Unidentifiable

Theory post ep 5:

For a supposedly competent lawyer, the FL is really quite terrible at arguing.

Agreed. Parts of this drama I find so-so, but that was brilliant. An absolute breath of fresh air.

"I find" implies this is my perspective. Also, I am watching all ongoing kdramas rn, aside from Little Women and that contract marriage one. So most, but not all. I said "one of the more", not "the most", so there's room for error.

I don't find Blind particularly intense because 1) I'm not invested in the characters and 2) I'm fully expecting it to go off the rails, because there's been some small examples of poor quality writing/directing. I've seen a lot of dramas with this tone, so not particularly engaging (for me).

I'm not watching Little Women, probably one of the few dramas I'm not, because it just hasn't interested me. Besides, it's almost over.

Cheer Up mystery is not intense at all - the thriller aspects feel a bit goofy, in a ghost-story-around-the-campfire kind of way.

This drama has both high stakes and complex characters. It's a serious story with drama first and not much comedy. I find it easy to get invested in a scene, and anxious about the outcome. Therefore, it is pretty intense.

I find it's one of the more intense ones airing at the moment.

There was no romance with the female detective. She clearly liked him, but he never indicated that kind of interest, so it was one-sided. But he was clearly interested in Raika and Garo.

Hopefully they go down a more convincing route and realise that they've loved each other all along. Then again, no one is watching this for realism are they?

Agreed. It was an interesting concept, but no matter how the actors acted, the characters were just written so flatly. 12 hours, and I absolutely didn't care.

I'm an ace person who, like probably many others, didn't realise until pretty late. Growing up, I always assumed I was bi or something, as I noticed no preference for either gender, even though the label did not fit at all. Everyone around me completely failed to mention asexuality as an option - I first encountered the term down an internet rabbit hole reading fanfiction.

It's a pity I can't find this legally, a real shame. More people need to see it.

Agreed, I hate love triangles. But I was bored, so I started anyway.
The 2ml doesn't look like he stands much chance, and the ml is pretty great (though fl currently thinks he's a crazy weirdo) so I'm not disliking it. But it's very early days, so it's hard to tell.

I don't. We need more good mentor relationships - they are so rarely portrayed without unnecessary romance.

Okay, so K says goodbye in episode 12. The bad guy had been dealt with, and the trauma had been addressed. K was no longer needed. Idk, it didn't feel particularly permanent to me.

I'm an autistic person from a family of autistic people (seriously, everyone has been diagnosed) - one of whom also has an intellectual disability. The actor here does a commendable job, but watching how his autism and special interests are used basically as a plot device is physically painful. All the hype in the world is not letting me finish this.

High five, I have a similar disease. I drop 3/4 dramas I start.

It's gender stereotypes, that's what it is. Fortunately there's less possessive mls these days, but there's still a new one every few months. Possessive fls are still a rare breed, though I don't like them much either.

Biggest reason why Seung Chan stealing his identity doesn't make me too uncomfortable. Tae Yong may be a bit of a naïve, self-absorbed air-head (adorably so, and mostly a product of circumstance) but he deserves the chance for a loving family. And getting him away from his abusive real father is worth so much more than money.

2011

Did she actually call the police, or fake it? She knew that there'd be big trouble if they actually turned up and found Sung Joon. Also, there was no follow-up of them arriving.

I never called it a plot hole though. I just said it was a small detail that I didn't think was good quality.
