Ep 11 wow

No sympathy for anyone of the 3 except the dad. That's just brutal.
The son has an inferiority complex. Whining and keeping things to himself. I felt some super cringe when he rolled up to the venue as a driver
Just wow. Then wallows in his self-pity yet again. He was much more open with his gf as friends before they got together. She's too good for him.
And finally FL.........That's also on her. She knows it at least. Things would have been so different had she told ML what his ex was doing stirring trouble up. This branch of the story is kind of worthless and the least interesting.
All 3 constantly hide their feelings. Basically they just keep sabotaging their own happiness. Let's see how it ends ~

Nice! 🤣

I appreciate the reply more than you know. Informative and useful, I really can't tell at times if some remarks come from true sincerity or a personal bias.

I guess you get used to it to some degree, it's to be expected nowadays. But names like KHY can bring the worst of both sides. I'm not new to the site but a little more active in as of late with a little bit more time on my hands and I found myself getting distracted with the back and forth commentary. They're like mini dramas unto themselves!!

Jesus...........Big names always have the die hard hate watchers side by side w/ *speak no evil* fanatics. Both are popping off right now. It's almost impossible to leave genuine feedback nowadays. Haters are a bit difficult to identify............but *speak no evil* peeps out themselves everytime, especially when they're running a bunch of bot accounts.
These comments man.........if your saying ANYTHING that has the remote possibility of dislike/disfavor being shown the cast or the drama itself, comments directed at you are derogatory, insulting, done with haste as in almost immediately, and you are labeled a hater. The kicker? It's all being done from the same 2 or 3 accounts.
So tell me, how is one supposed to comment and discuss aspects of the drama when you get trashed for not having the same opinion? If you see
things in a different light? A different interpretation? Because I could have sworn that's the reason why we have these forums in the first place. At least that's why I'm here. I love discussion boards because ppl can and DO see things differently at times, sometimes you want to know why. Different trains of thoughts. I think a LOT of us feel like this. But I don't come here to be bashed for thinking differently, the least ppl can do is ask why instead of immediately hurling insults.

I was looking at comments here and of course we've the usual haters and *fluffers* going at each other. I will ALWAYS put my foot down on the belief that a drama shouldn't be dismissed after only 2 eps. It's not enough. Personally, I think 4 is minimum for 10/12 and at least 6 for ones 14 eps and up.
So ppl are commenting after 2. Bad chemistry, bad acting , bad story, Lomon is not good etc.......and insults are flying like normal from the hardcore fans. But guess what ppl? It goes BOTH ways.

If you're berating ppl over this stuff saying 2 isn't enough to criticize and drop and all that, why is it ok for YOU to do the exact same thing but with a positive spin? "Oh the chemistry is perfect. The story is wonderful. The story is a masterpiece. It should be rated higher than it is. KHY is a perfect gumiho" etc..........Do you see what I'm getting at? You get after ppl for having a bias, yet you're approaching them in the
same manner from the opposite side and that's where I gotta draw the line because it feels very much like hypocrisy.

I am not a bot, I am not a hater, I am
definitely not a troll, we know they exist
and there are some in this very room. I'm just a person who wants to talk Kdrama w/o my head being ripped off for thinking differently. I know I'ma get bashed for this remark but meh, it's how I feel. It's easy to sit there and call someone a hater
but if it stems from a place of hypocrisy?
That's WORSE. C'yall after EP3.

Ohh! The character of eunho, who cares if she's been around forever, she's insufferable ewww. How old did they say she is?

Twice the number of reactions/likes

Yup, that's 'flix for ya 😂

Whoa..... idk what's worse. All these brand new bot accounts with no dramas watched but lots of likes trashing KHY......or the fact that there's also twice the number of brand new bot accounts no dramas watched with waaaaay more likes praising and fluffing the actress.
I mean REALLY PEOPLE?!?! Why?? I just don't get why BOTH sides would take the time to do something so asinine and stupid. Just watch the dam thing 🙄

Her lines and actions feel a little bit stiff and unnatural. Or forced might be a better description.

But character wise..........From the way her parents are, looks like the writer is setting that bit of the story to have that hardcore bias towards kids and teens who are orphans or missing a parent. It's just flat out wrong and I HATE when that crops up Kdramas. I don't mind their back and forth for the moment, it's obvious they like each other but the parents are gonna try to shut it down with the usual "your better than them" or "they will drag you down" or "They're the reason you're not #1". Ewww

That's just wrong and evil to give them all that kind of crisis at the end. Whew..........the dads thing was the worst. The brother can get money from the dad and/or sister but I'm guessing that contest money will go towards the teaching position of his gf wins.
And why didn't this guy shut his ex down immediately about getting back together? I'm thinking the *timing" will be perfect for his surprise, otherwise that's just looks like a red flag giving the ex hope.

