Yeah, but it's not interesting enough to just not care about the logic haha
Penthouse is at least wild. Here, there is so much dead screen time, your brain starts to work to entertain itself.

The rules are what the plot needs the to be at the moment.
Definition of poor writing 🤣

you seem to get everything, would you mind answering the questions I had in a reply to Rina_a365? Coz I tried to find them in the show and they are not there.

damn thanks. Been looing for it for awhile 🤣

it's not like people don't understand, it's just too many things were truly not explained:
> why can Doom break some terms of contract but not other?
> why he can break terms of contract but Dong Kyung cannot?
> why can he heal her cut finger, but not her cancer?
> did the female diety break her contract with Dong Kyung since at the end of the day they remembered each other? That would be a different story if they fall in love again, but them remembering it means the contract was broken on the Diety side, why are there no consequences?
> She said she will remove them from each others fates. They will not remember each other so the contract will be void. So if the contract is not valid anymore, it should still be invalid even if they remember each other after a while. She did not say it will be "paused" as long as you both not remember each other. So, can deities lie to sign a contract? Coz Dong Kyung did not break the contract, it was outside of her control whenever Doom contacted her, whenever she remembered anything. So how does that contract makes sense?

There are a lot of shit that needs to be clarified, but most likely won't. So people are frustrated.

Well, any contract without presenting the terms should be invalid, hence so should be this one. This whole contract makes no sense in the first place. He can break all the terms left and right no consequence EXCEPT he has to follow the "person you love with die" deal, why? Why is it okay for him to break the "you will feel no pain" but not the death part? When she forgot him apparently the contract got nullified, there is no reason to believe if they remember each other it will be back in place. Don't make it sound like the contract is invalid if she takes the new deal from the female diety, when it's just paused and still present and potentially could be executed. Also, what if he remembers her but she does not? Would that mean the diety broke the contract? Wouldn't her remembering him also means the diety broke the contract coz she was suppose to remove the memoires and there was no term on "but yeah you might actually sill remember him".

Not to mention this getting 3rd parties involved (the person she loves) in the contract that are not aware of. Doesn't think go against the laws of nature etc. He literally said he should not be affecting the human's word (when he saved the kid), outside of his existence of being doom, but then he drags unrelated person to a contract conditions. The rules of this supernatural world make no sense.

In this world they suggest there is an afterlife, and no where they say you don't remember your previous life. Still believe her living in the afterlife knowing she killed someone she loved would still be better than her living surrounded by the rest of the people who love her and support her, while the other person is dead.

the show just cannot decide on the good supernatural story that make sense:
> Deities are made for humans EXCEPT when it's about contract, then they can screw over humans like there is no tomorrow.
> Some terms of the contract cannot be changed AT ALL, some can be broken with no consequences.
And if there is a happy ending for the couple:
> Everything ends, everything passes. It's important to cherish what you have, it's important to live your life when you can UNTIL magic fixes your problems and you are both, not dead now and with the person you love. No consequences visible. If they will go with :love can conquer everything" I will just put it right next to all the other mediocre fantasy show with unoriginal script and superficial message.

Hopefully it will not go that way tho.

The more I think about it, the more I see how poorly written the show is.
Why was Dong Kyung even scared of someone else dying instead of her, when she got into the contract knowing she is suppose to wish for the doom and the end of the world, hence everyone she loved would die anyway? The writer made her have negative IQ with that.

Also, why can Doom heal her cut finger but not remove the tumor from her brain?

Also, why is she "rewarded" for breaking the contract by being healed? It would make much more sense if she died no matter what, but the penalty was someone she loves dying as the addition to that.

yeah yeah. I just checked episode 2. Someone else suppose to die, not someone additionally will die if she breaks the contract.

I am not really happy. I want them dead lol

I don't know... maybe coz when characters are presented as gay in an original work, people would like to see the same representation on screen? LGBT community barely has any representation in Korean media anyway, so to take a gay character and potentially give him a straight love line is simply wrong. If they are not willing to show a gay relationship, the least they could have done is not give said character any love line at all.

Also, I already replied to you in the previous comment, but for a drama that has romance as just a side plot, episode 3rd weirdly focused mostly on romance. A lot of people complain because this was suppose to be a friendship driven show and focus on self-growth, while the director and writer waste so much time on said romance. Also, usually if the romance is just a side plot, it's not added as a genre. So that's that.

The whole 3rd episode was focused on making the romance happen between So Bin and Yeo Joon. Definitelly not a good call, since as you said, romance is suppose to be just a sub plot.

And also, maybe new concept for you: someone can overall enjoy the show and still criticize aspects they don't like or the direction it takes.

Yeah... I have little hope of them addressing it on a deeper level, sadly. That said, I still find it refreshing that the ML is toxic but in a "subtle" way and not the over the top mean lead way we usually get, coz it's more realistic. And her being aware something is wrong but still going for it, which again, is more interesting than her being just a naive girl who is surprised a hot dude pays any attention to her.

I mean, if they make him straight, this gonna lower my rating. I'm not expecting from them to actually deliver gay relationship, but the least they could do would be not giving him any romance, instead of making him straight.
With how much the characters are dealing with and how much development needs to happen, they are wasting way too much time on romance.

or that's someone who has some psychological issues, that have nothing to do with age. For me, she is not naive (as she sees all the red flag), but rather needs some counselling/therapy done.

my problem with this is, they will most likely make it seem like power of love and friendship will heal him and no therapy will actually happen. This often happens: they show realistic portray of someone struggling with some psychological issues, but then completely ruin it with unrealistic way to deal with it.

I unsubscribed from that team lol

gut feeling for me for sure too. I kind of sense if the drama will be my taste and I will enjoy it or not. Sure, sometimes the gut feeling is wrong, but from what I see, around 80% times it is correct hahahaha

Na Bi is obviously not a matur person (especially emotionally), so I don't think it's that weird she is so into him so fast. From that short introduction to her character, they are kind of hinting she is easily drawn into someone who is interested in her. We already know she is a vulnerable person and her quick emotional attachment can be used against her with her ex story - he was emotionally manipulative and abusive throughout the relationship and yet it took her so long to leave. She seems to be hungry for "love and affection" hence she is grabbing a chance when it comes.
Like, this goes beyond her being naive. Coz she is aware of the red flags and yet pushes forward. For me, this just shows that she is not just a poor young girl who falls a victim to a playboy, but rather her attitude towards love is also unhealthy.

Glad you liked the articles :) Just sharing my experience.

and damn, I just finished first episode of Nevertheless, and I'm sure I will have nightmares hahaha this gives me bigger creeps and goosebumps than any horror I saw in the past few years. It's a trainwreck, but I can tell this is gonna be addicting hahaha

First episode was so creepy I can sense some nightmares happening tonight for me.
yEy

Well, I was like that too, at first. Never wanted to drop everything, had to finish everything I start. Thank god I've learned how to drop shows tho, coz watching everything till the end even if I didn;t like it was exhausting hahahaha But yeah, I know the feeling :)
