Some K-Dramas in 2024 were labelled as "controversial" for various reasons. From "Queen of Tears" to "The 8 Show", this is a list of controversial 2024 K-Dramas.
Agreed. It is a K-drama. If we let some Netizens have their way we would have nothing but boring political correct content as if that is all that dramas should be. We have documentaries for correct content. We also watch fantasy dramas all the time where humans have superpowers or there are ghosts, magic, etc. I wish untra conservative Netizens could read the room and behave accordingly.
The good note was it was great to see Soo Hyun back on the screen Now, he just needs to pick a movie that will give him that treu notariety...like It's Okay not To Be Okay with a stong female lead
I think these kdramas plot are overused , foreigners may find it good but someone who grew up by watching these scripts might find it boring , critics is need for good entertainment
The acting was so good in Queen of tears that I didn't even nitpick at the continuity of anything that everyone else is complaining about. Like it doesn't even matter. It was so well written and acted out that the smaller things everyone is nitpicking at don't matter.
@@martinalarsson1096 From what I've seen of Asian, mostly Korean fans, they tend to have the misconception that whenever celebrities act in a way that they don't approve of; it gives the fans a right to criticize or boycott the celebrity. Without respecting the privacy and humanity of said celebrity. Which I do not approve of, by the way.
@@ceciliabellwood8220Not saying everyone but I also noticed that these bloggers creat love stories with every single show that is a romance or relationship show. They are ready started with Park No Gum and Suzy. It's odd how thst works
You know after watching this channel I understood that k netizens is basically nitpicking audiences who can't differentiate personal and professional life and actors are also humans and deserves to live a life and acting is their livelihood and it does not demand them to be role models for the public cuz nobody can be a role model for anyone nobody is perfect and has many flaws so is applied to these actors
You are right it is called drama but you expect the actors to research their characters and attempt to make it as real as possible....that's why it's acting and they are judged by their peers and the public for it....the award shows. Thus no Baeksang on this show. Not saying it wasn't entertaining. It was
@@ritaowen3499 but as far as I know this whole show was carried by the actors for their acting, i agree that story wasn’t the best and even kinda cringe but their acting was on another level which completely overshadowed all faults on the story
When I see comments about Goodbye Earth and other good K-dramas (Queen of Tears, for example) I realize there are so many others much dumber than me. And I don't listen to those I'm smarter than -- they don't understand what they are talking about. They just have a mouth and a mediocre brain and know how to talk. Very little real thinking going on with these folks.
anyhting that gets "too famous" will be criticized for the silliest reasons ever, people complaining about queen of tears for taking a certain direction in the last few eps like it's never happened before, even tho there are other shows who followed similar routes and are technically worse than queen of tears in terms of writing & story telling but you'll still see the same people hating on qof defending those shows lol, at least in qof all the events were leading up to what happened in the last few eps, unlike some dramas where people lose their memories out of nowhere ...
No one is hatimg on it. They are giving their opinions of whst thry did or did not like. Every show that airs gets criticized whether the producers and actors like it or not. They are judged by their peers and public on every show. That's why there are award shows that give awrds to thise ahows or characters. It's Okay Not To Be Okay was very good. The axtors played their roles very good. Yeo Si Je did a fantastic job. She was nominated at the International Arts in New York for her role. The more awards an actor gers the more fan and they are picked by more producers to star in their show. They have their pick of what they want
Ofc Hae in would want to keep her memories and die living near hyun woo instead of living a life where she didnt know who he is. Also i do understand starbucks thing but Hae in changed her mind after seeing how Hyun woo would react to he rdeath
Seems the Netizens didn't even know the storyline of Queen of Tears. Baek Hyun Woo was desperately and deliberately trying to make Hae In want to live! He keep doing things with that purpose in mind. I can't believe those Netizens who don't even understand the story. Their criticism is pure bs.
@@AgedQuasarThey get the story. There were things that seemed a little out of wack causing the storyline not to flow like it should. It's kinda like the show Dallas. JR dies but suddenly he comes back. Hae In has brain cancer but miraculous she never has her head shaven to have the surgery. Huh?
@@AgedQuasar What I have come to realize with netizens is this, sometimes it’s not even about the drama, some did not even watch the drama, but because the lead actor/actress featured with someone other than their approved actor/actress, that is a point loss already. Like in this situation, SYJ fans (even though she was in a relationship when IONTBO was filmed) saw KJW as a threat, therefore, no matter how she acts, they will only look for what to criticize. Likewise, you have JCW (love struck in the city) and PSJ (FFMW), even SSK (liberation notes) fans saying, the chemistry between the leads in QOT isn’t as good. Forgetting this is their livelihood, having a good chemistry with their leads means they are good. Meanwhile, I am of the old school of thoughts, you don’t have to have a lot of kissing and skinship scenes to show your chemistry, even the look in your eyes should be enough to say these people are in love, body language goes a long way for me. QOT gave me this.
