the hetero cringe skyrocketed with all that prejudices, the gay trope is just queer bait... in ep 2 after the…
UGH, using gaypanic & "haha queer ppl are ~funny to just think about lolz" type stupidity scenes as the ~dumbest of jokes shd stay left in the far past.. because of that, the first 4-or-so hrs felt like some ~90s reject or worse.. tho it eventually moves over that but right on into Boringville, & hasn't got much better; the only real light story-wise, is a surprisingly progressive background character in one of HJ's friends, who despite being divorced, has continued to date her ex-husband & is now ~openly dating another guy too.. ;O
(as of hour 10 of 16, eps 19-20 of 32, aka 62.5% in)
All I can say is these main actors are lucky they're ~cuute! What a mess of a story.. loss of so much potential (as usual) & the only real good thing to look fwd to btwn the main ~OT3 is my pondering how I could rewrite/edit each & every one of their scenes to be ~truly trio-shippy.. if only <3
BUT OMG- IS THAT AN ~ACTUAL *POLYSHIP* PROGRESSING IN THE BACKGROUND?! Okay, I'm sticking around for them too, lol. Let's see if at least they can ~seriously make it work! xD
Depends- if you're only interested in "physical action", then not really.. but if you're ~open to ALL kinds of romance in matters of the heart, then at its center is a ~deeply emotional & initially tragic love story between two ppl who find their way back to each other. <3
The Ah rin part shocked me as well because she has the exact face she had in high school. They should have used…
*Kermit flail*
I know this type of addiction well.. after all, I'm the kind of fool who has watched a series in a genre I don't even like ("horror", eugh) for ~15 looong seasons totaling 300+ episodes of frustrating messiness & somehow STILL gets disappointed (?!) when it's finally announced to be coming to an end.. like, what even is life? xD
But at least there's awesome fan-made media inspired by it <3
I'm kind of blanking on smth as "silly-bad" as these two, but.. my personal *top* "silly-good" Kdramas amount…
Just watched the 9th hour of My Fellow Citizens, ~still so epic & intense & kept me ~cracking up! <33 The impressive plot twists keep on coming & the music is extremely fun ;P
I like tracking everything I watch because I have to or I'd forget my place all the time LOL I actually keep a notebook that logs all episodic & film media viewing- including even webcomics too xD
Was it just me or did anybody else think that the reason DO was behaving the way he was in the flashback when…
That's exactly what I was figuring as I summarized DO's actions in a previous cmt below.. plus as a drama-viewer (as well as a *wannabe* future storyteller), AJ shdve been a ~lil more savvy to pick up on such simple signs, pfftt.. I know after ~years of media viewing of various types I myself am extremely "genre-knowledgeable" LOL so there is likely literally ~nothing that'd ever really surprise me or make me freak out to that extent, well at least not without me doing a full ~investigation first (I'm very ~thorough) xD
I'm kind of blanking on smth as "silly-bad" as these two, but.. my personal *top* "silly-good" Kdramas amount…
Haha, I'm actually still only 75% into SWP - only just started this year (5yrs laate, I kno LOL) - & it became an immediate *top* fave! I ~always knew I'd really like it, but I actually love it - the OT4 is epic & plus, my first serious f/f ship & one that's practically canon, oh my heart! I have it paired with Flower Boy Next Door (also late) but I paused them to watch smth else- I heard about To All the Guys & got too curious to wait, figuring if it was really bad (& omg, it sooo is, lol tho in entirely ~diff ways than this one!) I could just go back to the much better awesomeness of SWP later on <3
So, being the kind of person who likes to pair things of similar lengths, themes, etc- SiWon's MFC piqued my interest due to also being a "split-hours" type like TATG was listed as (tho Viki ended up posting TATG by the hour anyways, haha) & well, matching SWP actors ;P (I like to do that too; ie after Goblin, I looked up Biscuit Teacher & My Girl, for GY & LDW)
SiWon seems to have a gift for craack tho- I vaguely remember him being ~fairly "normal" in Oh My Lady, but he was one of the *best* & ~funniest parts of King of Dramas, & then he's "normal" yet still so hilarious in SWP, but in MFC? baack to craacktastic major.. feels like a totally different character <3
Everything she ~suspected about him, she made up in her own mind. He was not even purposely ignoring her, he was…
- so glad your partner stuck with you! Maturity is everything <3
That's what gets me the most- they write her as ~lamenting that it's "not only her that's gonna get hurt NOW" when SHE's the one who has really hurt her daughter ~all these years! >n< Like okay, I can see using ~hormones as an excuse for making such a bad decision "in the moment", but sticking to it over the last *decade*+??
