I never said Bale/Adam was bad, I said, their acting were not enough to save the movies. And they are industry leaders in terms of performance.

With a good script even a mediocre actor can shine, like Myung soo in Angels last Mission. He is decent but Shin Hye sun is levels above so when they were together, it felt jarring. Yet the drama is nice.

I don't think that movie had any bright spots tbh, but yea, with a good story, I am sure RJE will do better. What I am saying is, Bale, Driver etc are acting titans and yet were not enough to lift those trainwrecks.

You can still watch it. It has a great start, and a pretty good end. In the middle, the showrunners experienced brain farts.

I think she's a decent actress it's just she chose questionable scripts in the recent years. She was pretty good in Our Beloved Summer and I absolutely loved her performance as Hong Si A in 18 again.

Sometimes, the acting prowess is not enough to salvage a weird script. Exhibit A, Christian Bale in Thor Love and Thunder. Adam Driver in Megalopolis. So on so forth..But I agree, she should take a break and reevaluate.

SK should learn a thing or two about propaganda dramas from China. At least they add heartwarming romance to their propaganda plots. This is not a bad show but the audience had expectations of cheesecake but somewhere along the way, the showrunners left them holding fruitcakes.

Yes there are much much worse with higher scores but I'd say for this one with hype, people had high expectations. That came down crashing leaving a bad taste. The score will stabilize after a long time but yea, bang average.

I liked the concept, but otherwise it's just a typical rom com. Nothing special.

So far it has been quite good and the Netflix release made it more accessible to casual viewers.

2026 had been so far underwhelming for the k- romance genre. I somehow endured Boyfriend on demand and Spring Fever. Okay shows.

Love Between Lines blew everything else out of the water, like how genuine and sincere the feelings were between the leads and how flawless the writing was, even though the plot is quite simple. Shine on Me was pretty good too. So many pretty people in that one, including the parents.
Love story in the 1970s, surprised me. Pretty good. Cdrama is on a roll.

You gotta wonder when China is producing better content with their 500 different censor laws.

Okay show but I have never cringed so hard at anything that I can think of, before this.

...be in peace, Lord Commander.

I think the correct term would be 'baffled', not upset.

Actors act out the scenes from the screenwriters. So unless the actors really suck, calling them out has no point. Unlike directors or writers. They deserve to be called out, specially when an episodic show goes south. Within limits ofc, nothing overboard is good.

People get upset for whatever these days ha.

Well, that's just your opinion. These both dramas were widely popular in terms of viewership and ratings hence, the awards. They weren't the best, but were very popular.

So many wrong statements in one paragraph, nice. I do agree, Love's Ambition was weird. But they had pretty good chemistry and Lusi had probably the best wardrobe and one of the best performances of her career there.
Legend of Zang Hai was awesome, except for the rushed ending.

It is from the writer of LLTG so not too hard to believe lol

Should be fine if it's written well. Idk the writer so who knows.

Well it is relevant until the end but yea, early mid series, real life takes precedence.

In loose terms, a brokenhearted workaholic girl gets solace in VR dating which also opens her mind to the real world and romance. As simple as that.
