Just started this drama and I’m already really into it. I’m only on ep 1, but I did NOT expect that kind of reference with the ML’s “Memento Mori” tattoo I feel like a lot of people might not catch the meaning. Anyway, I’m loving the colors, the atmosphere, the whole vibe so far really hoping it stays this good.
Looks like it's based on a webtoon, so it got that predictable, generic, fast-food type vibe. I ain't really fw Teach You a Lesson, so I don't know about this one either.
This was so bad I don't even have the words. The writing was an absolute mess. Other than the fl, every single character had the IQ of a brick. And don't even get me started on the agent when he comes face to face with his sister... Who the hell wrote this garbage? 💀
According to a friend, by the way, if you're here expecting a romance with kissing and all that, there are zero kissing scenes. Just thought I'd let you know so you don't get your hopes up.
When I saw the poster I legit thought it was Kingdom season 3 lmao… I don’t get Netflix. They make amazing dramas and then never continue them Kingdom just stopped at season 2. And now they’re dropping this new show that looks really good, but with Netflix you never know if it’ll get a s2 or not. I’m honestly scared to get invested in something just to end up frustrated. Fuck Netflix.
ngl it’s actually getting annoying at this point. every time this actor drops a new drama it’s the same cycle all over again: people nitpicking, comparing, and acting like they get to decide what he should or shouldn’t pick. yeah he was in a big budget drama that hit, but since when does that become the standard for everything he does after?
like… he’s an actor, not a product. he can choose whatever project he connects with. not everything has to be about topping his “best” work. acting is also about trying new things, exploring different roles, and growing. reducing everything to “good choice / bad choice” based on one past success just misses the whole point.
and let’s be honest, he delivers every time. different roles, different vibes, and he still pulls it off. saying he picks bad projects just sounds like people being biased more than anything.
the real issue is people discover an actor in one standout drama and then refuse to move on from it. they keep using that one show as a reference and expect the same thing over and over again. but why tho? an actor isn’t supposed to repeat the same role forever. if anything, doing different stuff is what actually shows talent.
and tbh it just shows how narrow-minded some people are. we literally saw the same thing happen with ahn hyo seop. that drama wasn’t a masterpiece or anything, but it was fun, easy to watch, and overall enjoyable. yeah it had flaws, like most dramas do, but it was still good and his performance was solid. yet if you check the comments people are out there calling him a bad actor or saying he picks trash projects. at that point it’s not even criticism anymore, it’s just people being harsh for no reason.
personally i really liked this drama and thought he did great in it. it might not be what some people expected, but that doesn’t make it bad, it just means he’s doing something different. and honestly that’s what makes his career interesting.
also the drama literally delivers what it promises. it’s a chill slice of life with a bit of romance, good humor, and even some depth if you actually pay attention. it’s not trying to be some grand masterpiece and that’s fine. people seriously need to learn how to watch something for what it is instead of projecting expectations onto it. form your opinion based on what you actually watched, not what you thought it was gonna be. blaming a show for not meeting your expectations doesn’t make sense when those expectations were never promised in the first place. if you go in like that you’re just setting yourself up to not enjoy anything, because you’re constantly waiting for something that was never even supposed to happen.
and honestly thank god i started the drama before seeing the ratings, because i probably would’ve skipped it and missed out. this app lowkey proved to me that a lot of people just can’t rate things with any real critical thinking. when you read reviews it’s mostly emotional reactions, not actual analysis. people jump to extremes way too fast and can’t stay objective, and that’s kinda the problem.
