Having expectations is normal. What is unreasonable is when the expectations are not logical. As another viewer…
I KNOW!!!
This was precisely entertaining BECAUSE it was playing with 2 HIGH functioning career focused people with dreadful 'relationship skills and notions'
Both of them have absolutely no idea of WHAT a real relationship is all about .. nor do they recognise what it is to 'fall in love', they stumbled along in all kinds of misdirected yearnings falling flat on their face.
This drama is about imperfect individuals who grow up with their relationships. I repeat, the characters are imperfect…
Excellent observation about audience wanting to watch their OWN version of what a drama should have been rather than what was made by the drama writer and team and attempt to understand that.
I LOVE that you brought in the "GWTW" analogy .. I did exactly that in one of the comments I left in defence of the Drama's Excellence
I was not questioning your taste or why you disliked OFL the drama .. I was curious about why the sharp difference between OFL the Drama which you rated a 5.5, vis a vis the OFL : Special which you rated a 9.0
I did check out your review .. it didn't mention the extension Special Episode or your rating of it.
P.S. You don't have to explain .. it was just a passing curiosity :-)
Worst SLS I’ve ever suffered! I loved Are You Human Too as well. When the Weather is Fine is one of my all time…
The first time I watched CIMT .. I dropped it after skimming and realising he's NOT the guy (tears streaming down face) .. in those early days of my drama life I hadn't yet picked up on concept of SL and ML .. and foolishly followed my heart ..
Much much later I decided to go and rewatch it to get the real story.
HE was SO SO HOT!!!! Will never forget that black ear stud!!! and when he plays the piano!! OMYGAWD!!!
The other time an SL wrecked havoc was Kim Woo Bin in HEIRS.
😁It's not a "romance" drama..as in it's not the MAIN story..Its a slow burn thriller - suspense show I'd say..…
🤪 I slurped my way through FOMH.
The first time seeing Yang Yang.
And my 3rd CDrama last August when my Chinese Journey started. Prior to that 3 years of only KDrama like a loyal tail wagging dog I looked at nothing else.

Aww. I am glad too 💕✨💕
You know what I am HUGELY AND MOSTLY psyched about when I saw the 7.5 AaSoL rating 💃 of yours?? I am in sync with your view and opinion of it 😂😂
I entered that minefield and left some unpopular lengthy comments 😅🫣
Thankfully had enough people feel the same way 😜
I find Wu Lei a brilliant actor... But Drama had no BITE.. No texture etc.
I dropped the show.. Around Ep 7/8 I think....hopped and peeked at few later eps including last one.. And decided I couldnt sink my time into it.
AND once again (after reading your description of why your liked Tunnel) tugging at your sleeves once again : (wink) check out 2 eps of UF. Am betting 80% you'll not drop it 😁
Continues to be one of my top fave

100% agree with your statement.
Loved your phrase .. Wallow in Stagnation ;-D

You nailed that description of Shi Yan for Shu Yi
Apologies if that came across all wrong.

Only for Love SPECIAL gets a 9/10??
While the show is a 5/10
hee hee hee .. what happened? Was curious to know,
Expecially because I thoroughly relished the quirky show ... which MOST folks bashed up ;-p
Mine too.
Yet so many people just couldn't get into it - and most found it dull 🫢
I have rewatch it and might do so again some day 😍
Top fave When the Weather is Fine
Cheese in my Trap he gave me severe SL SYNDROME
I know!!
I sometimes end up being this way - especially when I vibe with someone.
The other 🤩 moment I had was seeing your 7.5 for WIFTY.
And few others 🫣

I had no idea that CDrama had hidden gems.
Barely a court scene - that too was linked to a family plot point and not any "court" stuff.

I would still nudge you to taste 1-2 eps of it.. 🤪
