Deabak Lee oppa & Kim Go Eun Unni

It's an amazing drama. There acting is so realistic. After watching Goblin I'm fan of Kim Go Eun. Her acting is very skillful. & her talking style,every expression is very realistic. LEE MIN HO is always deabak.There's nothing to say about him. He is always Skilled in his every works. Here he presents himself once again with his skillful acting. "THE KING:THE ETERNAL MONARCH" here Lee MinHo plays role as Yi Gon & he is the third Korean emperor of his generation. When he was 8 years old, his father was murdered before his eyes.Once he escapes, he sees himself propelled into a parallel world where he meets Jung Tae Eul (Kim Go Eun plays role as Jung Tae Eul). Overall it's very interesting story. I'm very excited. Almost I'm drowning in excitement.

Dropped it on episode 5. The character development is trash. The story is almos trash. I made an account here just to bent out my frustrations on wasting my time watching trash. The first couple episodes were funny. And that's all they were, funny. There's no substance. The writing is so bad that even high fan fictions are better in comparison. I can't stress enough how bad the lead female character is. And please don't get me wrong, the actress was good, the character being portrayed is bad. I sometimes look away at the screen when they start saying cringy stuff. Save yourself some time and don't watch this. Whoever the writer is, please go jump off a bldg. thanks.

Gave up after 5 eps

Sigh. As a noob to Cdramas, i love Xiao Zhan after The Untamed so I decided to check this out. But everything annoyed me from the start. One of them being that Yang zi was trying to act as an 18 year old. Like can we stop please. And also as a medical professional its totally unrealistic to have those doctor patient relationships as portrayed in the show. The father's denial/hesitation at getting medical tests made no sense, like why would you be so selfish and put your family through hell when you already know you are unwell and need treatment? This is 2022 and not 1900s. Argh i just cant, dropped after 5 episodes. Also the trope of the Dr Gu's junior who's in love with him... like thats done to death and super annoying.

How disappointing.

University BL with bad acting

Unlike many others, I don't mind university set BLs and I've liked or loved most of the ones I've watched so far. However, this was I minded. It wasn't good. It wasn't even actually decent.

A few people recommended this to me and every sing one of them failed to mention how bad the acting was. This has got to be some of the worst acting this year. It also didn't help that the subtitles were awful and at times nonsensical but even with perfect subtitles, the acting is still bad. I can't recall any of the actors giving at least decent performance.

There were side characters & side couples with their own stories & they're so forgettable that the script forgot them as well. So there isn't much to say about them except that they exist.

I dropped it mainly because halfway through I found out that one of the main characters was a minor during filming. The thought that that 16 to 17 year old was doing all those kissing scenes and love scenes with an adult in a room full of adults made my skin crawl. The BL industry needs to stop pairing minors with adults. It's creepy and should not be a thing.

Annoying privilege

I'm late to the BL world and keep discovering actors I've never heard of and then have a list of dramas I need to find. This is no exception. Chimon (Sailom) is great. The expressions he has and the sincerity (it seems to me) with which he is portraying his clever, struggling, dignified character has pulled me into this story. In some scenes I hardly notice Perth (Kang) (sorry!). I'm not saying he can't act, just that his on-screen partner is really good.

The first few episodes made me feel so uncomfortable that I wasn't sure I wanted to continue. The bullying was nasty (obviously) and borderline sexual. The bully wanted power and worship, but deep down (as is sometimes the case) wanted to be noticed and cared for by someone...anyone.... It got better as it progressed.

The stark difference between a life of privilege and one of struggle made me angry. I know it happens in reality, but I was still angry!

As the drama progressed, I still wasn't sure if I would finish it, as Kang annoyed me so much (Perth's acting continued to be great).

What I liked: the grandmother - she's a smart cookie. Chimon's acting and his character, Sailom. The chemistry between Chimon and Perth was clear and there were a few scenes where they seemed to be having fun and there was real laughter. Loved Auto. Loved the side couple: Nawa and Guy - I didn't see that coming until it happened....

