Lmangla 92,373 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 LOL.. @snowlou @partyon ~ I have a real fondness for makjang because it mostly makes you laugh. I have some really great memories of watching such dramas with family members and everyone is mad commenting and we are all laughing. with dramas like king, people have a meltdown when someone criticizes the plot or the actor. in makjang dramas, we are laughing at everything. am watching this daily at the moment and I have nicknamed the male lead as "robot" and female lead as "half brain impulsive heroine." you can't do that with other type of dramas. people would throw tomatoes at you. here, chingus tag me and post "don't blink lmangla, the robot might just show some emotion in the next episode" 636 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 @triplem me also rooting for Ho Jun from the beginning. And Jang Ki Yong's actor is way too young in real life. I like 'mature' actors and actresses. I think so far in kdramas..i havent suffered 2nd lead syndrome..hmm. Oh yes...YYs and Ho Jun also went travelling together in YOF @Lmangla are you sure you re not watching comedy? or makjang = comedy? Dont think so from the definition you gave previously (and Secret is def not a comedy). 638 Link to post Share on other sites
Lmangla 92,373 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 kekeke... @snowlou ~ makjang is life! and filled with plot twists! hahahaha... basically it can be hilarious even when it is not meant to be. I admit that even with serious melodramatic makjang like secret, there were parts of the drama that I was laughing. this was my ode to makjang a few years back: http://www.dramabeans.com/2017/07/changing-tastes-real-life-is-sometimes-more-bizarre-than-makjang-dramas/ (wrote it under another name: night owl; the post has a clear explanation of makjang. ) 636 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I forgot what blog article it was but it seems her City Hall (haven't watched) was the last non-cringe inducing script. But it wasn't a commercial success. Then she wrote Secret Garden (couldn't watch beyond ep 6 on two separate viewing attempts) which was a cult hit but could hardly be counted as smart plot. And since then she has been at it. Honestly I don't have the brains to understand the layers she writes into her plot. So I rely on other viewers analysis and comments. +2 2 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites
thanie 3,962 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 OMGeeeee! Lemme join you guys on this one. This is the result of my quiz: Ta-daaaaaa!

I've read many of your posts throughout the years when I've been browsing on Dramabeans Are you still active there?

cenching 42,409 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 @staygold The only KSE's drama that I watched is Goblin, I do like it for GY-LDW's bromance....Also YIN-LDW's romance....I don't know much about her other works. But if I based my opinions on TKEM, I would say it's overly cheesy for my taste (the romance part). The scene where The King saved his future Queen with horses and blades made me cringed and full of goosebumps. I am sure it was meant to be epic but most likely the problem is with me who is not so much into romance..... +2 6 Link to post Share on other sites
