The male lead is a great actor. The female lead is a disaster, can’t act at all . The script could have been…
ML is a decent actor, however in this show both of them were pretty terrible. On top of that their characters were so poorly scripted, I am afraid even if they were top acting stars, they wouldn't have been able to save the drama.
I haven't seen FL in other drama so I can't say, however I have seen ML in other drama and know he can act, however here it was like he flushed all his drama education down the toilet. Sometimes I even think, if both of them colluded and sabotaged the acting on purpose upon reading the script. 😂😂
Oh great. I wanted to watch a romance drama. I'm watching ep 3 now and just getting into it. Are you telling me…
It’s sort of a dark romance with the same plot frame as Love Like the Galaxy, but couple customs from Till the End of the Moon.
It doesn't mean there is no romance, romance is a very important main-plot, but don't expect fluffy sweet couple spending half of each episode circling each other. Expect more like a tiger-fox couple trying hard to avoid being killed by the other. 🤣🤣
Dylan mimicking his Dongfang qincang acting is weird...🤣 I cringe everytime his face was shown on the screen...…
well duh, that could be expected, every actor has his signature face expressions, I find it pretty funny, hearing a complaint an actor is trying hard to mimic other character, played by the same actor... it's like to say sun tries hard to mimic sunlight... 😂😂😂
if you have complaints about the drama, by all means, even if you wanna be a hater... feel free to do whatever fits your character... but hell, couldn’t haters these days be a bit more creative? 😂
This is about the Arab Muslim stuff. Respectfully skip if you do not want to read it. I have only realised now…
I like your attitude. Especially that you marked the comments as spoiler and explained what is will be about for those who don’t want to read. Thank you for that.
I do understand by now, Koreans do not really care about proper interpretation of other nations in their dramas and it honestly sucks. However, another thought came to my mind while reading your point of view. You perceive it as ignorant, when people do not try to understand you and don’t do their research – but would you do the same, if you stood on the opposite side?
My religion is Protestant Christian and I rarely even admit to that in public, because Christianity gets so ridiculed and belittled in so many places, dramas, articles, that I can’t even count them. Not even mentioning, when you say „Christian“, everybody (at least in my surroundings) immediately imagines a Catholic Church, Crusades and I also hear a lot „You are a Christian? Such an intelligent person as yourself? How did you end like this?“. Maybe its different for other countries, but my country is 80% atheistic, so Christians get ridiculed a lot, especially if you don’t belong to Catholic church and are perceived as one nevertheless. Now imagine some of your Arab televisions made an entertaining drama portraying Christianity only as Catholic church, saying all Christians look up to the Pope as much as to their God and Protestants would stand up in mass and started fierily defending their cause, that they were totally excluded from the whole Christianity picture, and demanded an apology. Would you dive deep into internet researching what is Christianity about, would you try to understand why exactly are they angry, or would you just shrug and think “Well, they for sure are right to defend themselves, but this matter does not concern me”? And now imagine these people would flood your favourite website and made it impossible to use normally due to their anger – would you start researching why could they possibly be this angry, or would you get angry yourself? Even if you personally did the research, I bet 98% of other people wouldn’t, that’s just how it is, unless you explain yourself why are you angry, others will not do the research and will only react to how you behave among them without the context and it has nothing to do with ignorance. And what if those Christians started to threaten to kill Arabs who travelled in Europe – would you just say “oh, those guys are really angry, what could they possibly be going through”? There is a certain breaking point, where you stop sympathize and start distance yourself from the problem.
To disclose this, when the first wave of anger arouse, my thought was, that those screenwriters really could have scripted that person just as a random famous oil magnate or something – it would do the job for the script and wouldn’t offend Arabs in such a way – am I right? My second thought was, many Arabs overreacted a lot by attacking wrong people and escalated the conflict to heights no longer tolerable even by us initial supporters of your cause. So I do get your point of view and am thankful you took the time to explain it, but its also fair to say there is some portion of the blame on both sides by now and its only natural people from outside do not even try to understand you by now.
Last thing I want to say, I do have actually really good image about Islam and some drama figure can’t really tarnish that image, nor will I let this uproar tarnish it, since its not fair to judge whole religion on one incident. I do not know about Islam that much, but I heard about Pashtunwali and admire it, also heard people who actually visited Muslim countries to talk about Muslims there only in a good way.
They should. And they should also delete the ratings for unaired episodes. It’s not fair at all.
