You can go ahead and have your instant coffee everyday and I'll have my freshly brewed artisanal coffee once in a while. What, because I said I'm not feeling this very much and spoke for myself its somehow a problem??. I spoke for myself and my tastes. If you like it, go and make your own thread. I did not come to yours did I smh

Of course tragedy is a part of life....but one's life is not necessarily one tragic event after another as these types of art try to portray. Packaging all life's tragic events into one drama does not quite depict real life does it?
What makes it odd here is that the sadness here isn't very proportional to the so called 'problems' that these characters supposedly have. At least in My Mister you could appreciate the FL's struggles and motivations though the ML's were not fully explored. Overall I'm not really 'anti-sad' but I dislike sad for the sake of sadness and esp when I want to be 'entertained'.
If you can satisfactorily justify why it has to be sad, then I'll give it a chance.

I'm not even sure whether to root for Gu and Mi joeng....their relationship is just too weird and not normal.

So yeah, whilst I understand that this is a 'slice of life' drama, its just too 'gloomy/miserable/weird' that I'm sort of hate-watching at this point since I'm such a fan of Kim Ji Won. I watch dramas to be 'entertained' or learn some 'life lessons'; leaves me wondering where this one fits in really. Perhaps I'm just not a fan of this writer because I didn't enjoy My Mister very much.
I believe art doesn't need to be sad to be profound. I will probably finish watching it but I definitely will not re-watch 😢💔

People who think hating this drama somehow makes them cool are the absolute worst. If you hate this one it just makes me wonder what the hell you're looking for in kdrama land tbh 🤔. Thank god the drama was so successful that it doesn't really need your asinine opinions imao. Chill ya'll 😎

OMG I couldn't agree more with your rant. I also made a little rant when I watched it while it was on air! Like you, I wonder if the drama's 2nd half was written by a different person.. I just felt a lot of things did not make sense. I was really looking forward to seeing what they would make of that explosive initial chemistry but alas, it became an 'anti-love' saga. It got me so pissed I ended up not watching ep. 17 'just because'.

When people judge such an amazingly produced show simply based on an ending (which was perfectly logical by the way!) but just because they didn't like it.........break my heart💔!!!!! It just seems so simplistic given the quality of the show overall and not to mention the lol moments sprinkled throughout the series. I mean, how would we ever get another season if Yumi and Woong had their happily ever after??? Cant wait for Jinyoung in Season 2 🥰

I am a mature viewer but this was too boring for me. I agree with those saying the ML was too wooden. Drama needed better romantic scenes to liven it up a little

Oh its been a while since I watched it so I cant remember that detail, sorry.

This was a terrific watch. I love historical political dramas and this one is up there with some of the best! I dont really mind the sad ending. My only gripe is the promise of a romance arc which was barely explored. Why are ppl scared of romance 🤷‍♀️??? ...otherwise it would have been a 10 from me!

Your problem is with trying to apply logic where its not needed and failing to apply it where its actually needed. Also, writing too much does not equate to making sense. Its amazing how you managed to watch an entire drama of what you call endless nonsense. Based on what you said, if it were me I wouldn't have gone past 5th episode. You keep telling me that I dont understand when I have tried to give the best explanation to situations you keep saying were 'not logical' If you understood the time paradox then you wouldn't try to rewrite Kim EunSuk's story. If you were a level headed person you would accept it as 'difference of opinion' rather than 'plot holes or sweeping under the rug'. I actually cant be bothered at this point whether you understand me or not and probably wont have time to read through your paragraphs in the future 👋

I should also mention that when Lee Gon travelled back into time and there were things you expected to happen but didnt...well, its called time paradox for a reason. I'm sure you know its a concept that is associated with time travel and Kim Eun suk is not exempt from it either. Even if you write a drama yourself you'll still be bound by it.

I just think this drama was not your cup of tea tbh. You try too much to reason out what is essentially a fantasy world created by this writer and then you end up wanting to rewrite the story to suit yourself. I also wasn't a big fun of the ending but that doesn't nullify the effort that was put in the first 90% of the drama. Also, you sound very insulting by insinuating that those who liked the drama were not paying attention to the drama....like wtf??? You're the one who did not understand some of the simplest and most straightforward scenes🤔. Perhaps just write your own script and we'll see how accommodating of all audiences you are. Btw, I am not a fan of Back to the future, just not my cup of tea! But I agree to disagree and acknowledge that some people will like it even if I dont. You need to practice that sometime.

