VIII

You know what i constantly get from this drama? We have Park Hae Young’s at home. The comparisons are valid for once so I’m satisfied on that alone, cheers. Not sure how long I’ll hang. Definitely won’t be a weekly tune in.

On MdL high scores means red flags lol. At least to a critical eye.Relatively high are good signs. Though i do agree this series has some shortcomings so far and in general shouldn’t be rated higher solely because of ratings other dramas have. 8.2 is fair.

Maybe it’s just my bootleg eye but I can’t seem to uh, dislike the filter here. Even the cheap resolution of the flashbacks are oddly satisfying.

Fret not, you get 10+ hours of gameplay with Xiao Han including dlc announced.

My taste and hers differ alot but that what makes two picky watchers with similar gripes blend so damn well imo. Titles like this many want to dive deep into with thoughts while others would simply want to express their enjoyment and recommend others vaguely. I’m the latter as well and most likely will try to fight the urge to write on it once I’m finished to save the struggle after the delicate mindf#cking from this series, a relief to see a similar style of review. Your migraine is appreciated .

An easygoing and direct review, exactly what’s needed with a show as heavy and layered as this. I too blow steam out of my ears with anything retaining to physics. Here the raw mystery, stunning camera work,and thrill of it all makes the occasional headbutt very worth it. Avenuex is my go-to with any Cdrama I’m considering and love when she’s referenced and/or given recognition.

I’d second the expanse , haven’t watched yet but seen enough trailers and snippets to say it’s a proper start. My favorite western sci fi so far is Westworld though without a doubt. Worth looking into as well.

Nice to see Cdramas starting to expand their creativity within genres, regardless of it being an adaption I’m sure sliding pass censorship with something as bold as this is no easy feat. Slowly but surely it’ll catch up with other countries in wide ranges of entertainment. Trailer gave me chills, might dive in immediately since we’re blessed with China’s speed of releases.

Why am i just now realizing how much of a powerhouse Kim Won Suk has been.. can’t be too sure of this project since the writer hasn’t made anything of my interest but definitely keeping my eyes on it nonetheless

Not gonna lie, only thing keeps turning me away from this series are the swarming comments and reviews of “My childhood” “First drama I” “so nostalgic!!”. A red flag, I prefer to know how fine dramas aged, not the rememberance . Eh, I’ll get the urge sooner or later.

So, without the cheap spoilers... a cop and a decent guy who turns into a gangster.

You ever get this feeling that you’re supposed to be way more knowledgeable and wittier than you actually are? Like a modern Shakespeare stuck inside of a dumbass? I look back at my writing and see the potential that has so much room for improvement but lack literature experience to know where to start revising. Random Ik, that also says how satisfying it is an actual writer has appreciation for it. Taking many courses soon and hope some will stick around and bare witness to my improvement. Appreciate the encouragement! Definitely will.

Preciate it! I’m very particular with recs Madam. I’d be lying if i were to swear to you up and down the FL there wouldn’t piss you(specifically) the hell off a few times. But, and no offense ,you’ve watched and stomached that goofy ass Rookie Agent Rogue and I wager it’ll raise your standards on espionage cdramas much higher than whatever it is now😶. Give The Rebel a go whenever and curse me out for my choice of words later.

*your argument. I don’t dabble into immature and ignorant arguments with those clearly too young physically and/or mentally to hold a proper one, simply correct and make fun of here and there. No further entertaining from me though, stay blessed.

... someone telling you to feel free to shit on the drama but don’t advise others to not waste their time on something you personally found boring while the majority didn’t, suddenly means that I’m “mad” that the drama is bad to you? Kid please calm down lol, for one i dropped this series long before you even tried it out so me being mad makes no sense. Read what’s being said instead of looking for an immature argument to have, it won’t be here. Should’ve looked at your profile beforehand, that alone explains the nonsense, my bad. Enjoy your day though!

This is where comprehension skills could’ve worked in your favor, oh well. If it was based on your viewpoint it doesn’t make sense to toss them onto others as if it’d be a waste of their time as well. That’s all it is , yours. “Other than that, shit away.”

Wouldn’t be advising others to not watch something the majority are praising heavily. Especially not with the opinion that it’s boring. If subjectivity had a peak that opinion would be it. Other than that, shit away.

The bold rationality in your thoughts can be seen as idealistic to people that aren’t as critical or don’t pay these aspects any mind, and woke to those that don’t even know the grounds of your argument but saw women thrown in there more than once and googled misogyny. What you’re practically disgusted at is(to dumb down) character inconsistency and plot devices. I’m a simple man, the likes of a silly trailer and a comedy tag in the first season turned me away. Had i been interested in this series regardless of that I’m sure i would be bantering the same unpopular opinion as yours, just at the level of a 5th grader. Catered characterization is such an obvious lazy route in writing. I’m still horrified by the fact one can tell the writers are aware of what they’re doing, but they know it’ll be deemed acceptable by the majority anyway so why work harder? Hell, what am i even doing here? Your perspectives are unflinching no matter if it attracts the opposition of others so it bares my attention.

I’d say many of us, not saying you, dislike revenge themes because most dramas that includes it holds no substance past that one aspect. Rather it’s contrived sequences, lazy characterizations, lack of originality and/or realism,etc. This is 1/100 revenge dramas that actually put the effort into everything delivered. What fell flat for me was also the drag and the ..rubbery(?) ending. Putting everything on the line just to still linger around felt like the writers decided last minute to appease the general audience.

Yeah to see the masterpieces Record of Youth and Heirs tarnished like this left me utterly bewildered smh.No problem!
