Yeah.I didn't enjoy this drama much and found both the leads lacking in their role here.... although writing and…
for me, the show had some good and bad parts. i wish the writing, editing, and direction was better. the only thing i liked was the lead's acting. some loved it, some liked it, and others hated it. the show is over and it is what it is. it's just another kdrama that will be replaced by another kdrama. it's not that serious so the discourse is amusing to me.
i have no idea about fanwars but i did notice the targeted harassment has gotten progressively worse on all social media platforms. insults, derogatory comments, making multiple fake accounts to spread hate, and even pretending to be fans of other actresses to involve unrelated actresses in their manufactured hate train. like i said before actresses have never known peace on social media, but it's beyond disturbing at this point.
it might be an unpopular opinion, but i wasn't a fan of lovely runner or their chemistry but that's just me. i didn't spend hours writing hate comments or trying to tear down the leads.
"shouldn't both the FL and ML's respective fanbases be cheering on for the other half's future success?" that's an interesting question, but honestly i don't think fanbases have to cheer on a former costar's success. why would you unless you're a fan? no fan owes a former co-star hype once the project ends. fans should focus on their bias and their current work. however, what has been happening is self-destructive mentally ill people have spent months attacking her or her new projects. it's never about constructive criticism or actual opinions—it's coordinated and obsessive targeted harassment. they suffer in real life so they vent online, but like i said the feeling is temporary because they will still be themselves once the wifi is off.
she is an critically acclaimed actress. that is a fact whether they like it or not. she will keep getting roles and living her life while they continue waste their energy on someone who doesn't know or care they exist. i do hope they seek professional help, but sadly they will use their time to make more fake accounts to fill the empty void in their lives.
Omg the MDL rating is patheticBut again the hype across all social media was non existent and i didn’t even…
for me, the show had it's pros and cons. there were parts i liked and parts i didn't like. honestly, i would suggest watching the show yourself and coming up with your opinion because you won't get an unbiased review from a neutral pov.
i know MDL was never a safe space for actresses, but the coordinated harassment using multiple accounts is disturbing. this level of sustained hate requires toxic emotional investment, which isn't healthy. if someone truly didn't care, you would scroll past. an obsession like this usually signals unresolved feelings—projection, jealousy, loneliness, low self-worth, or a need for control—channeled outward. celebrities are safe outlets to harass—no consequences, no pushback. it might feel cathartic to vent and judge them harshly but it's temporary. at the end of the day these celebrities will still be beautiful, rich and famous and you will still be you making multiple hate accounts to distract from your own self-hate.
think about it why invest so much time and emotion into someone you claim to despise? creating fictional grudges in your head with celebrities you have never met and using online spaces to vent is a cry for help.
from a professional standpoint some of you don't need hobbies. you need to seek professional help. this is not hate or shade, but a genuine suggestion. it's never too late to speak to a psychiatrist or get medication. i know a lot of communities stigmatize mental help, but there is no shame in getting help.
started out strong, but the script was all over the place towards the end. it's obvious 12 episodes wasn't not enough for the character development and the plot. i wasn't expecting that ending, but i did like it because you don't have to change who you are for love. the villain subplot could've been better. i still don't understand why the shaman was obsessed with her?
it's hard to call the show a romcom when there wasn't any romance or comedy. the writers wrote their characters as if they were married couple not strangers falling in love for the first time. honestly, it's impressive that hyeyoon and lomon's chemistry was that good given they got nothing. the chemistry despite the nonexistent romcom script saved the show for me.
overall, the entire cast acting was good, but the script and direction hindered it.
i really enjoyed the first episode. it was entertaining and it felt like it ended so quickly. definitely a good setup for the show. hyeyoon and lomon's chemistry is good too.
eunho’s disillusionment with humans is a refreshing change from typical gumiho characters who desperately want to be human. she is conceding, but she has valid points so you can't dislike her lol. her methods may be questionable, but i understand the motivation. living for 900 years she has seen the worse of humanity so it make sense why she doesn't want to be human. it will be fun to see her softer side because she definitely has it from the opening scene.
hyeyoon did an amazing job shedding her previous character. her tone, posture, and even movements are very deliberate. i love how her eunho is a quick-talking gumiho who rarely bothers to slow down or explain things to humans. if you get it then you get it. if not, she’ll just use magic instead of trying to clarify because humans are dumb lol.
as for siyeol, i really like his character. tbh i wouldn't describe siyeol as narcissistic. there is a difference in being confident and being narcissistic. being proud of your skills especially when an authority figure that is supposed to guide wants you to diminish your light for someone else to shine. he could have a chip on his shoulder because the cards he was dealt weren't fair, but he doesn't. i'm happy the writers didn't make him the one-dimensional cruel lead.
lomon is doing an amazing job as siyeol. he brings such a likability factor to his character. i think i'm supposed to be annoyed, but it comes off endearing. he believes in himself and his talent, which makes me as a viewer want to root for him.
overall, solid first episode. i can't wait to watch episode 2!
finally had a chance to watch ep 1 & 2 and the show is so good. i had no idea it was based on a webtoon but it makes sense because it has the webtoon vibe.
projecting your own insecurities onto her while painting it as an "opinion" is a sad way to cope. i hope…
as a psych major, we did an entire study on the link between low self-esteem and online engagement. the ire framed as "opinions" directed at celebrities stems from internal struggles rather than the actual person. again, i sincerely hope you heal.
2026 will be so amazing for kdramas. we have so many new pairings and genres. i don't get the negativity, but who cares. sad people desperate for attention aren't going to ruin it for me.
Last time I checked, everyone was bashing an actress for doing three romcoms in a row but no one says the same…
is everyone in the room with us? this is the first time i'm hearing about an actress being bashed for doing romcoms? what's wrong with doing romcoms? instead of pointing out the absurdity you bash another actress. also, if you're in her comment section (along with other very sad people) trying to demean her, you obviously know who she is and her new show so what nugu privilege are you referring to?
She always seems to get cast with all the good looking male leads, while a very pretty actress only gets paired…
it's simple romcoms are all about visuals and chemistry and for her it's always a hit because she has the visuals to match her costars. no actress or actor cast themselves in a project. directors offers her scripts because they know she is suited for it and she accepts if she likes it. maybe you should try respecting your fave's choice in dramas and by extension her costars because i'm sure she picked those roles for a reason.
This is a good premise, but I’m not fully convinced about the casting of Kim Hye-yoon. Personally, I find her…
projecting your own insecurities onto her while painting it as an "opinion" is a sad way to cope. i hope you find the will to focus on your own growth and heal instead of wasting energy on superficial judgments about someone else, who clearly doesn't have the insecurities that plague you.
wow i had no idea that hyeyoon had haters. it's honestly sad how fans fight over the most ridiculous stuff, even when all the actresses and actors are doing amazing. so many awesome shows are dropping, why be bitter and nasty online? none of these celebrities will see your pathetic comments because they are busy living their successful lives. aren't you embarrassed to be screaming into the void while a bunch strangers watch. just fangirl and enjoy the talent you actually like instead of spreading hate.
omg finally we have a release date! i was waiting for this show. a gumiho that doesn't want to be human being and a world star soccer player is an interesting combo. i love hyeyoon and lomon shows so i'm excited to see them together.
i'm looking forward to this show. i love romcoms and their chemistry looks amazing from the trailer too. i'm happy it's available on netflix worldwide.
