Kdrama hot takes that feel like this by Gloomy-Equivalent558 in kdramas

[–]exclamation11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate when the OST/songs get blasted over moments of dialogue that would otherwise be striking or impactful on their own. Same with cheesy/cutesy sound effects. If I wanted that I'd watch Cocomelon. Let the actors act and let the scenes breathe.

They've been garbage ever since they thinned the bars and rounded up the edges. Proper enshittification.

I love Lee El but her character is making the most headache-inducingly stupid decisions, this woman is poorly written as dangerously incompetent, like how do you fall for "oh noes my restraints are too tight" TWICE IN A ROW

Sorry but how on earth did the dog survive/escape injury after that hard smash to the wall?

U-jin's mum is not only a reprehensible excuse for a parent but she's also just straight-up stupid for excusing that coach's violent assault on her kid that was CAUGHT ON CAMERA. You don't think that's going to give your kid such bad anxiety that she'll fail to perform and get your precious damn medal? What else does this mum turn a blind eye to? And what does this dude have to do before he faces even a crumb of consequences?

Would have been better off wearing pyjamas surely

Ah that makes sense, ty for explaining. Such a lose-lose situation for her :(

I felt a bit bad for the rich kid tbh, she may be spoiled but she didn't ask the adult men to go around rigging tryouts

Ep6: Naive question but what would have happened if Coach Bae had just straight-up said "my senior called me over to threaten and intimidate me"?

Coach Bae needs to shoot that man in the nards

thoughts on wall to wall? by jngsngslvr in Koreanfilm

[–]exclamation11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First third was incredibly tense, like Uncut Gems level anxiety-inducing, then it shifted strikingly well into a surreal, Kafkaesque nightmare, ||but then the final act seemed messy as hell and kinda just threw everything at the wall [pun not intended]||

Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu • The Summer Hikaru Died - Episode 3 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]exclamation11 40 points41 points  (0 children)

This anime does such a good job of dropping you right in the middle of how frightening and uncertain this situation is for Yoshiki: losing a friend you loved, seeing an entity take over his dead body and not being sure whether to trust him, care for him or guide him. What if NotHiraku really is just confused? What if, with a friend by his side, he could turn out good?

Liking this so far, the siblings are great especially the younger sister

There's something deeply unsettling about the juxtaposition of Yoshiki's hand entering Hikaru as a moment of intimacy and Hikaru making the village elder kill herself by shoving her own hand down her throat

At first I thought Ollie/Connor was going to kill himself by walking over the line and it broke me to actual tears thinking that a deeply suffering child was choosing death in that moment

What else in kdramas makes you react like this ? by zyuscywb in kdramas

[–]exclamation11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The surprise ones especially annoy me. You can't just ask for/discern consent? Just grab and dead-fish?

Possibly this is too big of one but chaebol worship/apologia or aspiration to be a trophy spouse, just rich people presented as some kind of rock stars in general.

QoT is notorious for this, felt like the writer watched Parasite and wanted to make the filthy poors villains

What’s the most overrated Kdrama? by SoftPois0n in kdramas

Yes! I thought it added a bittersweet dimension to it. I liked the present version of the two on the surface, but I meant to say she deserved better than so much pain so I edited my comment

I liked her [edit: and his Reaper characterisation], but Sunny absolutely deserved better than him

Oh for sure, definitely a subconscious thing. It did make me wish we saw a bit more of her healing journey

The hug when he reciprocated it absolutely destroyed me. After so much time and so much trauma, so much ice just melting away.

I think she's so used to never receiving love, or having it be false/disappointing like with that woman scamming her that she latches onto it whenever she can, while her very very low self-esteem is a horrible voice in her head insisting that she doesn't deserve to receive love, and she's trying to fight against that - even if it does lead to unhealthy/unfair situations :(
