Is this a spinoff of another series or a pre-established universe? I get the sense I should already be familiar…
update: now that I've caught up to ep 6..
Knight and Mud(?) fighting has gotten old and that rape allegation was a weird pivot. So not the way to make the dull pair interesting! Surely it'll turn out to be some unfounded misunderstanding of epic proportions (right?!) but jokes on them because Knight comes across as a bit of a creep either way!
Meanwhile Mid Mild's personality is now giving me whiplash. I was taken aback when he told off Knight's FWB because it felt wildly out of character for him to do so. Like who inhabited his body in that moment and where was that energy and personality hiding?
Per/Kan are still hilarious and charming. They are definitely carrying this series.
Is this a spinoff of another series or a pre-established universe? I get the sense I should already be familiar with some of these characters yet I'm not.
In any case... Per/Kan > Knight/Mild
I only just finished episode 3 so it's still early enough for my mind to change but so far the Mild character (and Knight by extension) is fast-forward worthy dull. What does Knight even see in him?!
Per/Kan are hilarious though! They've single-handedly made these first few episodes worth watching for me. Heck, even Tim/Klah are more interesting than Knight/Mild and they've had little to no screen time!
So I jumped right into Love in Translation after finishing Century of Love recently and was caught off guard by how different he looks in both of those roles. I almost can't believe it's the same guy!
This series is way too good (so far) for its visuals to be wasted on a low-end streaming platform like Tencent. How the heck did WeTV end up with the exclusive on this when iQ exists? KP is still a high performing series for the latter so it seems crazy to think they wouldn't have wanted this for their platform. Unless BOC's deal with WeTV had been locked in from the OG concept pitch? I could understand iQ passing on that version. But this? No way!
In any case... these streaming services need to up their quality game and invest more into the overall functionality of their apps. Maybe I'm spoiled but 1080p is not cutting it for me if the option for 4K is available and most of the apps - particularly those for TV (Apple TV, Roku, etc) - are so badly built they can't even do basic things like 'add to watch list' (Tencent) or edit the appearance of subtitles (iQ) or even remember where you left off (Viki) 😭
That's your opinion, many others liked.Don't get the need to come announce something if you disliked the series.…
The original comment wasn't the least bit hateful though. I get wanting to defend your favorite series but pick your battles.
You're not respectful of other positions, as evidenced by your handful of replies as of late. You preach for people to 'ignore & move on' if they don't like something yet absolve yourself from doing the same. So yeah, the hypocrisy is blinding.
If you think my pointing out the obvious to you is an investment of any kind then so be it. Hopefully we'll have a better love story than Khanin + Charan 💕
Sure, but you'd be hard pressed to find many series on iQ with a rating outside of the 9s lol. For example, much…
"Would be nice if they actually watched the show before they made it."
Once again you're assuming they didn't watch...
"People don't continue to watch TV shows they hate."
Some sure, but certainly not ALL people. Many want to finish what they started. Many continue watching hoping to see improvement. I am one of those people.
Look, I'm not going to argue with you any further. I had seen you say you wanted discourse and active discussions a few times in this comment section, and even used the lack thereof as a proof of people not having watched, but it's clear you do not actually want that at all. You have a very fixed view on this and that's fine but know that that is more than likely the reason people refrain from "discussions" with you, because there is virtually no point as you do not make it easy or even worthwhile to do so. Your mind is made up. You do not want to hear anything else and refuse to believe anything else unless it affirms your bias rationale, which is again all fine and well and dandy, but please don't pretend you're open to discussions.
You should openly enjoy TNP. Wax poetry about how much you love it praise it for how good you believe it to be. And you should leave others to hate on it in the same vein because that's what THEY feel. MDL is an open forum for discussion, not an echo chamber yet you seem to be on a relentless crusade to invalidate the viewing experiences and differing opinions of others. And for what? I don't know or care anymore and you probably don't either.
ramil and paytai had the best relationship icl, i was invested and it actually felt like a drama with them. can't…
Agree! There was an air of mystery to the characters and their relationship from the very first scene so my interest was piqued and held throughout! Sad they were done so dirty by the end.
Product placements have really gotten out of hand in these series lol. They aren't even trying for subtlety anymore. It's ridiculous.

Respectfuly, I think you're making a lot of assumptions but do you. Some of my favorite series have lower scores on here too but I'm not losing sleep over it or working overtime to explain it away.
People like what they like and dislike what they dislike and that's that, or at least it should be but you seem to be suspicious of anyone who didn't love this as if it's the biggest impossibility in the world for anyone to feel anything negative about it at all.
You're entitled to feel that way and harp on it and comment as much as you desire of course but just know it hasn't gone unnoticed that you're in every comment's replies trying to debate some of the more negative views expressed here and that's far more than any trolls who may or may not be downvoting this for lolz are doing.
But again, by all means continue doing you. This is a space for open discussion and commentary after all. I just think you're making this space a little hostile when you try to debate and negate the feelings of others and write them off as haters for not sharing your POV from jump. Hopefully something to think about it?
With that said, I very much appreciate your comments with info about OSTs and Zee/Nu 💕
Seriously though, AoF needs to put you on the payroll if you aren't on it already 🤣
Just FYI, TNP has a 9.8 rating on IQIYI. So in other words a really high rating among people who actually watched…
Sure, but you'd be hard pressed to find many series on iQ with a rating outside of the 9s lol. For example, much like TNP "Dear Doctor, I'm Coming for Soul" has a 7.7 rating on here and a 9.6 on iQ.
other examples: "Sunset x Vibes" - 6.8 here, 9.6 on iQ "Suntiny" - 6.5 here, 9.4 on iQ "The Middleman's Love" - 6.4 here, 9.6 on iQ "For Him" - 6.2 here, 9.5 on iQ "Dinosaur Love" - 5.9 here, 9.3 on iQ "Check Out" - 5.6 here, 9.4 on iQ
So yeah, TNP is certainly no outlier there. Unless we're supposed to consider all of those series worthy of near 10s as well?
Also, iQ is a hot mess with a lot of broken features in general so I personally wouldn't put much stock in their ratings system for that reason alone.

I'm done complaining.
Is it Saturday yet? 🤣

Why did you?
I merely pointed out your hypocrisy.
You're the one taking the remark to heart.
Try taking your own advice.
