I've only seen 1 Jdrama which is kazoku game (one of my favorite dramas of all time). I tried bitterblood and keizoku spec 2 and did not like it at all and crime dramas are my fav. Me, the reason why I don't like Jdramas is because the characters like to act like they are in an anime which is awfully cringe worthy.
The drama actually has a great story. This is the first drama where I actually enjoyed the slow progression because everything builds up. Theres a lot of tension and atmosphere in this drama that I haven't felt anywhere. The CON: is just bad execution. For some reason, I think if they remake this drama and enhance by taking away the flaws some people are talking about, it can be an easy 10/10.
Its possible for a korean version. It just has to be on a pay per view channel like tvn or OCN. these channels have more leg room to do what they want. If its on SBS or KBS it would be ruined.
I read most of the comments. It seems everyone agrees its overhyped. My question is, why is it even a 9.0? MDL should really fix their rating system. Like maybe add a "only rate a few dramas per day" or show the users that are giving ratings to prevent trolls and obsessive fan girls making multiple accounts to rate a drama. Because if i was a new k drama watcher and I saw DOTS as a 9.0 and I watch it, i'd assume korean dramas just suck all together.
I might rewatch this drama I miss it. At the first episode you think you know how everything will play out. But man, you'll be dead wrong. You'll hate everyone(in a good way). It'll play with your assumptions and then rip it all apart and do it again and again. A true psychological drama :).
How much of the drama is about politics and law? Because those genres I just can't get into. But seeing the synopsis and what everyone is saying its about interests me. I watched the first episode and it was meh. But it sounds like it gets better yes?
this is my personal advice, don't watch the last episode to enjoy fully the drama from the first to the 27 episode
lol it wasnt a sad ending. It ended in a good way. Just because your favorite character dies doesn't mean its bad or you shouldn't watch it. It ended realistically and a good note.
Will I enjoy this even if I don't like historical dramas??
I hate historical dramas and I LOVED it. Probably because Its not set in the "swordsmen" era or whatever you call it. Its set in a cruel and desperate time. It doesn't talk about politics and what not. Its honestly just a story of a hero. Reminded me of comics sometimes honestly.
hmmmmm.... Is this drama slice of life? I don't really like those types of dramas. I can't really tell what I'm gonna expect. Can anyone tell me what its about without spoilers? Or at least compare it to another drama?
Lee Joon, he was in one of my favorite boy bands called mblaq a couple years back but honestly, every drama hes in tends to kinda suck lol. I'll put this as plan to watch since its a sequel to vampire prosecutor to see if people like it or not before watching.
I watched until episode 3 awhile ago I thought it was really good but I stopped to focus on signal. Reading the comments, it look like something went terribly wrong :/ Can anyone explain?
Finished it. and I think is needs a second season to be honest or even better, a movie for closure. The main focus…
I'd perfer it to be just a movie because It might drag for the second season :/. Closure is all I ask for. But its very unlikely for that to happen because I have yet to see a drama that has a movie as a sequel. If they do make a second season however, I'd like for it to change it up abit. Maybe more about the present day? I mean they can also add a few episodes about where lee Jae Han has been for 15 years too. But after that, it would be interesting to see all 3 main leads finally working together.
Signal, missing noir m.
Lol if you want something completely new, stray away from romance dramas.
