I don't know why but I'm agonizing. I really want to watch this drama, I don't think it's crap, yet it totally fails to spark my interest😅 I watch 1ep for 2-3 daysXD Maybe Zhang Zhe Xu doesn't fit this role (imo)? Maybe the plot is stripped-down? Not sure, but the 5th ep awaits me and I will finish this drama!
Nah, just because it's not your cup of tea doesn't make this drama "ridiculously overrated". This drama…
Relax, I've only shared my opinion and I know when I don't like smth bc it's "not my cup" or for other reasons. You've missed "HERE", it's ridiculously overrated HERE. OK, I could admit for someone it might sound like I meant smth around 4 - which is not the case. Maybe I got dragged by general overemphasising in the cyber world ;) 7 < 8 would be fair. Definitely rushed ending with quick killings didn't help. Do you know why it got cut? And it's not the case of "not being my cup" bc I like historical, political and not focused on romance dramas. It just doesn't mean I have to be a fan of every single one like this, right? There were no big mysteries, everyone's goals were revealed. I'm not sure what ab the acting bc in general it's decent, at some points even great, but there were also moments when it felt off, artificial. Sporadically though.
Lastly, on MDL there's a problem with rating bc ppl can rate even before the drama ends which quite often leads the rating to skyrocket. And seeing almost 9 I think: wow, it has to be great, night marathoning type and worth rewatching. The Prisoner of Beauty has no rewatch value for me.
Quite OK, but ridiculously overrated here😱 When I see many ppl commenting they've loved it while skipping some parts they didn't care about, I get the idea why it's almost 9 starts😅 It'd be 6,5 from me, but rate it as 6 for balance.
Nothing superb, Manman's voice was irritating me for the whole 36 eps. She was half-whispering ALL THE TIME. The only thing I really liked is how slowly supportive they were to each other, overcoming the past grudge, reaching the point of mutual trust at the end🧡
yes, but this one is an exception. cause the whole voice cast is korean, plus is linked to kpop and kactors
A very stupid exception. I remember wanting to add a movie with Asian cast - sorry I forgot the title^^" I only know I had strong belief it should be on this site. But the production was from a country MDL hadn't accepted. I swear I'll be thinking hard to recall the title to be more specific🙏🏻
That hit hard...Another great, touching Korean show, however I vowed if they *spoiler* again, I won't watch another…
...if they'll kill an important character and make it emotional roller for a long time. I get that ppl die, esp when they're older, but I don't want to see it as core point in EVERY Korean series*💀 *every that's not flat as a disk, only ab romance, without even comedy.
That hit hard... Another great, touching Korean show, however I vowed if they *spoiler* again, I won't watch another Korean drama in this year. And AGAIN there's was no tag for it, while in general there're many various tags on this site, that at some point it's spoilering.
And I'm not watching more Korean shows in 2025 💀
P.S. Also, I think "healing" tag doesn't fit here. I've seen healing dramas, bitter-sweet etc. but after watching this, I'm not healed at all.
I feel wheezythew8ve😅 Some interpunction might've helped. Nonetheless why do hate rookie actors? Every one has to start, at some point. I like to see new faces not the same ones all the time.
That was great! Better than I've expected. Sure there're religious references, therefore if someone feels uncomfortable with that, might want to skip this title. IMO there was no disrespectability. I just notice it is or becomes to be a trend in Korean fantasy to put "satan" as the male lead - is that supposed to be a new CEO or smth?😂
However the cast has covered up the plot flaws ❤️ And Suzy (I wasn't her fan but that might change) as *spoiler* at the end? 🔥H.O.T.🔥 My fav part was their history from the past.
The last two episodes were a bit disappointing—dragged out and not as emotionally engaging as the rest of the…
Dragged... maybe a little. As well as to much of silent treatment. Nonetheless I really enjoyed it. However I see ppl (and you:)) mention forced educational at the end of the series. I wonder what you mean. Was it too late while I was watching that I've missed it?^^" I don't really see it. Jdramas are almost always pretty theatrical, so I just got used to it. Teaching speeches, orchestrated situations and flowery parallels. That's how they make it.
It was sooo cute. I've binged-watched in one evening XD
At first it looked like Makoto's cross-dressing is forced and unclear but I'm glad it was explained. Ab Akira... I wished she wasn't that timid. OK, she wasn't the whole time but when she squirmed so often (being quite high and for no valid reason, being an adult) it made me cringe a bit. Other than that, I loved the height difference, their story, it gives off a "Lovely Complex" vibe (as mentioned by others) though they weren't fighting with each other all the time. I wouldn't mind if it had been a little longer;] If you're up to smth light, rom, friends-to-smth-more, go for it.
The poster looks like a remake of "200 Pounds of Beauty" (that;s why I'm here), but when I see 80 eps 2 minutes long I can't bring myself to watch it😒👎 I know there might be (or will be) compilations, but this kind of film-making impact negatively on the quality. In my opinion, always.
Gender Bender rom com sounds so weird in 2025/2026 XD. I want to watch for the nostalgia.
Not sure if it really soounds so weird. As a fan of gender bender (body swap!<3) I'll wait for the execution to see if they made it weird ;) The first hardship is to make FL passable as a guy 😂
