Trending today: Zhao Lusi is single.Maybe this is the start of the promotion. Hope this will really start soon!…
True. I'm familiar with her because of a friend. She can't wait for it to air just for it to be done and ZLS won't get hate anymore. So I understand. Promos or not, I've no expectations. Just looking forward to the drama since I read the novel.
Trending today: Zhao Lusi is single.Maybe this is the start of the promotion. Hope this will really start soon!…
I just meant the leads together. Individually or with other cast is more possible, just like ZLS during the drama announcement and ZLS with LY and XL during the drama presentation.
Oh, I do have to add, though, that I really liked Tiffy! It's rare to get such an awesome female character in…
I agree. And I liked her even more with her decision to leave Aey. Some were disappointed with her but she did nothing wrong. She was a good manager and friend to him. And she had every right to choose the people she want in her life. The special showed she made a good decision. She is doing well, and I love that for her.
It wasn't bad, but I felt like there were several plot lines that just fell flat or were left unresolved. While…
Aey's ending showed that actions have consequences. Having a sob backstory doesn't excuse what he did. He wanted the fans love and sympathy. He got it. All the gifts and flowers. But at the end of the day, they were all material things.
Aside from that stunt he pulled, the special showed that actors who are known from bls/ship have a hard time leaving that image. And the fans being possessive when their actors work with others. Hence no director/producer wanted to cast him.
Sib didn't have the same problem because he chose a quiet life with Gene. It's consistent with the ending here where he waited till his contract was finished to reunite with Gene.
Aey's ending is realistic, esp. in Thailand where a lot of bl ships are still acting as their characters/ships years later. So its pretty much on brand. And a spin-off would only happen if there is enough demand for it.
Why did they have to turn all my favorite characters into zombies and kill them? Yihyun, Chanyoung, & Sangyeon…
My 3 are Yihyun, Chanyoung and Insoo. I like how their characters are at odds with each other. But yeah, I also wondered about Hyoryung. Then again many survival dramas have useless/opportunistic characters (not saying she is) tend to survive. Maybe its to show that you don't need to be a smart, strong or badass, as long as you're not an awful person, you can/might survive. Or they need someone to represent that character in the show like the others (bully, smart, popular, pregnant, nerd, etc.) and can also have bigger role or a possible love interest for Daesu in S2.
I was really enjoying this until the last few episodes. I just finished ep 20 and they made the ML suddenly abusive..…
I'm not defending ml's actions or make you like him again like you initally did, but that whole thing is very in with the theme.
Remember the og HS was cunning. The marriage uniting the 2 cities was just a show, his purpose has always been to use CCC, steal the city's treasure and conquer it. He even tried to kill CQQ in the beginning, so SA should be nothing to him. It'll be brushed off as the wife's duty to serve the husband, esp. royals/men doing anything they want and getting away with it.
But since HS had fallen in love with CQQ and is now only just half of the og HS, he was able to stop. The writer's way of showing a common trope in dramas that are often romanticized but is actually wrong.
The "cheap" complaints..? It's a low budget webdrama with newbie leads. A parody of usual drama tropes but in a comedic and lighthearted way. A romcom. Don't expect an S-class production with groundbreaking acting from A-listers about "an epic journey of a poor/orphan hero/heroine with plot armour destined to conquer the world" masterpiece.
This became an unexpected hit because people enjoyed it. The drama made people laugh during the first wave of the pandemic when people were experiencing lockdown for the first time. Different than now when the world has already adjusted to the "new normal" way of living.
For a lowbudget webdrama, it is good. The success and ratings is deserved. Many enjoyed it, still enjoying it and are back to enjoy it again.
I tried watching ml's other dramas while waiting for QSTX, but none of them had the chemistry he had with his fl here. Still one of the very few cdramas with good chemistry and satisfying ending.
If you think something is wrong with her, then thats you. But op isn't asking for personal opinion or speculation for S2, so I replied with purely what was actually showed/mentioned by the show/director. It's up to op what to think/make of it.
Some people just want to know a story or character endings as assurance or warning before watching and getting attached. But not necessarily be spoiled of everything, so they can still enjoy watching and form their own opinions.
If you wanna answer op, you're free to do so. But I'm sticking with my reply.
My reply to op's question is based on the show and the director's statement. Onjo's name was never mentioned/referred when he talked about the immune topic.
Why is Mi Jin sooo underrated, i mean she nailed in all of the scenes. Her character was the only one where i…
Maybe its the character's personality. I've seen quite a few reactions questioning why she puts too much importance on seniority, arguing/hitting others, being aggressive, etc. If compared to Hari, who is also a senior but is skillful and talks to everyone in a calm/respectful manner, its understandable why the others are more hyped/well liked than her. Even some knetz complained why she swears too much. She's not bad like Gwinam and Nayeon, but at the same time not fully nice.
The actress did a good job, but an actor is a byproduct of their character. If the other characters are more liked, the actors playing them will recieve more interest.
Namra didn't piece everything together until later. Even then she was careful of her words as it was still a suspicion until Nayeon herself slipped. She only saw Nayeon getting zombie blood on the handkerchief but not her wiping it on Gyeongsu because she was at the back. You are watching from an audience pov, you saw both actions. Namra didn't.
The whole time she was suppressing the virus from dominating. She is still human, different from Gwinam and Eunji. And the virus is triggered by emotions, thats why she was always at the back trying to stay calm, its very human Namra. Because the virus cells dominating also means the urge to eat becomes stronger.
And didn't help others? She was always the one in front to warn others about the zombies, esp. the bombing and about the rain, smell and lightning thing. Not to mention she was literally choked, kicked, dragged and thrown by Gwinam, who she was able to throw off the building giving them time to escape. If you count all that, she helped/saved the other multiples times while also struggling/fighting the urge to eat them the whole time.
She didn't know about the abilities yet. You saw the explaination by the science teacher and military doctor, she didn't. She literally had a breakdown. But at the ending, she was able to use/control it better. One of the best/if not the best character development. You're free not to like her. But there's a reason why people do.
The sergeant? His story is there to show why SK have mandatory military service. The politicians are also there to show how they really are. Getting rescued first, wanting special treatment, taking advantage of situation, not wanting responsibilities, etc. And whether intentional or not, the assemblywoman being a female sent a message. Basically how the decisions of the adults can affect the kids. Both are realistic/relatable.
And this isn't the only one here in mdl with negative reviews as the top voted. Many of my latest kdrama watch are the same. But the ratings' been rising, more people are enjoying it.
So many useless deaths, like On Jo's father (I still don't know where the 'sacrificing' part came, he could've…
Onjo's dad was there to save her. Going with them after being bitten will defeat that.
Gwinam is a zombie who can think and immortal. Decapitating or having no body is probably the only way to properly kill him. And material for S2.
The commander commited suicide because of the burden/guilt. Even though he was shown the entire time as this cold commander who had to make those decisions, at the end of the day he is human. He left his 2nd in command in-charge, went to the assembly woman to ask forgiveness to people of Hyosan, recorded himself taking responsibility/blame for his decision (protect his men) and called his wife for the last time.
The teacher probably felt responsible as the (only) adult that wasn't even able to resolve the conflict. After losing one student, she didn't wanna lose another one. But choosing 1 kid over the majority 9 was.. yeah.
The food situation.. at least some water would've made sense than the tiny chocolate bar. But maybe its the adrenaline or being young/healthy.
Promos or not, I've no expectations. Just looking forward to the drama since I read the novel.

Like I said, no personal opinion to avoid possibly swaying/influencing op on his/her viewing experience.
