What turned out to be one of the best 1st episode of the year, ended with one of the worst. When did writers forget to write stories properly?
I couldn't care less about the Webtoon, but if you can't follow your own story properly, what's the point of writing something? This show was saved by the amazing performance of Kim You Jung.
Junseo is the REAL VILLAIN of this story! One of THE WORST male lead/character I've seen!
I do think the writing is horror in this one, but that specific scenario is not that bad. Like if the phone is…
Yes, but that wasn't the case with the phone here. I get the computer, because I know many people don't log off at their work place. I worked at companies like she did and people looked at me like a weirdo when I always put the PC on sleep mode when I go restroom or just eat.π
give me an example of a show that was well written with a lower score
"Hur Jun, the Original Story" or "Today's Webtoon" for example. Both are well-written and under 8.0. π I rate both show 9/10, and I rarely give a higher score than 8.
The reason romcoms are not my faves Kdrama genre is because people always want to make excuses for the shitty script, like: "It's just a romcom." Yeah, sure, but that doesn't excuse the lazy, inconsistent and unrealistic writing. This is a romcom, not a fantasy.
Like, if I want to frame someone, and I'm using her own computer to send a mail and I see a massive smart phone on the table recording, the least I can do is stop the recording. And this is just one stupid mistake the writer made.
8.0 for this show is still too high, considering how many well-written shows has lower scores.
There's no way in hell this drama deserve more than 6.0 let alone 8.0 rating with one of the worst writing. Most…
I know, but that shouldn't be the standard. On VIKI every freakin' show is at least 9.0 rated.π
Everything above 8.0 is really good, and this wasn't. I know it's all about taste, but I've seen 7.0 or below rated shows I actually liked more than this one.
I mean, if 8-8.3 is mid/decent, what can we say about shows that are rated lower than 7? π
It's just most people don't like to give lower scores, even if they say they had problems with some dramas. I've read many comments and reviews from people over the years saying the writing was bad, and they give 8+ ratings. It just doesn't make sense.
This drama is another example of how Kdrama fans' brain works. Most people think the writing was bad, but they still give at least 8/10 rating because the kissing scenes were hot, and the chemistry was great.
I seriously don't know why people watch Kdramas if they only care about the chemistry, they shouldn't rate shows based on that. Yesterday I wrote my review, and I realized and forgot to mention 100s of mistakes that writer made in 14 episodes, not just the last couple. It was all over the place.
As I said below, "Dynamite Kiss" is basically the new "Love Next Door", "Lovely Runner" and "When The Phone Rings", and no, not in a good way because all 3 of these were overhyped but average at best or even worse.
It's kinda sad that in 2025 most fans can still be tricked by cute boys and kissing scenes.
8.1 is lowkey too low of a rating i think this should be like an 8.3 which isnβt even that high
There's no way in hell this drama deserve more than 6.0 let alone 8.0 rating with one of the worst writing. Most people only giving high rating because of the 2 main leads, but story wise, this was a mess, to say the least. It's basically "Lovely Runner", "Love Next Door" and "When the Phone Rings" 2.0.
Also, people don't understand what LOW means. 8.0+ rating is HIGH as hell. 6 and 7 is Average and Above-average. Below 6 is below-average and poor. It's just most Kdrama fans only know 3 ratings. 8, 9, and 10.
This Rookie Writer probably fell asleep half-time and had to ask ChatGPT to finish the script, because if that's not what happened, she should never get a job in this industry again.
this is why kdramas need to be 16 episodes again π
No, this is why a Kdrama needs a REAL WRITER. If this is 16 episodes, she would've just spent another 2 episodes on some other ridiculous nonsense. The last 2 episodes wasn't bad because it was shorter, it was bad because the writer is a rookie who grew up reading Twilight books, probably.π
If Netflix can't cast anyone with a past like that, they would never cast anyone. Every country k-lled millions…
Again, that's not what I said at all. If you don't want to understand, I don't want to argue about this anymore. My political views are way different than most people. That's why I hate arguing about politics.
If Netflix can't cast anyone with a past like that, they would never cast anyone. Every country k-lled millions…
If we don't judge a killer just because it was self-defense, the whole meaning is pointless.
