Both are completely different dramas. Tw is slice of life and mmh is revenge plot. I noticed younger audience loved twinkling watermelon more as they all can relate to it

2024-04-05 09:38:25 +0000 UTC@Ren no college does not teach you how to spot abusive partners and I'm in forensic psychology right now. Can you explain why im learning separate things from other majors if college in general teaches you about that?

2024-04-04 21:20:57 +0000 UTCIt's OK To Not Be Ok was one of the first kdramas I ever saw and honestly it ruined me for others. I think its an exceptional show. I'm always looking for ones on that level. I don't get tired of rewatching it with different people because different people bring different perspectives to what they get from it. It will always be a favorite and the criteria I judge other dramas. I have found other shows that I think the writing and acting are up to that level but are often overlooked. A drama is top tier to me if can make you run the gamut of emotions during your journey in watching it--especially if the characters stick with you long after the show ended.

2024-04-04 20:00:32 +0000 UTCIt`s my Top 1 and I don`t think there`ll ever be a drama like it again. I search for people,hoping someone`d react but no such luck. Especially since so many look for more adult/mature romance in KDramas. It was in some polls and consistently lost to worse(imo) dramas. Even though I know for a fact most reactors would enjoy the hell out of it. Though I have to agree with the fashion,but then again Gong Hyo Jin and Jo In Sung can look good in basically anything.😂

2024-04-04 19:30:59 +0000 UTCBroo I hardly ever hear anyone talk about "Its okay, That's love" That show is so underrated man, the writing is amazing. It was one of the 1st kdramas I reacted to years ago, and it's still definitely in my top 5 if not top 3. I remember looking to see if anyone's reacted to it years ago, and nope🥲. The only thing I dislike about that show is the fashion choice of all the characters

2024-04-04 18:15:02 +0000 UTCAre you really looking for realism out of this plot? It's okay not to like it. Everyone doesn't have to like everything, but the reasons seem...interesting.

2024-04-04 14:41:37 +0000 UTCYea. Its fresh to me. Even i know i would get tired of it haha. So i dont mind watching others even so we do not get bored of the same lol

2024-04-04 11:42:15 +0000 UTCI feel like,remember,Lee and the gang are not that well versed in makjangs etc. so for them this might be a new territory altogether,so it`s exciting. I`ve been watching dramas since early 2000s,so for me MMH is mad boring and predictable,but I had the same exact reaction when I saw my first makjangs way back. Those were even crazier. I liked TW a lot,gave it a 7/10,but I think My Dearest was the best KDrama of 2023,personally. The acting was superior to anything that came out in 2023,even Moving. As a writer,my favorite KDrama ever is It`s Okay,That`s Love. It just hits every beat I look for in a drama and to this day I go back to it and find something new. Best romance in KDrama history,killer OST,characters that are complex,it`s not too long or too dated. It`s funny as hell,I knew the moment older characters started twerking in a messed up situation,I was gonna love it. Characters feel adult but not boring,the ending is SO satisfying and I quote it all the time😂. KDramas are so diverse,there`s something for everyone!

2024-04-04 06:51:31 +0000 UTCZero interest in MMH thanks to the boring plot while I loved TW thanks to the creative plot, cast and great comedy. Also, Ha Eun Gyeol and Ha Lee Chan were one of the best dad-son pairs in all of entertainment.

2024-04-04 05:42:58 +0000 UTC@Gloccr I think you’ve misunderstood my point, I’m not blaming FML for being a victim, my problem is with the writers for making her too naive. Its cringe. PS College does teach you that, I’m a stem major but I had to take psychology my freshman year. Also I don’t think anyone need to take a psychology course to know that if their best friend is hanging out with their bully then their best friend probably don’t have the best intentions.
Ren
2024-04-04 05:27:21 +0000 UTCNah, nobody is the same, so ofc opinions vary. Great analysis of both shows! Despite the time travel, they're both drastically different from one another.

2024-04-04 05:26:15 +0000 UTC@respect But thing is, I do feel like some of the theatrics were forced. The evil stepmother trope was over the top. I get that some mothers are damn near in love with their sons but come on really? Her son had the whole apartment upside down sitting on the couch not doing sh** and instead of telling her pig of a son to pull his weight, she take it out on the cancer patient whose also working full time while coughing up blood every couple hours. I get that the writers want to garner sympathy but holy hell, does everyone that this girl encounter have to be an over the top narcissistic villain ?
Ren
2024-04-04 05:14:55 +0000 UTCOo I feel this. Despite having the more fantastical plot and set-up, MMH never hit for me. Kinda wish it did because one of my fav actors is a lead. Different strokes for different folks, it seems.

