This is a very entertaining series and it still manages to grab my attention ! Wayu and Wayha, Gun, So, Suzy are the characters I find the most interesting. Unfortunately I think they should have chosen another actor for Pitch. Or make Gun/So happening...because their interaction are far more interesting...You can feel the tension...
I was not sure but now watching more episodes of this, unfortunately I think the two main characters/actors feel too bland/distant for those kind of roles. I think something is lacking in their "chemistry". Less important characters are more interesting and they grab more my attention than them. It's well-made but everything seems drawn out, and in the end it is not that gripping. I'm dropping this. PS : Alcoholism must be a real problem in South Korea, seeing how their life turns around drinking alcohol. I guess it's a kind of escape and I wonder also about the level of cancers...
Mixed feelings about this series. Sometimes, it's really good, sometimes not so much. - The encounter with the aunt feels too much like "let's make the plot evolve because we need to". The coincidence feels too unbelievable. - They should have ended it with Tae Hyun rejection and his narcissist habit of using people . This conclusion was more believable than ep 7. And maybe make later a season 2 showing him growing up, healing and learning to be a better person...and eventually being finally able to love someone. - In general, I wish those series (not only astco) work more on the story and plot. You don't need a lot of money and a huge number of episodes to make a good story.
I have mixed feelings about ep 4 : some plot elements have been done so many times before (like the car accident...) and the acting can be a little awkward in some scenes. Still this is a very nice series, with good chemistry and some beautiful scenes and cinematography. And please no sad end. If it's the case, I'll drop it.
Well technically Poi is an abuser herself so they are believing what they claim they don't. I was and still am…
Ah I understand ;) It's a way to show that every "voice" is important and should be heard etc. right ? But in my case, I just won't be able to "believe". However, I can still "listen".
Putting this in a spoiler because it's not really about this series :) Just sharing my thoughts about this ! Sorry for the long comment :)
I don't particularly follow the actors of KP but a thought : if Build turns out to be the real victim, I won't dare to imagine how masculinists will use this. Considering the rigorism of some of the "feminist" speeches about this scandal, it's like giving those men and their ideology a free pass...
Another thought about the "better believe a potential liar than a potential abuser" principle :
- From a statistical point of view, in cases, women are indeed more often the victims of the violence and abuse of men. However it is a probability : often is not the truth in every case. Imagine a court making a verdict because the statistics say there is a high possibility ? - If gender is definitely a criteria of discrimination, it is also not the only one. Women in position of power abuse. Some white women can accuse black men. Some straight women can accuse gay men. Some women who are managers can harass employees. Some rich women have not the same opportunities in life as poor women. - False allegations don't help true victims. Those women who lie use the women who are real victims for their benefit. Who want to believe those kind of women ? - It's more a matter of finding the truth rather than taking a "side" : the problem is we don't know who is the real victim here, with two versions of a case.
What is the truth ? Well, it is neither statistical nor a slogan. But one thing is sure : when you care about human dignity in general, you don't use unethical means. Since it will be quite ironic that, for "good" purposes, you end up acting like the same people you fight against.
"Im sorry for hitting you, I did it because I loved you" said poi in a text. She hit him? 🤦♀️This keeps…
Apparently it comes from an audio ? But really everything seems so confusing for me and I don't really trust what is said on social media (from every side)...
I like the cinematography, the characters, the tone of the series etc. But they really need better plot and better acting in some scenes. A pity because this could have been great.
Noey pursuing Thi "fast" fits with Noey's character/personality. He's all-in, no matter what he does.
Oh yes, indeed it goes with his character, but not so long ago, he was very into pursuing Pam and now it's Thi. It feels a little too sudden, even with his all-in character. I was only bothered by this because it does feel a little rushed (well for me). But still this episode was really good and hilarious. Love it too !
