What are you even talking about? k-dramas have always been like this. It hasn’t changed since the 2000s. It’s…
The thing is, you stated your point as if it were an absolute truth. So yeah, it’s normal to argue and debate that. But again, you’re totally free to not like a drama, that wasn’t the point of my comment. I just wanted to explain that making a generalization like that isn’t the right approach and, more importantly, it’s factually incorrect.
What are you even talking about? k-dramas have always been like this. It hasn’t changed since the 2000s. It’s…
Okay but then don’t say “kdramas have become superficial in the last two years” when it honestly feels pretty much the same as before. If anything, I think nostalgia is doing a lot here.
I’m pretty sure if those older dramas dropped today, they’d get dragged just as hard. Back then there just wasn’t as much content with tighter or more polished scripts, so people weren’t as critical.
Again, you’re totally allowed to not like a drama or feel like it’s not your thing, but making that kind of blanket statement just isn’t accurate.
And also, can we talk about how Lee Jae Wook gets dragged every single time? For once, I was actually pretty satisfied with him here. A lot of you are still stuck on Alchemy of Souls and use it as the standard for him, which is honestly unfair. He can choose whatever projects he wants. At least judge him based on his performance.
Why are 99% of K-dramas from the last two years so superficial? The female leads are insufferable, egotistical,…
What are you even talking about? k-dramas have always been like this. It hasn’t changed since the 2000s. It’s the same recycled storylines with romance, love triangles, and slow pacing. That’s literally the classic formula. I don’t get why people keep saying “it’s become like this” when it’s pretty much always been this way.
Sure, there are exceptions every year, but overall it’s still the same overused formula again and again. Boys Over Flowers, Pinocchio, The Heirs, Oh My Venus… I could name so many more.
I really don’t understand the hate toward Sold Out on You and Doctor on the Edge. Honestly, it feels like some of you just discovered dramas for the first time. At this point, it just comes off as hypocritical. You’re totally allowed to not like it, but saying it’s suddenly become bad is just denial when it’s always followed the same patterns.
And honestly, these two dramas don’t even feel “Netflix-coded” at all. If anything, they’re nostalgic and really remind me of older dramas.
Also, can y'all stop with the Lee Jae Wook criticism? It’s always the same complaints from the same bitter people. For once, I actually really liked him in this. You keep dragging him back to Alchemy of Souls like he can’t choose different roles. He has every right to pick the projects he wants, and he’s a good actor. At some point, it’s just getting ridiculous.
Honestly, the negativity in these comments really shocked me. It feels like people are tearing this drama apart with almost no objectivity and even forcing hate onto it.
Yes, it has flaws, and I get that the last three episodes lose a bit of momentum, but overall it’s such a good-vibe, easy and enjoyable watch. Maybe take a step back and try to appreciate it for what it actually is. It’s a slice-of-life with comedy and romance, and it does that well.
For its genre, it’s honestly solid. The way some of you are talking, it’s like you’ve never watched a drama before. Calling it trash is seriously an exaggeration.
This drama and Doctor on the Edge absolutely do not deserve these ratingsI honestly don’t understand it at all. Meanwhile, shows like Perfect Crown and My Royal Nemesis are getting 8.5+? Never trust MDL ratings, honestly. People are really strange sometimes.
Stop saying it’s “just fiction.” Cinema is political the moment it introduces certain ideas. In K-dramas,…
What I’m saying is that people’s reactions are pretty understandable with subtitles like that. You can’t really be surprised people respond the way they do, that’s all.
Guys I don't understand why make it a big deal. I'm sorry but it's fictional, it's just a story. If you take it…
Stop saying it’s “just fiction.” Cinema is political the moment it introduces certain ideas. In K-dramas, I’ve never seen a single positive portrayal of Africans/Arabs. And now they’re bringing up Pakistan and Palestine and once again, it’s framed negatively.
At some point, people get tired of constantly being represented in extreme and inaccurate ways.Given the current context, this kind of portrayal is especially tone-deaf. You can’t expect people not to react it’s completely normal.
This is how misinformation spreads. You’re not affected by it, so of course you don’t fully understand, but I do.
either talk about these topics in a real, meaningful, and accurate way, or don’t bring them up at all. Pushing the “terrorist” image isn’t helping anyone I don’t see who that’s supposed to appeal to.
And based on the legal definition of “genocide”, Israel’s actions toward Palestinians align with several…
Yeah, I know, but at that point I wasn’t even replying for him anymore I was just trying to educate anyone who might come across my comments. Honestly, it doesn’t affect me because I know the truth. These people have zero humanity anyway. they can’t have an actual discussion. All they do is insult people and wish death on them.
The fk should i care about some subhumans in my kdrama?
You’re acting like people can only care about one issue at a time, which just isn’t true. People have been talking about Yemen, Syria, Sudan, and plenty of other conflicts for years, even if they didn’t get the same media coverage or online attention. The difference now is visibility, not that people suddenly “started caring.”
Also, bringing up other tragedies to dismiss what’s happening somewhere else doesn’t really strengthen your point, it just deflects. Acknowledging what’s happening in Palestine doesn’t mean ignoring suffering elsewhere, both can be condemned at the same time.
And honestly, you’re the only one here being aggressive, throwing insults around, and making broad generalizations about entire groups. You literally wished death on me and my family, so that whole “caring about people” angle doesn’t really come across as genuine.
That kind of approach just weakens your argument. If you actually care about human lives, the focus should be on that, not on turning it into some competition over who deserves empathy more or using it as a way to attack others.
I haven’t watched the drama yet, I’ve only seen that the subtitles might be problematic, so I’ll wait and form my own opinion once I actually watch it.
As for the comment you might have seen, there’s a lot of hate and misinformation being spread on different topics, including Palestinians and Muslims. Personally, I think it’s important not to take media narratives at face value and to look at the historical context while doing research from multiple sources.
There’s a long history of colonial discourse where dominant powers often present themselves as “saviours,” or "peacemakers" so it’s always worth staying critical and informed instead of accepting one sided framing.
It’s also worth remembering that over 130 states have officially recognized Palestine, which is not insignificant. The situation is often presented in a very simplified way, but many argue it’s primarily political and tied to historical and territorial conflict rather than being purely religious.
At the same time, some of the countries that haven’t recognized Palestine are also directly or indirectly involved in the history and dynamics of the conflict, which is why the issue is often seen as highly political and complex rather than just a matter of recognition.
So yeah, if someone doesn’t want to see discussions about this topic, it’s probably better to just avoid engaging with it rather than reacting without any knowledge of it. Thanks.
If u wanna see the truth, u must see from both sides.. open your eyes and don't listen to what people say, look…
That’s exactly what you’re not doing you’re just denying the "" facts "", whether religious or historical. You didn’t actually respond to anything I said, you just shifted the topic instead. So coming from you, that’s pretty hypocritical.
I’m pretty sure if those older dramas dropped today, they’d get dragged just as hard. Back then there just wasn’t as much content with tighter or more polished scripts, so people weren’t as critical.
