That means nothing from person who is paid to promote it lol.I like dramas from IU but idk why you take promotional…
Sure, I have no idea what actors say because I don't follow or stalk them, I just watch some drama and that's it. Could care less about them other then their performance.

Even if actor believes when they tell you something is good it has little value from more objective point of view of a 3rd party unbiased reviewer. But contract wise they legit can't shit talk their production unless they wanna pay damages or get sued and they also in contract have obligations to promote stuff for limited time so their opinion has little value in being unbiased word during promotional time.

Sure maybe they can talk shit later but not while they are contractually binded which is now. This period right now is when they do promo and legit can't shit talk product without lawsuit.

Also being in it and making it they can legit genuine think its good even if from unbiased POV it could be mid. I am not saying this will be mid but actors are many times enjoying shooting something and experience could be good but then end product could still end up mid and badly produced, edited or whatever.

Most actors don't even know how end product will actually turn out without pre screen watching. I doubt she got to do that.

Since in kdrama there are no residuals Korean actors get a fixed upfront fee per drama, so they promote like crazy because a hit would be a career boost. Next drama salary can be negotiated higher and based on kdrama hype Brand deals (CFs) and endorsements pay WAY more which in turn lead to more variety shows, fan meets, and international gigs.

But contracts literally require them to hype the show on press, lives, socials, etc. It's part of the job. Higher ratings/views keep the whole team happy and make them more bankable and picked for future projects.

It legit is, they are all PR trained since young age, especially idols and them talking on fan app is legit encouraged or segment by agency to engage with most parasocial loyal fans who spend money on merchandise.

oh I get it I am just a 34 year old dude who works in video production and not a naive teenager who base their opinion on lead saying it's good during promotional time while it airs and think answering fan app is also not part of PR.

are you aware that a lot of popular kdrama are adaptation of some chinese drama?
Yes but how will cdrama improve on it with so many restrictions set plus budget on Korean one was high under disney production.

It will be castrated, sterile adaptation that won't be even able to potray original point of the show.

While Korean version has things that can be improved, I don't see how cdrama with restrictions and limited budget could do that.

So which country Thailand copied this from? They copy a lot of Chinese and Korean dramas. They can't come up with…
Legit says it's source at top of this page.. Adapted from the novel "Chi Shen" (乩身) by Hsing Tzu (星子).

If the drama is true to the adaptation what's the problem?Also, it's been proven that in the ancient world and…
Most of royals were inbreed and kinda ugly if you look at history.. even when they were painted to be portrayed better they still looked scuffed af.

Aristocratic make up that is symbolizing wealth and status was very on the nose and not what we see in cdrama. It looked kinda ridiculous but intension was to be noticed for status.

Also none of that makes sense in many cdramas where you wouldn't even have time or ability to get make up or have like any sort of make up as soon as you wake up, traveling, on battlefield, remote location,..

This drama is good but how can these two lawyer found same case everytime. Without this fact phantom lawyer is…
Because things need to happen certain way so they are conveniently written that way.

This show has so many short cuts and plot holes them being on the same case is not even top 10.

So people blindly upvote reviews without even reading them just because they like the number? 😀

You can't really trust opinion of people on this site when the most up voted review is legit obvious AI written review.

All critical thinking is gone these days..

They actually use to be like that but in the last few years, the industry introduced limitations.
So you prefer progression getting halted and pace slowed down to milk more episodes over better paced higher quality produced episodes?

Even if they added 10 more episodes it would feel the same because it's fundamental issue of many cdrama to shove most resolution at the end so no matter how many more episodes you add it feels rushed because it doesn't have consistent overall progression and pacing throughout all episodes.

It doesn't need more episodes. It needs tighter mid and reduce the fluff so actual progression happens at better pacing without feeling rushed at the end or adding unnecessary more episodes.

I think you misunderstood what I was saying.

I am saying cdramas have inflated ratings.

I mostly noticed inflated ratings in kdramas with idols or romcoms but cdramas overall have inflated ratings and on average sit higher regardless of actual quality. So they sit higher then expected rating.

You focused on few highly rated kdramas which misses my point.
Replying to paxxie 21 days ago
Some of the reasons for its high rating is, imo:1. if you're a seasoned idol cdrama watcher you know how special…
I am trying to start and watch some cdramas but I must say most were just not for me.

Most I tried watching either have awful pacing or acting I disliked.

Occasionally I found something I like, sadly it almost always fall apart after first 1/3 but I only tried watching a few.

I feel like some that I kinda liked would be so much better if they were edited into tighter format with less episodes, good pacing and removed pointless stuff.

I'll put your recommendations on the list and check them out when I have more time.

Idk about that. Most kdramas are high 7 or low 8. This is 9.2 which is extremely rare for kdramas but I seen many cdramas rated high 8 or over 9 that would be like low 8 otherwise.

It sets expectations high.. it's basically scored as if this is the best cdrama has to offer.
