Yeah, same. That seems to be happening more and more to me on mdl lately. Not sure what's going on with the ratings…
I want to see interesting and engaging stories. I definitely watched too many from all over the world so my personal bar is high. As for MDL ratings I noticed that there is a certain amount of fans who get to like an actor and become obsessed with them, so they would rate very high disregarding of how good or bad the series are. There are apparently whole armies of these fans and they get into fandom wars so they sometimes lower ratings of stuff they fight against. Or maybe people who hate series are just nnice and don't want to be toxic going around posting bad reviews? Or maybe people just have no taste for all I know š
Prequel to this (Bittersweet chocolate) ended with someone stealing the drugs and Gang of Cherry began with a fight over someone stealing them, which was never resolved, but I easily figured who did it - director, writer and the whole production team! Actors were good, well considering the shi... they took part in. This makes absolutely zero sense and I can't believe poor queer people gathering for festivals all over Asia (probably at some risk too) and having to sit 2 hours through this. Many say it's disturbing but to me it's boring and senseless most of all. I read through a lot of comments here and I realized no one really understands what is happening. If there are any metaphors, they are harder to fathom than Antique poetry in Latin. If you are here to watch it for Gun like me, don't bother or at least hit x2.
ONE OF THE WORST MOVIES IāVE EVER SEEN (WHAT WAS THAT??)Gun is miscast here. His acting is so awkward that itās…
Hands off Russian dub lol š Guys are doing this for free, it's a fan dub, and they are the best voices, they allow so many series available to the Russian speaking audience. You must know even mentioning anything queer is illegal in that part of the world, so they are also doing it with a certain risk to their freedom. Stay safe! And yes the movie is terrible š¤£
31 minutes of baking cake. If they shared a recipe in the beginning, I could very well be cooking with them in real time. So slooooooooooow. Is cake some kind of metaphor? Like "something's cooking" or feelings, or drugs? So boring and doesn't make any sense. Zero watching value. Who came into the tub? Was it mom? What's blind guy's role?
Every kdrama page I go to has people criticizing the FL, could it be that there are no good Korean actresses?…
Sexism is really there, but more so in bad writing where actresses don't have much to do or play. They are mostly written as cute dolls smiling at ML. For example Park Bo Young was brilliant in "Daily dose of Sunshine" and really bad in "Doom at your service", but I don't think she somehow improved, she is pure dumb character with limited emotions in Doom, and someone dealing with a lot of drama in Sunshine. Although you would think that dying character would be amazing and dramatic, but really the way it's written it makes no sense. I believe in better things to come and that we will have more series with better written FLs.
I know we are all different and you need to just move on if you don't like something, but I saw so many good comments and they made me watch it. Which makes me leave my honest opinion that this is really boring, stereotypical series, with a bit of cringe, main leads are super unlikable, no cute faces. I didn't enjoy anything about this.
At least MDL calls it what it is - drama, and not "romance, comedy" as every other resource. It's sad and intense and I haven't cried so much over series in my entire life I think. First episode is like a whole movie in itself. I will recommend the crap out of it for everyone. Excellent writing, excellent everything. This is 100% not my genre of music, but the series are 10 out of 10. Thank you everyone who made it.
