episodes 5 and 6 felt like filler episodes to me? they were interesting but at the same time nothing happened…
Reading behind the lines, it looks like they are slowly unraveling the mystery behind the Jin family's first daughter's disappearance and it revolves around the female lead. These episodes contain potentially HUGE plot twists, or the introduction to them
I'm a dropper, definitely. Sometimes right at the beginning around episode 3, sometimes after giving it a few more episodes, and occasionally right before the final episode (Love in the Moonlight, What's Wrong With Secretary Kim, Twenty-Five Twenty-One) for one reason or another. I have been frustrated by final episodes one time too many (Black, being a primary culprit) after being very emotionally invested in them.
When I drop at the outset, it's usually because I could not buy into the chemistry between the leads or when I find the writing sloppy and not engaging enough. The most often reason I drop a drama in the middle of it is when the plotline took a turn I didn't find feasible or logical or if I have become disengaged in the story. I watch K-drama to de-stress so I don't find it beneficial to plough through something that does not give me the joy I was seeking as a de-stressor
I love it that they (Kim Dong Wook and Moon Ga Young) reprised their characters from "Find Me in Your Memory" like this was just a continuation from their story in that drama. I was hooting with laughter as I really loved FMIYM
Having played and competed in badminton myself, I don't understand why they switch doubles partners around so much. Playing doubles in badminton for tournaments is about building understanding and trust between two players. Partnerships are formed based on chemistry and individual skill sets that complement AND supplement each other. Selecting players for the doubles matches are done as a unit; not on how each player performs individually. The selection methods the Yunis coaches used to qualify an individual player to play in tournaments did not make sense to me.
I know it's just a drama, but they need to know how to weave in the technicalities of the game into the plot instead of merely using it as a backdrop.
Yall, I am not liking Do Be Man at all. I'm 4 episodes in and I find him to be hella distasteful, does he have…
His moment of epiphany was great. The villains are cunning and ruthless, so he had to come around pretty quickly once he realized the truth. This show is quite underrated, in my opinion.
Great summary! It's been a while since I've last rooted for both the main couple and the secondary couple. They both have their own charms I can't choose a favorite between them. And at the same time loving the friendship between them too. I am actually not too partial to romcoms and am very picky about watching one. But this one had me laughing out loud alone, like a loon. It's great, easy to watch, and very stress-relieving. Pretty sad that it only lasted 12 episodes. I would love a second season very much.
The 1st episode did nothing but confuse me. Why should I continue this? What makes it good!
I'd give it a few more trial episodes. You might be able to form your own judgement based on your personal preferences. I enjoyed the show immensely despite its faults. It's more about the emotional connections with this one, instead of mere plot technicalities.
I think all this wouldn't have happened if bulgassal female lead minded her own business and didn't got involved…
She followed her maternal instincts to care for a couple of orphans. For me the fault lies with Ok Eul-tae whose greed and deceit caused events to turn tragic for everyone. Bulgalady was already starting to consider a return to Hwal's side, and none of the villagers would have even known of the Bulgalady's presence if OET hadn't framed her for HIS evildoings.
Omg yes I felt empty too!! I feel there should be more Abt hwal and sangun like I know for all episodes is about…
Hwal may have turned bad in the past, but his journey towards redemption was epic. That's an amazing character arc if you ask me. It just underlines the message that the power to change lies within all of us, and this was nicely juxta-positioned Ok Eul-tae's lifelong, poor decisions made from the very start.
Ok Eul Tae lied about the Bulgasal because he needed a fall guy after he killed his older brother. Plus Sang Un,…
Spot on, and I like all your rationalization over the main points and relationship between the three. People just largely look at this on a superficial and failed to grasp the significance of the backstory, and rather harp on silly "ships" and the clothes the actors wear
What option do the people who constantly been tossed & pushed towards the edge have actually?Either become a person…
Profound observation. I find it a little regretful that some seem to focus more on the 'ships instead of the storyline presented. It keeps them from enjoying the drama series for what it is.
Because it contradicts the narrative of why Yeongjo left Sado to die in the rice chest. I'm assuming that, were…
Youve listed out all my favourite sageuks. I cried buckets watching The Throne, had such a debilitating withdrawal symptoms after Six Flying Dragons ended and went through my first major second lead syndrome in Sungkyunkwan Scandal. And they all involved Yoo Ah In.
