Top 3 most hated tropes?

1. Love triangles that drag on. It makes me think the apex person doesn’t love either of them if they can’t make up their mind, so why should I care?

2. You are a dumpster fire of a person but you are a parent/emperor/whoever so all is forgiven at the end.

3. I am a heroine who is so cheerfully dumb that one wonders how I haven’t died from forgetting to breathe. Aren’t I adorable?

Start Up - Dropped at ep 1

I have started watching it on Netflix randomly w/o knowing anything about it, and watched the entire episode rooting for Han Ji Pyeong only to find out that he is the second lead at the last 30 second of the episode. I loved his character only in one episode, enough to watch the rest of the show for him, but turns out the show made his character that loveable only to make the ship wars more intense. I like love triangles, as long as they help viewers realize the main couple is actually the main couple, not when they are used to induce ship wars. So yeah, I am out as of episode 1. I will consider the grandma-good boy story in this first episode as a heartwarming short movie and move on.

Brazilian cherries aren’t related to common cherries at all! They look like this and taste rather sour:

Also, if you’re not used to them, Brazilian grapetrees look really alien:

The fruit is formed in the trunk, not the branches!

I also think that it was mostly the technical limitations that made the acting and direction as it was in the early movies. For example, there were no digital cameras so they had to spend rolls of film if they’d wanted to shoot a scene from multiple angles. Not to mention that it was not time- and cost-effective to edit and montage the different angles with the technology and technical expertise of that era.

when i watch old movies i’m constantly surprised by how much acting has improved. not that the acting in the classics is bad, it’s just often kind of artificial? it’s acting-y. it’s like stage acting.

it took some decades for the arts of acting and filmmaking to catch up to the potential that was in movies all along; stuff like microexpressions and silences and eyes, oh man people are SO much better at acting with their eyes than they were in the 40′s, or even the 70′s.

the performances we take for granted in adventure movies and comedies now would’ve blown the critics’ socks off in the days of ‘casablanca’.

someone: you should watch this drama! the friendships are fantastic, the characters are written so well, the plot is interesting and has depth, there are no cliches, and its just a 10/10 show

me: but is there romance?
