You don't understand that there were 32 of us at most, and we found each other everywhere. Pure cinematic crime showss. Textbook procedurals. We were living life. Then everyone started putting serial killers in their romcoms and expected us to be SATISFIED...rip queen rip
The girls r saying they want them in a drama together. Yes but NO NOIR. NO CRIME. Let's do small-town romance. Best friends from college. Or they are friends who met abroad or all have the same odd hobby like taking pictures of fireflies.
Ready for more SQUID GAME news?
Park Gyu-young, Jo Yu-ri, Kang Ae-sim, Lee David, Lee Jin-uk, Choi Seung-hyun, Roh Jae-won, and Won Ji-an are joining us for Season 2!

Kdramas lost a lot of their charm once they started this franchise stuff. On a production level I understand some of these having seasons but i feel like content wise we aren't getting the same level of storytelling if you just encapsulated everything to 1 season
I think
#LeeJungJae
is less praised compared to other cast despite being the best male lead and the way he acted is just awesome. the only reason I watched
#SquidGame
is him. Kdrama stan twt really don't know him?? He's one of the most versatile actors in Korean film industry.
Almost every actress in the industry can outact their male counterparts. They are always like 67% better in every aspect. Emoting. Delivery. Facial expressions. I mean this on all levels of seniority, not just young actresses.
Drama watching is supposed to be enjoyable, not a competition. Why are you forcing yourself to finish a show that doesn't bring you joy? Do you really like it or r u watching it cus ur fave is in it? Y r u fighting 10 toes down about a drama opinion that doesn't agree w/ you?
nah im really upset with this drama. This could of been the set up?? THIS COULDA BEEN THE ROMANCE??? They casted him and sad nah the loveline with a student makes so much more sense OMFG
I love the fact that you can tell the writer of
#MySweetMobster
was thinking of evertyhing when it comes to discirmination within SK society, even on a historical level. There is a group called "백정" (baekjong) among the Joseon caste systems lowest class "천민" Cheonmin
To be 110% honest stories like Melancholia really upset me. cus a lot of female actresses over 30 act with younger male actors and its always sends weird messages. Like imagine if the ML in this story was another professor, her age. We could've gotten a academic melo
It will never cease to give me a headache when ppl blame actors for shows not succeeding. When it's CLEARLY a production problem. Like a lot of screenwriters and director combos do not mesh and actors can only do what they are told and what they are given.
I just don't understand why it's so hard to write older couple dramas without cheating. Like I know TV is suppose to be dramatic but if you write everything to stem around the same issues it's no longer fun to watch. Not all 40yr old adults r cheating on their spouses
I hope intl fans realize they are being used and can potentially become tools in political discourse. They picked homegirl for a reason beyond her acting abilites.

this normalization of underage male characters and grown-ass female characters in media just contributes the lot of young boys not realizing they are being groomed and that their relationships with older women are not cool until much later in life
I was just wondering why the drama was called MODC then I got the chills watching all this happy shit. I SWEAR ON STARS IF SOMEONE DIES I'M RIOTING. IF THEY TURN THIS ALMOST PERFECT DRAMA INTO A SAD SHIT SHOW I QUIT.

Traditionally I feel like most kdramas were good at explaining their stories/worlds cus there was no promise of a s2. When action and fanatsy bwgin to have multiple seasons writing tends to become more convoluted. Quantity over quality. I fully blame Netflix for this
No truly cus some of y'all can praise actresses outside their relationship with men and every day it reminds me the fight against misogyny is never over
makes me sad for actresses. it's happened time and time again where certain fans only talk about actresses if they can focus on some kind of shipping fantasy - they don't exist outside of that pairing and are only used to push some kind of narrative. weirdo behaviour.
so yeah that's something...I think we should all keep in mind that at the end of the day we know literally nothing about the celebrities that we stan and we often forget that their public image is cultivated so carefully that it's impossible for us to know their real personality
In the spring of 1945, all suspicions led to a hospital in Gyeongseong. Where humans and creatures awaited.
Park Seo-jun and Han So-hee star in Gyeongseong Creature. Part 1 premieres December 22 on Netflix.
I like to call it selective xenophobia. International fans who are the guest in the South Korean entertainment space only see their faves as people worthy of human emotion becus they've established a parasocial relationship with them
i think it should definitely be studied why kpop fans find it so easy to stick themselves in a conversation not meant for them. it’s not about idols or actors, this is something far more damaging at play and yall needa sit back and let them talk

from the show, but shares in advance that it is difficult to edit her out completely as there are parts where she in discussion with other cast/guest

some topics don't need a fucking "dark comedic" spin on them. What happened in Gwangju and everything during the dictatorship was fucking dark enough. This is absolute BS especially when the main focus of this story is star crossed lovers
But no writers and directors can't seem to fathom the idea of couples of similar ages dating each other without infidelity. It's really misogynistic when u get to the root of it cus men won't date women their age when they r 35+ cus they want kids most of the time so ppl don't

