Then it was a misunderstanding. When someone replies to a comment your comment shows on the top so for me there was no comment above mine. When you mentioned the above comment I could only think you were talking about mine and since you kept saying "you" when talking about those fans, it made it seem you were including me in that group.

True. I think I liked maybe 1 or 2 of the dramas produced by Disney and they still had flaws. Usually I am happy to see a kdrama is airing on a Korean network like tvN, SBS or MBC.

Exactly my and chetelli's point. Everything you have said so far has nothing to do with my original comment. I did not trash the drama, did not give it a 1 star rating and did not even mention any actors. You are bringing your frustrations from other comments into the reply you left to mine even tho I have nothing do with it.

To put it into perspective, it would be the same as you walking down the road, someone makes you trip and fall and then as you get up you see me pass by and decide to punch me. Your anger and frustration is misplaced.

I think chetelli's point is that your reply did not match my comment. I was only expressing my personal opinion about how I felt about the drama and how the quality of kdramas in general (not all of them obviously) has been going down since Netflix got involved.

There are some great kdramas on Netflix but for me seeing that a new kdrama is airing on Netflix is usually a red flag because they have a tendency to ruin anything they touch.

Can´t we all just enjoy dramas without turning this into a war? For me both haters and people who give dramas a 10 because of their favorite actor belong in the same bag, I do not identify with either of the 2. They are the reason MDL's ratings are not trustworthy anymore.

Let's just rate dramas for the plot, acting, production quality and overall enjoyment and stop making everything about the actors. And let's comment freely about how we felt about a drama without the comment section becoming a hateful place.

Thank you.

I thought I was the only one that felt the reply was too much, almost attacking me when I did not even trash the drama, just said that I personally did not enjoy it. I did not even mention any actors and for some reason it just became about the actors and suddenly I'm a hater and a crazy kpop fan or something.

I watch dramas for the plot, the actors help but at the end of the day if the plot is not good I might not even finish watching much less give it a high rating just because of the cast.

I know nothing about the data, I left twitter (now X) a long time ago. I am basing my comment solely on other comments I read on this page.

Your reply to my comment does not match what I even spoke about aside from the first paragraph talking about the mixed reactions. I never mentioned the acting and when I talked about my favorite dramas, I did not even say which dramas, I did not mention any actors. For me the most important part of a drama is the plot, yes, the cast can also help carry a drama, but I have dropped dramas with a great cast because the writing was bad and I have given high ratings to dramas with unknown actors as the main leads because the plot was great.

I am not sure if you were just talking in general about kdrama fans but "🔝(The above comment)" part threw me off because I am by no means one of those people. I have been watching kdrama since 2010 and I do it solely for my enjoyment, I do not even bother to talk about dramas on social media or follow any actors. Yes, there are some actors that I like more than others because I see them more often and because they do a great job, but I am not a fan or hater of any particular one.

Again, maybe you were directing your frustration at kdrama fans in general but because you were replying to my comment and because of some of things you said it made it seem like I was a hater. ^^'

People are having mixed reactions, either trashing the drama or making excuses for why the comments are not all positive. Here are my 2 cents.

When I watch a drama I look for one of 2 things: a well written story or one that I can have fun watching (even if it is full of plot holes and dumb characters). This is why the best dramas I have watched are very different: some are thrillers, some are crime investigations, some are tragedies, some are your usual rom-com.

This drama and a lot of recent kdramas do not fit either of the criteria. Talking about Cashero, the writing was not great and I also did not have fun watching it. I started with no expectations and by the second episode I was already doing something else and having the drama on the background because I was losing interest.

In part it is a problem with Netflix. Since Netflix started to air kdramas, more and more kdramas feel less and less authentic, you know the ones we would watch back in 2010 that were just completely different from everything else we had watched until that point. And more and more kdramas feel more American rather than Korean, I mean, even the song at the end of the episodes is English.

