The synopses don't mention anything about murder or over the top gore.

In fact they both appear to be love stories.

Hard pass.

If you want murder, crime, ott gore, lots of fights, then check out the excellent My Name. With only 8 eps its a good fast watch, cinematography is too-notch, and the female lead is excellent.

Familiar Wife is more about time travel and trying to fix shit after time travel. Hotel Del Luna is mostly about running a hotel for ghosts.

You keep watching shit that has the level of writing of David Cage though. You wouldn't appreciate anything that has better writing anyway.

Except Squid Game was pretty bad. They had a plot twist that didn't do anything, and another plot twist that actually hurt the show. Only hack writers like David Cage do stupid shit like that.

Also, Familiar Wife and especially Hotel Del Luna aren't obscure, lmao.

So I hate one popular thing and I'm one of those people all of a sudden? Lmao

Like seriously, the ending plot twist pretty much nullifies the marble episode, which was one of the best episodes in all of TV in a long time. Not only that, but it weakens a shitload of the show's stronger plot points.

Maybe you should go about things differently. If you want people to watch these shows, instead of shitting on a popular thing, say if you liked squid game, try these Korean shows! And in my opinion, theyre WAY better than squid game!

The show is pretty good, but the original webtoon is much better. You should give it a read if you liked the show. It's a pretty short read.

I tried to go back and read the webtoon because the series is so short (and I was really interested how things turned out), but my interest petered out early. I'll say that the webtoon story layout is less confusing, at least early on.

Starting the sentence with lol actually has a purpose(setting the tone of the sentence or the entire message), while just using cringe as an adjective by itself doesn't, and is just straight up stupid. So trying to equate the 2 is equally as stupid as using cringe by itself as an adjective.

You're succeeding at both behaving like an angsty, edgy 15yo gatekeeping Korean television series, while at the same time behaving like some out-of-touch boomer who doesn't understand modern slang...

Understanding that language is fluid and is constantly changing and evolving is part of having strong reading comprehension

Oh yeah, pointing out that a series was written by (a) hack(s) is really being edgy. Like seriously, you don't have to attack me just because you like something written by (a) hack(s).

I'd argue that using cringe as an adjective now has a purpose since it sets you off like this.

I don't understand why you people need to attack me just because I said a show you like is written very poorly. Like seriously, it's OK to like shitty stuff. I'll admit that I like the Milla Jovovich RE movies, even though those are some of the shittiest movies out there. If someone talks shit about them, I wouldn't get defensive and hurl insults at them just because they're talking shit about movies I like.

You have to remember that this is the same guy who doesnt like other people to say their opinion. He once came in a topic I made years ago, and told me that he didnt want to hear my opinion in my own topic, while still giving out his own. Then had a breakdown when everyone was trying to figure out what was wrong with him

You literally quoted a post bitching about me pointing out the stupidass writing of Squid Games. You're literally proving me right.

Except the dude didn't even have the reading comprehension to understand the concept of 2 shows, and decided to talk shit about them regardless. So if someone does something really stupid, is it really a personal attack to point out the really stupid thing they did? No, it's just pointing out the facts.

Maybe its how hes saying things. In the end, everyone reading comprehension is fine. Its what he always says in every topic. The thing is people understand what hes saying. Hes just usually wrong.

Agreed. I was trying to be constructive with my last post, but boy did I call it, eh? No self-awareness. No accountability. Just lashing out like a tantruming toddler. It's gotta be a gimmick. No one can be this oblivious

Lmao

tc are u intentionally ignoring the fact that people are calling you out on the way youre expressing your opinion, and not necessarily on the opinion itself? If you havent been able to figure that out 50 posts in then you probs need to go back to school.

And maybe just maybe reread posts from at least two people here who dont even like/havent watched squid game but still think youre behaving like a petulant child.

If everybody is telling you the same thing, then maybe, just maybe - youre in the wrong here. Or is that another concept you simply cant wrap your mind around?
