The fact that you think a show's genre is what dictates whether or not it deserves a 10 tells me everything I need to know. A romcom is just as capable of being well-written as a slow burn/slice of life, and both are equally as capable of being badly written too. Sorry to break it to you, but your psuedo-intellectualism is not going to make this drama any better than a 7/10.

Keep stalking my list to defend this badly written drama. Not weird at all. If you stalk it some more you’ll see that I like all genres, including rom-coms, if the writing is good. Good writers understand story structure and has characterization with believable goals, motivations, and conflicts, which is more than I can say for this drama. I see you’re the type of viewer who thinks a show has to move at a glacial pace and slap a ridiculous a pink filter over everything to be “deep” and “perfect”. But it takes a lot more than that to tell a good story from start to finish, maybe you’ll learn that one day.

I don’t need to be reminded of what happened in this drama. I already know what happened because I watched it and gave it a 7/10 for subpar writing. I can’t take anyone seriously who would call this “perfect”. 😂

I understand the characters just fine. This show is not that deep. It’s also not that good. Like I said, 7/10 for subpar storytelling, and that’s me being generous.

She was also worried about hurting the ML. Either way, the conflict was not strong enough to justify all the drama, which is why her family’s reaction also felt over the top when they learned the truth and her sister became unbearable to watch because of it. It all felt very artificial. The writer should’ve done a better job developing this conflict or raising the stakes if she was going to drag it out for 16 episodes. I was rolling my eyes HARD by the end of it, which is a shame because I had enjoyed it up until then.
Lost interest at the end because the "big secret" was dragged out for way too long and it wasn't even serious enough to justify all that drama. It honestly wasn't that big of a deal, so this is bad writing in my book. We all knew the ML would forgive her in two seconds, so the stakes felt low. They dragged it so much that it got extremely annoying and I couldn't even fully appreciate their beautiful love scene because of all the dumb lies that were still unresolved. Of course, her telling him the truth would've ended the story which is exactly what should've happened. Should've ended at 12 episodes instead of 16. 16 was totally unnecessary and dampened what could've been a great show. 7/10.
Is it me or does anyone feel like that today's audience is more critical of nudity or sex scenes than decade earlier…
Yes, and from what I can tell, it's mostly non-Asians who just discovered kdramas a few years ago that love to swarm in and project this weird purity/morality onto the entire Asian race, even though Asians have been making movies with sex and nudity since the beginning of time.
This drama really creeps up on you. After I finished it I was sure I didn't like it but then found myself still thinking about it days later. It's VERY SLOW to an annoying degree, but despite that, there is something about the characterization that is strong and impactful. Unfortunately, there's no way I can rewatch this because it really is painfully slow, so I'll never get a chance to explore why it was so gripping to me after the fact. I'd say it's worth the watch though.
EDIT: a month after watching this show I still come back to rewatch. Not the whole show, but certain scenes. There are a couple of scenes in this show that are very powerful, one of a kind, and something I've never seen duplicated in any other drama. Nothing else comes close to the raw intimacy and yearning in some of these scenes. Without me even realizing, this show has become the benchmark for which I measure every other show I watch, it's like a spell has been cast on me lol. So I'm raising my rating for this show to a 10 for this reason.
Lee Min Ho has given three flops back to back.THE KING. It's internationally famous but still flopPACHINKO- has…
Pachinko is excellent. Viewership has no correlation to the quality of a show. For example, shows like My Demon have great ratings and are absolute garbage.
I live for this level of angst. And the legal cases didn't bore me either which is rare for me. Excellent writing. Phenomenal acting. Especially the two main leads. I'm starting to realize I have a very different idea of what "romance" is than most people on here. Everyone says this show has no romance, but in my opinion, it's dripping with it. They showed how much they loved each other in literally every episode, in so many different ways. The chemistry was off the charts.
