So I'm seeing a lot of reviews commenting on the ending.I just started this, but I need to know, is it a happy…
I second the question and the comment. I was looking forward to this drama with Ci Sha as the ML but I'm not gonna bother if it's not a HE. Can somebody please spoil us?
I had added it to my completed list... But I've decided to remove it... I already have an account on MyAnimeList and I checked... even THEY didn't list KPOP Demon Hunters as this is neither an Asian production nor can be considered an anime.
For the record, MAL does list Korean, Chinese and Japanese Anime but also a couple of foreign production such as "Oban Star Racers" a French production which was produced in collaboration with Japan ( though the brunk of the work is French)... It doesn't list Wakfu though, which is 100% French produced although it is clearly an anime.
Bottom line: To be listed on MAL, the show must be partially Asian at least even if most of the production is not Asian.
In this movie, none of the songs are in Korean, everything is American. It doesn't remove the quality of the work... and it's clearly an ode to Kpop in general - really not my thing but the songs are catchy for sure - just that I don't think it's the right place to be listed.
If you type "My Hero Academia" in the search bar, you'll see the Final season is also listed here.
Honestly I've read the post regarding the idea of having a new feature... And I don't get it. The site is called "kisskh". Instead of extending to anime when there's already MAL, why not extend on the countries listed? Vietnam has a couple of interesting shows I've seen that I can't list. Indonesia has an extensive horror movie production etc. That would still be in line with this website imho...
On the movie... Well, I guess the success is mostly due to the catchy songs. It was really entertaining but I don't think that it terms of the story or the animation, it deserved as much praise as it got. No hate though.
I don't see why it doesn't make any sense. When she was a maid, everybody walked all over her including people…
I don't really understand how you want her to show" she learned the hard way" her behavior. When you behave a certain way you don't have a post-it on your foreheadd saying " I'm behaving like this because of my troubled past"... if it was the case, people wouldn't get misunderstood. People who are born into wealth don't need to overact the power-trip like she does.
Also the issue is not her behaving like she is entitled and expecting everybody to kiss her feet. The point is, if you don't look down on others they will look down on you according to her twisted view of the world. It doesn't matter that these people are above or below her, you always need to act like you're above EVERYONE. That's the idea.
Well that's a moot point anyway. Let's agree to disagree. This being said you might blame the writing but certainly not the actress. There's a script and a director, they're the ones who are asking her to portray her character this way.
Though I 100% disagree about your view regarding the writing and portrayal, so far to me it's perfect, but again, to each one their own.
In present time the FL is acting like she was an entitled, high ranking male in her former life. Her mannerism,…
I don't see why it doesn't make any sense. When she was a maid, everybody walked all over her including people of the same status than her. Nobody supported her whether of lower or higher status. Then she became the King's concubine, and probably thought she was finally safe, only to discover that he was plotting behind the scene to kill her. She learned that if you're kind and modest, people are just going to walk all over you. In her head, you shouldn't wait for people's kindness and respect because it's not gonna come. You don't ask you TAKE.
People bully the weak, they might dislike the strong but at least they keep their manners around them, ... something she learned the hard way in her previous life. On the contrary it would have been weird having her behave like a lowly servant. That would be like her forgetting all that she learned and went through and repeat the same mistakes in the present timeline.
Thoroughly disappointed with Perfect Crown - biggest disappointment this year so far - ended up dropping it. I love both leads in this one but was planning to watch it when all episodes were aired... But people are raving about this one so... OK let's go. I don't want to have too much expectations because I've been burnt by PC and another overly hyped K drama this year so, I'm keeping my expectations down low.
Ok... I wrote a rant which I erased several times... But I guess I just can't get past this, and I don't care about all the praises this series got.
AUTISTIC PEOPLE AREN'T OVERGROWN BABIES!
No they don't spend their time doodling with colored pencil, NO they don't need somebody to help them get changed, NO they're not gonna clap their hands for some stupid stickers.
ADULT AUTISTIC PEOPLE ARE ADULTS. THEY'RE MOSTLY INDEPENDANT, in fact given the proper environment, they earn their keep just fine which given Ozone's case should have been the case in this drama.
This is the WORSE representation of autism that I've ever seen. Nothing against the actor, that's how he was directed to act but NOPE, this isn't autism.
There are different degrees in autism and supposedly Ozone is on the severe side.
WELL then dear writers, there's an old movie made in 1988 which features two brothers, one with one of the most severe case of autism. It's called "RAIN MAN" featuring Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman...
It's almost fudging 40 YEARS OLD and it did WAY BETTER than you at a time when autism wasn't as spread as it is now ( because yes sadly, this condition is on the rise) and people didn't know better.
GO WATCH IT NEXT TIME instead of perpetuating wrong ideas about it. F*** LAZY. DO YOUR RESEARCH!
Could have been enjoyable I guess if I wasn't familiar with autism in the first place on a personal level. All the emotional BS, Ozone hugging and all of that. Ha! What a joke. Doesn't happen in real life. You know... with people who are REALLY autistic.
Forced myself to finish this mess. The final "twist" is supposed to be all emotional but since all I could focus on was the fact that Ozone was behaving like an adult mentally challenged - which is again NOT the case with autism, they think different but they don't behave like children - it just pissed me off the whole scene.
Do you realize that even autistic people who are Asperger for instance, so one of the mildest form - very difficult to detect, often only diagnosed when reaching adulthood - aren't comfortable with physical touch? Yet Ozone is clinging to literally everyone including people he barely knows.
