why is the rating so low? I thought it's pretty good so far. I can understnad it could be a bit confusing but…
I had the same question but it seems like on MDL Cdramas that are cliche romances get rated 8.9 but anything innovative gets rated much lower.
Avenue X likes this one. I don't agree with her on everything but she's very stingy with her good ratings so I'm definitely planning on at least trying this one for a few episodes
Yes but it's a side plot, the main theme of the show is adultery and misogyny and how it hurts women. Having said that, the romance is actually pretty sweet.
Finished ep 1 and if I weren't watching with two online friends I don't think I'd continue, not because it's bad but because it's painfully realistic. It's an illustration that you should never love the company because the company will never love you.
I was thinking wow OP this is so insightful and then I realized it was Cora because of course it was 😆 you…
I'm doing well! I basically took a drama break the past month so I haven't been posting much anywhere.
The last dramas I watched were two Cdramas that I loved: A Dream Within a Dream and A Journey to Love. Highly recommend both even if you aren't a Cdrama watcher normally.
I'm still boggled by the quality because you can rent lavalier mics very cheaply and shoot on an iPhone and get…
Oh I didn't mean they should literally use CapCut, just that the quality is below what some random person could do with it but point taken about the templates
It's made by an indie company (seek media) that releases on youtube, what are you guys expecting?? Basically all…
I'm still boggled by the quality because you can rent lavalier mics very cheaply and shoot on an iPhone and get better quality then you're seeing in this drama. Plus those opening graphics are terrible, a typical TikTok user could edit a better intro using CapCut.
I read the comments before watching but I still was NOT prepared for how bad it was. The intro gave 1990s soap opera and the audio sounded like it was recorded with a mic under water. The tongue kiss looked like the director told them to pretend they were a toilet brush and the toilet.
IT jobs are a great way to make a very good living and be independent and valued... And it is easy to get an IT…
It's hard not being afraid when you're socialized to be afraid and you're unsupported to make a change. Been there, done that, have a wardrobe of t-shirts.

Moving to a big city, immigration, changing jobs, joining organizations, having friends and networks is the way…
I just started looking into a SCRUM cert so thanks for that 😅 I have a long career as a communications consultant but with AI and the severe drop in media consumption going on I'd love to transition something that pays as well or better but is a bit less insane.
And you insist on bad stuff that happens when women try to escape patriarchy LOL Korea is not Saudi Arabia :)…
Have you heard of the Chinese drama Prisoner of Beauty? It has the exact dynamic of cunning woman manipulating a man to survive. But you will probably get a stroke if you watch it, lol.
Watched the first episode and found it a bit slow. Is it because they are still building the story? Is it getting…
The first three episodes involve a lot of setup, the story takes off once they're on the road traveling. Having said that, the drama isn't primarily about the romance (tho I love the romance) but about ordinary people trying to do the right thing when they are at the mercy of morally bankrupt rulers.
I think it's worth sticking out because a Dream Within a dream was a response to all of the s*** that happened when AJTL was targeted in an online hate campaign with LYN suffering most of the abuse. You will understand ADWAD much better when you realize that Nan Heng being misunderstood by everyone is a parallel to what happened to LYN. Also the ep 1 scene of ADWAD is a parody of things that people were saying about LYN online when AJTL aired.
I was thinking of writing a Bluesky thread on him but now I'm just going to share your article 😅 just a small correction: it's Berklee, not Berkeley. Common mistake but Berkeley is part of the University of California while Berklee is the music conservatory.
I rewatched this scene at the end of episode 3 and the beginning of episode 4. When she says "Kaoru isn't…
Yes! I absolutely love that night rooftop scene and how they instinctively wanted to be together after they were both assaulted. I talked about it in one of the discussion threads. The flickering neon heart ðŸ˜

How are you? Hope all is well!

It's not only white population that's dropping in the US. That's a myth. Every group is below replacement levels. https://www.reddit.com/r/Natalism/comments/1lm6xcy/updated_total_fertility_rates_by_race_in_the/
