I watched this….in its entirety…. I’m ashamed, but I also blame Melting me softly. I figured I can blame everything that goes wrong irl on the drama until the end of the year
Oooh lol. As Wookie’s fan I was committed to suffering through this but I gave up a few weeks back but the girl who rewatches Healer every year gave me the stink eye so I was thinking of going back to finish it. But then I don’t want fairies to die 😭😭. Is this a Sophie’s Choice moment? Lol I even blame the drama for making me this dramatic
I’m sure a number of people tuned in just to see what it was we were ranting about. Still Netflix continues to advertise it hard – probably because they’ve invested in the upcoming season 2.
The lead in WIL might just be the worst half of a couple I’ve seen in dramaland. I wanted to shake the girl and possibly kidnap her just to get away from what was clearly a crazy person
I know right! Of ALL the ways he could have got together with her, he went with THAT??? Lol I’m getting mad all over again. I need something to cleanse my palate
Aaaaaand I just realised we were having two different conversations. 🤦♀️. I thought you meant Melting me and only saw after clicking the link you meant WIL. Oh yeah, that should definitely go. I still don’t even understand why….just why???
LOL I thought that might be the case. I mean Melty is also awful and JCW’s character is a sexist jerk. But at least he’s probably not abusive (disclaimer for having dropped the show at episode 6).
While the ML in Melty did coerce her to participate in a questionable and very unsafe experiment, to give him his due, he did not somehow get an entire medical system to fake a cancer diagnosis and months of treatments so a girl who gave him a cake, once, (am I remembering that correctly?) would like him. WIL’s male lead is an abusive stalker that would even make Hannibal Lector say “wtf dude.”
Love this – PSA for horrible shows…..
I bow to you @egads and @leetennant!
You are the best for looking out for the rest of us!
*bows deeply to you two*
I watched the whole thing too. What is wrong with us. The only thing that lessens the sting is I fast forwarded some parts. So I’m telling myself that I am not completely hopeless. Like “oh, yeah you messed up, buuuuut it could have been worse”. Lying to oneself is important sometimes.
@rueffie I liken it to watching a bad train wreck and that it’s so bad I can’t turn away…
Sometimes I continue to watch because I can’t believe it’s so bad and somehow it will get better…
right? anyway, thanks for admitting that you watched the whole show too
Well to be honest, I got sucked into Guardian on Viki last weekend. It is a kind of similar to The Untamed – but nowhere near as epic. I like the two main leads- but mostly I love watching on Viki and reading the comments.
It’s another fun(?) group of characters fighting evil with all their special powers, though some characters are just absurd.
There aren’t so many on this show like The Untamed where I had to turn them off due to so many. But anyway, I got sucked in and want to see to the end. sigh, I must be addicted to self abuse
But note, this is NO WHERE near as bad as WIL.
Lol maybe by the 5th horrible drama we will have learned to say no to the crazy/bad. I am working on getting strong enough not to finish Melting. While not as crazy as MIL, I know it’s pretty bad. It’s been panned here on DB, but still I wonder….
Is this the one where she has leukemia but doesn’t because the CEO bribed the doctor to tell her and then basically ruins her life? I saw the first episode. My secretary saw it all and spoiled it for me. Lol. I said, pass, when she told me the plot.
That’s it. He stalks her for two years and then fakes a cancer diagnosis and then says he’ll donate his bone marrow to her if she marries him and it’s all a scam because she once bought him a cake or something and apparently her spending months in hospital recovering from fake surgery and fake chaemo for a fake cancer diagnosis before returning home to be married to her stalker is far more romantic than just asking a girl you like out for a coffee.
Maybe she’ll finally come to her senses and leave him in the second season? The world’s gone yumpy if madness like this is so well received it gets a second season.
I guess this would be a bad time to tell you all that it would this show that got my secretary hooked on Asian dramas? This is the show in which afterwards she asked me for a list of kdramas to watch! The one where she watched….twice??? Was it really THAT bad??? Now, I’m doubting all the recommendations I gave her. I should have found more overbearing, abusive chaebol characters for her to watch. Lol.
Let me see… when she finds out about the fake cancer she tries to leave him and he imprisons her in the house and refuses to let her leave so you tell me.
