S1234

Thank you that’ would be great to watch. I also liked the 2006 movie daredevil a lot too

I am dropping forecasting because I have a personal trigger about vision loss. I even hated Jane eyre because of this ending. It’s fine if the character is visually impaired to begin then I actually really like that due to diversity. I feel this drama may lead us there and I don’t want to be there 🙂. Watch my Id is Gangnam beauty. And tales of nokdu is so beautiful but so underrated.

If it’s fun drama you want you can try Chinese dramas. Xu kai is always a good choice. I am also dropping this drama. You can watch Waikiki 1 and 2 it’s amazingly fun and strong woman do bong soon

Sure look forward to hearing from you in case it’s a happy end since I am checking out of this drama. Also I don’t want to have an ending like Jane Eyre where the main hero is left suddenly disabled. I loved dramas with people with special abilities, but I hate it when writers throw curveball like this just to manipulate with our emotions

I am dropping this drama. I have a huge trigger when it’s come to vision loss. So this is an absolute no go for me now. This week the drama went massively downhill for me. So I cannot take this anymore. They should have put a trigger warning. Since I am sure there are others like me who have a fear of this issue. I am so frustrated with how things shaped up. Seems like people who foreshadowed that couple sleeping together early would mean something no good is turning out to be true

I have really liked this drama so far but I have one point that I am critical about. I think the writer has chosen to display very unhealthy work habits of these office people. They seem to be at work by 7 am! and are a still shown to be working until 9 pm. Moreover they don’t have any weekends off it seems and even on the one weekend off they are still obsessing about work. This is totally insane even by k drama and j drama standards. This is actually causing the plot of this drama to also halt because the main leads never get to spend time or do anything else. Also the side couple don’t get to spend time either. Hence it also makes me sceptical about what kind of personal life would any of these characters have and since everyone is at work they also have poker faces on which prevents the characters from developing a more holistic 3 D personality. That’s my 2 cents

I think it’s not that he is good looking but it’s more like he is trending. Thus he is able to get the eyeballs and the views that channel syndicates want. I think they also know that his acting is so so. Also his looks are not super great but he is trending and that does bring in the revenues that channel want. So I would say it’s a smart decision to cast him whilst he is popular. At the end of the day production houses have to make profits. I am sure their operations are already stretched due to Covid protocols and so many other business challenges. So many livelihoods depend on the success of one dramas

Did you watch the latest video by Netflix Korea? In this park min young says that she struggled a lot mentally during this show and Yoon park helped her . I think all these trolling has gotten to her. She also looked very tired in this latest clip. I mean she is just 35 but looked so so tired and worn out that I felt like giving her a hug. People have given her a lot of shit over song Kang and park Seo joon, whilst giving a free pass t han so Hee even though she does intimate scenes since she is in her twenties

This was the first episode I was a bit disappointed. While mature conversation is important in a relationship which can be evidenced by them talking to each other. Intensity of feeling is important too. Even old grandparents with decades of marriage have intensity and their moments in this episode felt a bit flat

She did so many others in between remember, queen of 7 days. I guess it’s her luck that only the office dramas become more hit

I think J dramas are great . One of my favourite dramas in one where the male lead is paralysed. However. K dramas are wonderful too. The problem is k dramas attract a lot of international viewers from very patriarchal and misogynistic countries which means that when k dramas push the envelope on content, a lot of these fans go all toxic and raging. Case in point, you can check any rating of MDL website with older heroines etc. and you would see not only people posting sexually abusive comments about the heroine (only person called SHK a Mack) but they downvote the dramas too. Which is why we think that Korean dramas are usually one way. There is good diversity within Korean dramas too. But you will find them poorly rated in this MDL website. Conversely J Drams have a smaller international audience and hence less trolling and more authentic ratings

Of course not. MDL can get toxic since trollers go a purposely tank dramas if they don’t like the concept

Of course. I totally agree. But what I wanted to share was that 2521 is not great and it’s not my cup of tea for the reasons I highlighted. At the same time I honour peoples choice 😊.

Thankfully that’s just some lame k drama audience who also have a problem with older heroines. But there have been so many dramas in Netflix which people like. Usually I go to flixpatrol and see what is trending the charts in the US Netflix and I am happy to note that of late it’s so much more diverse and rich and watch those. Also JTBC curates it’s shows well unlike TVN which is more commoditised

I don’t like shows like 2521 which is just young teen problems and unnecessary angst with a Disney feel. Just a way of showing cookie cutter heteronormative people with zero sex like ken and Barbie. Teen dramas I ever enjoy are like a Swedish one called quicksand which talked about problems with drugs and a school shootout. It was hard hitting and profound. I have watched that show over and over agin. The acting of the cast especially after the shootout happened is superb. I would rather watch teen shows like these than watch super beautiful young people dance circles around each other playing pretend life. Just my opinion though. Plus no diversity, no non beautiful people, no disabled people. That’s not how school works I remember my own school life and we had people from all walks of life.

Yes as has been apparently said by 100s of people here that’s it’s hard to not get the message

The weirdest thing is that a lot of 2521 proponents came to this MDL webpage and gave terrible feedback about this drama trying to tank FLAW and this whole fracas has put me off 25/21

I think I see a sleeper hit effect with flaw. Lots of haters initially but now more and more people coming back with good comments.

In my experience age and maturity are two separate things 😊. And yes Si Woo character has been written well. I loved when he did share his discomfort with the FL and put his foot down. It kinds of balances the power equation since at work she is his boss. And personally I like when people assert and stand their ground. So I know people loved the bar scene but to me this earlier scene was more powerful and poignant

I do like noona romances but do not like younger pushover heroes such as park bo gum and his big smile in encounter. So it’s pleasant surprise to see the male lead being assertive but at the same time not aggressive. It’s a fine balance and I think the writer, director and Song Kang have nailed it