Netflix subs are meant to be put out fast. And the way their translators choose to phrase stuff can be really annoying. The most annoying thing to me tho is the liberty they take with translating shit into AAVE.
it speaks to just how bad netflix subs are that with just the teensy lil bit of korean phrases ive picked up ive noticed the dialogue not matching subs in the kdrama im watching now 😭
The biggest take away from this kdrama is, it's not what's good for you- it's who you love. Someone you're willing to risk it all coz you feel it in your heart that it'll be worth it.
You have the power to choose your heartbreak. Choose what's worth your love.
#NeverthelessEp10
Okay y'all, this was actually really cute w/o any racism or colorism. They did say that elephants was part of Dong Wook's groom's price, but other than that a pretty wholesome story. I truly wonder y the writers chose this route but its iconic either way
To me a strong female character knows herself. She can be a bitch or a softie. When a story sllows for a female character to just exist outside of her relationships and truly be herself. That's whan i cal strong.
Alright since this idea has been loved let's try and flesh this out. Walk w/ me~ for a small town slice of life

Yas! could write a whole essay about how you female kdrama icons r just the other side of the misogyny coin u hate so much. Cus why is a female character crying annoying but when a man does it he's vulnerable????
I feel like y'all r also missing the idols who are professionals if they have debuted now. Not hobby singers in a high school club. They will/should be held to a professional standard. They have been performing for 2 years. They should have more stamina by now.
y’all miserable af to watch their whole Coachella performance and wait til the end after they were jumping tf around for an hour to find some unstable parts where they’re tired😭. 6 second clips vs a whole hr session, DONT be shy, show the whole performance, miserable bitch.
Cus why is tvn buying into this 2nd season stuff. Like I imagine that HSPL would have been a much better story in mine eyes if they had just done like a 20 ep 1 season. Procedurals like DrRomanntic, DP and maybe Taxi Driver having multiple seasons is fine as long
Not the pick me energy jumping out. Stop holding female characters to moral standards that you don't even think about when talking about male-dominated films. Babe, I hope u got ur fucking sticker for this
A love letter to ❤️
#RemeberanceOfThingsPast
(#我在他乡挺好的) Thank you for being everything I ever wanted in a female-centric drama. Thank you for allowing your characters to have personalities outside relationships. Thank you for showing healthy friendship between women
For me personally, it's a female character w agency. Someone who has their own story outside of a loveline. U can tell the writer put time into creating an actual person & not just a trauma dumping center for the ML. My fave example is Chae Song Ah from Do You Like Brahms
i actually wanna know kdrama twt's definition of a strong woman because most of y'all must know that it's not just limited to being badass, intimidating, and being in power.
Its funny that articles like this come out when the country just voted for a president whose whole campaign was anti women and pro incel. Like, babe dramas r fake, and people are all the same no matter where you go.
2 mins of a 6min ramble about y'all not letting other folks say anything negative about ur fave

babe they aren't attacking you. They just don't like the show

There will literally be a Twitter prompt asking for strong female leads. and 70% of ppl will post the same 5 female character's who wear pretty clothes and cuss...like
Ha y'all leave my unclaimed husband alone. Also yeah companies r lazy. The kpop fandom has literally created an environment where they will mass stream anything guaranteeing a certain level of success. Y would any1 care about quality if yall r jus goin to blindly love everything
By having the convicted felons return to society to do a historically frowned upon jobs just really adds tons of layers to the writing. "Society" will allow felons back bt only if they are still at the bottom. Even then they are still being discrimanted against

Not Rumba fixing the playboy and his ways. This man said "I've never been thinking more clearly then now.""I might follow her to Kenya." "I think I know why I've always broken n up with other gurls." "When I look at Rumba it feels like fate" BABE HE IS HOOKED
as a frequent crime thriller watcher leave people the fuck alone. Not everybody has taste for Crime Thrillers & its not the only genre to find good acting with good production. Ur pick me attitude about drama taste doesn't make u a superior human being jfc
