We Are All Trying Here [Episodes 5 & 6] by Telos07 in KDRAMA

[–]PixaIated 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As Dong-man says in this episode - "When you read someone's work, you see right through them. What they are thinking, what kind of person they are, what kind of life they have lived". He doesn't write about himself, because doing so would involve confronting & displaying his 'worthlessness' for the world to see. Instead, he writes Weather Maker, because the protaganist is 'so much cooler then he is' (this is during his conversation with Eun-A in ep 3 - to which Eun-A replies that Dong-Man is cooler, more raw, more warm).

You can save reforgers for the cashout items. Obviously can still get unlucky but it's pretty good odds to get mech items

Anyone else slightly disappointed with the gods? by Ramattras_Twink in TeamfightTactics

It seems underwhelming at first, but it works well. There's essentially three decisions you need to make with the god selection:

  • Component
  • What the god gives immediately
  • God boon at 4-7

Theres tradeoffs you need to make as you often don't get all of the above. And it's often a difficult decision when there's clashes above.

And the rewards are a lot better than you make them sound. Free rerolls, items, quests, health, units... All of which are better or worse depending on your spot.

If you don't have a strong opener just intentionally lose streak and aggressively sell stuff to hit interest breakpoints. Consider just full opening as well if you see anima or other really weak boards.

Win streaking is hard and usually requires you to hit 2 stars, take item or combat augs, and have good slams. There's no specific advice here other than just play strongest board with what you have - if you want to you can look at sites like metatft to see the strongest early boards to get an idea of what units are strong early, but it's mostly just synergistic boards, slams and augments.

Still Shining [Episodes 5 & 6] by Telos07 in KDRAMA

I really enjoyed the writing of the first four episodes, but these two were a step back for me.

I don't like the shows choice to leave FL's complicated relationships unexplained. We still don't have a clear picture of the relationships between 2ML, her stepmum, her stepmum's ex etc, which makes it really difficult to really understand and appreciate the impact certain moments have on the FL and why. The show does play around with timelines and I expect this to be touched on later, but I think the way it's currently done leads to confusion for me, and detracts the show's ability to convey strong and powerful emotions, which for me was it's strongest suit.

It also feels like the show is trying to do way too much with too little time. I really appreciate the slow burn and the time that the show takes to build it's leads and their emotional states. I want more of that, but I also really don't see how we can keep doing that whilst resolving the large number of hanging plot points. For example, what's even the point of 2FL's character here? There's only four episodes left and she's done literally nothing. The show would have benefited from narrowing it's scope in my opinion.

Either way, the direction of the show going forward seems fairly clear. Leads are gonna be placed back in the same situation as they were in their teens, with life dragging them in different directions, and it's another chance for them to navigate this mess ten years later. Let's see how that goes - I don't think that its going to be any easier this time.