I do not believe what this commentator is saying about Queen of Tears. It should NOT be on this list. Its by far the best Korean show ...EVER. I was so engrossed in the show that I didn't even notice any of the things she is mentioning here.
I sometimes feel humans are allergic to success, once something or someone is successful, people starts looking for mistakes instead of celebrating that success. I actually watched this cause I saw QOT in the heading, and I would like to think so did many others. If out of 100, someone got a 70, that is still a pass.
When it comes to Queen of tears I fully agree. Brain cancer is no laughing joke and victims of this disease go through hell and look really bad. I don't bye into the "it's just a show" senseless argument. Of all the diseases out there they could have chosen something else. The last third of the series was a sad joke which is unfortunate since the 2 main leads did a great acting job. For me there's a fine line which writers should not cross and they did it in spades.
I think it’s “CLOUD CYTOMA”. I tried searching it up, but could not find anything to that effect, I will like to believe it’s the writer’s creation. Since it has never happened, we can’t say “this is how it should or should not be”.
I had cancer. I know whst it feels like. I know the emotion that goes with it. This is a tough disease. I just did not like the way Ji Won played her character with just a blank face. A little research of how patients feel and what they go through would have helped. You are right though. I feel a different disease or event would have been better
Actually, there are real people who choose death instead of losing their loved memories, or just embracing the death from multiple illness without sacrificing time indulging in surgeries and medicine instead living their fullest at given time. Am not saying which ever choices are wrong or right, but there are people in real life who choose the other side.
I agree with you. The decision this character had was tough. The surgery was not 100%. I had cancer so I can comment about the blank looks were not the right way to portrait this chatacter. I think that is where I felt confised in the story. There were a few missteps. But it was a good Hall Mark type show
I'm surprised by the fact that even though it did seem a little off with the hae-in's illness, not shaving her head(I absolutely didn't have time to think about that), and stuff I had a great experience while being an INTP doing biology as my main stream for A/L s. (that could've been bc of my anxiety though). I let out a lot of stress and tears while watching this which I'm really grateful for bc I needed that. I always used to think that I was a very overthinking person until I saw this, guys I'm good. And btw despite the smaller details Kim Ji Won's acting was marvelous and the character development, plot after plot after plot just as Ksh described was amazing. And the chemistry between the two! It brought up the topics and issues which it was based on very well, the marriage problems while living as a chaebol and family's importance. Ofc everyone can have their opinions likewise I say it's a great series to watch with your partner. And during her hardest times especially at the conference, she didn't look that pretty in my eyes, no offense.
I know a lot feel Ji Won played her role well. I agree with the Baeksang Org. She just had a blank stare almost all the time. Charbols don't do that. She had hardly any emotion for her disease. I thought maybe that was her take on the role. Then, I reviewed another show she played in. The same blank face. I was surprised
Queen of tears, honestly it has nothing special apart from the fantastic chemistry between the two protagonists, in fact I don't understand why it is so acclaimed by the public, the writer of this series wrote a much better story with "Crash Landing On You ".
@@mechita6038Which is where choice comes in, personally, I stopped watching CLOY at episode 4, I went that far because I love the lead, and the rave about it, but it wasn’t just me, that doesn’t make it not good, it’s just not my kind of jam. I wouldn’t waste my time till the last episode on something that isn’t resonating with me. I actually recommend it to people, meaning, just cause I don’t like it doesn’t mean someone else might not. I like movies / drama that raises my adrenaline, I want to know what happens in the next episode as quick as possible.
No way should Queen of Tears be on this list. I’ve had 2 rounds of life threatening cancer in the past 10 years, and I certainly didn’t lose my shit over the series’ treatment of serious illness. I recognized that it’s entertainment, not a literal life shown on camera. Also the comments of the wealthy family regarding Africa isn’t insensitive, it’s showing you the mindset and culture of this family. Is it the most PC viewpoint? No, it isn’t and neither are they.
I agree with the comments of QOT. Especially the Africa comments ,at this rate korean dramas should just leave Africa out of their mess. They are not educated about the continent so just leave us out . Surely we can not be having these kind of problems in 2024,it seems like the industry will only respect us when we start boycotting their dramas.
