To be honest that’s how it works most of the times women hating on women

Very patriarchal folks

It’s not only about age difference. They also hate if the girl is not in her twenties anymore. They only want to see eye candy heroines who are bullied by older rich male leads

Exactly. I feel like MDL viewers will not even have the problem if the guy is a grandpa literally. But no they will not tolerate even if the girl is a year older. And these people then go and downvote the dramas. This is one of the most toxic websites I have ever seen in my life

This is exactly what I was talking about MDL being a toxic place. While male leads being even fifteen years older no one says anything. Such horrible double standards. This website attracts the most patriarchal and misogynistic people

I think that’s because the drama received a lot of hatred from a few people. Three reasons 1) people started posting negative comments before the show aired 2) some people say they hate women being older and keep reappearing often to say the same thing and are extremely rude to fellow commenters here 3) some people who watch every episode and come back to write extremely negative comments so that they ensure that negative comments are always present and upfront in this page. It’s not a simple dislike and it’s such a huge force of negativity unlike anything I have seen before. These guys are trying to tank this drama and I don’t know why. It’s not a logical reason where they don’t like the story, acting or direction. It’s simply that they seem to hate the drama for merely being 😀

Exactly there is new drama by Xu Kai and Yang Mi and that drama has only receive good vibes. Don’t know what this drama did. But usually Chinese dramas get less toxic viewers flung their way.

I think you should let this person be. MDL has a lot of viewers from very patriarchal societies and they will not accept this drama. How dare she be older !!! And if you respond to them they will respond non politely to you too

That drama has such good comments like even before the drama has started even. It feels like people have an axe to grind

And not this drama only. It’s a wider problem as I said before. The most hatred is fling towards song hye Kyo and im Soo jung. And dramas with much older heroes get a green card and get massively promoted. It’s simply horrible. I have never encountered such a toxic web space in my life before. But the biggest problem is that the moderators don’t even respond.

MDL is hopeless since the people who dislike will keep posting and watching every episode. And the new viewers will keep getting dissuaded. It’s a vicious cycle. Only thing is not every person who enjoys Korea dramas visits this drama website. But MDL viewers cancel dramas and this is not the first drama they have done to. Which is why I think it needs moderating. I wrote to a few moderators but they did not bother to reply. In the meanwhile it’s a very toxic webspace

It’s doing well locally is it? it's doing well in SGP too

Is it not. It keeps getting better. I wish it was more popular. But people are more swayed by negative comments here on MDL than by positive comments

And the acting as well. I feel all of the actors are doing a phenomenal job. It’s visible from the off camera chemistry of the quartet. Honestly both SK and Yura have also surprised me. No one talks about Yura here. But she is great. She is so glamorous looking that it would have been easy for her to be the tropey babe but she is understated and her scenes are great. And HJK is great. I wish this drama received more love

Totally agree

I honestly have never liked a drama so much recently. After run of the mill Disney dramas (like beloved summer) this is such a huge change. Last time I loved a drama was one spring night. Which again had a very mature relationship. Now if these guys cover climate change and ecological damage (something I am personally passionate about) this will be it for me 😊. I actually want this drama to impart a social message about the world we live in and how much damage is happening with melting icebergs etc. I wish they go there

They really are the sweetest couple. Same weird interests, Good physical connection and now slowly solidifying emotional connection. I really don’t understand how else do real life relations start.

To be honest I was not trying to be rude either. I am an avid book reader more than I am a drama watcher and love reading 1000 page fantasy books such as burning god, Dune, throne of glass and way of kings. My point is I have a rule I will DNF a book at 300 pages if I don’t like it even if I have paid for the said book. I have found that negative feelings (disliking a book) stays longer in my head and it’s not worth my time. I am coming from that place. I have read your comments and they offer your point of view. Thus based on my subjective inference of your comments it seems with each episode you seem to like it less and hence my suggestion. Please do view it as a genuine and non negative point of view from me

I want to watch Vikings since it’s them against the tyranny of the British (what I understood). As a south Asian which was brutally ruled by the British for over 200 years this is on my watchlist. It’s a good show too I think

I agree that he is good. But unfortunately like other countries the lead is also chosen for commercial reasons… the production houses are commercial vehicles after all. will the lead draw buzz will people love it or love to hate it… it seems SK fits the bill since this drama has attracted a lot of attention good and bad. 😊 maybe this drama might increase visibility for Yoon Park. A similar thing happened with nam goong min. He was a creepy villain in remember and people loved him so much that he has had only lead roles since then 😊😊😊
