S1234

Beloved summer was really bad it was so weird since characters in their mid twenties were acting like they were 13.

I have to stop trusting MDL ratings. Super silly dramas or Disney like tropes are the only ones which get good ratings. This rating is not reflective of how good this drama is

Amen to that… I am loving loving this drama so far

This this this… exactly only international watchers having problems

All the dramas releasing now have a bite. I feel like twenty one twenty five will have loss, 39 already had a major bereavement. God knows what will happen to this one. If it becomes sad in the middle, I will leave this. I had a horrible experience with dol dol. especially with covid, one needs happy times, not more reminders of the fact that we are surrounded by doom and gloom.

I hope it’s not life threatening but then he would not have willingly started another relationship. But the last scene was weird. Really dramaland no more dol dol sol sol. At least something in the rain had a happy end. Also I am scared of red shoes. There is a south Asian legend of red fairy with red shoes usually means an evil witch. If there is a similar Korean context, this could mean his mother.

They are not saying they are in love. I think it’s a mistranslation. “Ishq”, “Pyaar” or “Pasand”. I think it’s “pasand” but this word has no English translation. They are saying that they are serious enough to date and discover each other. But given their complicated backstory and their present work conditions unfortunately their relationship is relegated to “creatures of the night” clandestine one. Hopefully they will make it more open and in day light when they feel safe. I am just hoping that this relationship does not blow up

While I am loving this drama, I keep getting strong something in the rain and dol dol sol sol vibes. I really hope it does not go there. The chemistry is awesome so I don’t want this to descend into a crying mess which a lot of k dramas do.

Thank you for letting us know. This is such an amazing drama

I have seen some old classic k dramas and they have always been mature too. It’s just that the more popular ones and on public govt. Channels such as SBS are more Disney like. I feel that to view OTT content people who are sensitively inclined can refer to the ratings and avoid anything upwards of 16 and go for PG. similarly people do the same for books also. Where people now read trigger warnings. This has nothing to do with Korean dramas but if late lot of people have been abusing hanya yanagihara a very famous author for writing hard hitting books on book tube and good reads. Despite them being aware that the content was strong. They still read it and leave poor ratings on booktube and good reads. This is probably where I am coming from. Comment if something is technically not ok. But if you are sensitive to the content then avoid it but don’t berate it. These are professional people who are working hard at it. I guess I am a little sensitive about this topic not because of what people are writing here (mydramalist is respectful) but beucase of the toxic behaviours that I see authors and creative professionals face.

That’s what people fail to realise. Drama chemistry is like a tennis match, you can have an ace player at one end but the volleys have to be served well by the other player too. Song Kang is aalso doing a great job their chemistry is awesome. I m also loving is how PG rated and grandpa like his interactions with his ex gf is in the flashbacks but it’s on fire with PMY.

And her super amazing facial expressions. She is so so good. Song Kang is handsome, but when PMY is in the same frame my eyes gravitate towards her.

To be honest same here. Dol dol sol sol comes to mind. That drama did such a hairpin turn. Pretty Noona had the right dark tone so I was expecting it. This one has started happy I don’t know want it to go melancholic

I also think we are being judgmental about western content too. The western dramas address so many varied topics such as income inequality, racism, trauma, gender issues. Some western dramas have such hard hitting content in a good way. Why are we throwing shade on them. Not all western dramas are soap operas or dating reality shows.

Oh my bad did not know. I did think that international fans were a bit insensitive in not understanding why Koreans may have a problem with it. sovereignty and respect for one’s own culture is a shared feeling across all countries and if Koreans were upset then we should respect that.

Same here. I love strong female leads. 🙂. Kim hye Soo is the real deal.

Yes so many of them and good ones at that. I tried to watch love and leashes but it was too campy barely made it through first 20 mins. Hope juvenile justice does justice (🙂) to its cast. I also want to watch Hometown, looks quite promising.

Not really I am watching Inventing Anna and this one. I have my eyes set on Juvenile Justice and Bridgerton 2 next fortnight. Like I said I watch one Korean and one Western. It’s a good mix, like having sweet and spicy chicken at the same time. 🙂. After that I will watch 39 🙂.

I also think this is a side effect of Korean dramas becoming more international which means having fans from very gender biased countries. These international fans are more used to seeing only women under 28 whilst male actors can be 55 even. This is why a 8 years age difference drama like snowdrop is being loved while this is being hated. And then these people troll viciously. In the past k drama were limited to fewer countries, About 7 years ago when Park Seo Joon (he was only 25 and she was 44) did a super steamy scene with a lady 19 years older than him and that scene was actually quite quite steamy and in the 1st or 2nd episode even, no one had a problem.

Thankfully there are others who support them 😊. This drama is getting a lot of love and liking . We would also have never had a show like inventing Anna with one of the leads a pregnant woman. This would not have happened even a decade ago. 😊👍. I dont know why people think song Kang is young he is 30 and as a Korean man technically even expected to endanger his health for the country and the army. So in which planet is he young.