What exactly was the problem here? This is crossing into a parallel universe made possible by being in possession of the manpasikjoek....something that cant be explained by physical laws wecan understand at present...I mean, it is a fantasy after all. They later on showed this space between the 2 worlds that Lee Gon dubbed the 'space between 0 and 1'. Point being he didn't understand it as well and hence something for you the audience to fill in with whatever reasoning you imagine that to be. It was basically happening by 'magic' pretty much so there was in reality not much logic to it.

Also, the going back and forth between scenes was actually refreshing. It would only take a minute to realise that, oh this is meant to be a previous scene...it actually made it even more exciting! I absolutely loved the brain workout, not a lot of dramas do that. I enjoy being an active watcher! On another note, have you watched Lee je hoon and Shin Min Ah's Tomorrow with you?? If so, did you enjoy it?

I never said anything about 'attack ing fans' but about attacking the writer. You said her script had mistakes and the scenes you mentioned I'm actually wondering why that was confusing. Lee Gon had clearly told Tae Eul that he was taking her to his world...when they left her world it was snowing and when they arrived to his world it wasnt snowing anymore. Such an abrupt change in weather could only imply that this was certainly another dimension. Showing us how they got there at that point was kind of unnecessary. The writer wasn't ready to show us 'how' they got there at the time but it was certainly obvious because of those subtle hints. I'm pretty sure the rest of your analysis has to do with subtle hints that would be 'obvious' to other people. Hence why I'll reiterate my point....you jist didn't understand the story. And its not a crime you know. Just dont bash her script when most of us understood it. If she had gone about stating the obvious then the drama would not have generated a lot of intrigue to those of us who were enjoying it. You'll have to mention another scene perhaps because doesn't make the cut. To me, it was actually one of the best defining moments of the drama imao

Aren't you proving my point then thats its probably not the kind of plot some people understand 🤷. What you call 'uselessly confusing', I call it 'intricately weaving a mystery plot' and waiting patiently to see how the writer unfolds it and ties it all up in the end! Dont attack the writer because some of us understood exactly what she was doing. Whether it was her first time or not was actually irrelevant here. Was it done 100%, maybe not...but I would rather watch this than some dramas full of relationship misunderstandings and pointless plots. FYI, TKEM did very well on Netflix due to international viewers made $135 million+ ✌️

Havent gotten over Chang wook's 'gwenchana!!!gwenchana!!' 🤣🤣🤣🤣. One of the best korean web dramas on netflix. Mature storyline without weird love rectangles! Refreshing drama concept! If you're looking for something newish in kdrama in the romance and relationships genre then you have to watch this! Has some of the best OSTs esp Kiss me kiss me by Isaac Hong

People who call this a mess just didnt understand it or at least its not your type of genre . You might want to feel offended but we all cant enjoy the same things....we're all wired differently! But to call this a mess???? Nah, you'd have to do better than that. Most people who say its a mess seem not to have gone past episode 2! And no, did not know who Lee Min Ho was prior to watching it and that was the case for many international viewers who probably just stumbled upon it on Netflix.

This drama has actually the best romance of all historical sagueks I've seen. It seems most people dont recognise love driven by sincere intentions coupled with the innocence of youth, the kind that transcends physical intimacy (still glad there were plenty of make out scenes 💋💋💋). The lead characters actually had great chemistry and made their connection very believable. They bonded over mutual interests that would make their love last a lifetime....literally 'drawing love' how poetic 💗. This is how to FALL in love and STAY in love people!
The palace politics was an added bonus...all my favourite genres rolled into one 👌. Could it have been done in fewer episodes??? Yes! Was it a disaster?? No way! This was a well written drama by people who have actually experienced love and know what a 'romance' story is all about. Have been disappointed too many times by shows that claim to have romance because there is like 1 kissing scene in ep. 16 smh
