No, well yes, but not today. I knew it was popular when it aired.
Nah I was asking for critiques on three airing shows, because I’m gonna drop Angel’s last mission and need to pick something up. I mentioned I’d probably start an already aired drama but wanted to see what people thought of One Spring Night and others anyway.
And then typically, I just started the already aired drama instead of anything I was directly asking about hahaha
Okay Sic, you have challenged me to write more than just “the women are BADASS” like I did last night. I admit that I tend to go with the flow when watching dramas and it doesn’t seem to be in my nature to critique them to death.
(though some of my co-workers might say differently when I do a peer review of their docs..
So let me explain why I am enjoying WWW and what I don’t care for. I think better in the morning after a cup of coffee.
Characters
Yes – I like the storyline of three very strong, intelligent women who hold a certain amount of power in their jobs and at Barro they listen and consider the thoughts of their co-workers. They don’t just run everything like so many male bosses in kdramas do.
No – I don’t like that they still lack agency in their personal lives – the one with the evil MIL is quite pathetic and I think at some point she will tell her where to take a hike.
No – I don’t like the young man who is all but stalking Tammy – he needs to back the hell off. This romance does nothing for me – but it is nice that he does let her make up her mind. And it is showcasing how hard it is to open one’s heart after awhile. But this part of the plot does nothing for me. I hope he helps her work-wise at some point.
Yes and No – the men are very typical – nice thoughtful boss – cold aloof contract husband, snarky, childish and icky ex-boyfriend that doesn’t seem to have any reason in this show that i can figure out.
Camera work
I like how they use the shots of details to reflect the mood of the scene. Granted, it is pretty cliche, but I still like it.
What i don’t like it the long shots with the two people standing and looking at each other – drives me batty even though i know it is a way to show how emotionally far apart they are but still.
Editing
There are some very abrupt shifts in scenes that are jarring, but I don’t let it bother me.
Plot
I’ve written it before but I like the idea of exploring the integrity of how we use the internet. Let’s face it, most of us *raises hand* spend the majority of our days connecting to the web in some way or another. If we aren’t careful what and how we search and read, our intentions can be manipulated. Hence VPNs that some people use.
It isn’t a perfect show and they use a LOT of cliches, but not all are done in the usual way.
Mostly though I like that strong women are the focus of the show for once and that I still have to stop and think about it now and then when they are talking about the ethics of this or that. I like that.
I still like fluff and there are some shows that are fun to watch because they are so bad *Carrot boy*.
Overall I’ll continue to enjoy how you are able to dissect shows apart and do it in a way that is funny and understandable.
Thanks for the early morning challenge to explain coherently why I enjoy a show for what it is.
Enjoy the summer solstice!
Hahaha thank you for coming back to this and accepting my challenge.
I know it was a bit forward of me perhaps to push for it since not everyone looks at shows the way I do, but I really appreciate it because it’s the only way I can know more about a show I’m not watching.
So thank you. This is a very good concise list covering everything in the drama and what I should expect.
To be honest @sicarius – your writing always impresses me and intimidates me a bit too as it’s been so long since I really played with writing. It’s hard for me to be critical of kdramas – maybe because I don’t really expect a lot. Tbh – I can go ON and ON about how much I hate the current ‘orange thing’ in our white house. So apparently I am capable of well thought criticism.
I love your sh*tposts and how they make me rethink about the dramas. So thanks again!
