Girls Review

Gyuri: 4/10 turn off after ep 10

-i know i may be harsh with this rank but i’m so mad at her rn

-Gyuri was up there in rank. I ranked her like 8/10 but she has fallen to 4/10 for me. I thought she was similar to Hajeong, bad ass and keeps it real. There’s still some truth to it but she’s a bit of a hypocrite.

context: I am a ship for minwoo and sieun, gyuri and minkyu

- the fact that she has the audacity to be mad at minwoo for liking another girl who he had a connection while she cozying up with minkyu. Out of no where, picking him and expecting him to choose her after one night. Getting mad at him for leaning towards another girl and “contemplating between two of us” when she did the same to GREEN FLAG MIN KYU. THE NERVE OF YOU. It’s like she can’t fathom the idea that someone was contemplating over her and another girl. Bitch, the fact that you got Min kyu and is contemplating is what’s ridiculous. If you don’t want him, I’ll gladly take him off your hands.

-She was so rude about it too. The way she talked to minwoo and sieun was so demeaning like she knew she’s older. Telling si eun she can’t talk to minwoo when their conversation ended and she’s been hogging minwoo the whole night i swear if you hurt minkyu like that i’ll kick you off the island.

Min Young: 5/10

-Hypocrite. I can understand her wanting to talk to the other guys and not putting her eggs is one basket. But being mad at Jin Seok for looking the other way and being interested in another girl. “wasn’t I obvious about my feelings?” You and Gyuri need a lesson in communication. Use your freaking words. Say you were jealous, say that you figured out you have feelings for him, apologise and say that your set on him. I am so mad. Green Flag men are getting wasted in this season. Get me a plane, I’ll take them off the island myself. Redeemed herself towards the end becauseI have to admit their chemistry is cute.

Ha Jeong 7/10

Bad Bitch level 10. She says it how it is. Honest to the T. Tells you how it is and how it should be. Only problem? She backs down to Gwang Hee. I- omg girl you’re hot, smart and intelligent. Why are you dumbing yourself down for a man child like Gwang Hee. Honestly on god, I get so frustrated. I can’t take when she dumbs herself down, apologies when she’s not at fault and let’s herself get gaslit by someone who insults her, berates her and is down-right disrespectful. I literally wanted her to go with Jin Seok because they were so funny together. Why is Gwang Hee so popular?

Hye Seon 8/10

She is the more tamed version of Ha Jeong. Very intelligent and crafty. I feel she is very good at noting cues when a guy is trying to twist the narrative or make her do something, and she’s very smart about it. She’s very classy and something about her is alluring. But again, WHY ARE YOU BACKING DOWN FOR GWANG HEE. She knows her worth, she knows she confident so WHY. WHY GWANG HER GOD DAMMIT.

Si Eun 7/10

Poster child for elegance. Sweet and Beautiful. I feel like there’s more to her but she’s the quiet type and there wasn’t enough screen time for her. Though I wish she would be more up-front with setting boundaries and being honest with her feelings. The amount of times I wanted her to just tell Won Ik the truth, and the fact that Won ik could read between the lines but was still being pushy with his feelings just cause she’s a nice person. Though her scenes with minwoo is just so adorable, the way she blushes at him just i can’t. Was a 6/10 but is so cute with minwoo, i gave her more points.

Min Ji 2/10

Fake af. This girl honest to god. She played my man Jin Seok and acted like he was going to be her pick, while also saying the same thing to Gwang Hee. Crying everytimes things didn’t go her way. I have no idea why she used a purple tutu to sleep but whatever. I feel like the whole time she was acting. Red flag with neon lights. I could care less about gwan hee being mad at her but like have some decency and respect for his date. Why you trying to flirt with him in front of her. “Min kyu and I would just have fun in paradise” has it ever crossed your mind that maybe he wants to stay in inferno because there’s a girl he likes there?

[tachosnachos]

This is just for fun probably not gonna do this again. I’ve been watching a lot of kdrama series lately so I thought I’d rate them.

note: My ratings are mostly based on my attention span. If it’s a good show with good characters, I usually look past acting and stick to it. Also, I always finish a series I started because I’m just built that way.

above 5 means it’s watchable, less than 5 means it’s trash and I’m dying.