So yeah, for people saying it is this generation of tik tokers and their lack of patience...in part you are right but there has also been a change in the kdrama world, an attempt to appeal to foreigners and this has resulted in a lot of kdramas losing its charm.

LOL, your analogy cracked me up.

A lot of short dramas need you to put your brain in rest mode, but this one will have you take it off and place it somewhere out of sight so you are able to watch until the end. ^^'

I have watched many but the most recent ones I watched that I thought were not bad were: Peacock in Wonderland (better than I expected but not a fan of how it ends), Marry Him in Her Place, Gorgeous Dream and Phoenix's Homecoming (same actress as this one).

Some not so recent ones I seem to have given good ratings: The Only Girl You Haven't Seen, Fortune Writer, Thousands of Years of Love, Butterflied Lover.

These are not necessarily the best ones I have watched. I would have to go through my entire completed list which is huge, even with MDL filters it is hard to find them all. I only went through a few hundred rows (helped that I always add "short drama" at the top of my notes).

Not sure, I watched quite a few this week alone but this actress was also the FL in Phoenix's Homecoming and I liked that one over this one even tho the plot was nothing new, just found it more entertaining.

P.S. - Check my reply to another commenter below for a list of some other short dramas. Maybe you will like some of them.

I honestly don't think Seven Tan fits this role but to say that she does the same acting is not true. I think she did well in Flight To You and her role there was very different from this one.

I agree. She definitely does not fit the childish character of the FL here, I think she fits a more mature character like the one she played in Flight to You for example.

But there is also a problem with the plot, like there is no real progression. I found myself skipping a lot of scenes. Maybe it will get better but at this point I am only watching because of the ML, if they had cast some other actor that I did not care much about I think I would have already dropped it or at least put it on hold until it finished airing.

If you care for Chinese Opera you might like this but I found it very boring. 38 episodes is also a bit much for a "short" drama.

Same. But I'm comparing it to other short dramas I have watched and this one was not as entertaining, at least for me, as some other short dramas that have lower ratings. A few days ago I watched one that was rated 7.1 or something like that and it was a lot better than this one.

I had a feeling this was overrated just from watching the first episode. My guess is people are giving it higher ratings than usual because of the matriarchal setting, with the roles being reversed and women being the ones to call the shots.

I rolled my eyes at the grandma saying: she only made a mistake that all women make.

I mean, it is not a bad short drama but there are short dramas that are better with lower ratings.

Exactly. I think even the writers and the actors had to do the same for them to be able to create this.

Because it is THAT bad.

The drama is basically a bunch of scenes put together that seem to serve no purpose, like they just had a bunch of things they wanted to include but did not know how to incorporate them. The acting is also not that great. Even after finishing I have no idea what the writers were trying to accomplish. Each episode you watch you will feel like the plot is stuck in the same place.

If I had to summarize the drama in one sentence: FL tries to kill ML because she thinks he killed her entire family and ML lets himself get stabbed while also trying to force himself on her instead of investigating what happened so they can be together. Rewind and repeat.

Ikr? That and I have not yet watched today's episodes but I am starting to think he might be the mysterious man, specially after he pushed the idea of getting rid of the ML, now, that he is a love rival, so convenient.

There is also the poison thing, the fact he was able to so easily enter the ML's house and go to her bedroom, he might have been the one to steal the antidote, the ML himself said only a few people would be able to pull it off and seeing how he was able to do it just to visit the FL, I imagine stealing the antidote would be no big deal for him.

EDIT: Ok, it is not him. I started suspecting someone else in episode 16 or 17 and in ep 18 my suspicions were confirmed. Also, the SML kind of redeemed himself in the most recent episodes. As of now I will keep my SML syndrome even tho I know there is no way they will end up together. Hopefully they do not ruin his character near the end.

I did not find the movie confusing like some people did. But the way they decided to market the movie and tell the story was not the best, making it an average movie that I would not re-watch instead of a great movie that I would probably want to watch again and recommend to people.