Ugh, I just wanna have a conference now with all the folks involved who actually thought this was ~acceptable to write & film as a "cheery" story.. -.-
I really don't understand people in comments- saying AeJong is the bad one, like Dae Oh is pretty trashy and childish…
Everything she ~suspected about him, she made up in her own mind. He was not even purposely ignoring her, he was working & she showed up early, but they had a dinner scheduled for later that night. The gift was very likely a surprise for ~her later, that he wasn't ready to give just yet, because he was busy working. That was a single scene, not like it was a montage of him missing dinner after dinner after dinner. She just got way too impatient. So yes, honestly in that situation I would be more understanding. I would not jump to conclusions because I don't imagine things about ppl in my real life. The one other thing that we see with him on the picnic, his genuine concerns about early marriage were totally valid- he was even worried about being able to ~support her, as any decent partner would. But with the amount of passion he had, he was probably planning to do smth big for her, like saving for a ring & a home, etc.
I could never ditch a person like that ~unless they told me *right to my face* that they did not want to be with me anymore. But then again, I'm a similar personality type to DO, so.. communication is *everything* & even the times I'm bad at it myself, I'd still never want anyone else to give up on me that easily cuz ~I'd never give up on them.
I'm kind of blanking on smth as "silly-bad" as these two, but.. my personal *top* "silly-good" Kdramas amount…
Thanks for the rec! Altho I personally do gravitate towards most "love triangle" stories (it's a ~curse of an interest, lol siighh), I also occasionally enjoy "found family" ones with workplace hijinks xD
Which reminds me, one I'm into right now is My Fellow Citizens.. started out kinda stupid, but then quickly got crazy-fun by the middle! Like if you took the intensity of 24 but with the snarky tone of White Collar then added a bunch of cracktastic awkwardness.. it's been one crazy ride ;P
I'm kind of blanking on smth as "silly-bad" as these two, but.. my personal *top* "silly-good" Kdramas amount…
riiight, I think that's the most ironic yet lulzy part LOL well, ~technically "She Was Pretty" & "My Love Patzzi" don't ~start with "P" but I'm weak for any mix of amusing alliteration ;P
PS: got a bunch of fun fanvids on my profile too <3
Please who can recommend other dramas that are as silly as WAS IT LOVE or TO ALL THE GUYS WHO LOVED ME?I'm in…
I'm kind of blanking on smth as "silly-bad" as these two, but.. my personal *top* "silly-good" Kdramas amount to [Protect - Pretty - Panda - Patzzi] <3 take your pick xD
Honestly I just watch for the ~cuute.. I've watched a LOT of "crappy" things in my lifetime just for the cuteness.. so I still love the opening theme of this series & the version that I rewrote in my mind with like ~1000% LESS stupidity ;P
You were so sure of this yesterday. I knew Ah rin was part of their misunderstanding, I didn't know Ryu jin was…
From the very beginning, I felt RJ was involved but at the same time was also kind of ~hoping that he wasn't or wasn't ~as complicit.. yet this?? is sooo much *worse* than anything I imagined!! I mean, him being "proactive" in keeping DO&AJ apart BACK THEN might've been maaybe more forgivable now IF he was at all at least somewhat reasonably repentant & ~apologetic about it but nooo instead he's still as rude & greedy & delusional as ever.. >.<
Ignoring how fun this love pentagon is to watch... You gotta admit, this would be a super sucky situation for…
It just comes down to ~emotional maturity & sense, so yeah, stupid selfish ppl "in love"? Boring, annoying, beyond frustrating, etc.. I prefer having *good* ppl in love working ~together, supporting each other, & ~respecting their multifaceted romances <3
Such relationships ~do exist in real life, they just take a lot of sincere effort & genuine compromise. But it seems with media, writers choose more often to go with ~amping up lame jealousy & "competition" soley for the sake of "drama" & "comedy".. ugh.
Looking fwd to the day I can enjoy a true (or at least more serious potential) poly-ship, with only ~external conflicts, not tired internal ones.. maybe by 2040? loool <3
Hmm, I don't know any Thai actors ~well enough~ to fancast this, but.. LOL xD
BOF was more about aaall the *ships* for me: first JiHoo/JunPyo, then JiHoo/JanDi, then OT3 of JH/JD/JP.. with a bit of JanDi/JaeKyung.. even OT4 near end JH/JP/JD/JK <3 plus of course the supporting ships: WooBin/YiJoung, YiJoung/GaEul, & secondary OT3 = WB/YJ/GE ;P
I haven't yet watched any other versions besides the Korean one, but I'm hoping others will be just as.. ~poly-shippable? Yeah, that pretty much sums it up! *fingers crossed*

By the way, She Was Pretty seems to be ~missing on your dramalist, actually I didn't see RvLove there either..
