Okay, this is my first time ever leaving a comment. I usually don't do comments at all, not for anything. However,…
There are dramas for everyone! Don't give up on kdrama for that, most of them are mehh but some of them are so excellent that you still think about them after weeks. If you tell us what you like/looking for in a drama, maybe we can suggest other kdramas that might help you with what you are going through..
Imagine if after they allied to defeat the white walkers, people in game of thrones never actually faced them. Or imagine Daenerys building her army to get the throne to end up picking up pine cone in the north with Jon where they lived happily ever after. That's Start-up with the letters. The whole gathering of the characters was for one reason only and then pouf, gone.
I really hope KSH is going to take on really good projects in the future. We're rooting for him, but if he does us dirty by doing garbage dramas like this one, I'll fight him. He has potential, he's charismatic, please let him also be smart enough to choose his projects more wisely in the future. Maybe more serious genre, like thrillers or something.
how to appreciate average drama? - what below average dramas... record of youth makes much more sense after watching…
yeah but realistic doesn't have to be boring though, and ROY was really really boring. I don't enjoy Park Bogum's projects in general anyway, they're flat (except of reply 88 of course)
It doesn't take away the fact that the writting is TERRIBLE, but the way you watch a show can impact your opinion on the said show.
The huge problem that not binge watching a show creates is that it gives us time to think about how the writing can be either so good, meh, or even bad. When you binge watch a show you don't have to think about it because you're not taking the time to think about it. Reading other people's point of view on the matter also influences your own opinion because they can notice something you didn't. Also the theories can fuck up your entire experience of the show because people end up writing things that are way more interesting than what the writers end up giving us, so it creates disappointment. Overall, I think that most Kdramas are not it, but since a lot of people binge watches them, me included (it's the first time that I actually took the time to follow a drama weekly from the beginning), we don't notice the flaws of the drama. It creates 2 groups of viewers and their experience of the drama can therefore be drastically different. Also the binge watching puts you in a bubble of excitement for a couple of days, in a rush I'd say. I noticed that when I binge watch a good show that isn't over yet, I tend to not appreciate the rest of it as much as I used to in the beginning because the weekly wait creates a split between me and the drama. The rush is no longer there and the excitement is gone too, even if the show's writing has not deteriorated in between. I have an urge to watch the next episode and I can satisfy that urge when all episodes are available, but if it's not the case, one week it too much to sort of keep the "urge" as strong as when I finished the previous episode.
A lot of people are waiting for the drama to end to watch it and in a few days/weeks you're gonna have a lot of people coming here saying "well I don't understand why people hated it so much ?? like it was not the drama of the year but it wasn't all that bad, I'd give it an 8" lol
I think I'm gonna stick to binge watching dramas aha.
PBG was excellent in reply 1988 even though I don't like his work in general
7.9, what a great number
*SPOILER AHEAD*
Crazy !

The ending was as disgusting as we predicted.
Don't forget to rate down the show :)
