I understand the hype because we haven’t seen much like this till now, but I might drop this. I really dislike…
People, please remember that fiction is fiction. You can hold morals that fictional characters don’t, and you can still enjoy characters like Hua Yong, who’s clearly a red/black flag, without it taking away from your own personal values.
For example, I’m enjoying the new season of Dexter and love his character, does that mean I like serial killers or condone murder? Of course not. Let’s appreciate a drama without constantly comparing it to our own lives.
As someone already pointed out, if we applied real-life morals to fiction all the time, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy some of the greatest series in the world like Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, The Boys, The Handmaid’s Tale, Westworld, You, and many more.
I’m honestly surprised by the low ratings for Trigger. For me, it was a really solid watch—I didn’t get bored for even a second. And as someone who gets bored easily, that says a lot! This is exactly the kind of thriller I enjoy. The main character was compelling, even though I usually struggle with MCs who act morally superior. Kim Young Kwang as Moon Baek? Wow—what a charismatic villain! They should seriously cast more young actors as villains; he absolutely nailed it. The supporting characters were great too—Ji Hyun (the student from the first Trigger) stood out, and even the gangsters were written in a way that made you sympathize with them. The writing was tight, the pacing was good, and overall I’d give it a 9/10. Netflix needs to give us more limited series like this!
I like that we got some background in today’s Episode 4—like the origin of Mr. X and why Hua Yong renamed his company that. I think a lot of people missed these small but important details and just called the episode boring, maybe because there was less interaction between Hua Yong and Sheng Shao You. But the plot is clearly building around them—it’s not just about romantic moments.
I’ll say it again: please don’t hate on the main leads just because you prefer the second couple. You’re absolutely allowed to like both. But let’s be honest—Gao Tu’s scenes feel emotional because they’re limited. If he were on screen more, the hype might not be the same. The heart of the story is still the Enigma relationship between Hua Yong and Sheng Shao You, not the secondary plot.
Gao Tu carrying this entire series on his back fr.The vaguely robotic acting, the bg music and the slow pace is…
Gao Tu is great, but saying he’s carrying the whole series is a bit much. The main plot clearly revolves around Hua Yong and Sheng Shao You—the Enigma twist is rare and drives the entire story. Gao Tu’s scenes are limited and emotional, but that’s exactly why people are idealizing him. If he had more screen time, the hype might level out. Let’s not ignore the actual core of the show.
It’s wild how fast people have turned on the main couple and are suddenly obsessed with the second couple. Like… we’re just a few episodes in. Don’t forget: the second couple only exists because of the main one.
I get it, they’re charming—I enjoy their scenes too—but hating on the main leads just to hype them up? That’s unnecessary. You can support both without turning it into a competition.
And honestly, part of why people love the second couple is because they have limited screen time. If they had more focus, people would probably start calling them “boring” too. It’s funny how perception works like that.
I noticed majority are claiming they are so much invested in the second couple and I keep wondering why. There's…
@Winetouch thank you, I was thinking the same. We're just at the beginning of the series, and already there's hate for the main couple and preference for the second couple. People need to remember that the second couple is secondary—they wouldn’t even exist without the main couple.
I get it, people like them—I like them too! But that doesn't mean you have to hate the main couple. You're allowed to like both.
Also, I’ve noticed that when a second couple has limited screen time, people tend to idealize them more. If they had more scenes, some might even start saying they’re boring. I guess that’s just how things go sometimes.
Ok I like that Armin accepts the Princess treatment from Tada, the man is so passionate about his love. He is a gentleman, a sugar daddy, a lover, he is everything and the look on his eyes when he’s watching Armin wow… Monday is now my favorite day.
Ok I think I like this season better than the other 2 seasons and I don't know maybe I find the characters are better than season 1.
I am just wondering how much Lee Jung Jae is paid in both Squid Game Season 2 and 3? Please someone tell me because he is the most useless main character I ever ever see in the history of K-drama, I dislike his character so so much in all the three seasons. Honestly they should continue season 2 without him, everyone was good except him.
And congratulations to both Park Gyu Young and Park Sung Hoon they both nailed their roles, I like them a lot. Gyu Young should definitely do more action and thriller because she is so badass I like her in Sweet Home and like her here.