Interesting story, but the whole autism thing is an eyesore. I won't give this a passing grade.
The replacement of Bongseok's actor is so unnecessary... im so sad about the news. He is the most beloved character…
You can't stop a whole production for one single actor. Moving features a whole lot of A list actors whose respective schedules have to match to film together. You're asking a whole production to stop for ONE ACTOR who can't even confirm what his plans are after his military service. That means that you're also asking for his colleagues to hold off on other projects they might be interested in just to be sure to be free when HE is ready to film?
Come on' be for real.
Realistically if they waited for him, season 2 would be filmed at the earliest in 2028 and by then the hype would already have died... on top of having actors too old to still be acting as teenagers ( dude is already 28 ).
Not only that but one has to consider all the technicians, CGI artists and so on working on the project. The production probably prefers working with the same team from Season 1 to Season 2 but like actors these technicians move from project to project. Wait too much and they'll be engaged on other things with no room left to go back on working on this series... Which would mean additional time to hire new workers and make them get familiar with the whole artistic direction, working habits etc. which defers depending on who is at the helm.
In short: Replace one actor and a whole lot of issues are solved or prevented. He's not the character, he's an actor playing a character. Also, people can complain all they want, but since he won't be the focus of future seasons, that's an even bigger reason not to bother.
same! it’s clear that the Angst is same level, or more, as Love In The Moonlight (the abusive father and helpless,…
Yeah I've got LITM trauma so I'm gonna spare my heart this time and binge the whole thing... Gotta admit I really had to resist the first two weeks but checking out the comments I'm like " Yeah, that was the right decision" 😁🙃
Glad I waited... I knew they were going to make it as angsty as possible. It's decided. I'll start it once 7 episodes are out. No way in hell am I going to subject myself to all that angst.
Disappointing ending. Rushed and unearned. I dropped this after 6 episodes, thinking I was just not in the mood... And to be fair I'm not... But rushed and disappointing ending, characters changing their mind and stance our of nowhere, happy ending for everyone including those who didn't earn it... with a disappointing conclusion on top?
Nah sorry. I won't pick this up again... even though I love IU and Byun Woo Seok. They're not worth the disapointment。I read this script won a contest?
If so I doubt it was this 12 episodes version because my God, even watching from the sideline the last 6 episodes ( I just checked the most important scenes to see where this was going), it feels like they cut corners to fit the 12 episodes format and probably butchered the original story... because no way in hell did this script win any contest or people at MBC are going senile.
i'll be honest i don't think the script could've been saved if they weren't pressed for time and had 16 eps instead.…
Yeah I just checked the ending... and I'm not even sure about what I wrote. I don't mind clichés when it's well done but I was already a bit on the fence after 6 episodes... Now that I've checked the end, the only word that comes to mind is "dissapointment". I love all actors in that show, but the script is just pretty weak. It's okay to go the clichés' route... and no drama is perfect... But that rushed ending giving forgiveness to characters who didn't earn it and 180° personality change on top is just jarring.
I'm not gonna defend a show that failed its viewers to that degree. Now I'm not even sure I'll bother. I'm no fan, so sado masochism is out of the question... I'm currently watching the 3rd season of Alice in Borderland, and my God do I regret not listening to people and wasting my precious time on it... But now there's only one episode left, so I'll see this sheep through the bitter end. I'm not sure I can accept throwing more than 12 hours of my life on this, when I already spent more than 6 hours. Time's precious and I've already wasted too much.
The problem is not the clichés... it's the fact that the "happy ending" feel unearned and rushed for the sake of completing this in 12 episodes. The pacing was bad, and the writing was weak. They had great actors, great production, beautiful costumes and they totally wasted the script. They relied too much on IU and Byun Woo Seok's fame to carry the whole thing but no matter how great an actor is, you can't save a lazy script...
At the end of the day... I think I'm glad I dropped it at 6 episodes... I don't think I'll bother picking this up again. I'm just VERY dissapointed. 2 years waiting for Byun Woo Seok's next drama and that's what we got... A nothing burger...
Well I put it aside for 3 weeks... planning to binge the remaining episodes in one go... But I still spoiled myself enough to know what is happening... and... It's a drop for me especially seing the strange reversal of the Queen in episode 11. Doesn't make sense to me... except for the fact that this series is only 12 episodes not 16 and hence they were pressed by time. A few scenes I've seen for episode 11 also had some very choppy editing. I don't know if I'm the only one who feels that way... I'm afraid of this comment section, so I'm just throwing my 2 cents here without having read other comments. Anyway, given the fact that it's pre-produced and the amount of money poured it, honestly it's a bit of a let-down.
The face card is strong, and there's lots of money poured in, but not a single cliché feels fresh or new... it's predictability at its finest... I literally remember the last comment I posted 3 weeks ago regarding noble idiocy and what not. No surprise there.
This being said, it's not necessarily a bad thing.
Sometimes, you're just in the mood for something classic with all the clichés in the book and that's totally fine. I'm just not in the mood at present, so I'll give it another go in a couple of months. Hopefully by then, this comment section will have calmed down.

1st episode: MY GOD!!! I haven't laughed that much over a K drama ever. Everything was so WTF and that "plant fight"? Epic.
I really want to know how all the cast did to remain serious filming this because I just can't 🤣🤣🤣
Please be as good as people say you are.
