I wasn't a huge fan of how the drama undermines natural talent and tried to force the message that only studying is good, and it's the only way to salvation. MC for example has a natural talent in fighting and sport in general, yet no one from a young age tried to push him in that direction and was just: "study, study, study"
It's the same in Mob Psycho, Mob's natural talents are pushed aside and painted as bizarre and wrong and it tries to say that if Mob uses his powers to get ahead in life it's unfair but if a person that is talented in sports uses their superior physique and genetic to get ahead it's fine.
Just finished it and was quite disappointed, I had heard a lot of good things and the rating was high too, but it wasn't entertaining at all, it was basically a very rushed introduction to the family and a couple of days in their life, that's it, nothing really "happened" without a season 2 this is a very mediocre 5/10 and half of that is for Bae Doo Na
this show is perfect example that 16 eps is an old format, romcoms are better off with 12
That depends on the drama and the story though, for example Love Next Door defiantly shouldn't have been this long and it got draggy fast, they ran out of stuff quick and had to resort to a tedious, annoying and boring love triangle to fill the run-time, but that was completely unnecessary, they should have focused on the couple and tried to establish some tension and attraction between them in order to get the chemistry going but even though they had the time they chose to focus on other stuff and the couple's relationship felt quite abrupt and sudden.
I'm rewatching right now and I'm reminded again how much I hated the unnecessary love triangle in this one, this is what the fast-forward button was invented for, I skip all of the SML's scenes and the drama jumps for me from a solid 6/10 to a 8/10 immediately.
what did you want to be explained more?(genuinely curious) I actually thought that compared to a lot of other…
most of these were explained in the show, some outright and some in much more subtle ways, I'm not really in the mood to write a whole essay but if you search in the comments, me and others have answered a lot of these things.
While it was a mysterious and nice series, i wished they dived more into the "light shop" origins and how it works.…
what did you want to be explained more?(genuinely curious) I actually thought that compared to a lot of other shows that always keep it vague, in light shop they were quite upfront about it
For me this was one of those dramas you avoid bc you don't believe you'll enjoy them. However, these past couple…
Yeah the time frame is insane, I've got a shit memory and daily consume a lot of dramas, movies, games, fanfiction and more, so by the time season 2 airs you can be damn sure I won't even remember what the plot of this was.
Yeah, I skipped most of the second couple's scenes cuz they didn't really make sense to me.
for sure, the seriousness was lacking hard, the writer presented us with a lot of serious and mentally taxing issues like PTSD, shouldering too much responsibility, familial neglect, sensory overload, getting taken advantage of as a woman, loss of family and probably more cuz these are the only ones I remember now. Having all of these in a single rom-com and one that's only 12 episodes is quite hard, but to downplay all of these and portray them in such a cheap way really irked me, it needed a lot more seriousness and a lot less village buffoonery, and to be honest as someone who deal with some of these issues on a daily basis, it was quite insulting.
how is this one? as a long time fan of PBY, I usually watch all of her stuff, but the "melo" in the title really scares me😱 is it sad? or is it light? I've been in a depressed mood lately, so can't really stomach sad and melodrama at the moment. happy ending?

The romance is between two of the couples and it's very sad but also very touching and heartwarming, I was crying so hard😭😭😭
So if you're not looking for something very heavy right now, I suggest watching it later, maybe after a tooth-rottingly sweet rom-com like LMLMV.
happy ending?
