Mainly because the writer thinks using the villian plot is a good plot device sigh I did like the ending though…
The ending pissed me off honestly because there was 5% focus on the leads while the rest of the episode was side characters. I agree about the focus on making villains too powerful, it was ridiculous.
For a drama that started out so promising, the second half of this show turned out disappointing with the ending being so lacklustre, I forwarded half the episode. WHY build up so much chemistry btw the leads only for it to never pay off to its potential? I would have forgiven the terrible writing too due to the lead couple but we didn't even get a pay off after all the angst. KSH and KJW brought their A++ acting game to a story that started out so well only to turn into crazy villains, illogical soap opera, hospital visits, and every trope in drama book all thrown in together. That last episode left such a bad taste. This show is MAX 8 (the 1 point is for the acting, otherwise 7.)
Dropped because I lost interest due to the FL and the plot. The chinese version is better in acting and plot. The cases are better and more engaging. The ML acted well and were quite handsome in both dramas, The FL is better in the C-version. The FL in thai version is NOT portraying a snail. She was just being obnoxious, know-it-all and as others noted, just kept disobeying the rules of the entire department repeatedly. Also, why was she bug-eyed the entire time? The C-version the lead was smart and she made conclusions as a matter of fact rather than know-it all attitude of thai FL who KEPT raising her hand like she was in class. Also this FL is pretty but not so charismatic or drop-dead gorgeous that ML and multiple other guys were falling for her. Lastly, the running around in heels (probably bec of the height difference with the ML) was NOT realistic for someone in police.
I tried to like this as I am a fan of the ML but the FL is just so shockingly stupid, arrogant, and so full of…
I am on ep 17 and I would have to agree...If this was real police force, she would have been fired on Day 1. Just barging into Captain's room, telling him off, NOT listening at all, I was so confused why he KEPT letting her get away with it.
exactly don't know how , the audience is loving the love story of a cuckold ML who is in love with her sister-in…
That part was really disturbing to me. So they had a past, so what. The girl is still married to the brother. The ML should really respect that. The brother and the FL even made out which makes this even grosser. I am not sure how I was supposed to root for them.
Liked parts of this but other parts not so much. There was really no direction or straight storyline for this.…
Agreed...the lack of continuity was glaring and episodes were streeeetched without any plots where there could have been so much details about entertainment and drama industry that could have been thrown in for proper development
This show is a 7 for me ONLY bec of Ken + Anne otherwise it's a 6 or 6.5 max. It's basically a fanfiction about Ken Anne come to life. There is NO plot and all the actor appearances make it like you are having a dream and in your dream about the Thai industry ken Anne are together. The comedy and acting are too slapstick. I wanted a Ken Anne reunion and they still have the chemistry but I wish WISH that the intensity they can bring to scenes was properly utilized. Ken was cringy in certain scenes maybe bec it's supposed to be a comedy show but I wasn't a big fan and wish we could have had a serious drama reunion bec that's where I could see the real Anne and Ken. Sigh What it could have been.....
This drama started out strong and then somewhere along ep 20 it lost its way. No idea what happened to the chemistry of the lead couple from the beginning episodes. I don't even know if I can tell you when they got together. The focus on the business aspect at the end really stepped away from the chemistry of the characters which was the "heart" of the show. Lastly, the FL was so stubborn that I wanted to shake some sense into her bec her ego really was bigger than her love for the ML.
interesting theory re subtracting 1.5. lately the ratings on this site are not reliable at all
Oh yes I meant this for every show. I watched Kingland which I dropped because those readings were undeserved. I also watched my demon which I finished and it was OK but it was definitely not an over 8 show. I started marriage revenge and couldn’t get past episode two yet despite its high ratings
Plot? What plot? I was too mesmerized by the lead couple to notice anything. This is the kind of show that you can watch for the lead couple, their acting, personalities and push and pull. I do wish it had a longer ending to explain everything properly but overall binge watched. The fantasy world needed to be better explained though and took too long to start but I smiled through all the lead couple scenes so time well spent.
Thank you for explaining. I am familiar with the actors you mention so I now better understand what you mean.…
Yes, I agree. I have never watched a song kang show before and I have heard of the acting issues but strangely enough, they worked because he was playing this demon nonhuman character so his acting wasn’t much to criticize. But the rest is a show and the plot didn’t make sense.
I quite enjoyed the first half/two thirds, but far too much time was spent on them mooning over each other, complete…
Yes, when she decides to teach the family a lesson and episode three or was it or four I think I was like oh this show has potential and then it didn’t really do anything with all of that
MDL ratings make sense when you realise that people are not rating the drama but rather their obsession with the…
I imagine some fans are rating shows higher and lower than they should be and that’s really messing up with the ratings on this site. I also suspect it maybe that there are A lot of new K drama watchers and so they haven’t watched the breath of shows from years ago and consider this a great drama, but haven’t compared it to all the rest of the shows that are classics. I found the same issue with the readings for king the land, which is way way way too highly rated for the plot that it has.
