Due to midterms I had to keep my head down for a few weeks. Coming back to this show and finding out about KJS and the ML switch is like that Community gif where Troy comes back with pizza to find the apartment on fire.
That being said I loved In Woo in Mr. Queen (in that I loved to hate his character) so I’m looking forward to this :)
The visual of Park Shin Hye bopping along to BTS in a post apocalyptic world with her bedazzled automatic rifle is an image I didn't know I needed until now.
I'm sorry, but you think this show accurately portrays coding? Korean dramas are notorious for neglecting technical…
By "accurately portrays coding", I mean when the guys are working on a program the screen doesn't show a bunch of flashy pop-ups and quickly scrolling code. They show them using Python, an ACTUAL computer language in an ACTUAL terminal shell.
Tv shows like to toss around words like "AI" and "machine learning" like it's a magical fix all. But in this show they use it in the context it was meant. Do San's Tarzan analogy was spot on. During the hackathon they mention using a Sandbox database as their training data, which is again accurate. They even imported scikit learn which has a large database of machine learning libraries.
I never said the show was focused on the technical aspect. In fact, I really wish they would focus less on the triangle and more on the actual business side. But that being said, what they HAVE shown of the technical side has been more accurate than many tv shows, both Korean and American.
*Deep breath* Can we take a step back for a minute? I love watching dramas, and I love being on this site so I can discuss them with other drama lovers. Comment sections are fun, especially for on going shows because it offers a chance for people to discuss theories and swoon over characters. But it’s disheartening when things regress to a bitching match about who should end up with who. Of course it’s fun to debate, and obviously there are going to be characters that you just can’t stand. But that doesn’t give people the right to drag the fans of those characters through the mud.
All three leads have good qualities and bad. Ji Pyung is more mature, which is evident in this last episode when he sat down and plainly told Dal Mi how he felt about her. That whole scene was a masterpiece in my opinion. He also has been helping her achieve her dream every step of the way. But he also created this whole mess, and didn’t really consider her feelings until recently (in the beginning he was doing it for the grandma, which isn’t a bad thing, just shortsighted). And until this episode he wanted to tell her the truth for HIM, not her.
Do San isn’t as mature as Ji Pyung and still as a lot to learn. Again, as evident in how he handled this last episode. Again, wanted to keep things a secret for HIM. But he also cares a lot about the feelings of those around him. He’s awkward and dorky and always tries his best, whether in coding or personal life. As a woman who works in STEM, do you know how rare it is to find someone THAT good at what they do who isn’t an arrogant ass? I mean, the man takes out his frustrations in KNITTING for gods sake.
And then there’s Dal Mi. This woman lost nearly everything, and she’s still out there trying to achieve her dream. Of course she’s not the best CEO. She’s still learning and figuring things out, and keeps failing and trying again. She found who she thought was the one person (besides grandma) who was there for her. She was finally achieving her dream and found someone she really likes. But then that entire reality was shattered, so she’s going to question everything she’s ever believed in. Even herself.
I was really looking forward to getting on this page to see the discussion after that plot twist. I mean, who saw that coming? But instead, we’re all arguing over ML vs. SML, and how anyone who disagrees with our choice is stupid. There were plenty of shows in the past that shoved the love triangle in our faces WAY more than this show does, and yet the comments didn’t get nasty. Can we just take a step back to breathe? And appreciate how this show accurately portrays coding for once?
