What I truly hated was the way Eun Jung got hurt by Sang Yeon’s insecurity and actions throughout. “I want…
i genuinely didnt understand what made thisa friendship... for half the show i kept waiting for this monumental friendship, but up until the very end it's eunjung being tormented. i expected this to be like my brilliant friend but it's just eunjung suffering for 15 episodes
idk how i feel about mystery elements in romcom, they tend to be a miss for me (crash course in romance an example,…
for me it depends how they do the infamous third act breakup that's the standard for any romance and imo should happen right at ep12 so we have two eps of angst and then two eps to wrap it up and an epilogue. however many third act breakups are pointless, happen too late or the ending ends up rushed, not to mention they tend to separate them and do time skips. but if it's built up well and delivers delicious angst it can truly pack a nice punch for those last few eps of a 16. but i do agree that 12 seems to be becoming the best for a concise storyline (imo anything less than 8 should just be rewritten as a movie atp)
Can't wait - always love to watch Jung So Min.There's more to the drama than simply "contract marriage"…
idk how i feel about mystery elements in romcom, they tend to be a miss for me (crash course in romance an example, the mystery added nothing), but still excited for this one
To all the K-drama fans who’ve never tried C-dramas: take a break from the mess K-dramas have been serving lately…
i mean... we can do both... watch chinese dramas and call out kdramas when they're racist af... you know that right? also, chinese dramas come with their own wild propaganda but i'll let you live in your bubble lmao
I don't really understand what's going on. Indeed she's being vague.But I find many of her comments irrelevant,…
i think it's fair of her to comment on everyone in the company and the shareholders ignoring her when she was hospitalized when she had earned them so much money. i think it's a fair point to make and showcases how at the top people only care about money. and she is claiming they've done illegal things - like coercing her finance person to sign off that she'll pay things the company was supposed to pay.
if its anything like the original canadian show - absolutely yes. the first episode was really good
iirc the cop and the mary end up together and she's pregnant. her and her partner keep helping with the assisted suicides. but i watched as it was airing so my memory can be shoddy.
after watching the first episode I don't if she will be alive or not, she probably will get treatment but she…
ty for the info! yeah i think they'll stay quite true to the original i just wonder how they'll restructure it for 12 eps in a season instead of 18 in three seasons
First Episode was fn, I had a very detailed and lengthy responses and opinion on this subject on Spare Me Your…
why shouldn't it be funny? just bc you have a clear anti-assisted suicide stance doesn't mean we shouldn't have media that portrays it (i bet you don't go on mafia bls and write soliloquies on why murder and torture etc is bad or on very dubious consent bls on how r*pe is bad, do you?) in different ways and tones and of all walk of life and opinions.
"abomination to the subject" is interesting phrasing you chose. why shouldn't media tell a more nuanced story of those living with terminal illnesses? are terminal patients not allowed humor? is dark humor suddenly outlawed? who made you the fun police? i may have only watched ep1 but neither death scene was taking the piss so i really dont know what bothered you. just bc there is humor doesn't equate to the subject being taken lightly.
you have a very narrow minded view just bc the show doesn't fundamentally align with what you believe. there are people who are terminally ill who want to die. this is a fact. would i decide the same? who knows, i've never been in this position. my aunt died in hospice after 12 years battling cancer. my uncle died before 60 in a hospital bed. my grandmother died at home in her own bed in her late 90s after being bedridden and with dementia for years. i don't think either death is more or less worthy, nor would i ever judge someone for turning to assisted suicide when the other option is living in pain for the few months they have left. and unless you yourself were in that position i don't think you get to stand on your moral high horse and judge.
how is there no "emotional and human" side of this issue even in the very first episode? i think what you truly want to say is you're pissed off bc no one in the episode was vocally against euthanasia (at least for now) (well actually the police are literally investigating it and calling it drug murders so there!) and i guess that bothered you? i personally saw it. with both patients, i understood it. do you need everything spelled out for you? do you need each character to continuously lament on the ethical issues of assisted suicide? come on now, look into the subtext. but also did you consider maybe you're SUPPOSED to be uncomfortable? and maybe that discomfort isn't necessarily bad or something negative about the show? food for thought
no one is forcing you to watch these shows, if you want a different view on terminal illnesses go watch something like OUR MOVIE for example or idk TFIOS. i also think you're not being fair in your PS by judging this show on two episodes and comparing it to an entire series you watched. if you bothered to research about the original, they actually are exploring the themes of ethics, morals, values, assisted suicide on all fronts in all different angles. maybe come back and judge it for its nuance once you watch all 12 episodes?
after watching the first episode I don't if she will be alive or not, she probably will get treatment but she…
if they stay true to the original series she doesn't die. in the original series she takes the pentobarbital bc she thinks it's just something to calm her nerves before the performance and the fact that it was watered down probably saves her.
they already adjusted stuff from the original series (the kids were mary's and she was divorced but here she's their aunt etc) so idk if they'll keep this but in the original series that character also has bipolar disorder
