Death's Game [parts 1+2] was also a masterpiece. So spiritually mature; the ending is sublime.
I watched Death's Game, too. And I agree. At first, when I saw the trailer, I thought it was top violent, but while watching it I realize it wasn't as violent as the trailer made it look. Also, the Message of the drama were amazing
While everyone is losing interest in Korean dramas, I am losing interest in Chinese dramas...
Honestly I never had Interest in chinese dramas... I tried to watch them, but there's something about their acting that doesn't hit me in the feels. Also, they are veeery long. I think 16 episodes of kdramas, are a lot, but chinese ones have 40 or 50... that's too much for me. But that's ok. Everyone has the right to like or dislike something. The fact that some people don't like to watch kdramas doesn't make them ugly, and the fact that some don't like cdramas (or jdramas) doesn't make them less worthy. I just can't stand when some people feel the need to attack you just because you don't like something they like. 🙄
Sorry for the long message, ahah. The things I wrote are just my PERSONAL opinion. So, if I "offended" your fav kdramas in any way, it was just what I thought while watching them. Just because I didn't find QoT and Lovely Runner the best kdramas of 2024, it doesn't mean they are not good. They can be good for someone and bad for someone else.

Especially in Netflix originals.
There are very few original products that I enjoyed (like Daily Dose of Sunshine and A Time Called You). I read the plots and wasn't even interested in most of them, and the ones I would give a chance, I had to drop them (I dropped Mask Girl after 2 episodes and Worst of Evil after 5. Too much violence).
I also think that producers are more interested in having good looking actors more than having a good plot, and that's something I hate. I watch a drama for the story, first. Then, if there are cute or very famous actors, it's a plus. But even if the cast is full of rookies that I have never seen before, it's ok anyway. I value more the story and what it can leave inside my heart, the life lessons I can keep with me for the rest of my life. That's because I love slice of life stories so much, which is my #1 fav genre. I also really enjoy historical and thriller. Korean thrillers are so good (I recently finished Beyond Evil and I'm still obsessed). There's something about them that western products will never have.
I also don't dislike webtoons getting adapted. There are some stories that are soooo good and deserve to get a kdrama. But producers keep making the same stories, all over again, and it's becoming tiring. Like romcoms, who are basically the copy of the previous ones. For example, I couldn't continue with King the Land. Too many cliché and the story is the same of many other dramas, so it was nothing new. But there was Lee Jun Ho, so people would watch it. Same with Queen of Tears and Lovely Runner. I keep seeing people praising them as masterpieces, but I didn't really enjoyed them. Queen of tears had a beautiful cinematography and amazing OSTs, and the actors were really good. But that's it. Same for Lovely Runner. A lot of cliché and things that didn't really have sense (like the man who wanted to kill her, because...? He had literally no good reason). Good OSTs, good acting, but there are a lot of kdramas that are better than those two. Dramas that are criminally underrated, maybe because they don't have top notch actors.
I will never stop watching kdramas, I love them too much and I have a lot of old dramas to catch up with. But the more I watch them, the more I'm becoming very picky, especially with on airs.