Sometimes people need to chill and stop being an extreme woke. These are films for us to be entertained and with characters who have opinions based on their characters. They can be bias, racist and other revolting opinions and personalities depending on what the story is trying to portray through them. So, don't take them too personal. If you don't like the film or Kdrama, then, don't watch or support it. It is exhausting sometimes to watch people become so judgmental creating more censorship than there should have when it comes to art work. Having said that, it is also the responsibility of the production of the films or KDramas to be responsible enough in regards to their freedom of expression with their art work and be mindful of the message they are imparting to their audience.
No one is woke. People are expressing their opinion on the film. They are criticized by their peers (awards) and fans. Woke is when you don't allow anyone to have an opinion
@ritaowen3499 Am I stopping anyone? It is a suggestion, not a command. And, wokeness is for people who want everything to be inclusive yet criticize and judge people who have different opinions than theirs. It has to be their way of thinking or highway, so chill. This channel begins to go in the direction of promoting judgemental mentality in its scripts and not in an uplifting manner. I used to enjoy this channel's videos because it is clear and well done. But, lately, it seems to promote and create more intrigues without basis and join in the bandwagon of damaging reputations even for alleged actions rather than uplifting people or projects. Constructive criticisms are good, but we have to be mindful of how we present them. Again, like you said, my personal opinion. If this is the kind you like, enjoy it, but I don't.
0:50 Lee Hyeri is the one who amplified the drama. I used to really like her but I'm on Han So hee's side with this one. Being discriminated for being "erratic" after the life she had really triggers me.
6:32 did people forget that dramas walk on a fine line between fiction and reality (realistic appearance). That initial denial to go through with operation makes her character realistic. What are these people watching? Bad English series that miss character development arcs?
I hope he gets things sorted in his private life, but his private life is not my business. I will check out anything he's in because he's a damn good actor.
@@handy-fy1bnagreed. I hope he does not do anything in his private life that would meas up his career with this actress. Park Seo Joon was in Concrete Utopia with Ji Won and there were dating rumors with them. The dating rumors contimued and he started getting criticized in other ways and not getting the other parts he should have. Song Joong Ki went through first the divorce rumors and then getting married to a brit. Now, people are hatimg on him. So all these bloggers are just annoyimh me because they don't realize that their lies the constant stalking and what not do and can ruin an actors career. Let's hooe Soo Hyun gets it together without any scares. I agree he is a damn good actor. Just hoping Knock Off is much better and that the rumor fallout from QIT does not take away from his new part in that show
I noticed the same thing. Ji Won didn't portrait the disease at all. Many times, she just had a blank face. One you see often in her other shows. I agree that they messed up when it came to the illness. Brain surgery and no shaved hair? Seriously!! Obviously, the viewers do not know anyone who has had a brain tumor. So she was not snubbed by the Baeksang Awards...she just didn't play the part well. Soo Hyuns acting was good and good enough to help the movies success. However, he has played better roles. I don't think he picked the right movie to win the Baeksang...they agreed. It didn't hurt his cateer but it truly did not help The remainder of the cast did a great job. The movie was what they call in the states a Hallmark movie. It was good but not award worthy.
You forgot something, she acted according to the script. Having a surgery, yes there should be a shaved site, not the entire head depending on the location, but that is still the director’s call. But portraying the disease?, people are just looking for criticism, what I was able to deduce was that she was having symptoms. As a health practitioner, I have seen patients that actually walked in by themselves, take their chemo or radiotherapy, then go home by themselves. Depending on the stage, early stages of brain cancer would be blurred vision, loss of balance, confusion, seizures, she showed these symptoms which was what led to the diagnosis. I will like to say that was probably why they picked “cloud cytoma” a disease which according to Google does not really exist, meaning it was just for the purpose of the drama. People should be lenient in their criticism, the writer is the creator of the story, she gets to decide how she wants it to be. Just like someone said earlier, if we want reality, then we should stick to documentary or non-fiction stories, then we can argue that the writer took from or added to the story, but for something that has never happened or doesn’t relate to anyone, it’s her story, she gets to decide how she wants it to be. On a side note, side effect of chemo is actually what breaks people down, because according to cancer.gov, “chemotherapy not only kills fast-growing cells, but also kills or slows the growth of healthy cells that grow and divide quickly”. Personally, I believe in miracles, but the writer did not go that route, she chose the route of “love conquers all”. She survived because of hope, which surprisingly and with evidence is actually real.