Some are on going, some finished, some I’m still finishing

1. Destined With You 7/10 (Finished)

Rowoon’s acting man, he keeps it nice and fresh. His chemistry with Jo Boah…chef’s kiss 🤌🏼 So cute. The story isn’t interesting enough for me to pay attention to tho, in fact it makes things confusing. Like do they like each other because they like each other, or because of their past lives, or because of the love spell. Up until the end, the book of spells things had no relevance to the story whatsoever.

2. Strong Girl Nam Soon 7/10 (finishing)

It’s hard not to compare it to strong do bong soon, which is like one of the staples of kdrama. Started out way too fast paced, it was giving me a whiplash and then it dragged in the middle. Namsoon and ML has barely any chemistry. It was like they just like each other, like it was already decided they were going to be together from the start. RYU FUCKING SHIO. Carried the fucking show. His little interactions with Namsoon, his back story, him blushing at her. Everything. 2 points just for him. They did him dirty. Why do writers keep doing this? Make us think he has a chance and kill him off at the end? like wtf

3. A Good Day to be A Dog 8/10

Airing once a week makes it hard to remember the story and because of that the recaps takes time off the actual episode. I read parts of the webtoon. The show is very similar except for the part in the past life. Light and funny, but that’s it. Idk in my head i’m comparing it to business proposal (another feel good show) and it just falters in comparison. Also, idk if this is an unpopular opinion but CEW acting isn’t as good as it was in true beauty. I understand the characters are similar but him in true beauty was much better or am i biased? here he seems more stoic and he does this poses in some scenes that feels like he knows he’s good looking and it’s funny to watch 😂 like yes sir you are good looking we get it. Who is directing him to do this.

4. Moon in the Day 7/10

Good but exhausting. Every episode there’s a new plot, new plot twist. It’s trying to be so many things at once and forcing all the pieces to fit in that the main leads are neglected. Tho there are a couple of scenes where they were so cute and adorable but not enough. Before you know it they’re professing love to each other like when did that happen? Is FL the same person she was in her past life or not? Is ML in love with her or because she looks like his wife. The curse thing is also so confusing. Over-explains itself.

5. The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract 6/10

Not enough episodes to have an opinion but with the recent ones, i just think it’s cute. It’s cute and fun. Nothing that makes me excited to watch it again. It’s always the last I watch on fridays and saturdays. I like the actors. But the ML feels like a miscast. I know he’s a good actor but he just feels way too boy next door-y. Which is so confusing because I could’ve sworn I’ve watched him in another show where he was a chaebol and he was fine. Idk if it was the director’s fault but he just doesn’t feel like a rich chaebol ceo yet. Hopefully he falls into the character more in the next episodes. FL is so freaking beautiful tho and her acting 📈

6. My Demon 9/10

Visual Couple, Funny story, amazing scene. Also props to the writers and directors like how they thought of tango/fighting scene is beyond me. It’s currently the only one i’m excited to keep watching. And the story isn’t too complicated that it’s confusing to understand and still feels logical, even though it’s fantasy. 100% recommend you jump into the bandwagon. could be 10/10 if happy ending but we’ll have to wait for that.

7. My man is cupid 8/10

Feels like my demon. I like it. I kinda like my demon more not sure why. I think my demon keeps us in out toes while this show is more of a slowburn. It just feels like any other fantasy show rn obviously it’s only been two episode but still interesting. Attractive actors. Nana is so freaking pretty. ML and SL is also good looking.

8. The Matchmakers 7/10

trying to focus while watching it. It’s very slow paced and I have the attention span of a fish. That being said there some funny scenes that made me topple over laughing but I think I’m going to wait until all episodes are out and finish it.

9. Castaway Diva 8/10 (finishing)

Just started but already the scenes are so pretty. PEB can literally make me watch anything of hers she’s such a good actress. Story is very fresh and easy to watch. Don’t know who ML is yet but I have a feeling it’s not my pick. Woo Hak just goes above and beyond for her, if he’s not Ki Ho (?) I’m going to be so angry. Does FL have to always end up with the childhood love?? To hell with star-crossed lovers.

