I agree with you 100%. I understand that if people like something they want more of it, but I wish they realized that the reason why they like these shows is because they tell complete stories in 16 episodes..

I have watched and even reviewed Flower of Evil. Anyhow the point I was trying to make is that no matter how great Flower of Evil and Beyond Evil were and how well the actors in question performed in those shows, the average viewership ratings in South Korea were relatively low for both, so they have a negligible chance for Daesang. (average ratings of 3.927% and 4.716% respectively)

Only commercially successful dramas win big awards, it's unfair, but that's just how it is.

Applies to FLower of Evil as well.

This is one of the best romance dramas I have ever seen. 9+ dramas are non romance and also some ppl just gave this a low rating due to not liking to watch mental illness related stuff.

That's just not realistic. Even the best acting performances of all time won't be enough, if the drama they've acted in only had 4-5% viewership ratings.

One day is enough, as long as that day is January the 1st.

The ratings are trash, so the writer doesn't give a shit anymore.

When it comes to censorship, or more specifically what can and cannot be shown on television South Korea has always been pretty heavy handed with its rules. Rules imposed by law & self imposed rules to make sure all demographics are pleased are aplenty.
Have you ever seen a kdrama where the OTP eloped and lived a happy life apart from the toxic parents? There is no such drama, because there would be ajumma armies enraged by the show creator's blatant disregard of confucianist ideals.

In fact the differencea between cdramas and kdramas in terms of censorship are effectively negligible.

Shin Hye Sun should just win the Daesang and I'll be okay with Seo Yea Ji winning best actress.
( Kim Soo Hyun will probably win the Daesang though, not undeservedly, but it's still somewhat unfair..)

They recorded the dubs in a studio, the acoustics are completely different from how they should be, the dubbing is indeed jarring at times.

I'm watching ep23 right now. Can someone please spoil me what the deal is with Xing Ke Lei's dizziness/headache? Is he going to need a brain operation?

I just picked this up. I'm watching ep6 right now. I'm not saying that I don't like the show, but what kind of crap hospital is this. Queue at a lift, so they cannot take a patient recovering from brain surgery to the ICU? Netizens not understanding that brain damage takes priority over a broken arm? Let's not even talk about the transfer. It's just a plain stupid episode so far.

(in a real hospital there are enough lifts and if not people with minor issues can just walk up the stairs.)

Personally I don't think it's a loss either way :P

Technically it's not banned, but you cannot access these websites thanks to the Great Chinese Firewall. So you can either use VPNs (illegally, or via a special license), or leave China and update Twitter before returning ^

Big celebrities might be allowed to use VPN for promotion purposes.

It's true.

it's about the same.

I can get onboard with this.

I think the netizens themselves don't know what they really want. We can even question if the netizens signing this petition are the people that actually watch dramas..

I'm fairly sure a factual documentary style drama that doesn't romanticize events would never get double digit viewership.

Intimacy does not happen before the second ML is told "let's break up" twice & then FL tells second ML's father that they are done too..
