Another thing that I realized bc of Our Universe and Sirene's Kiss is that I have no desire to watch overly thin actors and visible plastic surgery. Perhaps their management companies ask them to lose weight and "get pretty" but I would like that to stop.
I am posting this comment here with the sole intent that we the audience ask to stop the cruelty to the actors. It is unhealthy and makes me sad and creeped out to see a starving thin actor and/or facial muscles so stiff and unable to express.
By watching someone like that, I feel I am supporting more of that, and I consider it cruelty to the actors.
I am sure we can make kdramas without torturing actors
Unlike recent Kdramas, this drama returns to the style of old classics that focusing on compelling storyline and…
One issue is plastic surgery and botox, so ppl cannot move their facial muscles,i.e. cannot act; also hiring pretty models - who cannot act; and just producing as many dramas as possible cookie cutter, so just hire ANYONE who looks pretty and who cares for acting
if jeon woo really ends up as endgame with hong, then its so over. i dont think anyone even likes him, i just…
Well she loved that man until he became a bad guy.. Now she gave him a job so he has no reason to be a criminal anymore... and they still love each other... but maybe.. . they will archive it.. Nora likes him and will gladly take him
I haven't caught up to the latest episode, but from reading the comments there doesn't seem to be any romance,…
Hey, the drama is soaked in romance... FL and ALbert even went on dates... Shin andNora too... Then we have crushes, and lingering ML-FL feelings from 5 yrs of dating..
It's never boring, imo. Great actings, good cinematography, many funny moments and no romance so far (but there…
I agree with everything except "no romance" - the drama is soaked in romance... FL and ALbert even went on dates... Shin andNora too... Then we have crushes, and lingering ML-FL feelings from 5 yrs of dating..
it’s very rare for me to watch a kdrama where I never find it dragging, especially halfway through. 13 episodes…
I agree with everything except "no romance" - the drama is soaked in romance... FL and ALbert even went on dates... Shin andNora too... Then we have crushes, and lingering ML-FL feelings from 5 yrs of dating..
there is very minimal to no romance so far. the main themes of this drama are sisterhood/friendship, business,…
The only connection is IMF crisis, the dramas are totally different, this one is a lot higher quality and a lot more fun, and has a tight fun script, never drags and the story is a lot more meaningful and complex
But what exactly about it would you like more of? I can rattle off a bunch of good dramas but what are you looking for? At least, thre is top 100 dramas list on MDL
@vanilleur ML and FL are exes who still have feelings and work in the same place and go against each other, FL…
Why not? We fall in love with people and we have no control over who we fall in love with, but we have control what we do with our feelings. She DATED that guy for like what ... 5 years? 9 years? I forgot. SHE LOVED HIM and he suddenly betrayed her. She has lingering feelings. One is love, and one is pain and anger :)
What is wrong with her lingering feelings from the past? She loved him yet was strong enough to say NO to him, to express her disappointment by his betrayal and unethical character, and her unwillingness to tolerate that and be with him. She is a strong woman. She rejected a man she loved bc he was inadequate.
She dumped him and is not going back, despite her love for him. She realized she fell in love with a rat and she bailed out. I THINK THAT IS COMMENDABLE AND MAKES HER A VERY STRONG CHARACTER.
TO drop the drama bc of that would be very ... unfair and disrespectful and unrealistic. People love who they love and she loved that man very deeply. She canNOT forget him overnight.
We are now waiting for Mr Right to come along and totally delete the memory of the ex :)
Agreed. Especially, the romance feels too rushed in 12 episode dramas, they end up liking each other too soon…
yeah those school violence and fighting dramas need just a few episodes bc they really do not have too much plot, and seeing mostly fights for 16 episodes would be really boring :) I didnt see Unwritten Seoul. I dropped, it was too boring to me.
I think My Dearest Nemesis was good for 12 ep, Potato Lab, etc such SIMPLE dramas about ML, FL and just a couple of side characters and a simple plot and a simple idea to work out - he needs to get accepted for his anime and rock, she needs to accept being fired by the boss she crushes on and he needs to accept people as human beings... SIMPLE SUPER SIMPLE PLOT AND CHARACTERS... the less episodes, the fluffier and simpler the plot is... Made in Korea was like that - ok we see Korean CIA making meth and 8 episodes of that is enough
Undercover Miss Hong is working through ML-FL relationship and past, FL-SML entanglement, the roommates, Nora, Bok Hee, Kang Family, Song and her henchman, IMF issues, corporate politics, women at work, , ... there are so many characters and SO MANY STORIES and progression from A to Z, so many messages to convey ... and 16 eps is perfect
I think this drama can have many seasons :) as we follow Miss Hong in her career, solving one case after another...

I searched for "what kdrama production teams read for feedback" and got this AI result - for whatever it is worth... Apparently reddit is very popular - I checked reddit, it has more "academic and professional" discussions and MDL has "casual" and "fun" comments - but honestly, MDL comments capture the essence of the feedback. THey are like tweets and memes and they totally capture what is going on, how the audience FEELS and engages. Reddit is more .. dry and technical and mental, to be honest - but perhaps more perceptive? I will check them out. However, getting feedback from most ignorant users is also useful :) some dramas are made for ignorant audience. Why not :) they have money to spend too :)
I checked reddit and it is quite useless bc it is whitewashed, censored. MDL comments are a lot more fun and more indicative how the audience really feels and really thinks about the drama. I have never read reddit before and now I know why LOL

Demographic Focus: The platform is predominantly inhabited by college students or unemployed males in their 20s and 30s.
Reputation: It is often described as the "4chan of South Korea" due to its anonymity, lack of moderation, and often chaotic or edgy content.

Diversity: While largely male-dominated, the site is vast, with thousands of different galleries (sub-communities), some of which can be female-dominated.
Although it originated as a site for digital cameras, it has evolved into one of the most popular and influential, yet controversial, online platforms in Korea.
