OMG YOU ARE RIGHT!!!! OPPA_ REVIEW ON SOLD OUT ON YOU IS JUST TOO SIMILAR TO MINE and honestly looks copied!!!!!!!! but Oppa_ used AI and wrote it "better" and got more ppl to read it and like it.

"damsel in distress" is a common concept in rom coms lol but the other stuff with it, really looks like my review was copied.... !!!!! Oppa_ writes good reviews on their own and does NOT need to copy my reviews, so I wonder WHY that user copied my review... ????

The reviews DO have time stamps and it is clear Oppa_ wrote his review after I did. But since he has 2 likes and I have 1, his review is above mine so my review has a less chance to be read.

Wooow!!!!! It almost seems like Oppa_ is having a competition to have more reads on his reveiws than me.

I wonder - does Oppa make a living by writing reviews? On MDL you can send money to posters... right?

OR - is Oppa_ intention to "silence me" by having his review ranked higher and posted on the top, so ppl will not even read my review below?

In any case - if my review is copied and rewritten in a better way, that is actually success for me, the ideas go out further :)

I have no idea who Oppa_ is -

so IF YOU CAN SHED MORE LIGHT ON THIS SUBJECT - please do so.

I think there are lots of trolls from China here for various reasons - including bringing down kdramas, promoting their dramas, spreading spyware, etc

I find my computer infested with certain stuff that makes it clear it is used in some massive online store or for gaming or for who knows what!!! i keep deleting it

So is Oppa_ a part of that? or is just an individual user?

this sounds like a great beginning for a new drama script :)

BUT PLMK IF YOU LEARN ANYTHING ABOUT OPPA_ AND WHY HE/SHE IS COPYING MY REVIEW(s) or at least parts they agree with

In any case, Oppa_ has some deep great reviews - and I only saw posts rom Oppa_ in Honour and Oppa_ brought some excellent points about the drama -

and I will keep recommending reading good Oppa_ reviews - or any great reviews, for hat matter

but YES OPPA_ ESSENTIALLY COPIED MY REVIEW ON SOLD OUT ON YOU

I cannot update my review to say it was copied, bc then I will lose proof that my review was posted before his? I will doublecheck that now, I will edit and save this review to see what date it will carry then. Well I added a few bogus sentences to my review of My Golden Days and saved it, and the review still shows the original posting date of the review Dec 29 2025 even when I go away from the page. I will wait a little to see if it gets updated later. But I might add those few sentences into my review on Sold Out :)

THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW ABOUT COPYING MY REVIEW lmao what a concept!!!!! and also Oppa_ does not need to copy me!!!! his reviews are good on his own so this whole thing is weird, so PLMK IF YOU LEARN ABOUT OPPA_
Thanks!

I appreciate it, to me what you wrote is golden, bc it is like a mini crash course. In this sea of watchers of fluffy, it is refreshing to find someone who has a deeper perspective. On that note, there is user Oppa_ with some really observant things to say in reviews etc. No it is not me :) but I think that user might be stalking my reviews now..

I watched My First Life and I have other issues with it - the message of it is very ... westernized yuppie - at the end they essentially ditch their families and culture and continue to live isolated in their own comfort, for the sake of their own comfort SOLELY.

I didnt watch that other drama so I will.

SO I DIDNT CATCH WHAT YOU WERE TRYING TO SAY :) so you think Mad is an example of emergent rom com and My First Life is a pure rom com?

Feel free to write long stuff :)

Ah, one more thought. I think MDL must be getting money by clicks, and/or even spreads spyware. But what I appreciate is that this is uncensored and you get to see what ppl REALLY feel about dramas. Reddit is sooo whitewashed that it is almost useless as feedback. But I was told by some users that drama production teams do not read MDL bc it is too informal.
So I wonder what social platforms drama production teams read to check on the audience.

