chu zhao is so annoying, such a rat he is I skipped his scenes
Great! I am wacthing this one now, and noticed that his character is a wasted character. If you were to remove him from the story, nothing relevant would change...
The drama started off really strong. The beginning hooked me right away. But then it lost momentum with the whole…
I hate love triangles because most of them seem to be designed just to cause discomfort and introduce an obstacle for the main couple. I do believe that a good writer can introduce any possible trope as long as it fits within the story and serves a purpose to move things forward, but unfortunately, this trope is mainly used to create tension, and yes, to reintroduce the trope several times throughout stories. The love triangles get so much attention that certain shows will even promote the show with social media presence and promotions involving the actors that played the female lead and the second male lead, and others are more daring and do photos and videos of the three (ML, FL and SML).
The love triangle trope in way too many dramas is unnecessary for the plot, character development or the romance, but still, they get a bunch of screentime, dedicated scenes and sometimes things get so ridiculous that there is even some kind of break up/farewell exclusive scene for the second male lead even when he never had any relationship with the female lead.
I genuinely think that most of these love triangles that serve no real purpose are designed for two targets. The first target is people who likes love triangles, maybe because they fantasize with two very hot guys obsessively pursuing one girl, and the second target is people like me to make us uncomfortable on purpose to increase engagement with the show and social media about the show by keeping us talking about how annoying this is for the people that only want what romance is for, for the main couple, for the protagonists.
That other response isn’t accurate. She actually spends a lot of time with the SML, sharing drinks with him,…
Good Point! I just started watching this, so I don't know who to side in this thread yet, but regardless, it is good to recognize that every scene has a purpose in a show, and specially in Dramaland. It is not an exaggeration to say that a smile and spending time with a guy carries emotions, since we all should know by now how relevant small gestures are in K-Dramas and C-Dramas. The fact alone of the camera focusing on something specific means something, and a girl's smile towards something that the production has made sure that the viewer know that has a romantic interest on the girl is not a coincidence, and is meant to show that she is at least comfortable with the guy's approach. I do hope that this is something small, or I'll end up skipping or dropping if it is too bad.
It's not a love triangle but a one sided love. And that one sided love needs to be hit with a touch of reality…
I don't understand why there are so many people who either genuinely do not know what a love triangle is or are lying to themselves. I like to do some research about the dramas that I want to watch, and part of that is reading comments, but we cannot trust anyone anymore just claiming that the show has no love triangles only to have love triangles all over the show.
You are correct, a love triangle is whenever two people an interested in the same person, and you know that this is intentional because every scene in a show or movie has meaning, and in Dramaland you can tell whenever the production shines a light on a love triangle from scenes like the other guy seeing the girl in slow motion to literally fighting for the girl with the actual boyfriend later on.
Me too. The SML is so annoying just like all SML'S. And here also there are so many simps supporting him and crying…
It doesn't matter of the guy sold her soul for the girl, since he is not the protagonist... You don't like someone because they "sacrificed", but because you like the person and have feelings for that person ...
Did FL had any feelings for SML ?If not why people saying SML sacrificed and let her go ? Actually did he ever…
This is yet another case of Second Lead Syndrome. For these people, it doesn't matter what the girl choice is because they like the other guy and they decided that they should be together, even though the guy is not the protagonist, therefore, he is not meant to be with her anyway...
I'll wait until all episodes are out! Good luck to the valiant vanguard that is brave enough to watch this as episodes come out! We, the ones to must know if the story will have a happy ending, how bad the love triangle is and if there will be any break up, we thank you for your service!!
seriously!! like this grown ass man had beef with an orphaned child (for being immature bc, duh, a child??) and…
The poor kid was an orphan and was going through hard times, but instead of trying to educate him, they antagonize him to a point that they forced "a child" to experience abandonment all over again, face the world alone from a young age, only to make it as an amazing adult but have the same adults that could have been his guide as a person and athlete to blame him for the mistakes of a child... that makes no sense to me.
I feel weird about the plot point of the relationship between the ML and his teacher, where the ML has to one-sidedly…
I couldn't agree more! Even FL's mother and her sister in the present speak about him like he assaulted someone and nobody observe the most relevant point, which is that he was a child!!
