I was okay with it until she basically raped him in the end. What the Fuck? How is that okay?

a queen!

You're right. I have no control over which dramas air. But producers decide which dramas to air based on response from the public. Although my small opinion might not make a dent against all the people that love this drama, I made my comment to give my response. I'm still confused. Just because YOU (who is not a relevant person that could influence my decisions) don't agree with me, was I supposed to lie and say I enjoyed the drama (although it makes me cringe just thinking about it) just to appease you? Was I supposed to lie and say I enjoyed the drama and congratulated the actors on their non-existent talent just so I don't "defame" them?

Our conversation is getting tiring and repetitive. No matter how irrelevant you think my opinion is, I'll still call out dramas and actors that it think are garbage. Just because I THINK they're trash, doesn't mean they are.

For the 3rd and final time, I'll point out that you don't see me attacking people that comment how much they love this drama. It's called basic decency and civility. We are obviously not going to come to an agreement since we've been going at it for days. I don't wish to spend any more time defending my right to express my option, no matter how unpopular that opinion might be. LET'S AGREE TO DISAGREE! Enjoy the rest of this drama and please be respectful of other people that comment how much they hate it, even if there's only a few people that express their detest. It's not the end of this world. Neither of us has any say on what Korean television broadcasts, so let's all let each other criticize in peace. Bye!

We both have different criteria for what makes a good actor, obviously. That's okay! You keep saying I'm not backing it up, but I've already said that I don't like their lack of emotion when delivering their lines. If you want evidence for that, go and watch any of the episodes of this drama. But that obviously won't convince you because YOU HAVE DIFFERENT STANDARDS AND TALENT IS SOMETHING WE ALL SUBJECTIVELY ANALYZE. We could both be watching the same thing, but different people assess things differently.

Regarding me being insulting to the actors, I might have been harsh but people will never learn from their mistakes unless you point them out. Was I supposed to lie and say that they're doing an awesome job just so that I don't hurt their feelings? My comment was just to warn people from starting this drama because I think it's a complete waste of their time. That's just what I think, and people considering starting this drama can read all our comments and decide for themselves.

It also seems like "you got your little panties all in a twist" just because I think that your attacks against a person simply expressing their opinion were uncalled for. Like I said, although I don't agree with most of these commenters, you don't see me harassing them just because they don't agree with me. If you didn't agree with my comment, you could have respectfully replied with your take on this drama rather than immediately attack me. Or you could have went on your own way just like other dignified commenters did.

I won't try to convince you that this drama is terrible. Its perfectly fine for you to like it. My problem is with you harassing people for not having the same views as you. I've probably written the word "subjective" 20 times about now, but you still don't understand. Me writing that these actors suck, was a harsh, SUBJECTIVE (meaning based on personal preference and biases) analysis of their talents. That does not mean that my opinion is law, it just means thats what I though of this drama.

Another judgment I see! You keep on saying my opinions are unsupported, but Ive already told you I based them off all the years I've witnessed these actors do a terrible job. If you selectively ignore the parts of my comments, that's your problem not mine. I still don't see how saying that someone isn't a good actor (after I've observed their acting) is an insult. They're just bad actors (in my opinion). Do you expect people to lie just to fit in? A lot of people like their acting, I don't. I've already given you reasons why. You don't have to value my opinion, just respect it.

Just as you've deemed yourself qualified to judge my reading comprehension, I'll do the same for you. I've had to continuously explain myself just to defend against your berating remarks. This whole conversation has been redundant, with me saying that all I said was JUST MY OPINION and you trying to belittle me just because you don't share that opinion. You tried to demean my comment by saying that it was in the minority, when in fact that makes no difference whatsoever.

There are many people on this comment section writing about how much they love Lee Seung Gi and how much they love this drama. You don't see me replying to their comments by saying things like, "Good grief, go take some acting lessons yourself before you spout off & embarrass yourself." You don't see me make rude comments to them and harassing them for having a different opinion than me. That's because although I disagree with them, and their comments give me "a rough estimate on how to value [their] opinion about actors and acting in general", I respect them enough to let them express themselves. I don't begrudge anyone for having a different opinion than I do, so why do you? Why is is such a big problem for you to accept that not everyone's beliefs will align with yours?

So you're saying an opinion is worthless if it's in the minority? That kind of thinking is what prevents people from growing from their mistakes. I still don't know why you're so sensitive to my comments. Was I supposed to shut up and keep my opinion to myself just because it wasn't a popular opinion? You're making personal attacks against me just because my thoughts dint coincide with yours. You can laugh at my comment or even resent me for it, but it's not right to insult me. Throughout out conversation, I never made one single attack against you because I don't know you. You, on the other hand, felt free to insult me. However, I have criticized the drama and it's actors, based on what I have observed. You keep on saying I have no basis for saying that these actors have no talent. My basis is that I've observed them act for years, and I haven't seen any improvement in their talent. It's not insulting, that's just what I clearly see. Again, this is subjective! There's plenty of people who agree with me, and they're those who don't.

