Finally someone mentioned this. I forgot to bring this scene up in my review, but the way I see it is it was glorifying…
Exactly! Arisu spent half the second season being severely depressed, unable to even get up from laying the ground, and the rest of time he was just wandering around aimlessly or just surviving due to both luck and others constantly risking themselves to save and protect him, mostly Usagi. Even during the whole fight against King of Spades others were getting shot, stabbed, and shit, and he basically did the easiest part and if it wasn't for Aguni the King of Spades wouldn't even get into that store to begin with. Aguni and Heiya saved him when the King of Spades almost killed him in the forest.
Against Queen of Spades, again Usagi did most of the job and convinced others to join them, then fought against the queen to protect him...etc with the Queen of Hearts she hurt herself to get him back from the psychological manipulation thing. At this point Usagi should be the MC instead lmao
Like Arisu didn't even come up with any actual smart plans to win the games, it was Chishiya handling the mind games and being both smart and wise.
Literally it's Chishiya and the girls (Usagi, Kuina, and Anna, even Queens of Spades and Hearts) who carried this show along with the brilliantly written and hot looking Kyuuma/King of Clubs who although wasn't a main character but still left a strong impact with his ideology.
Even Hatter was quite interesting for some time to me and the King of Diamonds character was good too, while Arisu existed just because. I don't hate Arisu, but the fact that he is the MC and everyone where obsessed with him and totally relied on him while he didn't 100% deserve it pissed me off a bit.
Okay so:1- I can't bring myself to ship the two leads at all. I love Jaehyun, he did great job, especially since…
Oh, Happy New Year! :)
Am also tired of high school romance stuff this is why I enjoyed Dear.M in a way since for a change it was about college life instead (Though it was more on the fluff side), and I didn't know about this Be My Boyfriend drama actually, but since I see Byeong Kwan (A member of the boy group A.C.E is acting in it and I love that group) I will check it out for sure, thanks for the recommendation!
I honestly hated shooting stars, I like both the lead actors in it, but I hated the drama itself and most of the characters lmao
I have three episodes to go in this second series, but wanted to comment about the first three episodes ... it…
Very well said, I also loved his character, he was brilliantly written (And I obviously loved his body too lmao he is so hot I was going crazy and the hairstyle fit his face perfectly, even his voice was sexy).
i agree, i think if it actually ended any of the ways mira was messing with them about, it would have been extremely…
Same, I like this realistic ending and it had a very deep message behind it. Glad the two psychos dudes from the prison game Chishiya played basically decided to die lmao
I'm sick of that plot when SML wait years to confession to FL but start rushing when he see her develop feelings…
Or when the ML who is the FL's childhood friend discovers that has feelings for FL only after she falls for SML or any random dude, and then ML goes batshit crazy with jealousy out of the blue and decides to chase her ass like a hunter even though he never showed any romantic interest in her before or didn't bother to confess if he realized he liked her since years lmao
Also the whole Dojin buying a ring thing...was he planning to propose or something?! They ain't even dating and Song made it clear she is into the ML, so the ring thing was a bit too sudden. Like the girl likes the Jindo dog, what is Dojin expecting as a response from her to his feelings?! She clearly sees him as an older brother or something of the sort.
Surprisingly I don't mind the romance since I like the main characters, but I actually would prefer it if Song ends up with ML and Dojin just viewed her as a sister figure instead of the love triangle plot. I just hope the second season won't heavily focus on the love triangle bullshit, and they will focus more on the cases stuff like this season.
Finally someone mentioned this. I forgot to bring this scene up in my review, but the way I see it is it was glorifying…
I agree with you honestly. Most of female characters seemed stronger than the male characters in first season and they all knew how to use both their physical and mental abilities to kick ass, but this season they are just...lacking to say the least. I guess they wanted to give the male characters the most attention? Especially Arisu by constantly making others rely on him, when he is most unreliable character in the whole show honestly. Chishiya is way better and far smarter than him seriously. Heck even the king of clubs (Was his name Kuma? or something like that?) would make a much more interesting MC than Arisu.
I also kinda hated Heiya's character, like why make her basically a rude teen slut?! She tries to sexually assault Arisu and then chases after Aguni who should be viewed as an uncle figure at best to her, and that scene in season one with Niragi licking Usagi...etc was just gross as hell, and now they decided to repeat it again just because?!
sort of, the manga actually explains who the joker is and the reason the games exist in the borderlands. so i…
Who is the joker? and what is the reason? Can you spoil? I really want to know and I probably won't bother reading the manga lmao and I honestly don't care about being spoiled even if I do end up deciding to read it in future.
