- the story line is too slown and boring.
- the chemistry between the leads is not that good.
- his fans were excited because LMH return, but that doesnt automatically make it a good drama.
- currently (2020): 7% rating for an expensive drama on free-to-air TV means a flop.
well, but They still can to save their kdrama, How?:
+ the leads need improve their chemistry. and acting skills too.
+ the writers need to make a better script and plot, pls, more action!
+ PD needs add several famous idols or an ultra famous kpop idol to the cast for to save the Kdrama.
Remember in real time 'Hwarang' and 'Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo'. both kdramas were criticized a lot, specially their female lead actresses because of their bad acting skills. Those 2 dramas were so bad kdramas in real time specially Hwarang but were saved by the powerful fandoms of famous idols.
• Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo was saved by Baekhyun's fandom, his fandom support this bad kdrama that even turned that bad drama to good drama, it took a 180 degree turn. If you'll watch this kdrama you will notice that the drama tried to improve but it is not that good yet, its just decent, and IU's acting skills was still bad. Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo became an OVERRATED kdrama.
• Hwarang was saved by Taehyung's fandom,and Minho fandom. Hwarang is one of the WORST KDRAMAS of all times, the plot is really bad, and its leading actress did not improve her acting skill, most of the cast needed to take acting classes. Currently this drama gains a lot of popularity and acceptance thanks to Armys, that's all.
We see that the powerful fandoms of famous kpop idols can to save bad kdramas, their fans go into all the articles and begin to write that "it" is a good drama and bla bla bla ~ despite the fact that many experts describe all those as bad dramas with bad/lack acting.
