I think my kdrama slump has ended. I have been watching the dramas that I couldn’t drop and I am planning to watch most of the dramas premering this month. Already started 3 new dramas.

    🥳 Yay, you must be so happy. When we are without a source of joy for a period of time it really leaves a hole that can be hard to fill.

    I have a list of unfinished dramas that I want to finish. And also this time I am going to be more strict in dropping dramas that bore me. Dramas that I am watching currently are Tail of nine Tailed 2, May it Please the Court, Delightfully Deceitful, Happiness Battle, Bitch x Rich and a few old dramas.

      Wow it sounds like you have the week covered. My two must watch dramas are on Wed/Thursday; Race and The good bad mother but as Race drops both episodes on Wednesday I get to batch watch that and then I watch both The good bad mother episodes on Thursdays. I will have a big hole in my schedule when they finish. Looks like I will be back to reading the webtoons that I have been stockpiling.

        I have acquired the habit of watching in 2x speed that’s why it has been easier to watch a lot.

      I succeeded with Joseon Attorney where I expected better cause it has WDH but it was so darn boring in contrast I had no problem enjoying say Royal Secret Agent which I instead chose to continue with.

I can\’t seem to finish dramas anymore. I am starting to believe I have lost interest in kdramas and it has nothing to do with depression.

    It’s been that kind of year for a lot of people. Plus nearly everyone has low points where nothing or almost nothing is clicking. You’re not alone.

Another one of my favourite actors has turned out to be terrible what else is new lol. See this is why I don\’t like calling myself a fan. As it stands now I won\’t call any actor/actress my fave.

    Not that I took calling people my fave that seriously. They are human beings like everyone else not someone who can do no wrong

      Not being cynical I don’t think every actor is a bad person it just means it’s easy to step back and disconnect instead of the first instinct of being defensive.

I assume we still have a what we are watching thread I\’ll write about it there. Anyway I actually not just finished my Goodreads goal for 1000 books I exceeded it. I am at 1502 books so I\’ll stop now.

Having only decided to watch kdramas from my unfinished watchlist this year instead of starting anything new there was nothing to talk about. However I couldn\’t stop myself from starting two new ones.

It\’s always hard coming back here. Remember when a bunch of hit dogs were hollering feeling personally attacked for what I said? That was really something.

    This reminds me of TRS, that drama has the worst time comments I’ve seen in Viki so far.
    *San acts like a creep*
    The comments: Deok Im deserves it. It’s all her fault. She broke his heart. He’s the king she shouldn’t test him like this, blah blah blah.

    Till now I don’t know what made me hate the show more, San or people that supported him. Ah, no, it was the writer with the “I’m not gonna apologize”.

    Sorry for bringing up my Red Sleeve trauma here.

And suddenly words like complex, human, character development don’t mean anything.

    I think it has a lot to do with how the show treats the person who is villain (has a trauma, is regarded as a piece of shit by everyone around) and how it treats a good guy who fucks up time to time (the perfect hero/ too good for this world).

    When the narration is gaslighting the viewer and paints a very normal person as a perfect being, the viewers are put off by that character.

      I am not talking about that. Plus people complain if they are NOT perfect expecting them to be.

        Please also let’s not words like gaslighting lightly that’s not even what it means.

          “Gaslighting is a technique that undermines a person’s perception of reality. When someone is gaslighting you, you may second-guess yourself” that is actually what I meant here. The drama showing you one thing and interpreting it differently to make you believe that this is exactly what you should feel.

          Also, you wrote like three sentences and I commented on why that happens so often.

            People find characters who are too good in the show and also shown as such boring anyway how do you explain that. Also my point is you shouldn’t use the word gaslighting like this.

            I get what you are trying to say but I don’t think a character making a few mistakes makes them as bad as the villain. Sure you can like a character who is shitty to everyone over the so called perfect characters who are anything but that. But when a character isn’t perfect and the character is also not shown as perfect either and people still think their actions are comparable to someone who have done terrible things and complain basically asking for complex characters but then hating them for it anyway I can’t help but make a statement like that.

    There’s only so many ‘terrible to everyone’ characters I can take cause I also don’t like it when a show tries too hard to make me like a shitty person either.

I wish people approached other characters the way they approach villain characters in seperating them with the actors who play them.

    Oh damn, you’re right, that will definitely come in handy while separating the ML from an ideal rl boi 😂

So MDL has a bunch of people just trying to shit on NJH for his new drama huh. The way they\’ll hate an actor just for a character but they are the same ones who will defend irl terrible people.

    Interesting it doesn’t happen the other way round hating a character after thinking an actor might be a terrible person. Selective in seperating character from actor.

      It’s all seperate the art from the artist until they despise a character an actor plays.

        I have less trouble separating the two depending on how long I’ve loved the art (music from someone for example) which is ethically troubling to me. I also have trouble separating the two depending on how heinous the actions of the artist are (so the more horrendous it is to me, the harder it is to appreciate the art).