Well, there is no "completed" rating option on my side viewing the site, its greyed out as it should be. As for individual ratings for each episode, that's not really such a big deal, you make it sound like this page is hugely malfunctioning.
As I said, if you discovered it as an issue, fill the proper request instead of complaining the site is badly coded lol, how are they supposed to become aware of an issue, if you don't report it.
That's what I'm looking forward to the most. That and the sister getting the hotel taken away from her by Gu Won.…
I mean, I really hope Gu Won wins, but at the same time if you think of it, while he was enjoying his lord-like life in England doing god knows what (probably studying and hard-working himself), she worked hard for the hotel and the company and now he just returns out of nothing to snatch it from her. I would probably be really grumpy as well being at her place. 😄😄
They should. And they should also delete the ratings for unaired episodes. It’s not fair at all.
Try code it yourself before judging how others do their codes. I am coding myself, not websites, but one of first lessons learned was how a simple change may actually be really hard to implement. Also, this page as far as I know was coded by few (two?) people for fun, with so many requests on changes and new features, I can't imagine where they get any time to improve this site and they already did a great job, seeing how their site prospers.
You may however add a request somewhere for the new feature or improvement to be added, don't know the link, but saw people voting there if they want that change to be made.
really? from my perspective we're just getting into the good stuff! Their relationship is gonna start, Won's gonna…
That's the problem, many dramas as far as my poor knowledge reaches, the moment they start dating usually becomes a breaking point and the drama gets boring from there. Screenwriters then try to keep the tension by weird plots like cheating, breaking up, being forced to break up "for sake of the other", exaggerated jealousy and its already so cliche.
Do you have any recommendations for dramas being able to elaborate on relationships better? I remember liking how Fight For My Way or She Is the One dealt with the relationship part, don't remember anymore if they were slow burn or not.
Binged 1-6 but 7 and 8 seems to be running out of steam.
Same here. There were some nonsense much earlier, but I was able to just turn a blind eye, since I really enjoyed the actors and the chemistry. With ep.7 nad 8, the drama totally lost its charm to me and there were only few scenes I liked without finding it cringe. I am looking forward to ep. 9 and 10 thou, pretty interested on how will the evil bigsis react to the challenge.
Same. Never noticed him that much till King the Land. Now... a fave!
I first saw him in Good Manager. Lol, this guy led me to being Kpop fan through 2PM, haven't figure out if I should thank him or curse him for that yet... 😂😂
Good to know. Now I'm boycotting everything that comes out of the Middle East (just cancelled my Etihad flight…
You guys keep repeating, that as long as you get some respect, you will give respect too... I mean, sure, action and reaction. You ran in mass on people and places, that has no responsibility over disrespect you received, you attacked them and disrespected them and now as I have heard, you are even tarnishing reputation of places, that never disrespected you in any way, just rented their place for filming.
Most of us had no idea what happened until we got attacked, most of us stood on your side guys, siding with you, that you have every right to be angry and we supported you as a proud nation that defends their culture after being offended by Korean industry multiple times, yet we were attacked nevertheless. Now, that we are finally sick of you disrespecting us and started disrespecting you back, you come here claiming, if only we had respected you, you would do the same. What for should I exactly respect you? What have you done right towards us ever since the conflict began? You spammed this and many more sites and those who made the mess never apologized to us, yet you feel every right to receive the apology from others. I don't get this, I really tried, but I can't understand this. This is not pride, this is conceit.
(hereby I apologize to you guys sharing Arab roots or religion, who never attacked us and despite being angry yourself, you never took out your anger on us, you guys have my respect and I wish you well)
Blah blah blah. Go cry somewhere or to someone who cares. We don’t give a crap here if your feelings are hurt!
yes, got my answer the same time I asked in other comment, thanks. It makes sense since its a saying known to local folks, those are really not translatable.
Blah blah blah. Go cry somewhere or to someone who cares. We don’t give a crap here if your feelings are hurt!
oh, thas what it meant... definetly the translation engine mistake... 😂😂😂 I am really wondering now, how arabic language actually works, since the translator was able to translate it so badly - or is it more like a saying and you just described it with other words to explain the meaning?
I haven't seen FL in other drama so I can't say, however I have seen ML in other drama and know he can act, however here it was like he flushed all his drama education down the toilet. Sometimes I even think, if both of them colluded and sabotaged the acting on purpose upon reading the script. 😂😂
