#2021 Drama Round-up
Day 13. Drama beanies loved but I didn’t / Drama I loved but beanies didn’t
This happens every year. Usually more than once. Some dramas get a lot of love and I’m left puzzled by the fact I detest them. Whether I drop them (DOTS) or make myself get to the last ep (del Luna), they make want to throw the nearest shoe at the screen. This year though. It was just such a non-kdrama year. Even the dramas I liked could not come even close to the stuff from other countries and those I disliked could not really make me hate them, so my traditional unpopular opinions became a mild version of themselves.
I can’t say I loved Nevertheless but I think it was a misunderstood drama. I thought it was about a young woman playing mind games with this mysterious playboy who might or might not be a manipulative person. As such it was rather interesting for the first 5 eps but later became very slow and meandering, coming back to the theme in the very last ep. However, since the narrator was so unreliable and the original story from the webtoon was so different, it made most people belive it was all about a bad relationship instead of a woman learning to make her own choices and growing up in the process.
I can’t say I hated Happiness but I’ve always been attracted to the premise of people stranded somewhere. I don’t care if it’s an island, a ship, or some boring building so this drama had me at hello. It should be all about character study and kdramas do try to be good at this so how come it got worse with each episode? The thing is I could not care for any of the characters, their actions became more unbelievable with every scene, as the story moved on everyone in the building simply stopped reacting in any way a real person would, doing any crazy action plot required to create even more unrealistic situations.
