🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 indeed... what a life that must be... they sure are feeling like they've achieved something great🙃

I love your music hint 😂😂 and I can totally feel the atmosphere you had in mind with it. I also don't see any good chemistry between them so far. 😕

I was. If there's no gravity then how come it doesn't affect your hair. I've been thinking about it the whole time. But I'm not astro-scientist so maybe it's nothing weird.

The high budget is visible. But the dynamics between characters, their dialogues and motives and overall screen writing is just dull. Atleast for me so far and what I hear from most people.

Anyways, you should always try for yourself despite anything others say. You never know if it pulls you in and you find some spark in it.

What does that mean?🙃

Sad to see you couldn't hang in there afterall.... I was rooting for ya. 😅🥲🤞 I guess sometimes even when you want to give it benefit of the doubt and you try to stay for the positives, the negatives just become impossible to ignore. Seeing how the discussion is here in the comments I think to save me some nerves I won't even start watching afterall...😅

Pachinko is on my PTW list, thanks! I'm curious what he pulls off there 😁😉

I don't know what to think about it, I have mixed feelings. I feel like people who mostly say the plot is shitty might just forget not to take themselves too seriously....maybe it's not supposed to be taken seriously.

SPOILERS

But then the setting and agenda is quite serious until suddenly the characters swoon over two fruit flies getting it on... then fight over an ice cream sperm... then two boyfriends in space fight over a girl on Earth.... And though these scenes did strike me as a "stop being serious and learn to laugh to stupid things" message, I can't help but think it's a lousy writing sort of.... or maybe... the creators forgot what they're even trying to do and where they're aiming with this drama?
What is it that they want to tell the audience, what is the ultimate goal.

So far it just feels so random. I understand certain characters truly hope to conceive and therefore somewhat broke the law in order to get the sperm to the space to make it active again.... THAT feels either extremely grotesque OR like an attempt to represent a serious scientific issue. Me personally could understand if it's just meant to be dumb satire in a Big Bang Theory style, or if it's actually considering the future of humanity and is viewed as a real experiment with mattering results. However, this drama seems to want to do both at once.... and to me it just doesn't click somehow, not yet.

As for LMH – i'm not one of his haters and to be honest till now I still don't quite know why he's hated. I think he's fine. But his acting feels...awkward somehow? Or maybe it's not the acting but just the character itself. I can't tell, I haven't watched him anywhere else. Despite that, I don't dislike his character so far. Having watched 2 eps, I don't think he's interesting enough to make up for a main character, but I'm not saying that it's hopeless and there's no room for a change yet to be made either.

Sad but true 🥲

so true 😭😭😭😭

First episode was so so for me, but not bad. Second episode was much better, probably thanks to more character dynamics and swifter plot progression.

When people said it's funy and lite I expected that typical crazy scenes being crazy only for the sake of forcing "humor" into your face. But this actually isn't that type of funny at all, only here and there. I'd say the serious note mostly overweights – which I don't mind. I like the way FL is a little nutcase but still hopelessly devoted to the cause.

Please no love triangle... spare me... jeeeeebal.....

Otherwise it sounds exactly like my cup of tea! :DD

Oh I absolutely agree

Precisely, agreed. With Doctor Slump i'm currently at 10 out of 16 episodes and I've been doing the same as you, ever since episode 1 – skipping all the cringe extravagant high school flashbacks. I stick to it for Park Hyung Sik mainly and also because many people hinted that it deals somewhat well with the presentation of depression...? Which I personally didnt see much so far and I think they barely scratched it outside of a few basic textbook therapy lines, so I disagree for now. And as I always say, I might still change my mind at the end.

However, what you say about the unhealthy way of portraying "met as kids" tropes is really spot on. Not only it leads the audience to believe that you can only have one fated loved one in your life (and the very first one you met on top of that), it also implies those people have indeed never grown up if they're still hung up on someone they talked to at the age of 8 and now after 15 years they think they're the same person they used to play with at neighbor's yard. There actually is nothing to connect them in the first place. I can't imagine randomly thinking of some kid I used to play with and suddenly feeling like I need to find them again and if I can't meet that person then I'll spend the rest of my life alone, only working. Not to mention that as a kid you just don't develop such strong and massive romantic feelings to be haunting you for the rest of your life, because you haven't even fully developed your own self-reflection – I think. That's so twisted... But I guess we'll have to put up with it for a little longer still.

Yup you're right... When I was writing that comment I haven't finished episode 4 yet. Now that I have, as soon as I realized that maybe FL's father died saving ML in the fire when he was a kid.... 😐 the eye roll of disappointment I made.