10. Perfect Marriage Revenge 6/10

It started out good and then it was just exhausting to watch. Every problems have easy solutions that the antagonists don’t really feel like villains. Very telenovela-y. I did read the webtoon so the story wasn’t that much of a surprise. I do however have a bone to pick. I am very confident in Sung Hoon’s acting skills. I’ve watched his other series previously. So why…Why is he making his voice lower than it is 😂 It’s so obvious it’s funny. I try to ignore but in some scenes where he’s supposed to be angry, it sounds more like he’s growling. I can’t take him seriously at all.

If characters of maze runners were named after historical figures like Thomas Edison, Mother Teresa and Isaac Newton.

Then Minho must be named after Lee Minho. Certified Spoiled Chaebol, mermaid lover and parallel universe traveling King.

That’s it. That’s what keeps me up at night and lives rent free in my brain 24/7.

Omg guys I don’t want the sl with the fl. I know he’s messed up in the head, I know he has problems but his arc and the fl’a arcs are interesting. I tried giving the ml a chance, I gave the writers chances to give me more of him but idk much about him. I don’t know his aspirations, his struggles or even when he started liking the girl. His family is nice, his life seems perfect other than the problems in cheer team, he’s just too perfect. There’s nothing wrong with that as long as you pair it with interesting plots/ growths but I can’t find it. The only time I find him interesting is when he’s on stage.

I want complex, I want an underdog, I want good boy with a little bit of relatable qualities. AND I WANT MORE SCENES. He’s just (this is my opinion btw) a bit…. boring? Don’t get me wrong he’s good for her, I just don’t know much about him.

Pls stop screaming at me 🥲 Just because I find another character more interesting that does not mean I want him to get the girl…

exactly why i did not even look through comments. I have no time for ableism. I watched for woo young woo and only her. Not her actress but her character. She must be protected.

hurt my baby whale I will tear you apart.

I made the mistake of looking at some of the comments about Extraordinary Attorney Woo and wow the way people hate to see people with disabilities fall in love. I swear to god 7 out of 10 comments was “I really hope they don’t add any romance, it’ll take away from her character!” Y’all better say that at the beginning of every drama where the female lead has a job.

[tachosnachos]

best boss ❤️ he has to get better in season 2 or I’ll boycott the whole show…

jk i like the show too much

[tachosnachos]

I need korean dramas to stop portraying panic attacks as throwing shit into a wall. Can’t say for all but most people with anxiety and depression I know, as well as my own experience (Yes I am diagnosed with depression and ptsd I’m not just spouting nonsense) don’t go on a rampage. That sounds more like anger issues and having a melt down if anything. If anything the only damage we do is to ourselves and just curl up into a corner. Also please stop telling a person who is having a mental break down to “get it together”. Tomorrow I love you but I’m staring at you. I’m still angry about that.

Just rewatched the whole Skam Espana Series again. I remembered not liking that I had to wait until the third season only to find the season won’t be my Norandro ship sailing but now that I think about it. THE WHOLE SERIES WAS BASICALLY THEIR LOVE STORY. Their growth, enemies to lovers, trauma, getting together, breaking up and finally accepting their traumas and each other and falling in love with each other once more. At first when they said they loved each other I was like isn’t it too quick, children? but if you watch all the clips of their stories in order, these two have been through hell and back. FALL FOOLISHLY IN LOVE KIDS YOU DESERVE IT!!!

Try and convince me this guy is not an angel. He saw the posts, contacted the guy, met the guy and even signed some prints for him. The guy’s a small artist and he has now met JOHNNY FREAKIN DEPP!!! You have no idea what it feels to have your work appreciated by the person the art was inspired by, even more when the person seemed unreachable yet here he is in front of you. He’s so humble I’m crying

I had some work to do but now I’m back with another series of *You know what this looks like to me*

note: Yes, I finished watching. Yes, I know they’re not their children. Am I still going to be delulu? Yes.

Another note: Of course I don’t support any of these actions. This is for comical purpose, so take it lightly.

You know what this looks like to me (Part 2)

Mommy’s favourite smart boy Ryun Goo edition

You know what this looks like to me?

