I used to bother answering but now I no longer bother I just block. So far I've blocked 15 fairly active users and honestly that completely changed my MDL experience. Also I don't necessarily block people only when they've been aggressive to me... If they do that to another user, I know they're the type I don't want to engage with and I just block them. The only thing I can't avoid is people who create specific accounts just to annoy people. They're like mushrooms, block one comes another so I've just trained my eyes to automatically avoid their posts.

Anyway as I've mentioned to another member before, Internet has become an extension people's lives IRL. Would anybody insult somebody else in real life over DRAMAS or ACTORS? Even typing this is ridiculous, yet people do it online.

My motto is extend the same courtesy you observe IRL online, plain and simple. We can disagree and discuss in a constructive way to understand each other's points of view without necessarily feel the need to convince the other party. It's ok to think differently. People are always seeking validation from others hence the ridiculous arguments online which is never going to make anyone budge from one's position anyway.

This should be a place you relax after a long day of work and people are turning it into another battlefield. NO thank you. I've got enough of that IRL.

Glad you've decided to give it a try. Btw if you've looked at the latest comment episode 3 was a huge improvement compared to the first 2 episodes... and episode 4 was even better ending with a really good cliffhanger... I personally can't wait to see what's gonna happen next weekend ^^

OH... Ok... Just noticed... Dunno why I typed that... It was clear in my head yet I wrote the wrong word several times. I'm gonna edit the posts. Thanks for pointing it out ^^

Err Actually there's nothing funny. I guess you don't know how "blocking" works here. You can't block people from the website, you can only block them on a personal basis. If you block someone, you no longer see their comments online and any comments that is a direct response to said individuals. They're still free to spread their toxicity, you just no longer see them. If you block rude and disrespectful people along with people who have a tendency to argue over nothing, it removes quite a LOT of unpleasantness from MDL.

EDIT: Saeng has pointed out the fact that I wrote 'ban' instead of 'block' which might explain why you didn't get my post. I've editing both previous posts lol. Only excuse is I must have pretty distracted... Multi-tasking is a myth (also I'd written 'ban' on my personal page so that that probably stuck unconsciously in my head).

" theres a lot of people on this site who can't handle criticism without taking it personal"

So true. I've partially resolved that issue by blocking people. Makes MDL so much more agreeable.

Oh yeah... Completely forgot that drama from my mind... True Jeon Sonee wasn't really convincing either... But from what I remember that drama wasn't that focused on the romance aspect... It was an ok drama but they didn't truly make use of the genderbender aspect from what I recall... That drama was also pretty disappointing for me...

Currently on episode 17.
When I started this series I didn't understand your comment but I've started to feel the "slowness" for the past 5/6 episodes.
I'm still very much enjoying the whole mystery aspect of it but I do have to admit I wish they sped things up a little, some parts feel pretty draggy and not for the sake of storytelling... I just don't understand the director's choice.

Anyway, I've seen you've put that show on hold... I personally am just taking things slower. I don't like to watch too many shows at the same time but I ended up starting other shows on the side because I can't handle that slow pace for too many episodes in a row.

Personally I've definitely given up on MDL ratings altogether. I only care when a drama is rated below 6.5... which almost never happens.
I saw ratings were already up even before the first episode had aired. Then people bailing out after 1 episode not even allowing the setup to be put in place. The backstory was needed, it took 2 episodes. This week's episodes were a huge improvement from last week but again they needed to establish the story.

When I started to watch K dramas 20 years ago, it wasn't unusual to have dramas which backstory took 4 to 6 episodes to set up the main story and people weren't complaining, they were patient enough to let the story take its time and grow attached to characters.


Anyway, too bad for those who left and good for those who stayed. I'm also very much enjoying this series. 2024 was a great K drama year for me. Lots of very good series... It doesn't happen every year.

Episode 4 was the best so far... and that cliffhanger :D

Hohoho... Hohoho ☺☺☺☺☺☺

I love my love triangle so I hope you're wrong. It's all a matter of how it's done. The love triangle in Lovely Runner was wonderful. It was mostly friendly banter and it was fun to watch. SO YEAH, bring in the love triangle.

A bit disappointed that Eun Ho and Jun Hwa weren't kept in the dark longer ( 'cuz I guess the show hinted very clearly that Eun Ho guessed "His manly Deok Su" is the girl on the poster) BUT it can give an interesting dynamic.