@Damsel1204 A good actor at least gathers information regarding people who have gone through cancer. She did no research of her character. That is how Western actors do makes it more real. Plus she didn't have her hair shaved as though she had surgery
@@ritaowen3499 Once again, it wasn’t cancer, it was a disease created by the writer. Cloud cytoma to be precise, if you Google it you will realize it is a product of the writer’s imagination. Now the writer has the right to decide how she wants it to be. In this situation, the focus was on the memory, I will like to believe, that she wanted to prove love doesn’t forget just like the acclaimed “notebook”. Also, on a side note, I have seen your comments on several posts related to Kim Ji Won, I have the feeling you don’t like her, forgive me, but most of your comments seem to sound vengeful, borderline dislike for her, like you are trying to point out she’s not worth the hype. We are all free to like whoever we want, even identical twins will still have different opinions. But still, we could at least be human about it, cause life is in cycles, what goes around comes around. We are free to critique, after all, they put themselves out there, but they also deserved to be treated as we would like to be treated. I would always say this, I don’t even view the pages of artistes I don’t like, for I have the feeling that my one view will add to their number of views, why should I do that to add to their popularity? Or why should I put myself in a bad mood for someone whose path I may never cross in this lifetime?
I didn't even like Kdramsa but I fell in love with Queen of Tears after trying ep 1. tbh, the first 13 episodes were so great but the last 3 were kind of rushed but still I wouldn't change my mind, and can confidently say it's one of the best show in the past years. would easily rate it 16/10 💯
My only problem is that I believe Soo Hyun is a really good actor. I worry that Ji Won, who seems to have dating rumors with every leading male actor, is using Soo Hyun to boost her career which it did by 175% and he'll end up screwing up his career. It almost happened to Park Seo Joon in Concrete Utopia. He said he got all kinds of criticizms. Just hope Soo Hyun is smart enough to move on from his part and come back down to real life
K-netizens are too bored honestly. 😑 They're criticizing Queen Of Tears for memory lose part because it's too common but on the other hand they didn't like Chicken Nugget either because it was too unique. 🤥🤥 What do these guys want? And they're talking about "realistic things"?? 🤣 LOL! Which drama or movie is 100% realistic just tell me that? 👽 In fact, fastasy/far from reality K-dramas are the most well known and popular ones. 🤦 Get a new hobby. Y'all are way too toxic. 🤮🤮🤮 Moreover, I don't think those netizens are matured audience. 🙎 Of course, Haein would want to lose her life rather than losing her memory. 😒 What a pathetic life she was leading. How bad her family dynamic was! How bad she was feeling after losing her brother (which she thought it was her fault), losing her child and living separately from Hyunwoo (her first & only love). 💔💔💔 Though she never showed it but indeed she is a human with feelings too. She was bad at expressing her feelings. That's it. God gave y'all brains. Use it. 😤😤
God! I will never be able to watch exhuma I guess. Why would you just hurt animals for the plot?!! I mean just get something that looks like an animal, no?
Qot is one of the best dramas in Korean history, yess some characters were annoying but k dramas were becoming boring and average, it ignited the hallyu wave again
Queen of tears was not even a good show. It was just a bunch of popular actors together with the most nonsensical plot but people are acting like its some masterpiece 🙄
Agree 100% The plot was awful. And everytime one criticise people think you critizise the actor. Actor =/ as character in a movie. The plot was awful and lacks a lot. Specially since a lot had high expectations bc it promoted divorce thematic. And adding the famous actors the bar was set so much higher. But it was really a down fall. So much unnecessarily stuff. They could have used the divorce thematic so much more and adresses cultural issues. Also they could have made the FL more independent. But every time they try to make a femnisim comment I get so angry. They could have depicted her so much better in it, and not make her the stereotypical tempered boss. And why do Fl have to always be married to either a eich chaebol. And when the female is rich, they have to marry someone unrealistic perfect lead. And not to mention the unnecessary plots. One of them were the villains. I get the obsessive guy but they also could have made him way more intelligent... I mean it is 2023 in the timeline she has access to the internet, where she could have seen her conference meating and how she protected her (ex)husband. Calling him in addition husband infront of everyone. But noo she didn't know that but she knew that her mom wanted to sue her.
@@strawberryrasberry6468 some of your points dont make sense: he was intelligent but he was also incredibly obsessive that was the point of his character.
@sumantanantha1294 can you eloberate about which point make no sense. I said the villain needed to be more intelligent so that the plot made a little more sense. In the context about how to manipulate her. Just taking so easily over someone from the hospital aside. But after they came back he could made a better plot as I said. There was literally a video conference online. About the husband. I said that a lot got annoyed of people saying it is such a good representation of femnisim or that people hate the female main characters bc she had fault. People criticise that it is still stereotypes female in the wrong light. While in others drama male chabol marry cute female with flaws. She needed to marry someone perfect, and he his just unrealistic perfect. The only "negative" about him is that he from a farmer background and lacks in communication. But she is the sterotypical(also used in western movies) bitchy boss but she is crazy suksessful. You can be successful as a women without having a temper.