🙎🏻‍♀️: my son just won 1st place mathlete

Mommy Koo: *snicker, pats Ryun Goo’s head fondly* Did you know my Ryun Goo won every other year, he didn’t go this year because he said it was boring and wanted join the one is US. He’s so selfless, giving other kids a chance… Did you also know he’s the class president, highest in class, music prodigy-

🙎🏻‍♀️: I heard Choi Jun Woong is last again

Mommy Koo: *scoffs* Please, the other boys could only dream to have half of my Jun Woong’s beauty. Ever heard the saying “When your pretty, nothing else matters”. Of course, it’s all thanks to me and my husband’s perfect visuals- *looks at 🙎🏻‍♀️’s son* You know korea has some top notch plastic surgeons, should I give you a number?

Ryun Goo: *silently eats his food because no one can stop a mom when they’re showing off* 👀 I should’ve stayed home.

You know what this looks like to me?

Ryun Goo: Eomma, is this necessary?

Mommy Koo: *shushed him as the door open* Principal! It’s nice to finally meet you! *snaps her fingers, her little minion staffs bring in boxes of gifts*

Mommy Koo: I hope you like them, I personally chose them for you! Ah, I’ve heard a lot about you from my husband! Do you remember him? THE CHAIRMAN OF JUMADEUNG CORP? CHAIRMAN PARK JOONG GIL? Yes, yes, I’m sure you know him! This is my son RYUN GOO, thay’s RY-UN-GUUU. Remember his name.

Ryun Goo: *Face palm and mutters* you only talk about dad’s work when you need something…At least give him more attention at home…

Princess Diaries 3? Yes?

Unexpected Wonders…

Anne Hathaway and Zendaya for Bulgari

[tachosnachos]

Oh and I would also like to add:

He kissed her while she was unconscious. Then the writers has the AUDACITY- the fucking AUDACITY- to insert romantic music in the background like I was supposed to swoon at the scene or something.

I’m puking. No. Respectfully. I love JKY. But no.

If Born Again is an attempt to teach people to be more understanding to people with mental illness or sociopaths. FUCK YOU. Sincerely, in the most respectful way possible.

This is only going to feed into the idea that mental illness is dangerous. Yes, there are cases where sociopaths gets their life together but what’s the difference between these people and the show. THEY UNDERSTAND THEIR BEHAVIOUR IS WRONG AND SEEK HELP. Where in the show did JB seek help?

He didn’t even think there’s anything wrong with him, he kept defending himself. He only stopped because he couldn’t stand the girl not liking him. When KSH said his behaviour was disgusting, he played victim and asked if he would say the same thing to any normal person. As if KSH had it out for him and just him. Oh poor you, judge by the world.

GET 👏🏻 HELP 👏🏻

KSH said it so perfectly, “Normal people don’t stalk like you do.”

Say it louder for all the JB empathisers. What should I make of this show? They villainies the psychotic sfl but romanticise him? Why? Because she’s a woman?? Make it make sense!

I was missing some Lee Soo Hyuk content and decided to rewatch born again, only to be reminded why I hated that show.

Jesus christ the FL is infuriating. I’m not even mad at the second lead (?), who’s clear as day a borderline psychopath. I’m more mad how spineless the FL is. He put a tracker in her phone, looked through her diary, put recorders to listen in on her and almost killed someone because he was jealous and she said “it’s alright. You didn’t mean to do it.” HUH??? What in the stockholm syndrome is this dumpster fire. I’m sorry I don’t think you understand, he wasn’t going to kill you, that knife was for your bf so if you weren’t there, someone else was going to die. And even after knowing he almost killed you, you smile and invite him out for dinner. HUH????? x2

It’s alarming how easily she empathise with serial killers. When asked “what if he goes out of jail and kills again?” she said “What if he doesn’t, why can’t you give him a chance?” HUH???? x3

That’s not up to you miss. Try telling that to the victim’s family like wtf. It’s not for you to forgive.

I’m not mad LSH didn’t get the girl because his character is not a saint either, but anyone but the other guy. He’s A PSYCHO. WHY WE ROMANTICISING A STALKER LIKE NO. It’s almost offensive that they tried to give him an arc. Like he’s a stalker yes but he’s learned his lesson. WTF put him in a ward bro, that’s not okay. Her reason for liking him is so stupid too. Because she remembered how many times he protected when half of the time, he caused it. And have you forgotten how the other guy saved you every other time for SL’s own actions??? What world do we live in where stalking to that degree is romantic? Most people are NOT STALKERS. So why don’t we start with not normalising criminal behaviour, yes? 7 billion people in the world and you chose a stalker???