Something is weird with that user Oppa_ I will call Oppa_ "he" although I dont know for sure
I found one of his reviews on some drama - I forgot what it was ... ? but it was an excellent review - Oppa_ goes deep and I learn from his reviews, and we wrote back and forth

Then Oppa_ posted in Honour and he really blasted it down with excellent comments - he TOTALLY exposed that drama for what it is!!!!! and also it was clear Oppa_ is sexist - so I replied a lot about that - and I think Oppa_ got really mad at me

and then I found an old review by _Oppa I think? that was written in very bad English - looks like Asian native speaker maybe? - and I asked him about that and if that is the same person - something like that - he was really upset, called me vile eyes, and said he uses AI to help him write - and he BLOCKED ME

but since then I noticed that many times - every time?? - i write a review, Oppa_ writes a review. Since he blocked me, I never see any posts by him, but for some reasons, I can still see his reviews, but cannot comment on them. If I click on his icon, it is "unknown" i.e. that user blocked me.

Why that is fishy is I found a review on a daily First Man which imo is not something that Oppa_ watches... !!!! but there was that review, just under mine... And sometimes the review is already there, I think Oppa_ wrote review for Perfect Crown before I did.

SO to cut it short: Oppa_ is someone who usually writes very perceptive reviews, minus the sexism. I would highly recommend reading Oppa_ writing - well at least in the past, I am not really keeping up. His review on Dynamite Kiss, Perfect Crown, Honour, etc etc are really deep excellent reviews. i will check Sold Out on You then

@SnowDrop My Mister and My Liberation Notes then are a must, the same script writer
Check out profiles of any users who write posts you like

check out my profile or watch list and custim list of fav dramas. In my feed I have specialized lists, like romcoms, family dramas, etc . I am heavy art nerd though :) Dynamite Kiss is on my dropped list :) Dynamite Kiss is like a gold standard for measuring trash. Whoever liked that drama, is not someone who can recommend good dramas to watch LMAO
I also very much liked less known and very creative artsy dramas on this list:
on imdb.com /list/ls525827220/?sort=popularity%2Casc
There are lots of "big names" dropped in this discussion - Vincenzo. Flower of Evil, Sky Castle, Juvenile Justice, Mad for Each other, Crash Landing on You, My Mister, Mother, The Glory, etc.
For a lighter watch, there is this current daily called Our Happy Days which surprisingly has quality of miniseries, it is not a crude makjang but a rather sophisticated plot, filming and acting and esp like after ep .. 10? when ML actor "woke up"

Also, you can LEARN why you like to watch some dramas and what makes a better drama. ANother user here gave me a quick lesson on "emergent romance" search for that phrase below

ok I will check it out but my radar is already uo, the poster looks Korean
Yup this is totally not to my liking, it looks like a cheap copy of Korea in Chinese, pretty boy again, and the acting and camera is cringe. I am glad you are enjoying and I am glad I checked it out. Thank you.

That's exactly the point I was trying to make, you proved me correct :)
Vincenzo, lower o Evil, and Crash Landing are totally NOT mainstream, they are very unique and thought provoking "alternatives"... masterfully done, and there is nothing like it.

But anyways you are YuMi' Cells fan? The Cells concept has depth...., and if you really dig through Seasons 1, 2, 3 you will find LOTS of material to think about. It is actually quite deep study in relationships and psychology. I wrote some detailed reviews :) I you even glance at it you will see that your fun drama exposes tons of useful info :)
Without Cells, Seasons 1 and 2 would have been shallow boring toxic stories

Sure I am sure it all happens...
But still... the audience's preference... it is indeed catch 22, the marketing shapes the prefrences,,, but the marketing is exploiting some existing preferences :)

as for rewatch value... I think those classics you mentioned are THE rewatch value 10 and all the fluffy stuff is rewatch value 1 bc there is always new fluffy stuff coming up

as for ratings: there are individuals and even seemingly organized groups that have fake accounts and rate down (or up) - that is confirmed

THanks for Juvenile Justice, the only new on my radar, I just added it to plan to watch :)

Please explain what is "emergent romance" and what is "pure rom com" Google says Emergent romance (or "emergent love") is a relationship model where love is viewed as a dynamic, cultivated outcome rather than an instant, pre-existing feeling

yeah Chloe needs a different plan :) Joining forces with MJ and his Aunt .... ?