Your dramatic comparison of my comments to that of flat-earthers just shows that you've completely misconceived my comments. The shape of the earth is determined by tangible evidence and is not something that depends on other's opinion. However talent, just like beauty, is determined by subjective analysis and biases. They're not even the same thing.

That's what I mean. We obviously have different tastes and standards, so we're not going to come to an agreement. That's okay! No matter how much of a minority my opinion is, that doesn't make it less valid. We're all making subjective analysis so it depends on personal preference. A lot of people seem to like these actors and this drama, which is fine. But that doesn't make my opinion any less important or more "ridiculous". As I said, my profession doesn't make a difference. The comment section is here for all of us to share our unique takes on the drama, whether negative or positive. Please don't get butt hurt just because some people disagree with you. We live in a world with diverse opinions, not everyone is going to share yours.

Just a side note, I don't know if that's the way Ma Wang's character was written, or if it was just the actors lack of talent that annoys the s*** out of me every time he's on screen.

Tell me about it! I was so excited about this drama when it first started, now I'm just waiting for it to end. I'm probably going to drop it.

I didn't mention the other actors because I think they're all terrible actors. The female lead actress is the only one that I actually liked in another drama. I'm biased against the other actors because I've never seen them do a decent job acting ever. I was disappointed by her because I actually expected her to do well. All the other actors have no talent (in my opinion) so I wasn't too disappointed.

You're right that the fault mainly lies on the script and the director, however these actors didn't preform well either. They deliver their lines in a robotic voice that has no emotion. That's what I meant when I said that they were all hollow. They couldn't play a realistic character and it sounded like they were all reciting scripts. Then again, I'm biased against them because I think they have no talent.

I really don't know why you make personal attacks against me. "You sound as tho you DON'T have a clue what an actor's job is." Although I don't really have to defend myself against you, The reason I'm so confident in my criticisms of these actors is because I work in the film industry. I do act, but I usually direct and produce. I work with actors, so I'm not aimlessly making remarks on their skills. But you seem to think you know me better than I know myself, so I guess I really don't know what I'm talking about. Working in the industry has shown me that actors are partially responsible for bringing a script to life. No matter how dry and terrible it is, a good actor should at least delivery his lines without sounding like he's reading from a cue card.

My profession really doesn't make a difference though. Even if it were someone without any experience in the industry, these claims are still valid because these criticisms are subjective. I might sound harsh when I say "How is it that these people still don't know how to act even though they've had years of experience?", but this is not a "slur". I'm simply making an analysis of their talents based on my experience. Lee Seung Gi has been in the industry for years, yet he's still a terrible actor as he was when I first saw him in "My Girlfriend is a Nine Tailed Fox". Again that's just a subjective analysis based on person preference and experience. You do not have to agree with me.

Fashion king is definitely not for everyone. I put it on hold for the longest time, but finally finished it. The ending is mind blowing, but I see why you wouldn't like it. It's kind of frustrating! I like Boys Over Flowers, and I actually watched the Japanese version which is soooo much better!

I dropped it with literally 2 episodes left to finish it, just because I couldn't make myself suffer through another episode of it. Drop it and save yourself the pain!

okay. I'm going to need you to chill out for a second. There's a huge difference between me critiquing these actors AFTER observing them, and you just dissing my acting skills without ever having watched me. Again, I apologize if I offended you personally. I just hate this drama, not you.

As for citing evidence for why I say this drama is trash, here goes:

1. The lead actress, who is definitely not a strong actress (IN MY OPINION), shouldn't have been casted for this role. She does better in roles like the one she had in Come Back Mister, where she played someone sexy, quirky, and brave. Here, they're trying to make her seem innocent and insecure, but she doesn't have that vibe or the talent to pull off that role. Again this is a subjective analysis of her skills, I'm not a professional.

2. The script is definitely a fail! They had an interesting and unique story line at first. I actually liked this drama back in ep 2 and I couldn't wait for the next episode to drop. However, the script writer did a subpar job developing these characters as they react to their environment. These characters feel very rigid and unrelatable because we don't see them grow and evolve like normal people do. I know this is a supernatural drama, but all stories need to have the basic characteristics needed for the audience to connect with the plot. We're already on episode 14 and there has been no character development whatsoever! They're all the same hollow and unreliable characters they were from the first episode.