I went over to reddit and some person was debating with people how fl and sl is destined to be together, fated to be lovers. In the past, he was a convicted serial killer. Even though it turned out it wasn’t him, he knew about the murders and he also killed her fiance. In the future? No better. Literal sociopath with no empathy and knows no emotion other than when it comes to FL. He excuses all his actions due to his alarming infatuation with her. He attempted murder twice. Destiny? Yeah, okay. Sure, let’s call it that.

I want my life before watching this show back thank you.

[tachosnachos]

It blows my mind how the writers thought that after everything Jong Bum did, he deserved absolute redemption?!!! They made the plot entirely self gratifying for Jong Bum , as if he is some sort of hero, and that is infuriating.

This man obsessed over Sa Bin. Was not polite enough to respect the rules of student teacher interactions and forced his presence upon her. He stalked (WHICH IS A FELONY) her, going so far to live above her uncles and install a tracking device on her phone. He invaded her privacy and her personal thoughts. He consistently touched her as if he had the right to. He premeditated the murder of the person she said she loved. HE KISSED HER WHILE SHE WAS UNCONSCIOUS WHICH IS SEXUAL ASSAULT. He consistently put her and the people she cared about in serious danger because he wanted to be the one to play the hero. He stood by as his brother was drowning. He stood by and did nothing as a serial killer attacked and almost killed a man. His past life killed people. His past life killed her past life’s fiancé. And that’s just scratching the surface.

He is unsettling, he is creepy, he is arrogant and narcissistic and 300% a psychopath. His presence makes me physically uncomfortable and nauseous.

His relationship with Sa Bin is probably one of the most TOXIC I have seen in my life.

HE DOES NOT DESERVE AN OUNCE OF PITY.

HE DOES NOT DESERVE REDEMPTION.

HE DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE MADE INTO SOME HERO AND TO GET THE GIRL.

HE DESERVES KARMA. HE DESERVES TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS ACTIONS.

Writers you have destroyed this story and I don’t give a fuck about Jong Bum and Ji Chul so the fact that you have turned the story so it favors him has earned you the hatred of probably the entire internet.

Congratulations on pushing forward the most nonsensical and damaging messages through your show. Congratulations on romanticizing stalking and obsession even though these are both serious topics that affect millions over the world and are in fact CRIMES that people go to JAIL for and doing it the way you have is incredibly insensitive to those who have suffered. Congratulations on promoting sexual assault as romantic. Congratulations on suggesting that the crimes and actions that narcissistic psychopaths committed can be forgiven, tolerated, and justified simply because their upbringing was terrible and because they are so “pitable” everything is okay. Congratulations on pushing forward the idea that women should heal the broken man. Congratulations on ignoring the serious need for professional help in aiding those with mental illnesses. Congratulations on suggesting that women should consider themselves Mother Teresa and task themselves with saving a person that they have no qualifications in saving. Congratulations on promoting the one of the most toxic relationship I have seen in my life and advertising it as the definition of love. Congratulations on making your female character a wishy washy idiot who ignores red flags when dealing with toxic people, romanticizes toxic people, has double standards to her forgiveness, doesn’t stand sincere and loyal with her feelings. treats the people around her terribly and is a ginormous hypocrite. Congratulations on attempting to vilify the relatively sane other male lead simply because the actor playing the psychopath stalker murderer is so popular that he is the hero even when that should not be the case whatsoever. Congratulations on wasting talent and natural chemistry in favor of this garbage fire of a script.

What do I need to do writer to make sure you never write again? Because everything you touch turns to poison.

