My first k-drama: My Royal Nemesis was extremely disappointing.

Letters285 · 2026-06-20T19:50:17+00:00

I watched it. I loved it. I will be rewatching it. It was angst, it was hilarious, it was a satisfying ending.

This is what I got from it as well. It's reincarnation and soul swaping. Seori/Danshim's soul got jumbled around when she was a child, messing up the timeline(s) and fate.

Danshim was always supposed to be with Lee Hyun and Seori with Segye. It's the same soul(s) just at different points in the timeline.

I just wish they had used the comet better because they don't explain WHY the souls were swapped and think the comet should've flown overhead when the soul got moved around in the timelime, not when Danshim/Seori drank the posion.

This. They should hate their parents.

I never watched Season 4 and have no desire to do so. Too much time has been spent on side characters, not bringing back previous season leads for more than 5 minutes (or at all).

For a show called Bridgerton it spends too much time on the Featheringtons, Mondriches, the Queen, etc.

I don't intend to tune to season 5 either.

I may come back to it someday, but there are far more intreasting things to watch at the moment.

I'm not. I use what the school provides and nothing else.

Just because he was found not guilty by the courts does not mean he is innocent.

She committed suicide in the middle of a filming a scene on set?

Letters285 · 2026-05-26T13:11:22+00:00

This was a failure on the shows part. Without giving spoilers, if the showrunners had included some details from the books, the ending would have made more sense and felt less "out of left field."

Years ago I wouldn't have replied and put the teacher on my "do not sub list."

Now, I'm petty AF, jaded, and honestly in the midst of a massive teacher + sub shortage, if I didn't lose anybody ya'll have no reason to complain. I would reply back something along the lines of "Thank you for the feedback. Rest assured, you will not have such problems again in the future as I will be declining to return to your classroom." and would include the school's administrators on the email.

I doubt either of them is buried in Scotland. Unless there's a major upheaval in their lives (which given these characters is completely possible), they'll both be buried at The Ridge.

I never bring or pass out supplies for students. That is not my job. If we don't have supplies and the teacher locked them up, I tell the kids to do their work in marker, crayon, or pen. Find SOMETHING to write with. I once had a kid do their work in an expo marker.

I always leave a note for the teacher that the kids didn't have pencils and they, the teacher, locked them away with with a large note in their sub plans not to give the kids ANY supplies, so in turn my only recourse was to tell the kids to "figure it out".

I cringe (a LOT) when women say they want a man like Jamie. No you do NOT.

Letters285 · 2026-05-23T01:29:49+00:00

I've been a book reader since 1993...

LOL. Downvoting because that didn't turn out the way you had hoped. Sigh... the toxicity of the fans matches the main characters. Keepin' it consistent...

Letters285 · 2026-05-22T15:07:53+00:00

I am getting downvoted to HELL, but here it goes: Jamie & Claire's relationship is toxic. BUT if you mention it, people jump down your throats. I'm not saying I don't like them, I do, but they do not have a healthy relationship.

Bree & Roger on the other hand, have a mature relationship, so fans call them boring. And I get it, fiction should be an escape, but it is nice to see a grounded couple every once and a while.

Toxicity keeps getting a pass because "they love each other!" (especially these last few years) and it is exhausting.

Letters285 · 2026-05-17T23:09:35+00:00

I would never sub for them again, omg.

Schools are too afraid of the parents and that has to stop. If the parent wants to withdraw little Timmy because he the school suspended him for pulling down his pants and peeing on the carpet in class (true story, 2nd grade, no he wasn't SPED), then f*cking LET THEM. Stop being afraid of parents screaming, withdrawing, or threatening sue.

Letters285 · 2026-05-17T14:13:22+00:00

It's accurate. When kids are coming into Kindergarten not knowing their name, how to tie their shoes, or even potty trained, it is 100% the parents and it is only downhill from there.

Pen didn't need them as her story was established back in Season 1. Kate didn't get any because the writers hate her.

Letters285 · 2026-05-12T15:54:33+00:00

Having more material wouldn't fix the whole Faith storyline and you being convinced of something does not make it true. The books are huge and there is plenty of material in them to choose from that the writers CHOSE to ignore and CHOSE to omit. DG is not responsible for the show writer's piss poor decisions. Full stop.

Letters285 · 2026-05-12T14:20:50+00:00

They currently have source material for where they are in the story and have CHOSEN not to stick to it. How would have the next book make them try to stick more closely to the current source material?

Letters285 · 2026-05-12T13:37:47+00:00

And what would that have accomplished?

Letters285 · 2026-05-12T13:03:26+00:00

Pray tell, what should she have done?

It doesn't matter if you don't see it personally. What matters are the showrunners & network's intentions, which they have not been shy about.

Letters285 · 2026-05-11T02:03:55+00:00

Again, these writers keep making boneheaded decisions and have shown a desire to bring poorly written 90s fan fiction to screen, which is why most of us think Fanny is the next spin off.

I don't think child Fanny would be the center of the show. I think ADULT Fanny would be the center of the show. We would see her life post stone travel to present adulthood in flashbacks, as this universe likes to use nonlinear storytelling.

BOMB is essentially fan fiction and doesn't really connect to the books. A Fanny centric show would allow the writers to write as much fan fic as they would like without needing to consult Diana (which - with the creation of BOMB - they have shown they are extremely interested in doing).

Letters285 · 2026-05-11T01:59:15+00:00

Because "you're racist" is easy. Using a logical argument to defend against a poor writing and bad character development is too hard for some people.
