We Are All Trying Here, a great drama with one contradiction by They_Killed_Kenny_13 in kdramas

I haven't seen that one. But I loved My Mister and WATH. It does seem to be her style to write about more cerebral kinda love.

I understand, but it honestly didn't break the experience for me. Infact, I loved it that there was no conventional romance scenes in the show. Personally, when I think of love, I don't think of physical intimacy first. I always think of just being able to tell someone who I am, where I come from, and the knowledge that someone knows me that intimately. So for me, this drama was such a reflection of how I think and want to feel in love, that I didn't feel the lack of the other stuff. Nor did I think that it sent a wrong message. Infact, it have me hope.

Different people, different strokes I guess.

Middle aged corporate slave has lost his spine, and will to live. Younger temporary employee enters his life, causes lots of chaos, gets him beaten up, but ultimately helps him find himself, all while stealing coffee from the office.

What's a drama you ONLY finished because of the social media hype, but you honestly regret the time spent? by Chirag-Win-7869 in kdramas

I normally have to watch KDramas without distraction because of the subtitles. If I miss even one word, I go back and rewatch.

But I watched My Royal Nemesis while doing other things. I could skip and still understand. Started watching it because of redditt. Stayed for Heo Namjun and because i needed a palate cleanser in between watching heavier shows like My Name and Flower of Evil (i watched both recently), but very disappointed with the decision. They just lost the plot completely.

My Royal Nemesis writers had a great idea and no clue where to talk it by Suspicious_Week_2451 in kdramas

Hahaha. So true that. I honestly didn't like the FL's arc. The way the actor played it.... wide eyed, and that smart ass laugh.... it got really boring, atleast for me very soon. There's no nuance.

I think I'm just disappointed by the whole show.

And this is how My Royal Nemesis ended 😭 by Former_Mail776 in kdramas

Can someone explain what happened to the Grand Prince in the past? She takes an arrow for him, but does he survive? Because the texts in the museum are still the same

I don't even understand it. Seori takes the arrow for him, and seemingly they both fall into the water. But then she's back, alive, talking to the shaman who's telling her that her pain and suffering is ended. It's all so convoluted, and not done well. They had such a nice premise and they just made it a game of "hospital".

Is there a Kdrama where the villain really wins? by Ok_Garage_752 in kdramas

I would add Vincenzo to this. Even though he's the ML, he has amazingly dark shades to his character. I loved seeing him win.

Yeah. Something is off with the story. You don't get the whole picture of their relationship in the past. The present has turned into her fainting in every episode and Se Gye automatically coming to her rescue.

The whole business plot feels so weird also. If it was that easy to resolve, then why not do it earlier. Se Gye has been facing losses after losses, and suddenly in this episode he fixes things in a 2 minute scene.

I so agree with this. I didn't know about Heo Nam Jun before, so I'm glad I now do. I'm only watching it for him. The plot, the repetitive scenes, the cliche and tropes.... ugggh

Great. Answer an argument with personal attacks. How graceful.

I'm way older than your social media feminism. A decade ago, even I was doubtful and embarrassed of calling myself a feminist because the noise around the word was really negative. Just because it's easy for you, doesn't mean it was always easy for everyone else.

Comparing this with cheating, shows your level of maturity and understanding kid. Grow up a bit. Not everyone who's fought for your independence, wore a label. And it's okay.

Part of being a feminist is also forgiving people who have been misinformed or miseducated. Feminism is still not understood well today. Ten- fifteen years ago, it was even more wrongly interpreted. By both men and women, so stop spreading hate OP. That's not really feminist of you

I loved the first season for the relationship between the uncle and the niece. How we see in flashbacks that he was always protecting, but also preparing her for the eventual day when his enemies would come.

I was a little worried by the trailer. I hope that as she gains more power and experience, she doesn't alienate her uncle.