It's truly not that I want to be nitpicking or pointlessly complaining about every single small thing instead of looking at the bright and positive features... It's just... the frustration of this literally chasing us at every k-drama step we want to make as fans? 😭 I truly just want a story of two characters who are not connected by ANY childhood circumstances. Enough as it is I basically stopped myself from 99 % of reincarnation dramas because the base of re-finding your old love which is not really your old love is also driving me insane, but not as much as this, to be honest... 😂

So true.... I like it when they develop and deepen their feelings slowly, it's more believable and enjoyable for me that way😂

Oh I absolutely get it. One at a time to keep you mentally strong, and after exams you'll deserve another reward atleast. Was the same for me when I had to study and didn't have time or energy to watch more things at once.😭 I hope Love Scout will be a good regeneration during your exams! 😇🤞

Many people find slow burn romance boring, I personally prefer it to the dramas where characters are head over heels with each other after 2 episodes, get together in episode 5 and next 10 episodes we watch them break up and make up...😅 Honestly the way you describe your conditions I think this might really be exactly what you're looking for.😉 It's so sweet but natural and realistic at the same time.

If I may I'd also recommend Tell Me That You Love Me, it's made in a similar day to day life way and the connection build slowly between the leads is very heart warming 😉💖

It's more like a slice of life drama indeed. The introduction episode whas maybe a little too long for my taste (1 hour 19 minutes) as there is a lot of characters that you don't know and you're getting used to the environment. However from second episode onwards it's truly pleasing, relaxing, nice, funny (but not in a cringe forceful awkward way) and the story and character developement progresses just right.... according to me atleast. If you're looking for something to calm yourself with I'd say this would be a good pick. Mind you it's a slow-burn romance and the characters are adjusting to each other in a natural way! 😊

Sorry, I'm actually re-writing this comment because my phone sent it before it was finished 😂

You have exactly the same problems with these tropes as I do it seems. I haven't started this drama yet but I'm very leaned to it for the FL actress as she's one of my favorites. I feel bad luck because as much as I wish to watch her somewhere... usually the latest dramas casted with her just don't grip me and that breaks my heart.

However, that aside, what I came here to say is – and I believe we've already had similar "discussion" before but can't bring myself to recall which drama/comment section it was – that I'm just so fed up with the childhood friends/dwelling on your first kindergarden love until you're almost 40 tropes.....😔😮‍💨 Why do they still do it so often... Why not tell a story of two people who, as simply as that, just actually meet and build a connection through shared environment, workplace or experience and learn about each other.... ANYTHING but two people who are in love ever since they were 4 and just keep coming back to each other. I don't feel anything fresh or tempting about it and it always feels like walking in a circle.... I want to learn about the characters through shared story and not through constant forced flashbacks pulling me out of the moment.

And the worst part is, even when you are given seemingly newly introduced characters who just run into each other soon enough you find out that they actually do know each other from their childhood afterall (Healer, Angels last mission, Kill it, or even When The Phone Rings although there it makes sense through a family connection). Why is the need to do this repeatedly so constant? Another dramas like Happiness or Doctor Slump... or pretty much any second drama, is based on this. Is it because it's so difficult to write two characters with a new story that they always make them childhood friends who've been in love with each other all this time?

What bothers me even more is that it's not as realistic as it seems.... (I just remembered Midnight Romance in Hagwon deals with the same issue where the FL's colleague from work who's unmarried and in his late 30's is actually in love with her for the past 10 years.... WHO DOES THAT....Who stops their life for a decade in false hope of one day getting together with someone who's clearly not interested the same way .....). Stop giving me these desperate characters. I'm begging you 😪😰.

That all being said, I don't want to claim that this kind of trope can't be done right or that sometimes it can't be a well told story... But I feel like it's too much and the creators are just lazy to think of something new and original so they always go back to their old tricks and rely on these overused methods cause it's a "safe bet"....? Thank god someone came up with Love Scout where the two leads actually do just meet and get to know each other (or atleast so far it seems to be the case but what do you know...) .

Some people would say "if this storytelling bothers you so much then don't watch it and find another drama" which would of course seem logical. The problem is that too many dramas rely on this storytelling and almost every second drama I pick for myself ends up being in this category... There are other things or features I might like about that story and I just really want to give it a shot, it might change my opinion at the end of the day. But it always ends up the same. So afterall it's not as easy to watch something else when such a huge amount of shows tends to spiral down to this.


Apologies for the extent. I just sometimes happen to be indeed frustrated in these situations. I don't mean to spread negative energy or anything 😂🙏

Can we talk about Mrs. Seo PLEASE??? WHAT A WOMAN 🤌😩⚘️