That's Jihoon-Hyunwook shippers, not Suho-Sieun. Please make the distinction even if they seem the same to you.…
I totally agreed with both of you, now people are thinking celebrities have to think as them which is ridiculous. I indeed ship Sieun-Suho together but never Jihoon-Hyunwook but I understand some people do, and I just mind my own business.
There is just something I don't understand since the release of Weak Hero Class 1 in 2022, people were shipping Sieun-Suho/Jihoon-Hyunwook together both Korea and international fans(YouTube is full of old videos from them), nobody was getting mad then, I don't know why so many people are getting mad now, is it because they're new watchers or? Because I don't understand why become furious to the point of been mean just because the Director said they're in love.
Regarding Jihoon-Hyunwook shippers like @GigglySnickerDoodle said if the actors don't mind, who are we to defend them against their shippers?
Guys, Netflix K-Content was live with all the cast of Class 1 and 2. I only watched the end of panel of Class 1 and the panel of Class 2 and the reunion of the two classes. Honestly, I want to watch Class 1 panel but they have make the video private.
I just noted the Director said the fact that Class 2 will be in the global platform like Netflix they have turn down about the sadness and the violence to appeal to global audience( which I think was a bad idea) and the Director said he felt sorry for Si Eun, also they (the Director and executive producer) kept saying they want to extend the story, they kept saying that I believe two times. Guys, I am not a delulu ok? But I think maybe we will get a Class 3. I didn't like Class 2 as much I liked Class 1 but if there is a season 3, I am willing to trust the Director for the decision he made for Class 2.
And for the shippers of Si Eun and Su Ho(like me), Ji Hoon said that Su Ho is like Si Eun's first love and the Director agreed it's like more than friendship. I do believe the cast is like us and check Youtube sometimes, Lee Yeon( the girl in Class 1) said she watch Youtube Short of Class 1, I think Ji Hoon and Hyun Wook know we ship their character together.
What happened? I think they ruined Si Eun character, he was so "fragile" in this season in contradiction of the Si Eun of season 1 and the Webtoon. What make "Weak Hero" Weak Hero is the ability of the MC to fight and win his fights with his "weak" ability but strong intelligent mind but in this season all Si Eun's fights were not good. I also think chemistry was off in this season I couldn't click with Si Eun's new friends, with Su Ho chemistry was at the top top of the roof but this season, this is Netflix, this is not ok. Season 1 was a solid 10 if I can give it 100 I will, but this season I only give 8.5, studios, writers don't listen to Netflix and ruin your masterpiece project for nothing. Really I am mad I don't know why, 2 years of excitement and they give us that? I hope the Director will see the critics and will learn from it.
Ok I watched it again on Netflix and still so good I can watch ten times and I will still cry at the end. Netflix want to kill us, just release the season 2, we've waited more than 2 years, but they keep push it back again and again. I hope this month will be it^^
I don't know if it's something they teach in bl writing school but why do thai bl writers literally hate making…
You perfectly describe the things I didn't like about the show. I was so impatient to see the next episode, I read and finished the novel in one week, and I have to say if novel Joe is also stupid this Joe is more stupid, the 2 last episodes was really not for me. I also want to give a 9/10 but I gave a 8.5 because of the last episodes.
I saw so many comments saying they can relate to Watari, and I am joining them. I can definitely relate to him; living in Japan before and now outside of Japan, burnout is so real, depression was there. I understand now that life is so short; don't die for a job that will replace you the next day. If you feel depressed every time you wake up to go to work, it means that job is not for you.
Anyway, I really liked this drama; it was perfect but perfectly short.
Ok, I wanted to start this Drama but I think I will wait to see if it's really good, the ranking is bad for a new series and the comments scare me, I don't like love triangle, I don't like annoying FL so I will wait. I wanted to watch this Drama because of the plot and I liked the acting of Lee Jae Wook in Death's Game but if it's mostly romance and love triangle, I think this Drama will not be for me.
For example, I’m enjoying the new season of Dexter and love his character, does that mean I like serial killers or condone murder? Of course not. Let’s appreciate a drama without constantly comparing it to our own lives.
