not the dramas

The idiot childish fluffy romantic drama watcher theory. Making assumptions about why people like or dislike particular dramas will satisfy your sense of superiority which is what most commenters using the theory are after. Pls try to stick to commenting about the drama, not bashing other watchers.

You're misunderstanding my reasons for not liking it, it's not purely the sex scenes. Pls read again.

Great minds alike! :)

I hated The Glory quite intensely, and I saw that it was a turning point too. I'm finding great older k-dramas too, I loved "Never Twice" and "My Unfamiliar Family". Will check out Two Weeks.

this happens to be a commenting site so the reason why people blab is that this is a drama commenting site. If you dislike comments, pls just watch the drama and don't read the comments.

It doesn't enter their heads that some people may have a wider view of the k-drama production situation.

I block all the rudies. Queen Woo comments must have caused 30 new blockings.

I gave up trying to add tags (in the ones where none existed before) or make edits. The rejections come almost automatically, so why bother.

me too. I'd never watch the Game of Thrones, couldn't watch. K-dramas are superior in many ways, the character depth and story development are engaging without any shock values or forced wokeness. Best k-dramas are heartwarming and sympathetic towards even not-so-perfect-humans. I can also see the loss of the essence of k-dramas. Or lack of understanding and respect for what makes k-dramas great. Particularly in Disney productions. Am drifting to c-dramas, with all these disappointments in recent k-dramas.

yes, we know that k-movies are different from k-dramas. You're assuming people were animals in Goryeo times, I don't believe that for a minute. Human evolution, it's a wild fantasy both ways.

in case you didn't watch yet, it's just one of the many reasons not to like, this one sums it up pretty well what there is to criticize: https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/k-pop/k-drama/article/3276679/k-drama-queen-woo-part-i-review-jeon-jong-seo-ji-chang-wook-turgid-period-drama

I can understand why the daughter doesn't want the father back with the mother, but I can't understand why the mother would have something against the daughter's new relationship.

I agree with you. Also I can already see that this s***show will win all the awards. It has none of the qualities which made me fall in love with k-dramas and all the qualities that made me stop watching western dramas.

There's no need to bash other commenters, just write your opinion about the drama. People will ALWAYS disagree about the qualities of dramas due to different experiences and backgrounds. MDL's pretty toxic these days, I think there should be a big banner in all pages laying down some ground rules of discussion. I don't think I've ever seen so many comments insulting other people as here though. You can't make people agree with you by insulting them.

a very accurate review, imo

the whole drama is an epic failure. No resemblance to the sageuks we know and love. It's a western drama. No character depth, no meaningful dialogues, ridiculous sound effects, fighting and sex scenes just for the sake of appealing to non-k-drama watchers. I can't even distinguish the characters from one another because it's all dark all the time. Queen is far from queenly, she doesn't portray internal strenght (which we're led to believe she must possess). Whoever she marries and which clan wins from the multitude introduced, I couldn't care less. We're given no background about what their policies are, so all of this fighting is just for the sake of fighting, supposedly. I don't believe people were that basic even in pre-historical times. Most characters are pure psychos, which makes them totally uninteresting. 1/10 to this crap. This is an honest opinion from a historical k-drama lover and I'm not the only one who feels this way about this drama (read the article) so don't come at me.

This one's genuinely funny and entertaining. The leads and their chemistry are awesome. I thought I'd never like romcoms again after the many recent disappointments (the 4 ones that started in the last 2 weeks). But this one proves once again that it's not about genre for me. Either the drama pulls me in and makes me invested from the start, or not.

The whole site needs some rules of discussion. Unfortunately it's been sliding downhill for a year or so.
