Okay, watched the 1st EP, and it was good, BUT I really, really, really HATE this Kdrama trope when they say a female character is not pretty, because she's wearing "boring" clothes, then do this Cinderella glow-up and acting as if she wasn't one of the most beautiful human being before. This is the 21st century, and the fact that this was written by a woman makes it even worse.
I would jump from 10km into the Han River if Ahn Eunji just looks at me for a second, and they dare to call her ugly. WTF?
It's good, but repetitive, and the side characters are not that interesting, except the Princess and Gayoung. They were the comedic duo. The two main lead were great, but the 2nd part of the season was where it became really repetitive and bland. A lot of times the plot was weird and made no sense. I've had multiple problems with the writing, but overall it's still a good show with a decent ending.
It's okay, nothing special, a bit too long, they didn't even finished the main story, like at all, the so called villains didn't get any punishment, and the two main couple was off, the chemistry so-so, but the fact that he was flirting with her when she was 18 is a red flag.
It had some good parts, but overall it's your predictable bang average drama carried by Park Shinhye.
Hollywood, Kdrama are predictable, cliches, riddled with scenes that are inconceivable.LOTR, Rambo, Mission Impossible:…
This is a pretty bad argument. Just because this is a fiction, doesn't mean it's okay if the script is inconsistent and lazy, not to mention ridiculous. This is a romcom, not a fantasy, so yeah, this has to be realistic. I don't mind cliches, but I'm never gonna tolerate lazy writing, especially if the writer can't follow their own rules.
No one can realize he's not her husband, even tho they've seen a picture was already a big nonsense, not "Santa Claus". Also, her not getting any punishment for what she did is also ridiculous, it's not realistic.
I don't want to and I'm never gonna suspend critical thinking, because most people already done that, that's why the most boring, lazy written movies and shows are rated higher than it should be.
For some people a cute couple ois enough, but not for me. I don't expect much, especially from a romcom, but real life rules and law shouldn't be ignored.
Oh, Jung Somin, that sh-t that I have to go through because of you.
It's not bad, but not good either. Like, you literally have to turn off your brain to enjoy this. The writing is nonsense, the plot is ridiculous and irritating a lot of times. Especially the last episode.
Also, I'm so done with this "main characters have to know each other from the past" trope. It's so boring, honestly. The show wouldn't be any different without that.
The two main lead and some other side characters carried the show, but that's all. The adult baby and his family should've been removed from the show after the 6th episode.
My advice: Unless you really love Jung Somin or any of the actors, don't watch this if you can't turn off your critical brain. I don't know why so many Kdrama fans love to forgive or just ignore bad writing, but I'm not one of them.
I gave it a 6/10, because overall it's a lighthearted fun nonsense, but you won't miss much if you skip it.
Both are pathetic the groveling fans who praise her to the skies and the haters!
Blindfolded fans are not better than haters if they can't accept valid criticism. The critical thinking is dead these days, people give 10 for everything if their faves are in it. And I say this while she's one of my fave actress and I didn't finish the show yet, only watched the 1st episode but the main plot is already nonsense.
1st epode was okay, but the main plot is ridiculous. I would never date with someone who has the same name as my ex. Like, that's a massive red flag if someone does that. The whole thing with the house is just crazy. The ML doesn't look like some idiot who would commit crime for a house, especially because he's rich. I know this is just a romcom, but they should do the basics right.
She's also a smart woman yet doing the dumbest things. I hope this isn't just another dumb romcom sold with the 2 main lead.
Bang average with good actors and with really bad writing. Overdramatic and what's worse, it's overcomplicated for no reason whatsoever. Like, you don't have to give every character to have a past with the main villain. So many people died because of corrupt cops, and then they want to act in the finale as if they're nice guys. Like, piss off, seriously. The main villain's reveal was surprising because they never gave any hint about him, it was 100% random, out of nowhere.
The finale was just pure nonsense.
Don't waste your time, I only finished it because of Sooyoung. This drama should've been 12 episodes max!
My expectations are quite low because it seems like an ordinary and low-budget romcom, but the recently released…
I don't think the budget has anything to do with quality, tho. It's all about writing and good acting. It's not like ENA, and Genie TV put out bad dramas. They have a pretty good track record.
yeah its very frustrating. Even the drama Would you marry me is not showing in my region :( so i can already guess…
Exactly. Also, for a VPN to actually work properly, you need to pay for it. The free ones are useless. I get if they don't want to make it Global if another platform bought it too, but that's not the case.
Tbf, "Queen Mantis" is available on VIKI and Netflix too globally, so we might have a chance.
Clearly you don’t want to subscribe to anything but Netflix, but guess what more variety leads to better shows…
I have a subscription for every freakin' streaming platform: Netflix, Disney, Amazon, HBO, VIKI etc. That's why I'm angry. I could use torrent for free.
Why the hell should I pay for a VPN too if I'm already paying for Disney+? Bullshit argument! And as you can see, D+ isn't available everywhere.
What's the point of "variety" if it's only available in 30 countries? And no, more variety doesn't equal with better shows. Even before streaming, we've had 100s of TV channels and still have.
Also, I didn't make up any stats, those are the facts, do the research.

This is like those limited shoes or whatever, but with Kdramas.😂
