I really hope kdramas return to only having 1 season, a great drama doesn't need a less exciting sequel sigh.…
Romantic Doctor 2 was, in my opinion, more enjoyable than the first (I dropped the first). Hospital Playlist 2, being the kind of drama it was, maintained its heart-warming tone. Missing: The Other Side 2 was a bit more directionless than the first, but still wonderful.
I agree though, that sequels are usually flops. Stranger 2, Good Detective 2, and others weren't very good.
Does Cha Eun Jae get any better? Her character for the first few episodes is really frustrating me because she…
She does! First time I watched this, she was the final straw that made me drop the drama, but I gave it (and her) a second chance and ended up enjoying it. I'm still a bit ambivalent towards her actress, and I don't love her character, but she grows a huge amount. And she's very human. There are enough other likable characters that it becomes tolerable once her behaviour improves a bit.
Well, that ended on a cliff-hanger like I expected. But episode 6 was also a bit of a... well you could feel it wrapping up the first arcs, so it didn't exactly feel incomplete. April 7th is not too far away, fortunately.
Otherwise, it was very fun. I do love serious and intense detective thrillers.
Why is SITR bashed so much???Can anyone tell me under/with spoiler?
Okay, I haven't finished it because it didn't really hook me in the first 3 episodes, so I'm probably not the best person to answer, but no one else has. The most common complaints are these: - The writing of the FL, she's apparently immature and and annoying, and many people don't understand why the ML likes her. - The FL's mother is the main antagonist. She's overbearing and unpleasant. - The ending, it was rushed and not satisfying.
My message to Soo-A's and the other mom's : Please go get a life
Their life is their children. And because they know their children won't magically become geniuses, they must put down all other children so theirs come out on top. I agree though, they don't add anything positive to their scenes and I'd like them to get as little screen-time as possible.
So keen for this, and to support PHS. This won’t be on Netflix right? Does Viki upload straight away? Or do…
Upload speeds depend greatly on the drama. Often, they take longer than Netflix would (but the subtitles are better). You will only be able to access the first two episodes without the pass.
Oh, I will admit this is a rather dark drama..as in cinematography. ..especially, when you have scenes with JGS..what's…
Yeah, the night-time scenes are... almost impossible to see. I need to turn my screen brightness up so I don't strain my eyes. This is some of the worst I've seen. I like most of the rest of the drama though, so I tolerate it.
The ending is such a mess. It ruined a lot for me. A great drama should stick the landing, and as a result, this one is merely good. Also, there are so many great thrillers, I do not agree with people calling this "the best." It's simply the highest rated on this site where ratings mean very little.
Before it was her at the office preparing for her two weeks vacation, telling her secretary not to contact her…
I like that first ending more. I haven't watched this since it aired though, so I can't recall actually seeing it - all I remember is that it was a HE.
This one has become my favorite Kdrama up until this point, which is bad, because any other drama will feel bland…
When this happens, I find it best to dramatically switch genres for a while (Like, to non-romantic thrillers). Then there's less inclination to spot comparisons.
I don't know why people keep saying that they don't feel any chemistry between FL and ML. In my opinion, their…
I'm not even feeling that, and I'm looking for it. That's my favourite kind of chemistry, but for me to feel that I also need to feel a kind of trust between them, which I don't. The ML buying the building without telling the FL, for example, wasn't sweet, it made me uncomfortable. The ML is also just a really prickly person, so I don't know when he's going to say or do something thoughtless/hurtful and it means that for a lot of their scenes I'm on edge, waiting for the other shoe to drop (even when it doesn't). The FL too, I've liked this actress before, but idk, somehow I'm not convinced here. I feel like the leads are on different pages, and therefore that "natural and warm" feeling is not present for me.
