Paper Tiger

In some men, the adam's apple doesn't protrude forward, making it look like they don't have one at all. Google pictures of Timothee Chalamet and Leonardo Decaprio (young and old). Both don't have a visible adam's apple.

Squid Game S2 (5.5)
Itaewon Class (5)
Perfect Crown (5)

Reacted to 86 dramas, not counting seasons, parts or reboot separately and not counting reality TV shows.

Justin scored higher on 40, Harris on 25, and they tied on 25.

Biggest disagreements:
- Itaewon Class: Harris 5, Justin 7.5
- Pursuit of Jade: Harris 6, Justin 8
- Reply 1988: Harris 6.5, Justin 7.5/8
- Descendants of the Sun: Harris 9, Justin 8 (the largest gap where Harris was higher)

I feel vindicated by this article since the critic summed up everything I have been saying and feeling since episode 1 (https://www.koreaboo.com/news/pop-culture-critic-refuses-call-perfect-crown-kdrama-brutal-review-goes-viral/)

Your nephew and the love of your life get into a terrifying car accident... gets out of the car... poses... then slowly struts to show off his fashion and how pretty he is. Meanwhile, IU's shots are mostly her, again, getting out of a car... pose... walking into a room... pose... sitting down... stare... then STARE some more... Then stare juuuust a bit more so the viewers can tell how much chemistry they (don't) have 🙄

To be clear, I'm not blaming the actors, at least not entirely. The writing and directing are level A atrocious. IU & Byeon Woo Seok are good actors but they are the type of actors that require good material and good direction to perform well. They are not at the skill level that would lift up bad material just by sheer acting performance such as Kim Go Eun, Park Eun Bin, Jung Hae In, Lee Jae Wook, or Ahn Eun Jin.

The fact that this was a follow up to IU's masterpiece WLGT and Byeon Woo Seok's Lovely Runner is truly a tragedy.

😂😂😂

Don't forget posing prettily and staring at each other silently. These alone easily make up 50% of each episode.

I'm sorry, but I really don't understand the hype. This is one of the most overrated dramas of 2024 along with QoT in my humble opinion and had as many plot holes as a swiss cheese.
Negatives:
- Plot holes, so many plot holes
- So many abductions, so many redundancy, so much stupidity
- Characters nowhere near as smart as they think they are
- Characters behaving in an illogical way (especially in the last 2-3 episodes), not in accordance to their prior characterization
- Predictable plot "twists"
- Lame villains
- Weak (or non-existent) relationship development

Positives:
...
- Great chemistry between the leads
...
- At least the sister's story arc did not take the expected obnoxious route (which is a very minor element within the story)

Does anyone know the name of the song used in Our Movie's trailer?

It's personal taste. If you found QOT overrated, which I frankly did as well, then you're probably going to find this one overrated, as I do. While I do find it overrated and don't find myself eagerly waiting for the next episode, I don't have the urge to drop it, yet. This is coming from someone who has no problem dropping dramas left and right when they bore me. I just find it mediocrely good (shrugs). What saves both dramas is the chemistry in my opinion.

I don't mind watching adaptations made by different countries and I don't mind actors taking different approaches to the character. For example, I equally loved both Kimura Takuya's performance in Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi as well as Seo In Guk's different approach and interpretation in the adaptation The Smile Has Left Your Eyes (I had watched the original right before watching the adaptation as well). I thought both of their performances were independently great (different approaches that both worked for me). Another adaptation that I loved, and in fact thought was much better than the original, was the kdrama 18 Again (adapted from a US movie). Again, both actors had compltely different approaches and interpretation and I did not mind it. So, my problem is not in the fact that they made changes to the script or that the actors reinterpreted the characters in a different way. And while I did like the original, I wouldn't necessarily say that it was one of my favorites or that I'm particularly attached to it.

I'm not sure if the problem I have with the ML is due to his lack of acting skills which I can't fully comment on since I have only watched him in Lost You Forever (I actually liked him/his performance there), or his interpretation of/choices in how he portrayed the character. Of course this is a matter of taste and preference. While I didn't find his performance appealing or engaging, many might disagree with me. So, it's better for people to check it for themselves and make their own judgement.
