I just can't get over the fact that FL's chemistry is so much better with 2ML. Cause we at least see some emotions on his face.
The main actor was okayish in AoS, in a support role, but he just does not have the ability to carry this drama as the main lead. He has one face and one voice, even for a person who's been through a lot and is an outsider, that's just too flat... I'm not trying to hate, I rarely talk about the quality of acting, but here it's just too apparent and is killing my vibe...
Meanwhile: "Disney Korea’s OTT Content Team Disbanded, 2024 K-Drama Lineup at Risk of Cancellation" https://kbizoom.com/disney-koreas-ott-content-team-disbanded-2024-k-drama-lineup-at-risk-of-cancellation/
"However, Disney Plus has not yielded satisfactory results in proportion to the investment made." - maybe because they still haven't released some of their dramas worldwide, like Revenant... but it's interesting, that amidst the actors/screenwriters strike in US they decided tk abandon their korean content right now. Makes sense that it's not bringing them major money, but doesn't make sense that they never even gave a proper try to market kdramas.
Parents are the leads, kids are minor characters so in future you will only be disappointed if you expect major…
Ehhh... I am already disappointed if you haven't read my opinion. If they make show about adults, please explain to me why for 1/3 of the show the teenagers are the main leads. Why not let the adults be the leads from the beginning and make everybody confused. That's my exact point - the shift of focus was too abrupt and too long.
I know I'm getting dragged for saying this but I still have problems with the plotting. We had seven episodes…
Agreed. I feel like from last week I've been watching stand-alone 2ep movies, which are fine I guess, it's similar to what Marvel does, but it's not a movie collection, it's a series. If at least half of this eps was actual work in the agency or sth, maybe I would be bothered less. But as you said, those flashbacks within flashbacks are too much, they try to bring tension into these episodes, but in my eyes, fail to do so. The tension and high stakes are in the present and those episodes do not bring anything new to the table. Also the love story feels out of place, as if to give us at least some romance instead of bringing the rest of the characters in.
I feel like it's a completely different story from the teenagers' one, and no matter how many people say 'it was the parents story from the beggining', it just doesn't make sense to me. If it's about parents, make it about parents from the beginning, why confuse us and leave us hanging out here dry for 4 weeks straight.
I'm gonna throw myself under the bus here, but these 2 eps were ok, but nothing special. I feel it was very unnecesary to focus once again on a love story that this time we know definitely will not come back (also the chemistry was meh...) I thought that at least these 2 episodes will focus on working within the agency, to give us more understanding of it but no. They basically give no further insight to the conflict in the present time. I think we learnt very little new things about the ML - we already knew from the present that he's invincible, and that he will give up anything for his loved ones. Sure it was nice to see him as this big softie. But in terms of plot, these episodes were nothing new or groundbreaking. I think they could have just been condensed to half an episode and then the rest show us the actual work within the agency, which we have barely seen at this point.
Before I get comments like 'don't watch if you don't like it' - I LOVED the present part. Not only the teenagers, but their relationships with the parents. So I'm waiting for that. These episodes were ok, not bad, they do not make me want to drop this show, but make me much less excited for what's to come. I just don't feel any depth in those 2-eps mini stories when we get very little character development that we already didn't know of.
idk both Heroes and Lost were both essentially structured in a similar way, they'd focus on certain characters…
If the kids would be in the background at least, I would be happy. I remember the case of The Walking Dead, where in the latter seasons they split the main team into different locations and then decided to do 3-5 episodes 'story arcs' where only one location appears. It led to the fans waiting for weeks until their favourite character comes back on screen. It was a universally hated decision.
The backstories are like half of the original webtoon's story and I believe its context is essential before the…
Oh no... Then I feel like they should have just made the drama 16 eps about adults in the past, and then the next season about adults+kids. That way we have some tension in both timelines...
You don’t like the flash back, but they could have done the tradition route and start chronologically (which…
How am I wrong that people are attached to the kids, if I'm one of those people? I didn't watch trailers, or interviews, I just watched the show and while I understand that initial premise (first 1-2 eps) could be about one thing and then it turns to be about completely other thing, it was 7 eps. How could I suspect that it will change completely after those 7 eps, am I obliged to read the webtoon?
Also about kids' romance going nowhere. It was already confirmed that there were a lot of scenes between them added to the drama. I'm not saying 'I want kids' romance or this drama is crap', but I want the characters I learnt to love to come back earlier than 2-3 weeks from now...
if you read properly they are all main characters also logically, there is no way jo insung, hyojoo and ryu seungryong…
It is that serious when people time and time again come to a drama and expect that information on MAL or other fanmade sites is 100% accurate. It is not. The tags are sometimes misleading, not complete, the cast is in a different order. The timer of airing is f up a lot. Everybody has to learn in this age of fake news that we have to do research and not trust everything that we see online.
