yeah but realistic doesn't have to be boring though, and ROY was really really boring.I don't enjoy Park Bogum's…
it was dead ass boring but we can still understand why some characters did what they did if we try to... thats not the case for startup... even the breakup was justified... she can no longer invest so much in a relationship at that point of time so she broke up with him... but startup breakup looked like they brokeup for the sake of it... i have only seen park bo gum in love in the moonlight which i dropped after ep 7-8 because it became so boring and reply 1988 which also i dropped but not because it wasnt a good drama... it is a really good drama and i already knew who she ends up with but i felt bad for the 2nd guy so i stopped watching it around ep 6 or 7...
Please kdrama writers give me more "battle couple" and less "damsel in distress". These Korean fantasy stories…
lee yeon is too powerful and smart to get a weak point for the villain... so it made sense why the villain was inside jiah... until he got to know the main part of imoogi was inside jiah he defeated the imoogi like a pro in everything else... he fooled and killed that dream selling lady like a boss and gave a direct warning to imoogi... also unlike most damsel in distress that makes dumb decisions and screws everything up for everyone, jiah was literally helpless... there was nothing she can do to solve anything... she cannot even kill herself to save others... even lee rang with powers couldnt do anything against imoogi because imoogi has the power to manipulate and control everyone... jiah helped yeon as much as she can... she never screwed up any of his plans by acting on her own... she got out of the dream trap on her own because of her mental strength...
The ending wasn't happy in my opinion ,, why lost Lee Rang at the finale ,, doesn't he fit with his family or…
lee rang has done too many evil things to just move on and have a happy ending... he got the best deal considering he reincarnated as a human with a loving mother right away and get to start a new life with clean slate...
how to appreciate average drama? - what below average dramas... record of youth makes much more sense after watching startup... it was boring but realistic and logical for 80% of the time... it didnt had much loopholes and the behavious of the main characters were understandable...
a lot of dramas would have done better if it wasnt for the big names attached to it... big names automatically…
there are amazing actresses like gong hyo jin, bae doona etc but they dont have that hallyu star status... with such a long list of successful dramas gong hyo jin should have been having more star power and hype than some of the hallyu actresses...
the funny part is its actually the international fans that over-hype some of these young actors because of their looks...
a lot of dramas would have done better if it wasnt for the big names attached to it... big names automatically…
with startup they should have cast a lesser known male lead and went with a strong love traingle then decide the ending based on audience reaction... this drama would have done so much more better... i find half of the hallyu stars are overrated and over-hyped... there are only very few whose acting is at-least half as good as their popularity... i agree that only acting skills are not the criteria to be a star and he/she should have this immense screen presence and charisma as well... i only find just 2-3 hallyu stars like kim soo hyun, park seo joo and ji chang wook to have decent acting skills, great screen presence and that x-factor and aura to be stars as well as considered to be good actors as well... out of the female actresses i only find son yeji and jun ji hyun to have that superstar aura... i think gong yoo is the perfect hallyu star... does amazing movies and dramas and have wide range of acting skills as well... actors like jo jung suk, yoo yeon seok, jun ji hoon, lee jung gi, kim nam gil deserves more stardom... they are such amazing actors...
Before the episode airs, let's make a list of things the author failed to portray so far:1- The first one to see…
i guess the makers were actually planning to make dalmi feel conflicted about her feelings for both dosan and hjp but they changed the story after the immense popularity of hjp/ksh because they knew they will have it harder if HJP gets more scenes with dalmi... in the initial episodes they clearly indicated that hjp still had a shot with her... they showed dalmi saying she will still like the old dosan more and then showed hjp nourishing the plant... then just in few days the letters meant literally nothing to her and she didnt even care to get proper answers from anyone...
Hmm, the newer ones are taking this long.TKEM also took 10 months to film.
i havent watched tkem and dont even intent to in the neat future but i guess vfx and elaborated sets will cost them more and kdramas are good with rich camera works and expensive wardrobes( esp for male leads)... kdrama is the only place were i see male characters dressing better than female characters...
The thing is, this is Netflix. To get your drama on there, you need good names. I mean look at PBIO, TKEM, SU,…
netflix also had dodosolsol, private life and uncanny counter with no hallyu stars... i think do do sol sol created some buzz at the start and uncanny is doing well... i guess nobody knew when private life started and ended... shows like flower of evil, 18 again and tale of the nine tailed deserved to be on netflix... totnt had its flaws but its way better than startup and record of youth...
The msgs go by so fast and don't know when those messages were posted... The drama had excellent reviews when it started and the first 5-6episodes were amazing as well...
you still trying to find logic in a fantasy drama?
yes... dean winchester... i have never drooled over a fictional character as much as him... even though i stopped watching supernatural by s10, dean winchester will forever will be special...
the uncanny counter which airs at 10:30pm on ocn with no hallyu stars and star writer manages to get the same rating as startup... i havent watched it yet but has been seeing only good reviews... if a good drama with good storyline can bring the same rating as a drama with big budget and big star cast whats the need to give so much money to popular actors... just cast good actors if the makers are confident about the content...

i have only seen park bo gum in love in the moonlight which i dropped after ep 7-8 because it became so boring and reply 1988 which also i dropped but not because it wasnt a good drama... it is a really good drama and i already knew who she ends up with but i felt bad for the 2nd guy so i stopped watching it around ep 6 or 7...
until he got to know the main part of imoogi was inside jiah he defeated the imoogi like a pro in everything else... he fooled and killed that dream selling lady like a boss and gave a direct warning to imoogi...
also unlike most damsel in distress that makes dumb decisions and screws everything up for everyone, jiah was literally helpless... there was nothing she can do to solve anything... she cannot even kill herself to save others... even lee rang with powers couldnt do anything against imoogi because imoogi has the power to manipulate and control everyone... jiah helped yeon as much as she can... she never screwed up any of his plans by acting on her own... she got out of the dream trap on her own because of her mental strength...

the funny part is its actually the international fans that over-hype some of these young actors because of their looks...
i find half of the hallyu stars are overrated and over-hyped... there are only very few whose acting is at-least half as good as their popularity...
i agree that only acting skills are not the criteria to be a star and he/she should have this immense screen presence and charisma as well... i only find just 2-3 hallyu stars like kim soo hyun, park seo joo and ji chang wook to have decent acting skills, great screen presence and that x-factor and aura to be stars as well as considered to be good actors as well...
out of the female actresses i only find son yeji and jun ji hyun to have that superstar aura...
i think gong yoo is the perfect hallyu star... does amazing movies and dramas and have wide range of acting skills as well...
actors like jo jung suk, yoo yeon seok, jun ji hoon, lee jung gi, kim nam gil deserves more stardom... they are such amazing actors...
in the initial episodes they clearly indicated that hjp still had a shot with her... they showed dalmi saying she will still like the old dosan more and then showed hjp nourishing the plant... then just in few days the letters meant literally nothing to her and she didnt even care to get proper answers from anyone...
su - start up
shows like flower of evil, 18 again and tale of the nine tailed deserved to be on netflix... totnt had its flaws but its way better than startup and record of youth...
this show took 8 months to be made? they had all the time in the world and still screwed up... normally kdramas only take 4-5 months....
