OK that is a great solution and very easy to implement. So user can write reviews for the drama for any number of episodes, but they can assign a star rating only after the drama ends.

THAT IS EASY FIX -
the part of the existing code that has the stars will be inside IF THEN ELSE statement:

IF current date is before drama end date
THEN display to the user "you can give star rating after the drama ends"
ELSE display the star rating menu

and then copy in the piece of code for how many eps, and the text box for review

EASY PEASY TO FIX and mdl should really do this, it is a great solution, it leaves the opportunity to create a hype and talk about the drama, and prevents trolls

And definitely do not allow rating individual episodes before they air.

It cannot be open source since it has user accounts and ppl pay money and give gifts...

But thy could easily fix their code. They MUST NOT allow rating individual episodes before they air. That is the minimum they could do. IT WOULD BE EASY since the date of the drama is already a part of individual episode display, so they just need to put their existing sotware for individual episode rating into an IF statement :
IF currentdate < episode airing date
THEN throw an error message, tell user the episode didnt air yet, and come back later, and exit
ELSE ___insert original code here ____

It would be nice if we could see usernames of those who rate

FL's best friend, ML's ex girl, chaebol Choi Hui Su (I think that is how her name was spelled)

My comments do not make sense to YOU :) so speak for yourself and do not try to prevent me from communicating with others....
What you are doing is called CENSORING :) and YOU ARE THE CENSOR :)
But - I am not writing for you :) I am writing for someone who has a mind open enough to get what I am saying ;)
And - nothing prevents me from saying i dislike acting of that actress and also her plastic surgery and pale face look. Everyone can say what they have to say. YOU are saying great things about thi actress and terrible things about me, and you feel 100% entitled to speak your mind LMAO and then you preach to me how I am not allowed to speak up LMAO.

So live with it :) Grow up and accept that you have no power to censor others

Yes - but MDL wont do that bc they like the hype of reviews, no matter how early

The realistic solution is that INDIVIDUAL EPISODES should be rate-able only after they air

I was tongue and cheek trying to console the whining fans, who called him pathetic and said they rather see him as a psycho
- so sure. let them see him as a psycho and be happy!!!!

Psychos are aggressive, cold towards others and even if they look depressed, they will seek enjoyment by torturing others. They NEVER go "pathetic" for real.

This dude is a ... masochist :) Now seriously - HE IS AN ENABLER. He is a very unhappy person trying to live for his very TOXIC UNCARING family, and he is very self destructive,
i dont think he is emphathetic. He is loving and loyal and a blindly obedient team player, trying to earn approval.
If he were truly emphatetic, he would be that for himself too.
HE IS AN ENABLER. He threw himself under the bus to "earn' the love of those who he WANTS to love him, but they cannot - bc they are selfish pshycho idiots

He needs to stop being a little boy and stand up for himself as he were his own father.
that alcoholic moron, and that cruel father who set him up with that for life, all gotta go. ASAP

Ep 8 I love that Executive Adjuma! I was not her fan for giving a privileged treatment to her hubby to cater to his weakness - which led to his major flops outside of that protective bubble - but many things she said/did so far were totally cool, and ep 8 is swell :) Fighting, Dog Man! :)
Dog Man is really cute but it is time to ALSO grow up :) he can be a cute grown up too :)
PUSH HIM INTO THE DEEP WATER AND MAKE HIM SINK OR SWIM!!!!

kdramas can be produced locally and then shown on Netflix . There is also a del with I think ... Sinclair TV in the usa to show kdramas on ther channels.
The big issue really is - who is the drama for. Too many are getting totally adjusted to fit western tastes. Starting from tons of white powder on actors' faces and plastic surgery to produce big round eyes instead of slanted eyes.
So read the drama description for who the original company is. This drama is by jTBC

On youtube, AsianBoss has a video HOW NETFLIX KILLED KDRAMAS and he forgot to mention Disney. Since they stepped in, everything is Season 2 or 3... and the creativity is gone... and the HEALING NATURE of kdramas, which are rare pieces of art that have character growth, self reflection, and cooperation between ordinary ppl to solve their problems and move on. Kdramas are absolutely the gems in true storytelling, they have compassion, warmth, a sense of lightness and compassionate humor while discussing the heavy topics, and always, there is that feel THERE IS THE END AT THE LIGHT OF THE TUNNEL AND WE ARE GOING THERE. STEP BY STEP.

This i s possible bc S Kroeans overcame slavery, colonization, etc and still to this day throw away bad gvmnts - and nobody else really does that.
Cdramas have NO humor nor character growth bc by definition you cannot humor anything nor are you ALLOWED to grow in a dictatorship.

So kdramas are realy the only true entertainment globally, and of course there are forces trying to kill it. Hwood plots are never about the light at the end of the tunnel, they are always about being lost in the tunnel. I will let you think further why this is so.

Anyways, Hwood tastes are taking over kdramas bc ppl want to appease the West and grab the $$$$$ but in that, S Koreans will be devoured and lose their culture, their values, AND money :) they will become a colonized place, a franchise owned by someone else from the outside. So... every Hwood trained user who wants to see all episodes all at once - and thus kill audience engagement and advertising opportunities and thus kdrama money; who wants to see questionable characters staying same or getting worse, who wants to see greedy ppl taking over everything, etc etc lots of skinship, ACTION, violence, bloody revenges, super skinny perfect-face plastic surgery actors. etc... well .... That's all killing real kdramas.
China's goal is to become #1 in AI globally, so ... their short film industry will be replaced by AI, all the plasticized actors will be replaced by AI, ....
so what is left is real, live, good actors acting in meaningful stories. IF there are enough ppl with brains at that point.

