Round-Up 2023 – Day 4

– The drama you loved and Beanies hated

I wanted to say Castaway Diva, but it got a lot of love here and elsewhere too; I’d say I strongly disagreed with some of the criticism it received from some Beanies, though.

On another note, I ended up liking Doona! much more compared to how the general reaction seems to have been on this site, so there’s that too.

– The drama you hated and Beanies loved.

There isn’t one I can think of, honestly.
Some majorly loved dramas I didn’t even check so I have no opinion on them either.

      Good question! I guess it was a lot of the earlier criticism related to the Kiho mystery, Mokha portrayal by PEB…I’d have to go through the recaps again to see exactly what the disagreements were about ahah!

        The reason I’m asking is so that I can defend CD. 🤣
        I too feel the “Who is Ki-ho” mystery did not add any value to the drama as a whole now that we have seen the entire narrative arc. But then, it was a choice by the writer and I respect it.
        I actually loved PEB’s portrayal as Mok-ha. I do get the Attorney Woo comparisons but I liked PEB, her styling as a country girl then as a star, her body language, use of vernacular / accent. I liked it ALL. 😀
        Some criticisms get redundant when we see the entire drama but is a natural and organic reaction to live watching. Maybe I will go and comment on recaps, after all hindsight is 20-20. 🤣🤷‍♀️

          True, it feels redundant at the end, that’s why I didn’t have a detailed answer to give you; a lot of things I felt while live watching I already got over, at this point.
          Also criticism is natural and to be expected, indeed!
