None of these were painful for me to watch, though I do acknowledge they all had their problems and were far from…
I started Cheongdamdong Alice but dropped it because I didn't understand what her aim was meant to be. The actress is good but she needs to stop taking on wimpy roles.....
I think my issue with Boys Over Flowers was that I had seen the anime from start to finish a couple of years back so I knew the plot and what was going to happen. But because I watched the anime at such a young age I didn't actually realise what a spolit character the main lead guy was and how irritating her family gets. It had potential if they had strayed away from copying the story word for word, but the charcters never really developed much into decent people and the storyline kept repeating.
I finished Love @ Seventeen the other day and it had similar issues, it kept repeating and there wasn't really a massive amount of character development. I still don't know how or why I finished it. It had huge potential but was ruined by weak charatcers and writing style.
Big was a train wreck. It started off well and had good potential but just went down hill. The ending sucked big time.
I don't know how I finished Goong, it took me about 6 months to finish it. I swear the female lead cried for some reason every single episode. I don't know why so many people like it, the ratio of cute moments vs Prince Smarty being a meanie was highly out-rated. It reminded me of Boys Over Flowers, except in Goong there were even less moments when it seemed that he cared for her.
I think there is an issue in kdramas where it seems acceptable for those with money and power to bully and hurt people and it be alright because they're 'in love'. I won't deny that there are kdramas I love which have this in it but it can make them very painful to watch, especially if the receiving end just sits and accepts the abuse thrown at them. Just because their meant to be in love, doesn't mean the rich snobby guy can't have some character development and realise being a buttface isn't going to catch the girls. The story lines have such good potential but small things such as a weak character can make an entire drama unbearable.
They need to do another reverse gender-bender. I love gender-bender... but they're getting kinda repetitive now, which sucks. Anyone remember when someone posted the story about a guy genderbending as a prostitute? That was beaut.
I just finished it with great difficulty. It was bearable until around episode 8/9 when they basically just repeated the same thing every episode and then tried to wrap up everything in the final episode. If you can ignore the questionable psychology it had a lot of potential. But the writers dragged out the lies and experiment thing for way to long, turning the entire show into a train wreck. It was an interesting idea, in which I both loved and hated the majority of characters, but they didn't do a good job with it and could have done better.
What if the evil lead (cause their is always an evil lead) was a chick who fell in love with the main lead not knowing that he liked guys. I feel like the woman attempting to win him over could trigger some hilarious situations xD
I would totally watch this if it was a real thing :3
