unhinged

I gave it a 10 despite the ending. He did good things (like saving the kids) & he himself was a victim from childhood. Deep down I wished he could've had a happy ending. But at the end of the day, realistically, he was a killer. And in the last episode, the police acted accordingly. Did it suck that he died? Absolutely. Was it unrealistic that he didn't get a happy ending, & that he even died? After what he did, not really. Although the cops kind of overdid it, imo. And it was rather heartbreaking that the FL had to watch it happen. 😕

you should probably mark your comment as a spoiler.

For real - I want to know actual reviews/comments about *THIS* drama in itself!!! I don't really CARE how it compares to, or is different from, the original. I don't mind some people comparing in the comments, but not if they are just going to be all negative & throw hate. 🙄 If you don't like it, don't watch it, and don't ruin it for the rest of us. 😑

i found it on bilibili.tv, but if you don't have access to watch the videos (because of where you live) you'll need to use a vpn.

has there been any update as to what the OTT platform will be?

I didn't compare them. I like both kinds of shows. Actually, I'm rather easily amused & there isn't many shows I criticize or will absolutely not watch. I only said that starting L&P *right* after finishing something so very lighthearted, I could really felt the angst & I noticed the drama more. With only 1 ep of L&P left to watch, I think I can say safely say I like both shows. I just needed a couple of days break in between a few of the eps. 🤷‍♀️

I am... I'm trying... 😅 I'm in the middle of ep22 as I type this...

I just watched ep 20, but after seeing the preview for ep 21 now I really want to give up. I wanted to watch a love story. Sure, there are a few romantic moments, but this feels more like a story full of tragedies. I didn't sign up to depressed & stressed out. 😭

I forced myself to watch ep 20, but then there was a preview for ep 21 - and now I really do want to give up. I did not sign up to be depressed. I wanted to watch a lovestory, not a story full of tragedies. 😫😭

I just finished ep 19 last night, and I'm struggling with wanting to continue... and you're telling me it doesn't get better until after ep 23? ugghhh 😫 I think I might need to take a break before I can continue watching it.

omg... I'm so glad I'm not alone. Everyone seems to love this drama so I've been forcing myself to watch it the past few days... but I got through ep 19 last night, and I just really don't know if I can force myself to keep watching. I wanted to like it but I'm kind of bored & I'm not even sure what the story is supposed to be focusing on at this point.

But I did start this drama right after watching Hidden Love, so in comparison this one feels like way too much drama & angst. Maybe I just have to wait and come back to finish this one later. idk. 😕🤷‍♀️

Prime Video

Yeah, I can't do the whole 1 ep per week. 2 eps per week is hard enough, when I'm used to binging dramas lol. I'm going to have to wait until it's almost done airing to start watching it. Which sucks because I'm super excited to watch PHJ in this. 😔

Unfortunately comments on MDL, especially in the past year or 2, have become increasingly negative. 😕

I agree on your assessment of the female lead. Her character's growth wasn't paced right. It was awkward & forced.

The male lead is trying to keep everyone's jobs by keeping the company going. Yeah, he didn't go about it the right way, & was aggressive about it, but it was explained that he was stressed (not a great excuse though) and it wasn't his real personality. We see him start to act more like himself when he starts falling for FL & then more so when he reconnects with her when he finds out she's his childhood friend. So it wasn't exactly a 180° change.

And after everything you complained about... you somehow find her best friend "good" and "overall decent"?
Um, maybe by the end she kind of redeemed herself, but throughout the entire middle of the drama? Her actions? Decent? 😂 That's funny. I don't even know what to say there.

Reporter Kim had a strong personality & liked to joke around but he was by far the most sincere & lovable person in the drama.

It's the first time I *really* had 2nd male lead syndrome. I felt sooo bad for him by the end. 😭

yes

The character (her sister) who committed suicide: in the story she seemed deeply ashamed of herself, and like she couldn't handle that. And then take into account her personality. i don't think you can simplify it as "committing suicide because of men".

If you've never been depressed, you may not understand that it can take *anything* deeply upsetting to a person who is already prone to depression to push them over the edge.
For someone like her character who is quiet & reserved, being deeply ashamed over what happened with that manager could've made her feel like she just could not face herself anymore. Yes it was a sad, rash decision to jump. And many people may not be able to sympathize with it. But in the world of mental health, that's sometimes how it goes - irrational decisions brought on by extreme emotion that the person thinks/feels they cannot handle.
I know this from experience.

Most MDL comments are becoming nothing but complaining & negative reviews over the past year. Idk why I even bother to look at the comments anymore.