SO THINK CAREFULLY. And watch that Asian Boss video on youtube

*******episodes 7 -12 of this drama have been rated super low by a group of 17 people.*******
We are on ep 8 so there is NO WAY that anyone could have rated eps 9-12, those episodes did not air yet. The same happened in We are All Trying Here and other kdramas. Someone is targeting kdramas and trying to kill them.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO ALERT MDL TO IMPROVE THEIR SOFTWARE - just dont allow rating episodes which did not air yet. it is tricky bc of holidays, bball games, etc esp dailiies suffer from changing schedule, but 8-16 episodes dramas usually stay on schedule. So MDL should fix this loophole in their sofware.

there are organized gangs of trolls, fake empty accounts, that just downrate all kdramas -
AND THE TROLLS LOW-RATE EPISODES WHICH DID NOT AIR

WE GOTTA STOP THIS. If you see a fake account that is rating low maliciously, expose them in the Comments. How will you know they are a fake user? No reviews, maybe not even comments, no dramas watched, reviewed, etc ALSO, WE NEED TO RATE HIGH INDIVIDUAL EPISODES

I wouldnt bother. Le;s call 100 Memories "the trial run" :) He was poker face Jae Pil there, so bland and boring script. Here, he ACTS so well, this role is great for him. Watch THIS drama carefully, he really nailed it.

oh got it. So we dont know what Yeonwi Chamber is for - exiles? 'hospital stay"? getting away on a hunting trip? Just getting away.. ? someone's old house... ? a place to take secret lovers to... / I am sure we will find out.
Thanks!

Wow ep 5 and ep 6 are the best so far, the plot is deeper and very meaningful and realistic psychological drama/ office drama, and the acting is superb.
ML is such a great green flag.
FL is ... well... his boss, ex of the CEO , and a traumatized child - so she is a tough nut to crack... but ... we all think - she will open her horizons :) she is already starting.
This was a rowdy majkang rom-com in earlier episodes, now it is .. a very deep love / family / work story.

Ok how about this - he is not pathetic. He is a psycho in disguise - doing everything for the sake of his father is a very passive-agressive psycho !!! - so when do you think his obedient self will just EXPLODE?

SFL is a little too slimey... not trustworthy.... not direct and honest... too moody, unpredictable, wishy-washy, too unknown, too many problems in her life.... so she is not as interesting as FL, who is direct and honest and fair and strong.... Also, the secretary is his employee and too risky - " CEO's affair with the secretary" anyone...?

I really like this FL who is active, capable, common sense, independent - not some meek weak stupid naive dumb wall flower damsel in distress but someone who actively survived poisoning, murder, assassinations, slavery, etc. and then 21st century cars, money, etc - got the boarding house all squared away, found herself a job, etc... She always makes the best possible of the circumstances she finds herself in.
And the cherry on the top - so far we never saw her acting as a villain...
What has she done to create that gossip ... ?
ML clearly deserves the gossip. He is an arrogant jerk and a mean Robin Hood.

No, he was ML in 100 Memories kdrama 2025

I saw him as ML in kdrama 100 Memories. He was the polite poker face slimey Jae Pil .... dont get me started on that... Read some reviews or comments... Good luck. Jae Pil was essentially stringing two women, one for fun and one to act as his personal assistant, so to me My Royal Nemesis confirms what Jae Pil really is is under his polite mask - an arrogant snotty entitled jerk - which I knew he was and it was frustrating 100 Memories never scratched the surface of his character- and so I finallu saw the real Jae Pil and finally i feel like i completed 100 Memories drama :)
I also saw him in a decent small role as a kind doctor in masterpiece kdrama Dream Life of Mr. Kim.

How do you know ML was in exile house? Eng subs said he was in yeonghwi chamber - is that exile house?
I rewatched ep 2 scene with maids. FL was sold as a slave, jumped into river and ran away, and Court lady Kim got her into Yeonghwi as ... a servant.. ? a higher level slave... ??? .... what was she? I am sure I am supposed to know based on her "uniform" but i do not :)

yeah good point, she did NOT recognize the currentML as someone she saw in Joseon.... why?? ... ? clearly she remembered that he saved her from that box. Was the mask that bad, or ... what? Or she already recognized him and is taking him for granted? but I dont think so

Ok so you never went hungry, never have done any physical labor and/or heavy exercise, never have been outdoors for a long time esp in cold weather.
So your cholte! comes from someone afluent who sits indoors all day.

It's ok but understand that other ppl have different realities :)

Also, if you are ah so sensitive, then you could catch the drift and realize that Dog Man is literally starving, and despite all his misfortunes, he never failed to NOURISH HIMSELF, pun intended, and he kept his body and spirit strong, and he kept his good health and he is in great shape, dancing as he walks, running a lot.

You dont seem to relate to any of that nor did you notice that DM is doing something that you are not used to.

Try dancing and skipping and running fast like DM does, use public transport, and spend a day hauling catering "boxes" inside and outside, closing heavy truck doors, driving a catering truck, and walking around serving,

and then let's talk about your CHOLTE :) It will be gone by then :)

Bon appetit ;)
