How come you were that generous with your rating then? I'll give it maybe 3. Still 2 eps left for me. I spoiled myself for my own good XD Hower I've to disagree on this one: "a rich guy throwing a tantrum because a woman walked out of his bedroom " I didn't see that was his motive. He was flustered, confused why she left without a note or anything, only saw her running frantically and we can stick to what he had said that he was worried. On top of that we know he felt that ridiculous agitation after their kiss (that's another story actually). I haven't noticed any "a female dared to leave my bed not giving me..." vibe, which would've thrown me out of window.
this was the reality of that time period, so realistic i don't know what you're confused about here
I know that. Yet if we want to bring reality up her so such couples wouldn't be THAT awkward too. As well as so self-conscious and minding every little thing. More like "do what has to be done" and each party focusing on their chores.
I'm not "confused" ab anything here. I merely said it was unpleasant to watch for me.
I think it's for the younger viewers - note: nothing wrong with that. Prettified to the maximum. Like: perfect make-ups, intricate hairstyles with accessories and ribbons and new sets of beautiful clothes while ungenerous traveling for months. Really? Personally those eye make-ups creating the illusion of eyes-taking-half-of-the-face are disturbing. But that's one thing. The second is kinda flat script. I'm not a fan of transmigration in a book trope. At first the system was very present, but later almost none, to come back at the end ofc. And what exactly happens whe the heroine changes the story? The book changes too? The core story was rather weak. From one event to another to check the cliches off. I don't know if Ding Yu Xi was said to act like this or if it was his own creation, but him taking up the pose "I'm the badass" with askance look ALL THE TIME (maybe near the end less) was ridiculous. Also that very badass acts like a little puppy at every occasion. Aw, you're super close💘you'll help me?💘 you're not afraid of me?💘💘💘 Looking like a puppy can be both a good thing and a bad thing tho. That's the case here😉
People seem to dislike the ending. However, after forwarding *ascending mount everest* (boring and stupid, and boring) I quite liked it😀 The very very end.
Visually absolutely stunning. No doubt. The effects, the takes, the colours etc.A horror? I wouldn't say so, it…
I didn't get why and how he came back to life. Actually it looked like he ended as akgwi and as one revived(?), re-entered(?) his dead body? Any one know?
Visually absolutely stunning. No doubt. The effects, the takes, the colours etc. A horror? I wouldn't say so, it wasn't scary, not in the least. The plot. Not many threads, but the drama is short, so one can live with that. The problem is constantly going back and forth, who killed whom; I'll save you; no, I'll save you; no, no I will... Esp with the saving it felt way over the top. The ending was a little... ~spoiler~
Surprisingly good. I didn't have much expectations. At the beginning those cliches almost made me drop and I felt bad for Yi Hyeok Su that he had to act like this.
BUT! The drama makers really justified using those cliches and the show had stopped being boring. The actors did a great job. Personally I wish Mi Rae was less expressive. For side characters I'm fond of her hilarious friend and Yun Song writer. A small flaw in my opinion was making Gyeong Nam act too much like those generated boyfriends XD Still it was only a little over the line. Ideally he should've been more different from them. But OK, dramaland. The male lead POV was much appreciated.
I squirmed internally at perfect and immoral marketing of the game. They acquire tons of very sensitive and personal data. They even make messages system and phone calls(!). Imagine how much it would mess one's brain. A superb game crawling into your world. All of the secrets that would be shared in the game when users would think they only talk to the machine - same as with AI chats these days XD On the spot.
To summarise it wasn't too shallow or too deep. Definitely enjoyable. The concept of virtual reality is very timely and actually the show made me think (it's not only based on the drama thoXD) that we don't like the real world so much that we created a virtual one. And only if we could we all would chose to stay there. When it's promoted widely, that will truly the last generation :)
Not really. If we replace the female for male the game wouldn't be about eating fancy dinners, chosing dresses…
And why would she be called "cute" when it's clearly perverted and stalker? Maybe I don't watch shit like this, where it's shown this way. Or maybe you're making up stuff ;) In a "typical drama" it's the male lead who might act pushy or taking advantage of his position/money - I've never seen anyone call that "cute". Probably "hot" could appear if anything XD
You get called a perv, sick and disgusting for a reason.
Replace the female with male and everyone will tell you how much male are perverted, trash, nerd, sick on the…
Not really. If we replace the female for male the game wouldn't be about eating fancy dinners, chosing dresses and accessories, touching hands and at most a kiss on the beach🤷🏻♀️
I don't know, I watched only the 1st ep and it was rather sad. Natsumi being thrown into a marriage and their mutual discomfort/awkwardness/strong stress being around each other as a husband and a wife. I'm aware it'll get better and all but for now it was unpleasant to watch for the majority of time. A little comedy didn't help. Thus dropping.
I agree that the more BLs are released, the worse quality they have. To me, the golden era ended with To My Shore;…
On the spot. It's not like I can't enjoy an obsession arch too. But it's actually harder to write and show for it to work out. Yet it looks (too) many (screen)writers and other authors chose it to stir up an emotional response in the audience. Even if they criticise it they'll come back for more dopamine shots.
Too awful. Being on the 4th it's still hard to watch💀
1. Huge differance in appearances: Lu Feng looks like 30 yo man (so as irl), while Xiao Chen could pass as a late teenager... It's cringey.
2. Coerion. Bc of the above it's esp hard to watch. Some of drama makers are thinking it's hot? We're watching jumping from one force courting scene to another with nothing much in between and for some unknown reason Xiao Chen's behaviour switches towards him🤷🏻♀️ Their first night together were rather repulsive and after the morning scene it started to have murderous thought ab Lu Cheng.
3. Lack of logic. The characters' actions don't have to be the most common but at least give us a logical sequence. If the character is toxic - let be it - but don't make him a brainless sack of muscles.
4. A lot of fake tears☠️
I don't know if I grew older and started to notice such traits more and be more annoyed by them or if it's become worse. That "the industry" detected BL as a gold mine and makes one BL-drama after another, showing sequentially romantic entourage / cliche scenes without building the whole story. It's no fun when one is obssessed and treats the other like shit (remember the sexual harassment in the dorm?) while the said other agrees to everything, suffer constantly and is timid.
I came here after watching Love Game and almost couldn't recognise Ding Yu Xi. The power of make-up, truely. It also looks like he was much skinnier in 2021, looked gaunt to me then - sorry. Funny thing that as I'm on the 4th ep I deem his acting skills were better in Moonlight. Yet I'm thinking ab dropping. Manager Miao is just ridiculously repulsive and no one says anything (or barely anything) to him. Favouritism is one real thing but his explanations and ideas? Just stupid. I mean shortening the internship because he thinks it's better; the intern got 30 days trial to seal the deal, didn't make it in 15 days, so let's end the internship... Yu Yao also seems more like his pushover, while being above him.
However the core reason for me is Zhou Chuan writing to Chu Li at the same time as Mr Fox and interacting IRL as himself. Asking online ab their real life encounters, giving advices while she's sharing her thoughts totally unaware he's the same person, thinking she's speaking with her penpal friend for 3 years... It's just creepy to me.
Such a messy ending! Last few episodes were not even worth 2X speed! It went down, the main trope was set aside…
I wonder why it's so hard to give a proper ending😅 They tend to become draggy, highlighting boring parts... I's struggling here on the 30th ep. Better to do smth while watching.
Ok, it seems funny and entertaining, however after watching the trailer/pilot it feels like it covered 97% of the plot?😂 I know ANYone would expect what's going to happen (and be right) but after watching a summary like this at least I'm a bit discouraged to watch the drama...
