not ever wearing a hat XD. 3.0 is where Douban scores will get set.

yes, what's the fuss about AI. Dialogues and immersive storytelling are everything.

that is true. He seems to be thinking "why am I here". He was good also in The Story of Kunning Palace. I know people disagree about what is good acting, but his acting here is not good and how could it be as the script and lines are ridiculous.

20 minutes is enough to see the ingredients of a drama. The quality of dialogues, cinematography, pacing. Sticking around and waiting means there's never enough time to watch the really great dramas (ones that are award worthy). Strongly agree about Silent Tides. Republican era in the context of Overdo means nothing but clothing style. I'd recommend The Guardians, War of Faith, Lost Identity, and Fearless Blood for absolutely great Republican era dramas.

The discussion is typical bloody MDL fan warfare. If you really like to know what people think of Overdo, you can check out cdrama reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/CDrama/comments/1v0gwiq/overdo_%E8%BF%99%E4%B8%80%E7%A7%92%E8%BF%87%E7%81%AB_2026_what_are_your_first_impressions/

I've watched PoJ twice and loved also The Story of Kunning Palace. ZL can act, but Overdo is just so bad and I blame the director and script. Overdo is unintentionally comic over the top makjang. With torturous overdone background music on top.

agreed

after 10 mins of ep 2, I couldn't continue with this. What you say is most likely accurate. The writer wrote Jang Ok Jung, that was old skool and slow (from today's perspective, but unfortunately creativity doesn't grow in trees). I sat through it bc of Yoo Ah In.

chaebols, politicians & corruption - seems that k-dramaworld can't do without these, regardless of genre. It's so old to me. However, I like Yang Se Jong, always. I wish Park Eun Bin's face didn't have so much filters (or whatever it is that makes her look almost faceless).

GaroSatan's paw, pls block me

thank you so much!

Most memorable scenes: When Han Dong begged on his knees, breaking down in tears, for the car video containing the evidence of assault. Mei Yue's speech for the reporters. A Mei's and Mei Yue's friendship. The hospital scene with Sister Ling and how A Mei and Mei Yue forgave all her crappy deeds in the end.

The ending was very satisfactory. Would wholeheartedly recommend this one. Emotional and touching drama, although it's very dark. The main suspense element is whether the main couple's relationship will hold or not, when their immensely difficult pasts slowly get revealed. Bad things happening to basically good people kind of trope. 8.5/10

yes, with A Mei. She's that kind of character, I enjoyed it

well said, I felt the same

Dropped at ep 15. Too disgusted to continue. A word of warning: read the comment section before decision to watch.

Life is too short to spend time on a drama without a single relatable character.

You haven't watched any of these. There's a general understanding that idol dramas and ambitious dramas are two different categories.

This pulled me in from the first minute. It's dark but good. Tong Da Wei and Esther Wang are great actors.

very true. It's going in dangerous directions (granny, gangster, silly 2nd couple)...if the next ep doesn't get back to the health center and islanders' illnesses it's a propable drop for me. Lee Jae Wook is a great actor indeed and this pairing with Shin Ye Eun actually worked. (I'm tired of mismatched ml&fl dramas)

Salon de Nabi. Flowers in the Sand.

very much agree with you. How was FLs family so much better, that was crazy thinking.
