I am definitely an Emotional reviewer. I need all my feelings to be put out there so I can fully get over a show…
will check out your channel. I used to watch drama reviews on YT but many were spoiler laden and ruined the dramas for me so I gave up. I like video format because I get tired of reading!
I'm a member of the "spoiler police". If an article is a spoiler, or contains spoilers, as long as it is marked in the title SPOILER ALERT then I think that is enough warning .
Also, I really LOVE the reviews at MDL, I read them to learn about new dramas to possibly queue up or sometimes skip.
I would like to give a big Thank You to reviewers, it takes guts and also hard work to write and put up for all to see, and for sometimes to be criticized. I hope people will give newbie reviewers encouragement. Some reviewers even say, this is my first review, which lets you know they worry that they're doing a good "job". Reviews are a real gift to MDL readers.
I think it's ok to criticize a drama, that won't necessarily stop me from watching it depending on the criticism. I watch some trash dramas sometimes.
Sometimes I think people don't realize what elements belong in a review and accidentally spoil it when their intentions were good. Like someone else here said, a review shouldn't be a wikipedia article.
Just finished it. I marathoned it. One of the best Thai dramas I've seen, as far as plot/acting/production quality. I loved every minute. It was different from anything I've seen, and my gosh Pong has gotten way more handsome.
I loved Mo Nan and wish his plot line had gone differently. He's a very attractive bad/good guy. And good acting. Maybe he'll be in some more dramas later.
There is a "recap" category that articles can be filed under when you submit them, but I considered this to fit…
I'll be sure to save this for later. I've anticipated this drama so much I'm actually waiting till all eps are available, going to marathon it. So thanks for your hard work.
Glad you gave spoiler warning. I won't be reading this. → Maybe MDL needs to call some articles "Recaps" so that folks know - this is going to tell you what happens. As opposed to reviews that tell you why you want to watch a drama, without spoiling it.
and a "friendly pointer" for your critique: Instead of "lacks some substance" a positive criticism or better yet…
I don't usually write that way but decided to mirror your words to you. When someone takes the trouble to write an article for MDL, it is for our benefit. That person had to put time and energy plus work up the courage to do this. They deserve our appreciation and encouragement. I think the critics should write articles and show us how they should be done.
Overall, it's a nice article, but it doesn't really dive into the reasons. In short, it lacks some substance.…
and a "friendly pointer" for your critique: Instead of "lacks some substance" a positive criticism or better yet not criticism would be to say "needs fleshed out more."
Good topic. I do find kdramas inspiring. I've always identified with the underdog and I think that is a common theme in many of these dramas. Also, I find kdramas creative, refreshing and interesting - unlike US TV, kdramas are more modest and way less graphic. Usually there are real relationships built before there is intimacy and the intimacy will only be hinted at. Most Kdramas tell a story and maybe even teach a lesson, and while there are many fluff dramas, they are entertaining too, a mental break. Even better, a Kdrama comedy will make you both laugh and cry, that's pretty cool.

I almost never watch US tv now.
Too many I never got to finish.
I've re-watched this drama many many times.