2024-04-04 05:10:29 +0000 UTCHa. Ha no no. I didnt bully the bully…i meant i redirected focus from myself to other students. I would bully other innocent students so i was left alone.
Rock Lee
2024-04-04 04:33:35 +0000 UTC@Ren ahhh your analysis makes more sense now. it's FULL of victim blaming and referring to being overly nice as being stupid (borderline ableist considering being overly nice has nothing to do with intelligence,and is personality-related). No point in mentioning thing else you said after reading all the victim blaming, essentially claiming that being nice to people who hurt you means being hurt is your own fault. Literally wtf does being book smart enough to do your job have to do with your social life? I'm sorry, does college teach you about how to spot abusive partners? because mine just taught me about math and science

2024-04-04 04:24:08 +0000 UTCik the story may seem like shes being dumb and shes seen what happened and she should know how to be treated and her build up is oh i know the past now fix everything but its a lot more than that. this is someone whos built up a crazy amount of trauma letting people do what they want and now that she knows certain details shes slowly building herself up which happens. she doesnt instantly see the past and suddenly all her habbits are gone.
respect
2024-04-04 03:55:14 +0000 UTCi see what you mean by her seeming basically stupid but thats not the point the writers was driving. its that shes super smart yes and should be competent but she was too NICE and allowed people to be happy over herself, thats something she chose growing up and she was aware of everything but she chose to ignore it and see the best in people because she was so nice thats the point of her character development was becoming this person that didnt let people walk over her and to speak up for herself otherwise itd be boring if she didnt have the "come up" and just acted out on everything in the beginning.
respect
2024-04-04 03:53:18 +0000 UTCi dont think anything is really stupid per say or unrealistic. i just think its one of those types of shows you have to be into. revenge arc/love story etc there will be dramatic things happening its drama but honestly what i look for is if a action is forced by the writers to make something play out and in this show it felt like every character was behaving in the ways they was built up to be if that makes more sense. a lot of dramas will try to force a path from a character that doesnt suit them just to push a story line this also happens in anime too lmao i feel thats when i start to feel a bit detatched.
respect
2024-04-04 03:50:10 +0000 UTCi really dont know why ppl even compare them because i feel they are complete different types of shows and they are both written well for the characters and story lines that are going on. also recently found out btw our dear sumin is in a bully scandle atm but not sure whats going on with that
respect
2024-04-04 03:46:22 +0000 UTCImagine some guy you never met start stalking you cause “ he fell in love with you in his past life”. He spent the first half of the drama following her around. Before you say it’s cause of her future husband , he was following her around in situations that the husband wouldn’t even be around for( one example is the school reunion, dude followed her and her ex crush for no other reason then to stalk her). Also the female lead had flashbacks that showed that she was aware of her husband B.S and still let it happened, she was third wheeling on a date with her fiancé . I understand that she was lonely so I’m fine with excusing a lot from her but this is a competent woman that had a father that showed her how a man should treat her. At no point did she think to stop Sumin from further ruining her relationship or to just end the relationship . She knew she was getting cheated on long before everything went down(park flashback) and still stayed with him. She’s not a child, it’s cringy.

2024-04-04 03:30:05 +0000 UTCLmao that is actually funny bully the bully. Like be worse than them. Hahaha I wish I had this mentality when I was younger
Daisy
2024-04-04 03:16:15 +0000 UTChow was he creepy for trying to help someone not die and fix how they were treated? what are you talking about? And how is being super naive not a real thing. i prefer twinkling watermelon but this analysis was borderline on trolling
Venus
2024-04-04 03:05:25 +0000 UTCI too agree watching with others brings different emotions. I actually cry when i watch TV by myself or with with my daughter lol. I do not cry when i watch tv with my wife or my friends. My “guard” is completely down with my child and we just vibe lol. I also was bullied. Lol. Unfortunately i learned bullies usually dont bully other bullies. So i bullied others i found weaker and built relationships…with bullys. So they left me alone. Unfortunate. But that was how i survived youth