3. Random plot lines are being added to complicate the story just s they can drag the story to ep 20, and important and interesting plot lines are being dropped without any context. Exhibit A: wtf ever happened with the pregnant woman that's Sun Mi's sister or something? They appeared into the story to give Sun Mi some back story and get kicked out of the plot when there not f interest. This is definitely up to the writer's creative choice, but to make a believable story, a writer shouldn't treat his characters as tools to manipulate a plot. Even minor side characters need to have context, but certain characters are suddenly just forgotten and ignored.

Exhibit B: random characters are added into the story o complicate the plot, but they just end up crowding out the essential plot lines of this story. The octopus prince that appears for no apparent reason has served no purpose for this plot so far. The ahjussi that owns the cellphone company could be playing a more relevant role other than just cooking and existing. All these nonessential characters are taking away the spotlight of more important things like Ma Wang and his girl and the love story between the main couple. Although I said that it's important to develop side characters enough to make them realistic, these minor characters are just getting screen time without us actually understanding their personalities, fears, aspirations. I'm personally unable to make a deep connection with any of these characters.

3. There's absolutely no organization. This goes along with my second point of minor characters and plot lines being introduced into the story without any context or relevance. It feels like 5 different writers got together and merged a bunch of short stories together to create this script. There are so many inconsistencies and confusing details throughout the drama and I'm just unsure about which parts I'm supposed to focus on. They needed a good script editor to clean this mess up so that they could tell the same story, but an organized and well-developed version of it. I know that the script is based of the Chinese novel "a journey to the west" and there are several Chinese adaptations of that novel. I think the major problem was that the producers just didn't know which parts to focus on to create a well-rounded, wholesome drama.

I'm not saying that all dramas should be the same, but I believe there's got to be some standard to judge entertainment from. I drama with a similar genre to this, Goblin, is literally my favorite drama ever. With Goblin, the script writers made sure to develop their characters to make them seem realistic and for us to actually see them as real beings. Again, I'm not saying that all dramas need to be like Goblin. I'm just trying to say that no matter what genre, there are essential ingredients to a drama that must be present in order for an audience to fully commit and connect with the story being told.

I've already apologized if you felt personally attacked by my comments. However, you're comments about me were uncalled for. There's a difference between me making an analysis of a drama and you outright attacking me because I don't like the same drama as you. You wrote that my "holy opinion" was ridiculous. Never have I claimed that my opinion was divine, but I don't think anyone's opinion is ridiculous. If you like this drama so much, let's agree to disagree and act civil towards each other. I've just listed 3 important reasons to "BACK UP" my claims, and although you might not consider them relevant, these are highly critical criteria that I evaluate in each drama I watch. I doubt that you actually read through all this (I don't Balme you, I basically just wrote a whole essay), but it's all because I very passionately hate this drama. It's cool if you disagree, just don't diss me. Respect!

for me, the worst drama is Cinderella and the Four Knights

Wow! Chill out! Why are you taking it so personally? You've never seen me act, but you're already criticizing my acting. I'm sorry if you were THAT invested in this drama, I didn't mean to offend you personally. But this is the comment section where we're supposed to COMMENT our OPINION and share our thoughts on this drama. And I'm allowed to voice my opinion, which is that they're terrible actors. You can have a different opinion, but you don't have to harass me and diss me for not sharing your opinion.

I watched the 14th episode since everyone was hyping it up, but the story isn't even properly developed. I can't see how they failed so miserably to portray realistic characters. I know this is is sci-fi, but you need to have some realism to make it more relatable!

It's really one of the worst dramas you will ever watch. Save yourself while you still can!

I totally feel you! I actually didn't mind her in Come Back, Mister although she wasn't that good. But I've dropped My Sassy Girl because I couldn't stand her acting. I don't know why they cast her to play such an innocent role in this drama, because she obviously doesn't have the look for it. There's a lot of slapstick comedy, which I absolutely can not stand. It's all a mess! You're right that it's mostly the writer's fault because there's so many abandoned plot lines and random things happening. Everyone had sub-par to absolute trash level acting, so that didn't help either. They're trying so hard to drag it to 20 episodes.

How are you guys enjoying this? This is truly one of the worst dramas that I've had the displeasure of suffering through! I mean, we all have different tastes, but this was a major disappointment. How is it that these people still don't know how to act even though they've had years of experience? Who funded this trash to be produced? I really can't!

This is my favorite movie and I plan to rewatch it everyday on my birthday! As a vegan, I'm so happy to see movies like this coming out. It is one of the most heartbreaking movie ever. This movie isn't about veganism, but rather the problems with mass production of food and corporate greed. However, I believe that the appearance of the ALF in the movie incorporated the theme of animal suffering in the agricultural industry. This is a true masterpiece and I recommend that everyone watch it. Every time I watch it, it's like the first time! I fall in love with it all over again.
