Did you have to be so brutally honest lmao

I think a lot of writers just have no experience in corporate/office jobs so this is the result. Actually it's not just the representation of foreign companies, sometimes even in korean "workplace scenes" it's like they're playing dress up lol. The poor scenario and english here just made it worse.

NGNL exceeded my expectations, it's fun because it's unapologetically goofy and unserious. ENA is continuing a streak of well made thrillers with surprisingly good ratings (for its channel). I'm curious about how its romance shows airing later in the year will fare.

For me, the more dramatic sequences are not gelling well with the slice-of-life stuff. It's kind of jarring to quickly go from laidback, cute scenes to serious ones like the whole Chris fiasco. They are written very artificially, just like you said, conveniently existing only for the romance to move forward. Good writing should make the elements complement each other instead.

I won't spoil HCCC for you, but it also involved something pretty dramatic, and I personally thought that was also a weak point of its story.

The whole thing made the Greip employees look like clowns more than anything else lmao.

So far, this drama is fine but has those occasional cringey/bad scenes that just turn me off. At first, it was the totally unfunny violence of a mother towards her grown daughter. Now in episode 4, there's a whole work sequence that is very hard to take seriously. Within half an episode, the FL's company all the way from the US happened to be ML's client, she happened to overhear their private conversation, and the people in charge also happened to be her shitty ex-colleagues. That's just way too many coincidences happening in half of an episode, no? And the entire point of this was for the ML to be FL's knight in shining armour and to let him see her in her most vulnerable state. I mean sure, that's done in like 90% of dramas, but the way all of this happened could have been less intentional and forced. To top it all off, there's the atrocious english dialogue. The least they could have done was make it sound convincing enough, or hire an actor actually fluent in English for the Chris dude. Like so sorry to the guy, but I had to laugh when he said he immigrated to the US at eight y/o. The whole thing also got resolved way too easily but if that means I don't have to see those colleagues again, so be it lmao.

So yeah... latest episode didn't end on a nice note for me lol.

I'm so sorry for being petty but that's not the lowest she's weighed "in her life" lol. That's the lowest she weighed as an adult, because she would've weighed less when she was growing up. Anyway she did a good job in the role even if I didn't like the series, and I could see the effort to transform herself.

The plot is ridiculous but first ep was kinda fun lol.

I think this is good and engaging so far. I'm pretty sure it's a complicated case involving almost all the characters, most likely including several villagers which is why they all want the ML (who's the 'Snow White') gone. Almost everyone is obnoxious in some way but it's realistic.

I still like this show but it's starting to cross a little into makjang territory.

I'm on episode 6 but it's safe to say that I do not like this at all. As soon as the story picked up pace, there have been a plethora of logical holes. And it's filled with a LOT of empty scenes. Apart from Yoon Kyesang and Go Minsi's characters, almost everyone else is uninteresting/frustrating to watch.

Interesting. But I can imagine it being controversial with viewers if her 2 personalities are simultaneously in separate relationships. I guess the writer is avoiding this by making the FL break up with the ML right at the start.

To add to that, the 2FL has a one-sided crush on the 2ML. It's a love quadrangle lol.

3 episodes in. It is extremely slow-burn, I'm waiting for the pieces to connect and a climax to happen. Tbh, it's not very gripping so far and I feel the urge to FF at points. I will definitely be mad if the payoff isn't satisfying lol.

Tbh I was turned off by the poster, it looks cartoonish and almost bad. But the long trailer actually seemed promising and SMA is always cute, so I'll check it out.

Yeah, not to be mean but I don't even know why he has a lead role in this show. He's bad in everything I've seen him in and while he isn't that horrible here, he still sticks out like a sore thumb in a cast of good actors.

Preposterous is the word lol. SHS pulled off the drama with the most wonky premise ever (a.k.a Mr Queen), so I have no doubts about her.

So the FL is working as an announcer and her other personality is a parking attendant. The character description says she's ambitious and also works on the weekends. Assuming she's doing full time, the alter has to work at the night shift... Isn't that extreme overwork? I won't be surprised if she discovers her condition because she collapses from exhaustion

Tbh that's what I felt when she broke down at the playground and it took me out a bit. But to be fair, the character's behaviours are very jarring due to her mental state and it's hard to pull that off.

Er, I am Asian and have Asian parents, who were very "Asian" in almost every aspect. I can imagine my parents being worked up in that situation but in no way will they start beating me as a grown adult, much less with vegetables lmao. I've never heard of any Asian parent do that to their 30-something child. I've seen many similar scenes in dranas and I find them funny sometimes, but it was just a tad distasteful watching it go on and on.
