow up her ass...

Pardon my language, but there's no "polite" way of saying that... it's literally the most kind of pathetic person be it male of female out there that do this.

So yeah unless there's this kind of BS then there's no love triangle & at worst like i said there would be a stalker/obsessive creep rather then love triangle.

I haven't watched the show so i can't comment which of the 2 applies to it, i'm simply commenting directly on your comment of "love triangle"

See i was hoping for happier reply... i'm just too tired to get into another so called "romance" asian show where i have to wait 90% of the entire show to get to the romantic part of ML/FL, while suffering all kinds of insanity prior for those 90%, cuz for some reason, god forbid we'd have an actual romantic relationship between ML/FL from around start of show till end... it's like i'm watching a damn superman before he was superman over & over with a new dress on... like jesus christ just give me the "superman" part & stop giving me his story before he was that...

Yeah i know that comparison was out there, but "story" wise it's actually spot on, cuz this romance types are literally that, it's all about before they actually become romantically involved & their romantic story, which is so overdone it's insane (though idk if this one has any love triangle or that nonsense that tends to absolutely ruin the whole thing, but yeah...)

no it's not, i hate indecisive FL who have to constantly drag on a love triangle or more through the entire drama cuz they're to freaking pathetic, you either like one or the other, if you like both decide who you like more & is right for you and go with it from start to finish, but constantly having excuses to push away the right one & keep going with the wrong one cuz "braindead reasons" aka no backbone to actually stand on her own & admit her own feeling & truth when it comes to romance, till it's too late then we need plot armor to make ML & FL end up together...

Like what the hell man, how's that "good" in any sense of the word no matter what we're specifically focusing on for the genre part...

Now okay to be fair i didnt finish watching "The Rational Life" cuz by episode 6-7 i nearly lost my mind, cuz everything was leading towards what i described above (watched another show called "Find Yourself" i believe was the title & it was pretty much 90% of what i said above from start to finish & when i saw same path unfolding with literal same signals from Rational Life i simply dropped it, i cannot for my own good health go through that insanity and pathetic display of whatever the F they deem as "romance" in shows like that...

Anyway no matter how it ends up later "The Rational Life" start is annoying as hell & even if it gets better later i doubt it's anytime soon & they'll keep dragging that crap on till that plot armor happy end needs to roll in for like last 2 or at most 3 episodes...