Whoa!!!! Wow now you are really making me think math!!!! This is a good point!

So when Chairman tested SR's DNA, who did he test?? he and SR, or DS and SR?
Is DS adopted? and if so, does Chairman know that?

DS and SH cannot be relatives... So DS must be adopted son...
So Chairman must have tested DS and SR DNA if he knows DS is adopted...
Chairman would test his and SR's DNA if he believed DS was his bio son.... But i he didnt know that DS was adopted, then the test would come out MATCHING if SH was Chairman's lost daughter

But if DS is Chairman's bio son... then Chairman can test himself and SR... but then DS and SH would be relatives... !!!! so that' out of question.

SO THOSE ARE NOW QUESTIONS - was DS adopted or not? If so, did Chairman know that? Is SH something to Chairman, with that clover crochet thingy?
And what is BH to Chairman, with those patterns on utensils and gold frog?

FL actress is such a phenomenal comedian. Her face when G asked her where is her arrow pointing now ... lmao Camera too :) when G came to type in the password and camera showed just FL's open wide almost hysterical eyes peeking from behind his sleeve and overheating - lmao
And the scene when they were looking at Joy and laughing, their faces so close to each other.... and they were walked on lmao - surprise!!!! - AND THEY DID NOT SEPARATE lmao they kept looking at each other from so close - lmao...

They both already fell in love. She is honest and direct, and he is a super aggressive in gettng her attention yet quite honest in polite ways, and she is such an easy target for his brazenly open flirting... so their interactions are complex, always new, unexpected, funny and very endearing. They are both in love already. He is such a skilled flirt, he is quickly getting her off her feet but I wonder what his intentions are, whre is he going with that and for long term. I suspect some issues with coming close. And she, she is the kind for long haul, and he better take good care of her.
So Miss Prude Boss is gonna have a heart attack but I am sure Min Ho will hold her :) I just wonder what she will do after ....
Min Ho's father entered his evil phase ...

Yeah... esp since HJ lied to MJ... HJ fell in love with JJ and kept it secret, and so then he grabbed Chloe first, Chloe as a concolation prize for JJ... and then it turned out she was JJ .. .and HJ kept quiet about it

Ah the domino effects - when one actor lights up, then other actors around him can light up too, everyone can act a lot better. I am talking MJ actor, he is finally defrosting some. Just keep on going! Chloe actress does beautiful acting with her eyes I love watchng her eyes, Dan Hui also has a way with the eyes but for her it is also the lips.
HJ is going literally mad and I hope his bio father can help him... DO YOU THINK CHAIRMAN KNOWS WHO IS HJ BIO DAD? I am sure he knows and that's why he doesnt really care for HJ....
, and YN is really funny looking soft and expessing her love .... I am glad she stopped biting her lip anxiously... We should take notes for a book called "HOW PSYCHOPATHS AND SERIAL KILLERS THINK" her thinking is definitely OFF... !!!!!
The old rag Chairman's Wife is cheap, crude, serial killer type of woman, but boy is she persistent and intuitive, that's is why she is so successful...

Yeah, HY as an actress could NOT have a baby out of wedlock with a nobody like Lapdog.. but he was handome... and hot :) good for warming her up... and THEY HAD TWO KIDS IN SECRET!!!!!

It is funny to see diferent sides of SR... she is soooo crafty in public dealings but is very soft in personal life - she has no experience and was raised by monsters...
HY was manipulating SR< before she left Chairman's house she said I AM SORRY to SR - and made SR think of her as her mom -

YEAH both JH and SR are starved for attention so even that kind of mom would do..

And JH has some really bad blood in him, he is actually cruel and HE KNOWS IT, and bc he WANTS!!!! Dumb Mi, he is siding with his mom. He is gonna harm BH and JM to get her

SR is not that bad and evil but she is insecure and conceited so... she could fall for promise of plastic surgery... or promise of JH..