Okay so:1- I can't bring myself to ship the two leads at all. I love Jaehyun, he did great job, especially since…
Sorry for late reply, I just got online and I wrote a whole essay I know lmao thanks for bothering to read some of it, and am glad my comment was helpful. Yeah I also can't handle childish FL characters, but to be fair some of the other characters were highly likeable, and there were some nice elements about the drama which is why I still gave it a high rating. The thing that bothered me the most was the FL though, and I wasn't a fan of the leads honestly. So if one day you're so bored and have nothing better to watch you can still check it out.
Nice story, a welcome change from super rich chaebol heirs, but it left me somehow sad and frustrated - is Korea…
That's how Asia like, they are more on the conservative side. It's normal for them to not have sex or stuff of the sort until months later of dating even if they are adults and they also don't rush to go to each other houses even if they live alone (Not with their parents/family I mean), according to what I heard in a video talking about this exact topic before, it's because many of them date in hope to start a serious relationship that could lead to marriage in future and that's why they prefer to take their time to develop proper feelings before reaching the lust part.
Even when it comes to their sex education, it's more on the mild side compared to USA and Europe and the way females are viewed in Asia is a bit old minded (As in they mostly are not really viewed positively if they behave in a liberate non docile manner and be honest about their desires...same with guys kinda since they will worry about being viewed as perverts and creeps by women) so yeah, most Asian shows won't have heavy sexual scenes unless you search for the mature genre, and even their mature movies and shows that do include sex scenes and mature subjects aren't really that explicit compared to western ones honestly lol they don't talk openly about sex and the entertainment industry is heavily monitored by the public so the celebrities and shows could easily get cancelled for the stupidest reasons sometimes not gonna lie.
To you it might be weird but that's one of the greatest reasons I prefer Asian shows over western ones, I think mostly focusing on feelings rather than sexual content is much better and way more romantic. It doesn't matter if the main leads don't have a sex scene or even a kiss scene by the end of a drama, as long as they have chemistry and their moments together are great then it's good enough for me. Especially when western shows tend to rush the sex/one night stands in the beginning and then bother remembering that some feelings should exist as well.
I said the exact same things you said and did also mention that I loved Semantic Error meanwhile I don't like…
Honestly when I read review I never bother with the high rating ones, I always check out the ones with lowest ratings because lots of times they help me truly realize if a drama will be enjoyable to me or not when the ones writing them mention the negative things about the plot and characters.
Like for example if they mention a very annoying love triangle, awful FL character, overly rushed ending, medicore acting...etc I most of the time just don't watch the drama lol
While the high rating reviews are mostly written by people who are a hardcore fans of the actors or whatever so their judgment gets clouded by their obsession.
And yes when I tell others that I have all rights to tell my opinion since this is why this website was created in first place they all just start grumbling lmao
I said the exact same things you said and did also mention that I loved Semantic Error meanwhile I don't like…
Oh, that happened to me tons of times, I have even got cursed and called awful stuff (Some would even go as far as telling me to die, kill myself...etc over a stupid show) but I never stop lmao I don't care how popular and great others believe a show is, if I see flaws I will address them, I won't ask others to forcibly agree with me or change their taste to please me, but I also have the right to share my honest opinion and talk about what bothers me, even if it somehow makes me harsh or an enemy/hater figure to in their eyes. If others dislike shows that I like, I accept it too, cause that's their right.
Same will happen in Kpop fandoms, you dislike a certain song or don't become a stan of some group without hating on them or anything, just try to mind your own business and yet they will decide to crucify you online cause you don't allow them to control your mindset like a freaking cult.
Them acting that way over a show just shows how mentally ill they are being, cause no matter how much you like a show, song, band or whatever you should never go that far to defend it/them, you can argue and exchange opinions, or try to fix misunderstandings, but not insult someone personally and be utterly cruel and disrespectful.
Against Queen of Spades, again Usagi did most of the job and convinced others to join them, then fought against the queen to protect him...etc with the Queen of Hearts she hurt herself to get him back from the psychological manipulation thing. At this point Usagi should be the MC instead lmao