Ohhh.......There are solid comments here in response but this is GOOD. I know I'm a fledgling way behind others in terms of content viewed but I NEVER considered this part here, I like this answer the best.
Your right, branching outside of SK offers the chance to write and tell stories broadcasters there can't or won't take a chance on. It definitely explains the different nuances between stand alones and the side by side releases. I'm content 👌

I've been laughing. His pre death persona was tight lipped, immaculately dressed, and no hair out of place.
Now you can see he's REALLY having a good time with all the previous knowledge, dressed casually for comfort, but the kicker is that hair that's all disheveled and out of place. So when he's smirking and acting mischievously? It's so funny 🤣

Idk about this. As an American , I love Kdrama. It's all I watch outside of sports.
But when it comes to the kind of content that's deemed acceptable to watch and view, Korea and the US are on opposite sides of the spectrum and it's a large gap. It's easy to see why since the values the bulk of each populations holds dear are absolutely different.
SBS and the dramas that will air are flat out going to bank. No doubt about it. My only concern is that to get the $$ that will be available, I think there's a high probability SK's talent will tailor stories to fit American preferences and that is something I do NOT want to see.
I didn't realize it until I started watching older dramas from Netflix catalog, I saw that it's already happened. It's not all bad. It's just that dramas that streamed side by side w/ Netflix have a different feel and taste as opposed to something that only airs on SBS or JTBC. Why? Cuz they have a huge viewing base and that means $$.
So yea, Americans want more Kdrama and It's not uncommon anymore to see them stream side by side with distributors outside SK. Amazon, Netflix, even Disney etc.....are adding and expanding their catalogs of Korean content. They were/are masters in the art of telling stories long before those stateside ever knew. Nowadays, it's been slipping in favor of slop that just sells.
Do y'all think this newest and latest team up will be good or will stories degrade further? Or just something to be unconcerned with? Genuinely curious.

That's the one. Tyty! I liked it. Wife HATED it. 😂

Is Prime included with that or is it a separate statistic? I really don't know. But I've been seeing and reading articles that their writers are not as worried as they used to be about domestic viewerships if it's a side by side stream with Netflix or Prime. The cuts received from the masses on those platforms more than makeup if it's suffering at home. All about the money. It's even MORE money if they buy a presentation and more than that is if they actually outright commission for something. That's SUPER rare though. Idk though, can't blindly believe everything read online is truth but it kind of
makes sense, then I don't blame the writers for tailoring scripts that have more appeal outside of Korea. That's where the $ are at.
Lol, as soon as I had that thought, it made me realize immediately why Western propaganda has been flooding into their dramas the last few years.

Can't remember the drama offhand.....but it was a genius neuro surgeon and psychopath who also killed ppl to "save lives" when In actuality it was more or less to satisfy curiosity or if they annoyed her in some way? Something like that. But ya,
wife is a cardiologist and surgeon, we watch most med dramas when they air. She rages, picks apart, and destroys the inaccuracies most of them are full of while I get to laugh at her reactions. Let's see what happens in this one.

Nuuuuu! We've got the quintessential standardized vanilla flavored "Friend Zone vs Dream Guy" brawl huh? Why?!? Someone send strawberries to help stomach all this vanilla please? J/k we knew this was coming. xD
Shout-out to the ones below who predicted a fallout on his part from the fangirl discovery. Or at least it looks like that from the previews. These writers are notoriously good for getting us to think what's coming is completely different from what's implied. Let's see what happens!!

Nuuuuuu!! 😭 Of course it's the standard vanilla flavored "Friend Zone vs New Interest" brawl!! That's quintessential Kdrama without a doubt. Can someone plz send me some strawberries to help stomach all that vanilla? I'm drowning here!! J/k j/k lol. We all knew this was coming.
And kudos to the ones below who predicted a fallout from the fangirl thing. Or at least that's what it looks like from the preview. But idk, Korean writers are shady. 😂. They're absolutely notorious for misleading previews so let's see what happens~

Wheeeeee!! Seriously~
They've been short on supply nowaday. They need to start churning them out again

Lol.........I don't like her but I've no dislike for her either. How do I put it.......it's like there are other actresses that register on my radar before her? But I think all actors/actresses have at least a small group of haters or peeps that enjoy trolling just for the hell of it. It's dam near impossible to give clean, honest opinions since social media practically guarantees someone somewhere will clap back. That REALLY sucks 😞
