There's something I've been meaning to ask someone for the longest time ever. Does guys use MDL or is it just…
My 2 cents. For having discussed with a couple guys here through private messages ( I've had an account here since 2017 but erased it at some point because I wanted to change my nickname in my link and there was no other way to do it). There are guys on MDL but most of them are more into thrillers and/or don't want to openly admit they watch romance. This being said most members are females on this website.
I have another account on Myanimelist... Demographic: Mostly guys, way less females there. The mood is also very different... Overall more toxic in the anime world. Anything gay related gets of misogynistic comments and are outwardly homophobic. Overall comments are always pretty aggressive there. I personally only go there to keep my personal list because I like to keep tracks of what I watch but I don't bother with interacting with people. Too much toxicity.
My own brother used to watch quite a lot of K dramas 10 years ago... But you wouldn't catch him dead admitting he enjoyed the romantic ones openly. I know... I'm the one who gave him recommandations. Now he's switched to only watch anime because there are shorter...
I think most men who are confident enough to admit they enjoy romantic stories are usually the oldest ones. Most of the others are going to say they're girlfriends, sisters, mothers or whatever forced them to watch them but they would never bother watch any on their own of course.
That's just my opinion based on my observations. I might be wrong though.
EDIT: Note that I said "Most men" I didn't say "All men".
True Beauty.... Haven't seen it on your watched list. It's by the same writer. Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo is pretty nice as well. Both feature a supportive male lead who fall in love with the girl first, and will put a smile on your face.
Why is everybody wishing a happy mother's day? Just checked and it's on the 26th of May in my country (France). Is it different or is everybody mistaking the year?
Why this drama and Perfect Marriage Revenge have the same rating, I will never understand. They do have some similarities,…
... I think we all rate depending on our own criteriums。 Personally, I rated both the same. Marry my husband was a blast for the first 10 episodes... but then I found the later episodes less enjoyable so my rating went from 9.5 to 8.5.
Perfect Marriage Revenge was an enjoyable show with a fair amount of craziness and a swoony ML. And it was short. There was no disappointment。 The quality stayed constant through the whole drama notably because the series was only 12 episodes. Hence same ratings of 8.5.
I used to rate based on production value, plot, character writing and whatnot... But at the end of the day, many shows which fared well on all of these fronts left me utterly cold. Of course, production value is a plus, but it's not a must. At the end of the day, it's all about how much you had fun watching which I think is the most important thing.
EDIT: I see you're currently watching Vincenzo. This is an exemple for me of drama that rates well on all criteriums but which characters and story I really didn't care about from beginning to the end... I didn't enjoy myself. Finished it hoping to like it like everybody... but nope. Not my cup of tea. The production value saved my ratings. I gave it a 6.5 when I actually wanted to rate it below 4.5... But I didn't because yeah... I still took into account the overall quality of the show even if I didn't enjoy it.
Ok. I give up. I had decided I was just going to rewatch the best scenes until Monday... But since I can't focus and I've been rewatching these scenes a million times at this point, I'm throwing the towel and re-watching all episodes. Seon Jae, you're ruining my life. I've got WORK to do. I hope you're happy!
Maybe I should stop and go re-watch the beginning 😂
I'm personally stalking this comment section to survive. Didn't rewatch everything but the best moments... But definitely rewatching the show once it's finished.
totally agree. I see them come in and just ignore them. I don't like the condescending ones, but I don't want…
Gotta agree to the firstresponse to your comment. This type of troll just want a reaction and spread negativity, they're not worth your time and energy.
Again. I don't think it's wrong to not like a show and express your opinion... because some potential viewers might come across the comment, read the explanations of the person who didn't like it and decide it's not for them instead of wasting time on a show they just know they won't like.
It's perfectly valid. I haven't been obsessed with a show like this in years... but to each one his own. What I can't tolerate is being insulted...
But since these type of trolls are not worth it... also because my free time is scarce so I'd rather fill it with positivity, I just ignore them. I know sometimes it's difficult to resist... but trust me, the same idiot insulting others of being immature and childish or whatever is probably going from one comment section to another comment section, literally stalking who is the innocent victim who is going to fall into this trap.
It's not even a matter of age. My little's brother colleague who is in his early 30s, has openly admitted that he spends most of his free time doing exactly that, trolling until somebody answers him. A former colleague of my father, in his early 70s does exactly the same... I'll never understand that type of people... and I really don't want to.

Not really sure though.
Ep 12 for 16 episodes K dramas are always cursed.
But I'm crossing my fingers LR to prove me wrong.

Some of us have been here from day one... Just imagine what we've been through for the past 5 weeks...
Thank You :D
My God....
Nothing gets past them.
