But even considering that... Isn't she way too much? Like cmon FL is 35, not 15-18 yo
I agree. It's horrible, but the good news is that they are a dying breed. As women become working mothers, they become less like the FL's mother. So the culture is changing, luckily. As for the women who put their entire self-worth on their children's shoulders, this is textbook behaviour. It's all about who their child marries, and what they achieve and what their grandkids achieve just to boast about it. They consider that itself to be a happy marriage, regardless if the spouse cheats or is abusive.

Sadly, I know people exactly like the mother. They treat their grown ass children (sometimes they are 40 years old), as babies. And yes, they are too much. But they are also stubborn, believe their way is the only way and will ruin their own kid's life to be proven right. The mother is super realistic in the Asian culture.
As always… people comment and rate based on *IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE* 🥴 It doesn’t make sense to you because…
This is one of those, 'if you know, you know, if you don't know, you won't get it' dramas. The understanding and enjoyment of the drama directly correlates to your knowledge of the world, extremists movements and new age religions.
You would be siding against the critics, rather than with them.The negative reviews are there because the drama…
We are living in this world, sadly. Have you seen the new age religions that have come up in the world recently? People have created their own religions, call themselves prophets and live in mansions. They own several jets so they can "spread the word faster". - I saw this on a news programme in the US where a millionaire prophet was whining that he only had two private jets that takes him too long to travel from one end of the country to another so he was in the process of purchasing a new one for longer flights.
In my own country, there is someone who promises gold will be delivered if they have faith. Faith = spreading his word via building a giant stadium for his "church". And... As per the website, the amount you donate is equal to the tier of heaven you will be allowed to once you die.
The webtoon and drama by extension is a direct hit at these kinds of new age religions as well as focusing on the narrative of "What if the extremists were the majority, not the minority?"
And by critics, I meant the ones for rotten tomatoes.
It was in development hell due to a covid break which literally destroyed the project, that's why it after 3 eps…
By half the cast, do you mean Yoo Ah In and Yang Ik Jun? I thought it was obvious that Yoo Ah In will be coming back in Season 2 based on the ending of Season 1. As for CGI, nothing beats the awful CGI of Sweet Home for me. This was passable comparatively.
we might not reach 30k comments after the series ends but im sure we can reach 25k :)))
I'm curious. Why does the number of comments matter? I've noticed that the dramas with the highest number of comments (Eg:- Start Up). is mostly littered with ship wars and negative rants.
I honestly don't get the negative reviews. I find myself siding with the critics here. This entire show is a narrative on manipulation, extremism and hypocrisy, and damn, it's scary how accurate it is.
It's a dystopian world with a fantasy twist, and just like The Handmaid's Tale, The Walking Dead, Train to Busan, Don't Look Up etc., it's all about how people handle the situation given, rather than the situation itself.
So that they can get the people's sympathy and sympathy votes and also deflect people from the news going around…
Most politicians like to create an enemy (most of the time a terrorist movement) to bring the nation together to vote the way they want them to do. As shown in history, creating an enemy is the best way to get votes. Governments have done this in the past against communists, and in the present, against immigrants. Create a unified enemy, and you unify your country so the popular vote wins.
It's sad, but most governments rarely if ever care about their people. They are just voters they need to convince before they do what they want.
The weirdest thing about this show (besides the bad script, the bad pacing and the bad direction) is how all the supporting characters are played naturally while the two main actors (and ML's mother) are robots... in their... delivery... of words... with all the... pauses... that are so... maddening.
is there anyone here whom it's their first time to watch a sageuk?? my friend wants to watch it bc i keep tweeting…
I think dramas like Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung and 100 Days My Prince is great as an introduction before going into more serious dramas like Haechi and The Crowned Clown. The Red Sleeve is better for those who know what to expect from a sageuk.
