Is there anything noteworthy (eg:- furthering the plot) that has happened in Episodes 11 and 12? I've been so bored I haven't been able to finish Episode 11. Spoilers welcome. I'm looking for a reason to continue watching this.
one thing historic dramas gotta start to do is to give women center roles instead of just making them wives and…
If you haven't yet, watch Mr. Sunshine. The women are the best written you'll find in a historical drama. And they are the driving force in the story alongside the men.
Even with all the cliché kdrama moments, this has to be one of the better written dramas out there. The casting is amazing, the acting is impeccable, it's hilarious and heartwarming at the same time (I legit cried when they showed the scene with the twins and their personal umbrella holder). The characters have so much depth and each have their own journey. I'm only half way through but I really love this. I can't remember the last time I kept pushing back episodes because I didn't want a drama to end.
This show... What a roller coaster of an episode! I felt ALL the emotions. And how is this only episode 5???? I can't even imagine how the other episodes will be if episode 5 was this intense.
How?, They never made fun of his sexuality. just that the character was a ass bc of his personality not his sexual…
I thought the show made it pretty clear that Vincenzo was uncomfortable because the guy was someone who was part of those who treated his mother badly, and because my nature, Vincenzo is not the type to do touchy feely things at all. If anyone tries to hug him he ducks and runs, and refuses to touch most people. He cringes when people try to touch him unless they grow close first. - I guess... If Vincenzo was shown to be a person who was comfortable to physically show affection, then his reaction would have seemed homophobic to me, as opposed to uncomfortable.
I thought the same thing, until I realised they also make fun of all the heterosexual relationships too. They…
I get that. And you're right, it all depends on the eye of the beholder. If someone feels insulted because they feel like their sexual orientation is made fun of, then that means the topic wasn't handled properly.
Korean dramas only just started introducing same sex relationships in a way where the characters don't make fun of it (eg:- Sweet Munchies). At least the representation is there, but it will take a long time before they hit the right note and do the representation justice.
Ep. 8 my thoughts..."Son of a beach" typed by Jun Woo made me giggle under my noseI liked that in the end the…
I thought the same thing, until I realised they also make fun of all the heterosexual relationships too. They make fun of every relationship actually. There is no single relationship in the show not made fun of. It would have been out of place to treat one person seriously because of his sexuality when all the other characters are treated as a joke.
With the rainbow umbrella and the guy at the amusement park teasing them on being a cute couple, the writer showed ways on how normal it is to be gay. No one stared at them weirdly, and they were affectionate in public. I loved that! I had to remind myself that the guy is a dirtbag over and over because the scenes were so cute.
I also appreciated the fact that they made it a point to mention that dating violence happens to people regardless of gender.
I guess, for me, they didn't make fun of his sexuality. They made fun of a villainous douchebag by playing him for a fool.
What a hard watch this was. Started decently and went downhill with the flashback episodes. I guess, according to the show, no marriage is healthy? Marriage, by default, is full of cheaters and murderers. Anyways, this show lost me as a viewer. I won't be watching S2. I know they ended by saying it will 'exceed expectations', but that's a given considering how low my expectations are.
There are windows on both sides. If you look at the scene again, you will see that the laser only came from one…
Haha. Totally. Not to mention that no way could an uninterrupted laser go through a sheer white curtain (as shown in the scene with SH) to end up on the chest of the target. You need clear windows for that.
Alas, regardless of the small stuff, I'm enjoying this show more and more with each episode. It's definitely entertaining.
I could have handled two episodes MAX with the flashbacks regarding the mistresses. But this... This is just excessive. It adds nothing to the overall plot and tries to justify the extra marital affairs as romance. Yes, yes, I get it. Three women are in love with three dirtbags. Did we really need this many episodes to prove that point?