Let’s take the time and appreciate this high art and it’s very complex beauty. Not me as an art student trying to use this as my essay 🫥

[tachosnachos]

As someone who is/was suicidal and loves tomorrow I have to agree. I especially hate every time Koo Ryeon tells a person to “snap out of it” when they’re in an episode. As much as I love her character, what she did is potentially dangerous in real life scenarios. I’ve had people done that to me, it does not help. It heightens your panic and anxiety. This is definitely not a good example of how to handle a friend when they’re breaking down. Instead, hold their hand and distract them. I heard giving them something to touch helps like a bottle of cold water or for me, I always tell my brother to squeeze my hand. Koo Ryeon lacks that extra empathy that is needed for her to be good at her job. She doesn’t need to be overly sensitive but she should still know when to say and what to say. Pushing someone who’s already on the edge won’t do anything. In real life, that person would actually jump and if it wasn’t for her powers, that person would’ve been dead.

I love the moral of the series and yes, I believe many can still relate, but I hope people don’t use this as a base to “cure” people with suicidal tendencies. Suicide is not a one time thing. It’s drilled to the brain, it’s a habit of sort. You can stop today and it may still come back in a month or a year. Trauma cannot be forgotten either. You may come to terms with it but it’s still in the back of your brain. It affects how you carry yourself and how you act. The person doesn’t have to be at their lowest to have these thoughts, they can be at their highest and still have these thoughts. My main problem is with the cases on ED (bulimia) and SA. You can’t cure ED by a couple of encouraging words from your peer, especially from a trauma that was stemmed from childhood. I get what they’re trying to depict with her hugging her old self but coming terms with you past does no equivalent to your trauma being gone. Accepting also does not mean forever. I’ve had times where I accepted the abuse I got and here I am today, changing my mind. The trauma is still there. With the SA case, it’s obvious the brother and sister both needs therapy or at least a mediator. Just because they won the case, doesn’t mean the trauma is gone. It’s human nature to blame yourself and if it was real life, they probably won’t ever have an open-conversation about it because they don’t want to hurt each other. They’ll just pass it off as them being fine because they’re both scared of making the other depressed again. They’re just going to walk on egg shells around one another, pretending to be fine, which will only deteriorate their mental health. They need therapy. They all do. They need to talk about it so they can be there for one another and they need another person to step in when they need to be separated.

I know mental health is taboo in Asia but I want to get to a point where it can be something people talk openly about. Where professional help is encouraged even when there is no diagnosis whatsoever.

Tomorrow is giving you the wrong advice for your suicidal friend.

Now look, don't misunderstand me, Joon-Woong is kind, Gu Ryeon is hot and well-meaning, and I want her and Joong-Gil to have every happiness. But it's clear that Jumadeung doesn't have even the most cursory mental health training, so let's do better.

I mentioned being bothered by this before, and I think people were concerned that I was personally triggered by the show. I'm not. I'm concerned that people will use this show as any kind of model for dealing with the people in their lives. I have taken three friends directly to the mental health emergency room, and they are all still alive. I have also survived decades of my own crises, and lots of lower level concerns that didn't require hospitalization.

Do not say, go ahead, do it, no one can stop you. That's fucking terrible. Gu Ryeon gets away with it because she has magic powers to catch them after they jump.

Don't invalidate their feelings, lessen their suffering, guilt them out, threaten then with hell, center your own hurt, or monologue.

Listen. Remind people that you love them, that you want to help them, that they are important to you, and that losing them will hurt you. Find out how serious it is--do they have a plan? Ask them to promise that they won't self harm. Ask if you can be with them now. Make plans for specific things they will enjoy tomorrow and in the next few days.

If someone is actively in a bad place, things like food, water, meds, exercise, and physical grounding are good. Ibuprofen or NSAIDS are good. Carbs are good. Avoid things that lower inhibitions or increase impulsiveness.

Don't think you are going to say something that fixes it forever. You're not. Don't think they are getting it over it because of you. Or because of a good cry. Or because they laughed and you were relieved. Or because of one week in-patient, or a few therapy appointments. On the other hand, recovery is possible.

Help them access professional help. Is the suicide hotline in their phone? Do they have a clinician? Do they need help locating and making an appointment? Do they need a ride to a mental health hospital? Try to get them help within what they consent to.

Are you in the USA? Don't just call 911. Cops will show up. Cops shoot disabled people at a terrifying rate, especially on mental health calls. Unless you are certain that there are specialized, trained, noncops on the other end, don't call emergency services.