I BET JH WILL LIE TO HER AND SEDUCE HER AND THEN SOMEHOW HARM HER AND MISUSE HER - like kindapping... ? or marrying her and taking over Dream Group?? .

SR doesnt know yet what JH did and it is Dumb Mi's fault for not telling ...

yeah we were all tricked to believe that Chairman did DNA test between him and SR... but he did a test between his ADOPTED son and SR!!!!! I googled it, it is possible to get DNA after a year, from toothbrush, nail clippers, personal items...

Seems like SH is the missing daughter to Chairman.
Chairman said losing his wife and daughter was paying for his sins.. So .. did Chairman steal from and/or kill BH's parents? Like in Woman who Swallowed the Sun?

That part threw me off and thats why I didnt think Laptog was likely the dad. I wrote a long post about it and listed that as one of the 4 possible solutions, but I didnt really believ in it - bc HY would have to hide it from Lapdog for 10 months.
Let's figure that out - HY was an actress so being pregnant in public was out of question. SO VERY LIKELY, she hid the belly as long as she could, and then went somewhere where nobody knows her and waited out the last months of pregnancy and gave birth.
Maybe she broke up with Lapdog... maybe he went away say to work on the sea... who knows. BUT for sure he had no idea she was pregnant and gave birth.

Chairman had wife and daughter... and lost them.. how? seems like SH is the lost daughter... ? bc o that crochetd clovery thingy ... ? Chairman said he lost them to pay for his sins - did he kill BH's parents? And Chairman adopted DS ? Bc there is no way DS and SH are relatives.

So when HY showed up with SR, most likely Chairman did not test himself and SR. He tested DS and SR. I checked online, even after a year you can do a DNA test on personal items like toothbrush, comb, nail clippers, etc Larned something today :)

Meanwhile, Lapdog and HY had kept each other very warm and they produced JH - but somehow - Lapdog did NOT know :) for 30 years... So HY was pregnant and giving birth and having a baby at home - all alone and without money - WITHOUT LAPDOG EVEN KNOWING! So how was that possible? HY was successfully hiding her belly and the baby at least 7-8 months.

so she gave JH away ater like 1 month bc she had no money for even baby food . ..... and then ... ??? fast forward, we see her as a famous actress, with Lapdog as her Assistant and she telling reporters she is pregnant with Chairman's son - but she and Lapdog talk and behave like the parents.

So HY and Lapdog had TWO kids :) Then she ditched him for an affair with Professor....
and maybe even Professor is ready to give her up lol when he learned what she did - or maybe not??

MAYBE HY COMES BACK WITH LAPDOG, SONNY HO, AND PROFESSOR.... ? AND SR!!!!! they could bait her with JH.... !!!!

OK post for the math - who is who to whom ..

Excellent guess :) it never occured to me before bc it was never shown in the drama before

yesh I just checked online, you can test for DNA on an absent person - toothbrush, nail clippers, personal items, some hair left on his stuff, etc

But it was you who made us start thinking in this way first. Bc .. I was on automatic pilot asuming that Chairman tested for DNA between him and SR. But he tested for DS and SR... bc DS was adopted. :) We were never shown that DS was an adopted son so I just assumed he was a real son - but this is a lesson, DO NOT ASSUME ANYTHING!!!!

So Chairman lost his wife and SH :) which was his punishment, he said? maybe for stealing from and killing BH's parents? and then Chairman adopted DS....

I remember being upset that we never got to see Chairman doing a DNA test in early episodes... I think I vagely remember him saying recently that he did a DNA test... I didnt think he would have his son's DNA on file after a year - I think we all were thinking Chairman tested SR and himself - but ... ppl have / lose / adopt kids left and right :)

And I just saw it online, Chairman could have used DS's toothbrush, nail clippers, or other personal items for a DNA test even ater a year of absence!

Oh so then - Chairman had wife and daughter and lost them because he was paying for .... killing BH's parents and stealing the company from them? So Chairman adopted DS...
