I am so confused about you saying that drama being directed by women is why its soft and comforting. It has nothing…
Yes I just wanted to say that things you pointed out are not the way they are because of director sex but because that's how they translated script into visual media. What they do is mostly technical and creative visual stuff and directing actors according to script. But it's very flex on the amount of responsibility depending on production if it's indie movie, spot, series, feature film, etc.
As someone who works in the industry mostly as DOP and sometimes director I would like to let you know that unless director is very famous or also wrote the script they don't influence the story or any of these aspects much. Reasons you point out you like in this series is that way because it was written so in the scripts and producer approved it. In this case creator and scriptwritters are all also female.
So the reason why it's not filled with damsels in distress, stupid fl leads, ml depending on fl is not because of director choice. Directors in kdramas don't adapt and write scripts in most cases.
Directors also do director cuts with editor but usually producers make their own cuts after to maximise profits etc. That is why we sometimes have movies with director cut because in cinema we get studio version. In kdramas directors usually have less then usual power and are basically there to just get the job done without much input being allowed. Producers have all the power and make all the key decisions and they decide how much power they delegate to director. In this case producer was a male and he chose female director to do the job and chose to be ok with aspects of original content or scripts be potrayed the way you see it.
Your idea of director is probably romanticised version of famous hollywood director who also helped in writting the script or pitched movie themself and are treating it as passion project.
I don't wanna downplay influence directors have their hands in all aspects of the final result but their influence is limited based on project, enviroment, producer. They make sure vision is realised and they make many decisions in collaboration with many people behind and on screen, it's just that reasons you pointed out are not because of director input.
I say this just so you won't have the wrong idea about the way things are done and not as a attack on what you said 😀
True, you are speaking facts but this drama is mid, overrated and had many other issues before this, so incensitive…
As I always say you can love something but still be critical of it and see for what it is. You seem like either very dismissive person or/and have selective reading based on your reply.
It's good because it's 12 ep and doesn't add boring bloat. It makes for better consistend and tight experience.
Well that happen when they make middle episodes filler and load all events and resolve in finale. Considering last episode had a lot of development I doubt that will happen.
As a fellow Muslim this whole discussion is getting ridiculous. Never saw Arabs protecting south or east asian…
True, you are speaking facts but this drama is mid, overrated and had many other issues before this, so incensitive representation of a prince that doesn't really represent common people is not why this show is meh but it's another nail in the coffin. Now all other valid criticism will be dismissed.
Okay but am i the only one that noticed that while playing the piano toeards the end of ep. 8, the hands belong…
It's common for close ups to be switched to stand in who can actually play the instrument especially in piano where you can hide their hands in wide and medium shots. Tho usually you try and find someone who is very similar looking so it's not noticable unless you analyse it.

This drama is so soft and comforting. I bet the director is a woman. (Checks). I was right!Despite the plot imperfections,…
I am so confused about you saying that drama being directed by women is why its soft and comforting. It has nothing to do with director sex but their ability to direct and how good screenplay, actors and production as whole are.
Everyone has different opinions. You can love the drama to death, but give other people the freedom to be critical…
Are you a kid ? sheesh. Why do you expect people to cater to you just because you can't ignore some critical valid points. The fact your block list is full says a lot about you.
That poster had rational take and wasn't insulting in any way. Wasn't even really critical. I can't believe how sensitive you are being.
You can be critical of media and still enjoy it.
I guess you need to make space for me now on your list.
Honestly, I don't get what you are trying to achieve here... You've already created a discussion, so why write…
Well sure I had low expectations and I am watching it passively and mostly speed up.
But it's fair for people like OP wondering why it has such high scores. It's perfectly fine as a mid show if you have no set high expectations. But score doesn't reflect it is all they are saying.

But it's true tho. They just banked on idols and created drama around them doing stuff and getting into situations that have no proper connection or sense. It's filler made to put product placements in and sell stuff. Writting is abysmal and makes no sense. Characters are in situations and do stuff because they need to do it not because it makes sense.
Honestly I have no idea, the female character does give Seoha's mom vibes yes but how could she recognize Ji Eum…
Male character has something to do with being shaman based on few initial scenes. Maybe he performs rituals to unlock past memories or he himself can see and know everyone reincarnations. Considering he started working at FL place he prob knows her from some period of her past life. In her flashbacks she was also a shaman.

It's completely fine for what it is but high rating gave many people high expectations for such average show.
It's just average kdrama and seem very outdated compared to many new well produced shows in past few years.

Binary 1 and 10 and passionate I have to take side and love it or hate it seems absurd to me, yet many people rate and write like that here.
people just voice their opinion and here it even went so cringe that people started discussing about actors irl dating.
People are obsesive like they own idol life and are to dedicated and parasocial.
