I don't like it now either! I don't need this to be a GL drama, but why can't Sang-Ah's same-sex relationships be presented with depth and proper development?
EDIT: So she DID have feelings for Jae-Sang, never mind then. My point stands, though, and I agree with you.
Man. When they said "Climax", I did NOT think they meant it like that... but I have to say, the writers ARE relying on shock value a little bit to me. Based on a great discussion I had with someone on here, it's like the sensationalism is being emphasized in favor of the plot & character development, and it's becoming harder to ignore. Pacing, too. This is the biggest flaw of the drama for me. The cast? Great. Actors? Amazing. Premise? Fantastic! The portrayal of Sang-Ah's sexuality? Bold. Very, very bold. But a tiny bit... fetishy? It's surprising, but is there any DEPTH to her relationship with Jung-Won? Or is it just to say, "Ooooh, look at these lesbians! They're getting it on!" What's the POINT, PD Lee?
Also, I can't tell what's going on with Sang-Ah's character at this point. Yang-Mi is just evil for evil's sake, which is fine, but she's so bland as a character compared to everyone else. She's basically a Hate Sink (TV Tropes reference, lol) Jong-Wook has done nothing of substance. Tae-Seop is confusing at times. I'm glad Jung-Won got some development because the constant blank stares got annoying... π The characterization isn't the best and the plot direction is very vague right now. I also think that the themes need to be emphasized a bit more, in my opinion. This is JUST critique- I still enjoy the drama. But it's finishing up soon and I felt like expressing some of my more controversial thoughts. We're almost at the finish line, so I'll see it through.
How does the FL look like a policewoman? I'm confused? Also, her tech/company got stolen, I'd be pissed too (even…
Yeah! And like I said- look, I like strong FLs. But criminal assault doesn't count, and Eun-Ae is meant to be a heroine... writers at it again making her look like a joke for standing up for herself. It's cringe. π¬π
Ooooh that's insightful! π³ That actually reframes my perspective of it a little bit. I never thought of Sang-Ah's relationships being presented that way until you mentioned it. Honestly, you're not wrong. They do discuss how celebrities are treated by people in power, but making Sang-Ah's sexuality seem so πscandalousπ and "forbidden" is... yeah. Rubs me the wrong way now. I never considered that before. π€
Climax is about the link between politics and the entertainment industry and how actresses are treated like bargaining…
Glad to see someone smart here. My only issues with the drama is the reliance on shock value and the pacing. Other than that, it's pretty good. ππ½
They are definitely relying on shock value a bit for me. But if this is about the FL being gay, it's not the main…
Understandable and I actually don't disagree. Not sure about tasteless, but it's sure as hell annoying... thanks for explaining! The performances, music, directing are definitely carrying this for me. π
I don't disagree with the shock value part and the pacing (it's so confusing), but I think it's meant to be sensational. The plot is there, but all of the characters are very, VERY messed up people too π I've seen way worse dramas than this, so I don't mind too much. Like it definitely has its problems (also, thank you for calling out the WLW thing cuz I don't think I've heard that POV before, explain? π€)
You've been trying to bait me into a fight for weeks. What do you want from me? What did I EVER do to you? Do…
Okay so you're genuinely slow, perfect. Amazing, really. Suddenly I'm playing the victim when you've been being a cunt to me for weeks.
FYI, do some reading on Korea & international relations. Where do you think k-pop came from? Makjang dramas? Old Korean sitcoms? Manhwa? The writing system, Hangul (and Hanja?) Let me tell you this: NOTHING I've listed here is authentically Korean. K-pop? Combo of R&B, hip-hop, pop, funk, and rock music. Makjang dramas are soap operas which originated in the US. Sitcoms? Not originally Korean either. Manhwa? Literally Japanese manga's sister. Hangul & Hanja derive from Ancient Chinese.
I'm not blocking you, but the conversation ends here. I don't need you spoiling my fun- YOU can have fun arguing with the wall. Goodbye!
This drama is pretty much a westernised makjang trying to be gritty and "real" but forgetting to be entertaining…
You've been trying to bait me into a fight for weeks. What do you want from me? What did I EVER do to you? Do you really want my attention THAT bad?! And why are you *SO* engaged in a drama that you claim to hate oh-so-much and call "BS"?
I want you to do 1 thing: LEAVE ME ALONE. I'm done interacting with you, and should you contact me again, I'm reporting you. Thank you.

I used a very offensive word and I apologize for using it. I do not, however, feel bad for insulting a pathetic troll like you.