2024-04-04 02:53:59 +0000 UTCI understood that when they liked mmh, revenge evil characters morally grey characters suspense and nice female protagonist
Daisy
2024-04-04 02:53:58 +0000 UTCThey would fucking love the penthouse but its is 24 ep drama
Daisy
2024-04-04 02:52:45 +0000 UTCI’m watching Queen of Tears. I like it so far, got a little mystery but most of all people plotting for power. That being said, gonna give the second episode of marry my husband a watch. Then check the reactions. It might bring me around. After all I don’t think the show is bad (especially since I only watched the first episode) but it didn’t grab me.
Dirty_Oldman
2024-04-04 02:45:30 +0000 UTCWorld of the Married, involves a Doctor who finds out her husband is cheating, then goes on a single handed mission to make everyone involved absolutely miserable. Also a highly rated show.
J Man
2024-04-04 02:43:42 +0000 UTCI agree with your take. If you want super toxic people all trying to revenge on each other, then you'll like Penthouse or World of the Married. Penthouse is sorta like Cobra Kai (in parents passing down their beef to the next generation, but instead of karaoke, it's a buncha rich people, poor people and opera singers trying to shank each other, that and there's a good kill bill revenge plot. It's considered one of the best of all time because it is a top 3 highest cable ratings for ANY KDrama.
J Man
2024-04-04 02:42:32 +0000 UTCMMH has a very typical kdrama plot. Such dramas not recommend by the audience because it might have more episodes than required like the penthouse. Korean drama are filled with such drama love revenge plots. Since I have watched a lot i. Naturally compares it. Although it is good show nonetheless. Also as someone who was bullied by somebody like sumin, I can’t stand it when poeple support her but then again a good villian is a good villian. but it does give me satisfaction when they go down. Also watching a show alone is quite different than watching it with somebody. Watching Tw alone, i felt every single emotion, especially someone is close to my parents but had to grow up early. I guess it TW hits me harder cuz it touches the subjects i am close with. The mother being bullied but the son ends up saving her reminded me of my mom and her dark past, only if i was there to help her. I understood every single action taken by the main lead.

2024-04-04 02:38:42 +0000 UTCI liked Twinkling Watermelon a lot, and it was a great watch. But Marry My Husband was such a fun ride, it made me want to binge episodes lol. I'd pick MMH over TW, but like you said the writing quality of TW was much better. Loved your takes!
translucentmin
2024-04-04 02:38:39 +0000 UTCIt does not happen for me either aside from the girl who can not hear. Essentially the only character i “care” deeply about
Rock Lee
2024-04-04 02:36:25 +0000 UTCYeah. You don’t get that there. But i can say you will get that with Queen Of Tears. Its a better quality show than marry husband and has all the good elements with more depth and higher quality writing
Rock Lee
2024-04-04 02:35:13 +0000 UTCI clicked right away with Marry My Husband. Loved all the good characters. The actors who played awful people really killed their characters because I couldn't stand them. I've watched 6 episodes of Watermelon and I'm still not in love with this drama. I love the actors but it's not hitting for me yet...I'm waiting for that to happen. Everyone is different.
Anais
2024-04-04 02:28:58 +0000 UTCIn my opinion Marry my husband was kinda mid, if it wasn’t for you guys I wouldn’t have finished it. The characters were almost cartoonish. The Female lead was so naive it was painful to watch, the Male lead was one step away from being a creep, damn near everything he’s done has been borderline creepy. The husband had no substance, bro was evil just to be evil. Sumin was alright and the fiancé who is suppose to be a smart ruthless business woman was making stupid decisions the whole time she was on screen. 6.5/10.
Ren
2024-04-04 02:26:04 +0000 UTCIt’s why I like historical drama because people always scheming for power.
Dirty_Oldman
2024-04-04 02:19:11 +0000 UTCI tend to lean more towards plots that have more mystery or political scheming. Like if we didn’t know who killed her in the beginning.
Dirty_Oldman
2024-04-04 02:17:59 +0000 UTCI have found that I often have different choices for things that i prefer and what I think is better. A recent example I have is konosuba and re/zero because of the new season. Re/zero is, without a doubt, the better show, but I like konosuba more because it does not put me in a bad mood when I watch it. I would watch konosuba again but not re/zero. It’s just the difference between looking at something subjectively and objectively. So I definitely see where you are coming from.

2024-04-04 02:14:10 +0000 UTCWhy did you barely get through? Wasn’t hitting? I think if you don’t like ep 2. It wont be for you

2024-04-04 02:06:44 +0000 UTCThank you 🙏🏽
Rock Lee
2024-04-04 02:06:06 +0000 UTCI stopped right before yo got to spoilers. I haven’t seen either drama yet. I barely got through episode one of marry my husband. Even though I love Park Min Young. Gonna try to push through.

2024-04-04 02:03:37 +0000 UTCI can appreciate your take on this... you like what you like and ultimately that's all that matters.
