Thanks for the honest review đ It saved me from wasting time on this spineless ML drama. Early warnings like yours are super helpful. And donât mind those self-righteous folks crying about âyou canât review if you dropped itâ â your experience matters just as much. They act like higher ratings will put food on their table đ.
how can you leave a review for a show you didnt even finishâŠ.. bad etiquette
Anyone who watched and dropped a show has every right to leave a review. Thatâs part of their experience, and it can be just as useful for others to know why someone didnât finish. Reviews arenât only for people who stuck it out until the end. You donât get to decide what others can or canât doâso maybe keep your âetiquetteâ to yourself.
Just three years? That's a significant penalty. He did the crime, he did his time. Let it go.
Oh, so youâre a rape apologist now? Three years banned from the industry is not âdoing timeâ â thatâs just a career break, not jail. And who exactly made you the authority to decide whatâs âenoughâ for a sexual crime? The trauma can haunt victims for decades, but you think 3 years off work is fine? Pathetic.
Are you one of those people that can't separate real life from entertainment?
Funny how youâre acting like the celebâs personal pet dog â so eager to jump in and protect your master. You even had time to dig up an old comment just to prove your loyalty. Impressive dedication⊠or maybe just boredom.
Honestly i think many actirs in korea can do better but its the writing and directing. Ive noticed many actors…
You're absolutely rightâand you're not alone in feeling this way. That formula has become painfully predictable in a lot of K-dramas. The male lead (ML) is often the cold, rich, emotionally stunted heir with parent issues, while the female lead (FL) is the hardworking, quirky underdog from a humble background. Add in a few overused tropesâlike "accidental cohabitation," "rich vs poor class divide," or "secret birth"âand you basically have 70% of mainstream dramas.
What makes it worse is that many Korean actors are incredibly talented, but they get boxed into these typecast roles because thatâs what production houses think will sell. So instead of letting them experiment or grow, they keep replaying the same character arc with slightly different packaging.
Ironically, when shows do break the mold (like My Mister, Move to Heaven, Stranger, or Through the Darkness), they get massive critical praiseâbut those dramas donât always hit huge mainstream numbers. So we end up stuck in a loop of "rich CEO + candy FL + trauma dump + magical love story."
Itâs like someone in the K-drama committee said:
> âIf heâs not rich, rude, and broken insideâis he even a male lead?â đ
And if sheâs not poor and too nice for her own goodâthen whereâs the tragic Cinderella payoff?
Why did you watch it if you donât like him?? đđ
Thatâs just your personal opinion, not a fact. Just because my views donât align with yours doesnât make them âbarking.â Everyone has the right to express their opinionsâeven when they differ from yours. Respect that right instead of acting like a fascist trying to silence dissent. Freedom of speech applies to everyone, not just those you agree with.
Terrible performance? Blame it on the script not actor...
"Why blame only the script? When the performance is praised, it's the actor who gets all the creditâand a bigger paycheckânot the writer. But when it's criticized, suddenly it's the script's fault? You canât have it both ways."
Why did you watch it if you donât like him?? đđ
> Why is it âdisgustingâ to say I watch dramas for the female lead? When did I ever say it was to fulfill some sexual fantasy?
And even if someone did watch something for attraction â why is that automatically shameful? Thereâs a whole legal global industry built around sexual expression.
But when women openly fangirl over male idols, drool over abs, or write fantasy fanfics â thatâs called âcute,â ânormal,â or âempowering.â So why does it become âdisgustingâ only when a man appreciates a woman?
Sounds like selective outrage and pseudo-feminism. Equality means the standards apply to everyone â not just when it's convenient for one gender.
Why did you watch it if you donât like him?? đđ
So when someoneâs opinion doesnât match yours, it becomes barking â but if it matches, suddenly itâs gospel? Freedom of speech isnât barking, Just because you donât like whatâs said doesnât mean itâs noise.
How evil?? He sued her because he was falsely accused. Imagine if you were falsely accused, what would you do…
How is that not evil? He sued someone who accused him of rapeâand because the burden of proof in Korea is unfairly placed on the victim, she couldn't prove it and ended up in jail.
Korean law is structured in a way that protects the accused more than the victim, even in rape cases. Rapists often get away with just probation, while someone who fails to prove the accusation can be jailed for defamation. How does that make sense?
Imagine being a victim and then ending up behind bars just because you couldnât prove itâdoes that sound like justice?
Why did you watch it if you donât like him?? đđ
He wasn't the only actor in the whole show, you know. Also, just because I donât like a male actor doesnât mean I canât watch a drama. Iâm a straight guy, so obviously I donât watch shows for male leadsâI watch them for the female lead or the story, like many others do.
And calling someone a âstalkerâ while replying to my comment uninvited? Thatâs some next-level projection. Maybe check the mirror first.
Unworthy guy instead of waiting for getting kicked out.
