I'm just going to finish it because i have wasted a lot of time here, otherwise the urge to drop this is so real...
π€£π€£π€£π€£πͺπ½πͺπ½
I so hear you.
Guess what.. I am ffding madly.. Sprinting.. To only see what's up with the SFL romance thread π
I have lost ALL interest in the main roles...
How did the director and Writer squeeze the blood out of the actors and make them into pallid - sanitized - cardboard characters playing in a straw framed structure that's so half baked / uncooked.
I came back to watch a few more eps. Such a stale plot!
Still can't wrap my head around : How did two of the best talents in the CDrama industry got pulled in to do these dull roles. ππ
I am watching it still!! Just out of "familiarity" of the two actors.. I guess I like looking at them. I guess I like remembering them in their earlier roles in their respective earlier dramas... I guess I am plucking the familiar expressions they are good at.
It's standard bread and butter story...a breakfast you've eaten - nothing exciting nor questionable or annoying.. It is as is. But deeply disappointing because I had marked this drama ever since it was announced πππ I thought there would be a delight awaiting us at breakfast for a change - a surprise that lights up the eyes... Aaand!!! We get bread and butter.
At Ep 6 I am wondering if there will an exotic jam or some surprise chiffon feel crepe with some unexpected filling.
Any way I will go as far as I can with pity and respect rolled in one for CFY and SZ
ππ
Oh BTW any one else digging Mr Qin? Denny Zhuang? And the SFL??
They are the breather in the show as of now. Am already rooting for them to have their own main role dramas...asap!!!!
I might actually watch All the 28 episodes pulled in by the second couple. The show BETTER NOT cheat us out of a passionate kiss between them.
I didn't date to enter the MDL discussion board lest I feel 'sick' with the usual 'shallow' views that are often expressed .. and the storms of 'judgement' that blows over 'appropriate' ..
This was SUCH A riveting watch .. the story was powerful and absolutely engaging - that dash of mystery .. and the WILD chemistry!!!
Dear MDL ERL viewers,It's not the actors, pal. Or their chemistry.It's the pathetic script and direction - the…
Will I keep watching it? Sigh!!
What can I do...just out of respect for the two actors.. And they have addictive faces. Will see how long I can keep my fingers in out of my hair. If the hair is in danger I shall stop and drop.
It's the pathetic script and direction - the entire drama team is "cringe - artless - tacky - cheap" ππ½ππ½
The actors who I have total and immense respect for got trapped in the deal I suspect. How? Is a mystery. They made pretty decent drama picks till days with some total slam dunks.
I mean!! Cummon check CFY in Ever Night and in L&P and in the 2 movies he did. Sabrina is kick ass star - amongst the best, totally forgoes the infantile pout face acting which is almost a trademark of CDrama FLs - I think they won't make it in the industry without that ability in their repertoire πππ
The director has poor skills and the dialogues are puetile.. The editing was on auto and the camera person smeared a thick layer of Vaseline on the lens. The OST is cringey gooey.
It's so tragic watching two of the strongest actors having to trudge through this mess.
ππππππ
I almost felt like ripping them out of the screen and saving them some grace.
Sorry for the strong reaction.
But had to share my fresh of the episode reaction..
Why does ALL the blame go to the actors when the script and direction is off? It's not their fault because shitty…
I watched Ep 1 Your comment echoes my thoughts and reactions. Two TOP NOTCH actors being used as Advertorials.. The director has poor skills and the dialogues are puetile.. The editing was on auto and the camera person smeared a thick layer of Vaseline on the lens. The OST is cringey gooey.

I loved your reaction "had to get a soju" ROFL
I LOVED the show too.
SO UNIQUE!!
So need to look beneath in the deeper waters and not discard at face value.
Thanks for the write up.
EXPRESSED my feelings so accurately too ..
I think whose who could see only the surface missed a CLASSIC ..
It's amongst my TOP of the Charts Drama.
For this incredible level headed post.

This was SUCH A riveting watch .. the story was powerful and absolutely engaging - that dash of mystery .. and the WILD chemistry!!!
One of the BEST chemistry ever.
They are SUCH solid actors.
Of the couple of hundred KDramas I watched this makes it to the top of the billboard in the top 10
Hang around for a little longer maybe..
I'll wrap my 2nd watch of Arthdal Chronicles and return - maybe.
Sigh!!