Based on the preview, it doesn't seem that Deok Su knows that both of them know she's a girl ( Su Ra's opinion hasn't been shown so for now I'm going to assume he's an idiot and hasn't guessed that no way in hell can a guy look that beautiful but whatever)...

So I'm all invested in seeing Eun Ho and Jun Hwa getting into petty fights and playing the knights in shining armor to protect her secret with her being completely oblivious of what they know and what they do for her. Of course with some petty jealousy thrown in. I love my triangle when it leads to two guys acting like they're 5 years old with a girl who just doesn't give a fudge. Never gets old.

I mean, the irony of having this cute looking boy, who they already saw in all her feminine glory, calling herself "Manly Deok Su" in front of them while flexing her inexistant biceps is just hilarious...

Though I don't know exactly how she's gonna get out of her predicament.

Anyway, each episode has topped the one before... This week is gonna be reaaaaaaaaaally long.

END of Episode 4 ==> FINALLY getting TRULY invested!!!!
Episode 5 is gonna be fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiire 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

I think the changes make the story far more interesting in my book... But I truly miss the dangerous aura that Sa Eon had when we started this series. I wish they had kept that "wattpad menacing vibe" a bit longer... But I forgive the show, 'cuz the kisses are GREAT. A rarity in K dramaland so credits must be given when they're due.

I don't think it will impact this private channel... On a side note, as sad as it is, it was bound to happen. I used to work in aeronautics and it's been YEARS people working in the field have repeated and repeated that Boeing was botching its maintenance on their planes to save money. Don't want to say too much to avoid problems... but I've seen it first line. Every time I take a plane, I cross my fingers that the plane in question is an Airbus. Hopefully if they lose enough money, they'll start to care about the safety of their passengers more than the dividends of their shareholders.

Don't trust it, just try it for yourself. This poor show was rated even before the first episode had been aired.

Personally I'm enjoying it, the only flaw so far is that there's absolutely nothing original. It's very classic and doesn't stray from what you would expect from the genre, so If you're not in the mood you might be bored.

I was looking for something funny and fresh and gender bender is my jam so I'm glad I gave it a try.
If you're still hesitating, just wait until all episodes have aired and a proper ratings comes out. Based on what we've seen so far, I would rate this show 8/8.5 but we're still in the beginning, things might heat up later.

Also, I no longer trust any MDL ratings. It can be a good indication but at the end of the day it's all a matter of taste. The Judge from Hell has a very high ratings. I personally hated it and dropped it after 6 episodes. Blossom has been heavily recommended to me and while I'm enjoying the show, I wouldn't give it a 10 so far and some of the most popular shows on MDL are those I wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy.

So again taste... and mood. If you're not in the mood for that type of show, even the best show is going to bore you.

I'd say MDL ratings can only be (relatively) trusted MONTHS after the show has finished airing. Usually there's some form of "mob ratings" in the first few months, people loving or hating the show voting in masses whereas you get a more balanced opinion when late viewers who have missed the hype watch said show.

I'm not talking about the preview. This scene is a pre-release scene or whatever... I don't know how you call it. It's a small scene from the upcoming episode that is released usually one or two days before the episode is aired.

That sentence:

"she killed her father "

is a spoiler.

This what they're hinting at in episode 3 so I'm also thinking the same...

BUT it is still a spoiler, since what you're mentioning is only shown at the end of episode 2... Hence spoiler tag is needed.

Hmm... I don't get the sus vibes you're talking about. Sure, his father is who he is... But it feels to me that he's kept his son out of his shady business. It doesn't necessarily mean Jun Hwa won't turn against our leads at some point given how they're basically not on the same side... But given the vibes of the series, It wouldn't surprise me that Jun Hwa ends up helping them in spite of knowing he's going against his father... But only time will tell ^^

Episode 3 was pretty silly. Put a smile on my face from the first minute but now I'm ready for them to start romancing a bit. Since I'm into sadomasochism, It would be nice if Jun Hwa was the first to know the truth :D Love him.

Based on one preview scene that you can see here:

(set VPN on South Korea if not visible), we're gonna get this.

Also the preview from last week hints at the beginning of a shift in feelings for our stuck up Prince so I'm sooooooo ready :D
