How badly does the admin want to shit-talk abou QoT? I thought articles were for news updates? Isn't there a seperate place in MDL for reviews? This doesn't seem like an article but rather a hate post. Please write reviews if you want to hate a show so badly. And since you are writing this shitpost on QoT I'm assuming you will do the same for every other existing drama? Because apparently now article is a new place for reviewing!! Or did you specifically want to target QoT because it's gaining popularity? Let it be. If it's gainig popularity surely there is a reason. You don't have to hate on it so bad that you make an entire article about it
This review is the honest and objective review I have read so far. I agree with everything you said but I would like to add that I felt even the side characters weren't as interesting as other viewers claimed them to be. In the first half of the story, the couple had so much chemistry but the second half fell flat. The most frustrating scenes were when they were holding hands on the bed after declaring their love for one another. I mean, they don't have to do anything, but you could at least make them hug. I personally felt, the leads didn't behave like a couple at all, more like siblings, and sometimes like strangers.

It’s weird that people think a disclaimer protects the article from disagreement and love to make these passive-aggressive…
I happen to think it's weird when people take criticism as hate (which has happened a lot in comment sections regarding theis show), but to each their own. Disagreement is not equal to hating or anger, which is what I was refering to in my original comment anyways.
This is the absolute best documentary on China's artists and artisans. Short of visiting China, there is nothing better. However, casting Zhang Nan and Sun Yihan in it, is probably the only reason most people are watching it all and I don't think they say more than 50 words to each other in the entire series. I cannot think of any series or movie that has shown a bigger waste of talent.
The other person they are prosecuting in this case is suspected to be his gay lover, and best friend. I have a…
I also couldn't help but notice the correlation between the entertainment industry's first gay scandal/rumor and the harshness of punishment.... They are making an example of him or at minimum the prosecutor is a bigot who cannot be objective, suggesting to give worse sentence to YAH (than Seungri etc.) for possibly being gay....
The other person they are prosecuting in this case is suspected to be his gay lover, and best friend. I have a sick feeling about why the justice system want to throw the book at them with the knowledge that if he becomes a convicted felon, he'll never have an acting career again in South Korea.
I don't remember the justice system calling those involved in the Burning Sun Scandal "reprehensible". I'm trying to rack my brain as to why they refer to acts that only serve to hurt Yoo Ah In himself and no one else personally, as "reprehensible". But acts that literally destroyed the lives of various women were covered up by cops and allowed to go on for years, until a few suicides and actions put the spotlight on South Korea by foreigners who started to ask questions, followed by the #MeTo movement. It simply baffles the mind at what South Korean justice finds horrible and what they're okay with... especially when they ended up giving substantially reduced sentences to these gentlemen. Hell, Seungri was given THREE years for his involvement, and it was later reduced to 18 months. But they want FOUR years for Yoo Ah In???? What a freaking joke.
If someone goes through this comment section they'll probably be pretty tired reading about the same thing over and over again, but all I can do is repeat that this was pretty mediocre at best, except for the two leads. Even they weren't especially well written, but their chemistry was really good and I liked how natural their acting was. Their colleagues also get a passing grade, they were at least entertaining a few times, but everything and everyone else is pretty badly written. In which parallel universe does this take place where foreign people come into a country, just ignore every (labor) law and handle everything according to what's "normal" in their own country? Also, their decisions in the last episode didn't make any sense to me, especially because of how it ended.
I‘m so over dramas and movies where (male) characters only learn to respect women by experiencing the sexism and discrimination themselves. It’s taking away personal responsibility not to be a douche. Scriptwriter who still write stories like this have a lot of internalized misogyny.

Stuff like this blows my mind. People will acknowledge the message of the movie and then turn around and say everyone gets treated exactly the same, and that historically things between men and women "go both ways" even though being a man never automatically made you property at any point in history lol.
I also dislike when people call bigotry a "mistake". It makes it sound like some harmless, cute thing when it is in fact a mindset, and a way of life that's supported by active choices. Yes, people can change and it's wonderful when it happens, but I've noticed the language surrounding the change is always very mild, and almost infantile as if these aren't grown people who had hate in their heart. Nope. Bigotry is an itty bitty mistake the person didn't mean to make.
I'm seeing lots of people saying that this drama is boring and something like this. Well, I respect other's people opinion, but the thing is: this drama is very different... I mean... the concept of this drama is different. It's very focused on business, big companies, ceos, money that never ends... So, if you don't like these kind of things you would probably think that this drama is freaking boring. But if you like these things I've mentioned, then you will certainly enjoy this drama. Also, the female characters are very strong. They are different from the kind of roles that we have in usual dramas... like... When the two main female characters are talking, they barely talk about men or a specific man or something like that... They talk about plans, about themselves, about other stuff... So, for me, it's a very good drama, but only if you're looking for a drama different than usual.