What I didn't like: the bullying

Irritante e decepcionante

Um drama totalmente chato de assistir , não consegue te prender em momento nenhum pelo menos foi o meu caso, enredo comum roteiro mal escrito e para ajudar temos más atuações especialmente da protagonista feminina, falando nela achei ela tão superficial quanto uma parede, não tinha expressão nenhuma que agonia. O casal principal não tem química nenhuma não dá para salvar nada ali.
Casal secundário eram ainda mais entediantes afinal todos os personagens eram irritantes e superficiais , você lendo uma revista de auto peças vai tirar mais emoção do assistir isso. Tentei com todas minhas forças porem com os olhos sangrando consegui ir até o episódio 13 mais do que isso iria precisar de ajuda. Na realidade eu não teria estrutura para ver nem mais um segundo desse show terrível.

I should lower my expectations but I simply can’t

Arthdal Chronicles is an exceptional fantasy masterpiece that stands out for its pure fantasy elements. The show is so unique and full of details which even some of novel based drama do not possess.

Now, let's address the elephant in the room - the absence of some of the original cast members. I understand the disappointment that may arise from this, as I myself didn't have high expectations for a show that had to navigate such a challenging situation. However, this time is different. How can I truly be saddened when one of Korea's gems is returning to portray a character in a historical drama? Lee Joon Gi, not only being a talented and sensitive actor, is the perfect choice to embody the war machine we anticipate seeing on screen. War is coming and Lee Joon Gi's coming back! When it comes to Shin Se Kyung's portrayal of Tan Ya in Arthdal Chronicles, there is no need to worry. Her previous collaboration with the writers in "Six Flying Dragons" should alleviate any concerns about her portrayal of Tan Ya in Arthdal Chronicles. However, it is worth noting that Tan Ya may have been perceived as the least interesting character among the main five at least in my perception. The hope is that her character will become more productive and have a greater impact on the story, moving away from repetitive interactions such as constantly calling EunSeom as her savior or trying to save a trib that actually is not interested to be saved.

One of the most thrilling aspects I have observed in the upcoming Arthdal Chronicles is the custom design. While I am not a fashion expert, the show's outfit choices have left me somewhat puzzled. It was challenging to discern whether it was set during winter or summer, if the weather was cold or warm, or if the setting was reminiscent of Greece or medieval England. Additionally, I yearned for the inclusion of the distinctive Asian style that I love seeing in Korean dramas. Fortunately, the production spared no expense in enlisting the talented Cho Sang Kyung, known for their iconic costume design in shows like 'Squid Game' and 'It's Okay to Not Be Okay'. With their expertise, it is already clear from the photos that the costume design in future episodes of Arthdal Chronicles will become more cohesive and representative of a specific time and place. Their involvement brings anticipation for a more visually striking and culturally resonant aesthetic in the show.

Indeed, when it comes to our opinions and preferences, we often love to hate and hate to love. Despite any criticisms or frustrations, there is still an underlying love and passion for the series that keeps us engaged.

Just a gender change for Nirvana in Fire ... can not watch beyond a few episodes

Just a gender change for Nirvana in Fire ...
But its boring -
1. Emperor is better and nicer by allowing the crown princess to live when all except her 9 nine generations are killed. Due to this reason alone -the fight is not on solid grounds - its not on par with Nirvana in Fire
2. Poor intelligence or supporting community for Emperor / Crown Prince and this is unacceptable
3. .. I totally support women empowerment but power does not come by suppressing opposite gender .... Put the villain equally intelligent and make crown prince and emperor intelligent and show me how the Dilraba does it well

Son Yuke is too old for Mook

Mook Worranit... The young GMMTV girlie... Who did they pair her with here? Son Yuke? Gee... I remember him from 'Sao Noi'... 34 episodes of suffering, LOL. And quite dated, too. Is he still around? He must be kinda old. Or like, onscreen-old. I would love to finally see someone new, maybe? They always only get the GIRL exchanged. Plus, I never liked Son Yuke... Couldn't they pair the girl with Guy Sivakorn, at least? Son Yuke is too old for Mook.

The two spend night together in 1 room due some stupid plot about exchanged key cards and then spend the whole episode 2 explaining that they really don't want to date. I realized, I didn't wish them to date, either.
