Not for me sorry, a total miss. I started watching and by ep 4 I cannot stand the cheesiness, the shouting. the…
Don't forget the crying.
Replying to GoodRick Dec 25, 2023
Is this good and worth watching? Honest responses only please.
Do you like typical soap operas? If so, go for it. Otherwise, it's 'thank you, next!'
Replying to Daffodils Dec 25, 2023
This is not for me, I reached episode 4 and I cannot stand more repetitive flashback (how many times do we have…
Same.

To your penultimate question on whether there is something redeemable, you will just have to wait until the last episode to find out. Because so far, there is none. It's meh.
On My Demon Dec 25, 2023
Title My Demon
My Demon is so cliché-y that it is one cheesy dialog short of cringey! But it's so unapologetic in its mawkish romanticism that I could actually get behind it.

I mean, "you are my fate that I cannot deny,' has to be the corniest line ever. But it works; it has heart, and it has humor, and much to my astonishment, I found myself rooting for Do Hee and Gu Won.

My Demon does not pretend to be anything other than a silly romcom, so if one does not watch it through an intellectual lens (it never claimed to be an 'Oppenheimer' in the first place), then it's actually an enjoyable watch during the lazy holidays.

It's one of the favorite Kdrama tropes, FL in pain and crying, ML coddling FL....it's literally the most used…
Correct.and Yongpil is the worst of them all.
Replying to Lady Bellatrix Lestrange Dec 25, 2023
I completely agree with the points you outlined here @yoohp.
Actually, I did write a few things, but that's besides the point. Or that anyone on MDL owes you an explanation.

Also, you are not the authority on this KDrama. Get over yourself. Everyone is entitled to their own views.

I really like this drama but yet again, the writers can't write an interesting second female lead character. Jin…
Your take on Jin Ga Young is on point. She serves no other purpose other than be an antagonist, as though there was a checklist for a KDrama plot and she was item no 3. That’s just lazy writing.

Go back to Azkaban
@mirkwoodself Well I love to do just that: go back to Azkaban, if that would help me get back the time I wasted watching this drama.
Replying to ElektrionHeart Dec 25, 2023
Its a good drama now that they are no longer talking about her “scandal”. That was poorly handled.But it still…
I wanted to point out the same thing! That scandal was, to use your words, handled poorly.

And no, I dont see how this is a healing drama. I think the flimsy plot hides behind that label 'healing drama.'
Replying to Damness Dec 25, 2023
is it just me or is anyone else getting alittle bored of the plot...?
It was all downhill after episode 1. FL went from sassy to sappy.
Replying to yoohp Dec 25, 2023
Dropped this right away. So no one's gonna ask how FL became a modern woman within 2-3 months after being transported…
I completely agree with the points you outlined here @yoohp.

It's one of the favorite Kdrama tropes, FL in pain and crying, ML coddling FL....it's literally the most used…
Not arguing with that, but then there's comfort and there's coddling. ML's devotion to the FL in WTS is a tad too much. He should spend some of that energy doing something with his life. He's cute and compassionate, but he strikes me as a rocket that failed to launch.
On Welcome to Samdal-ri Dec 25, 2023
I've had it with Samdal's crying and Yongpil's constant coddling of Samdal. It's getting ridiculous. They should rename this drama to Welcome to Sobbing-ri.
Replying to GongjinLife Dec 25, 2023
I'm waiting until all the episodes are out but how is it compared to Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha so far?
Personally, I found Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha much more enjoyable! Both have excellent ML and FL, I would say. Cinematography, roughly the same, but in terms of pacing, and ML and FL chemistry, WTS and HCCC are oceans apart. WTS storytelling is flimsy and relies solely on cinematography and the FL's unbelievable ability to burst into tears. The ML is forgettable (JCW is charming, but the material given to him is meh).
Replying to rozzzol Dec 25, 2023
Before someone comes for me and copy pastes the same epistle about how this isn't a revenge drama, how is it that…
For what it's worth, I share your thoughts @rozzzol. The FL started out really strong, and then one setback (albeit a terrible one), and she's reduced to a snowflake. I'm done with the endless whining and wailing.
Replying to ggululuu Dec 24, 2023
More invested in her sisters' lovelives.
They're far more interesting characters ngl
On Welcome to Samdal-ri Dec 24, 2023
Read this in Chandler's tone: Can she do anymore sobbing? I mean seriously, enough with the self-pity party. It's getting old. The FL can cry, I get it. Now, let's get the story moving.
On Nevertheless, Dec 24, 2023
This is a lesson in visual arts trickery. Two beautiful leads with excellent chemistry, and an amateurish narrative. Good looks cannot save a whimsical plot.

That was awfully nice of them to end episode 10 that way. It could have been a cliffhanger! But all this lovey-dovey stuff tells me doomsday is coming.