In my eyes, the only victims are the ones who don't kill anyone. Leaders, and solders, aren't. Sure, some might argue, solders are forced to defend their country, BUT why we should celebrate something like that later and call it "Freedom"? At the end of the day people celebrate killing not freedom.
That's all I'm gonna say because this arguing is kind of pointless because no one's gonna agree with me and I know why.
I would rather kill myself than obey a leader who's not even fighting on the field with me.
If Netflix can't cast anyone with a past like that, they would never cast anyone. Every country k-lled millions…
I'm censoring my words because who knows if Mods gonna delete my comments.
I never said Japan is innocent or what others did will erase what Japan did.
I don't really care what people are praising tbh, but I'm not gonna boycott a show or anything because of that. Only hypocrite people do that. My granddad and great-granddad were also part of a War but no one can see me celebrating my countries so called "Freedom" every year, because I think it's hypocrisy and disgusting to celebrate something that was built on the blood of innocents.
I don't care about the reason. For me, killing is killing, and I don't care who started it and why.
And this is why I'm not judging this guy and others shouldn't do this either, especially if they celebrate their own relatives or just their country for what they did in a War. The fact is, every country does this, everyone have at least 1 "Freedom Celebration" every year.
Americans still celebrate Thanksgiving as a nice event.

K-lling is k-lling, simple as that. And if you think it's just "defense" you're naive.
Usually when 2 or more countries are in a War it's not random, and as I said, there's no such thing is someone building a country on love and peace.
Nazis k-lled millions of Jew, and now the same nation k-lling other people.
You can find articles stating that the Vatican never did anything wrong, yet they slaughtered more people than anyone in the past couple of 100s of years.
The further you go back, the more k-lling you can find.
"Unless your point is that if a country is unable to defend itself in the face of a prepared aggressor, then they deserve what's happening to them?"
That was never my point. I was talking about COUNTRIES, NOT INNOCENT CITIZENS. Big difference. Wars only happening because of the leaders. Citizens never had a choice, doesn't matter where they live. It's just some people might think there's nothing wrong with War and k-lling people. You can find people like that in every country. The two main Wars of the past 2-3 years are the prime example.
My main point was that judging this guy for the same thing millions of people celebrate the so called "freedom fighters" every year is hypocrisy.
Korean wouldn't say a thing if he's Korean and praising his Korean relative.
If Netflix can't cast anyone with a past like that, they would never cast anyone. Every country k-lled millions…
Yes, they did, you just need to learn history. Japan, China, Korea, America, UK, Germany etc killed millions of people to take over other people's home.
Also, I said, MOST countries, so please, read my comments properly before you wanna argue.
I couldn't care less about what my country did, btw, because It's not my fault, so I don't have to feel any guilt.
I'm not korean nor Japanese but I understand why this is upsetting for k-netz, it's a sensitive topic and he did…
If Netflix can't cast anyone with a past like that, they would never cast anyone. Every country k-lled millions of people. There's no difference between any country on this planet. Most countries were built on the bones of others.
Why people always acting as if their country never did bad things? I couldn't care less about what he thinks or said, I only want to see the drama. People who complain about this, they have no life and this is all they do.
On the plus side, she doesn't have a "glow-up" in this. ML just likes her and finds her pretty as she…
I mean, other than one line from the ML in the 1st EP he's okay, but he did call her bland or whatever he said, don't remember, but it wasn't as bad as what her ex said. I'm already afraid the writer gonna mess this up later with the loan-shark plot. Usually when they add too many plot-lines in a romcom it doesn't end well.
I couldn't care less about the Webtoon, but if you can't follow your own story properly, what's the point of writing something? This show was saved by the amazing performance of Kim You Jung.

The next sentence in the same comment: "Most countries were built on the bones of others."
It's really not that hard to understand, just basic English. The two sentence has two different meaning.
"not everyone says they respect murderers and feels proud that their country is built on the blood and tears of others"
Really? I'm pretty sure most countries celebrating their so called "freedom fighters" every year and all those "freedom fighters" are k-llers.
In War, there's no such thing as good and bad people, it's only people who k-lls and people who got k-lled. Simple as that.
Also, I said, MOST countries, so please, read my comments properly before you wanna argue.
I couldn't care less about what my country did, btw, because It's not my fault, so I don't have to feel any guilt.
