Not me. It's why I couldn't get into KDramas because of sexism. The last one I watched half of was an older one called "My Lovely Samsoon"/"My Name is Kim Samsoon" and I was already about to throw my TV screen (this was when Asian channels aired something good around 2006/07). The guy (her boss) is a literal dick and I feel bad for the Samsoon character, but the show treats her like literal garbage... *sighs* I wish there were better KDramas out there that were made in the 2010s that show how awesome female characters can be at times and finally stand up to their jerky guys...

I softly disagree only because the makers are constrained by the sandbox they're in. And if they blow up the sandbox, is it really the same IP or is it something actually new that they just pasted on the same name?

[(Anonymous)]

I'd rather have the epicness and magical mysticism of a Tolkien knock off, personally speaking. Where my elves at?

[(Anonymous)]

I've always been under the impression a lot of the criticism is more squarely aimed at the show than the book series. I also feel like there is a lot of room to give GRRM the chance to improve on/respond to the criticisms his series have received since ASOIAF isn't complete yet.

[(Anonymous)]

I hate it when they badge-engineer a franchise. Either commit to the franchise, or start your own IP right from the off. Just don't take an IP and then sub in an unrelated script or characters with the same names. That is a 00s trend I won't be missing.

[erinptah]

Someone who's reeeeally insecure that there might be anything in the world they don't already know.

On the bright side, at least they blew up the conversation right away, so you didn't have a chance to get emotionally invested in them as a fandom friend and *then* have them start making fun of you over innocuous things.

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't thought of Twister in a long time. Her character did get a very unsatisfying exit from the movie. Even if they were committed to not having her in a relationship with Paxton by the end, she really did nothing narratively wrong to deserve being left out in the cold like that. Writers, learn how to balance your character relationships please.

[pantswarrior]

...I'm not sure I understand the part about the relationship tag (is the fully quoted part a tag people use or something?), but "whatever the hell those two have going on" is definitely a good description of a lot of my top pairings in canon and thus how I like to see them represented in fandom, hahah.

[(Anonymous)]

It is never going to be complete. The very last thing that happens in the universe, just before the last sub atomic particle decays and eternal night kicks in, will be a press release saying that GRRM is working hard on the next book which will come out any day now. That is my criticism with the series.

[(Anonymous)]

If you want to try again, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by what you can find now. There's definitely a reason Kdramas have exploded in popularity recently.

A lot of the Netflix branded kdramas should be fine. Depending on what you like, I would recommend trying Squid Games, Uncanny Counters, or Kingdom. Itawon Cafe also has a bunch of interesting, complicated female characters as leads. But if you want to watch a show where the lead female character puts her male boss in his place a bunch try 'Strong Girl Bong Soon'

That sucks. What a terrible way to live when you're shown something to be excited about and instead you take offense that someone else discovered it first.
