This is feeling like Cheese In The Trap, which I loved (for the most part).
Side characters are still super annoying (grr at the typical representation of college students), but Mi Rae as a character has a lot of potential for development. Also love how mysterious Do Kyung Suk is, yet also so forward.
:) only read the first part about he can’t harm people and proceed to harm people, but I love your article and…
I think you got the wrong impression from the article; it was by no means stating that NS3 is dumb. NS3 as an AI is very intelligent. The article is more discussing how AYHT relates to Asimov's law of robotics.
Really interesting read; you actually introduced Asimov's laws of robotics to me. I look forward to future analyses like this!
One minor point I'd like to argue against the examples you used for NS3 hurting people is that in those scenes, NS3 probably didn't classify his actions are harming others. He has been programmed not to harm humans, but his actions hold the potential to. Otherwise, NS3 definitely breaks a ton of the laws. I wonder if that's to show how human can NS3 develop, given the title and all.
For the Korean actress comment, do you just want us to nominate here in the comments, or is there a place to vote?
I just finished ep 8 and I had the biggest revelation.From reading comments I know that most people love Si the…
You're absolutely right in your post; behavior like this should not be condoned--just look at celebrities that commit acts more mild than his sexual assault; people criticize them and say their career is over. Yet here we have someone actually fully sexually assaulting someone, and people are defending it "because it's the source material and other versions were worse"? Just because it's an adaption doesn't mean we shouldn't criticize his character at that time.
and a "friendly pointer" for your critique: Instead of "lacks some substance" a positive criticism or better yet…
First of all, my post was in no means to be read offensively; I'm not sure how you read it, but it wasn't written with any aggression *unlike* your responses.
Secondly, "needs fleshed out more" is on no better grounds than "lacks some substance". Your inclusion of the word "needs" mirrors their post "lacking" something. If you're going to be transparently passive aggressive about phrasing, do it right at least. "..could be fleshed out more" for example.
They deserve our appreciation and encourage, which is precisely why constructive criticism and advice are all the more beneficial.
Lol Ikr!Most people are aware of this fact that the plot and the male lead is shit but everyone just watches it…
Yup.. if it was in a comedic manner and he didn't actually force a kiss on her and made her cry, I could've maybe let it slide, but that was just straight up assault. I could hardly look at the drama after that...
Overall, it's a nice article, but it doesn't really dive into the reasons. In short, it lacks some substance. For example, I agree Age of Youth was a success in showcasing the importance of friendship, but the article doesn't show why. Just something broad that doesn't give away too many details will make it much more convincing.
Just going to use a quick explanation for Age of Youth as an example: "Age of Youth shows us the significance in friendship through a group of girls that are able to resolve their struggles and conflicts with the help of each other. "
Aside from some statements lacking reason, some reasons don't correlate with the respective dramas listed. School 2015 was definitely to bring awareness to bullying, but the reasoning here doesn't quite fit it.
Somewhat spoilers on School 2015 if you haven't seen (?) so don't read next paragraph if you haven't seen.
Kang So Yung didn't bully Lee Eun Bi to feel prettier or thinner, and ruining someone's life *did* make her own life better, as she enjoyed bullying people. However, the message the drama brought to viewers on bullying was that it's not alright to torment another person just because it brings you joy. This is further supported when Cha Song Joo criticizes Kang So Yung for the need to feel above other people, and that she pities her for living life that way. If Kang So Yung was able to further get away with bullying others as she did in the beginning, she definitely would've continued.
How about you judge the drama after actually finishing the first ep or so, instead of listing a chaebol scenario,…
What does "dance on her" mean? I'm not familiar with the phrase.
And nobody's fooling anyone. Your description is *literally* not how their romance goes lol.
The writers don't drag YJ down, they don't make him look pathetic, and they sure as hell don't have him give up his pride. He's prideful throughout the entire drama. That's a fact. Furthermore Mi So isn't poor. She *WAS*. The key is past tense. She paid off her and her family's debt. She's also a fully capable woman.
If I say anymore, I'd have to get into finer details, and I'd feel like I'd be spoiling the drama, although it seems like you're spoiling the enjoyment for yourself regardless with the false confirmation bias.
That aside, if you're still annoyed and not enjoying it by ep 6, do yourself a favor and drop the drama. You don't have to keep wasting your time; the drama's not gonna change from a comedic standpoint.
I can't really think of anyone else Fang would be familiar with? Unless it's a character not introduced yet

It's 36 but the episodes are 30 minutes, so about 18 regular drama episodes if that helps any.

Your response on the other hand is very passive aggressive, but thanks for the advice anyways; I'll be sure to try and sound more positive.
I'm just...?? what????
Yeah I started for Shen yue as well, and am liking Lei so far.
Still waiting for something with as amazing storytelling and motifs as The Handmaiden.
