I have actors in a personal blacklist whose dramas I will never watch because they are so bad at acting. I don't like Till the End of the Moon, couldn't tolerate Love Between Fairy and Devil and thought Hidden Love was boring. The Untamed's popularity is perplexing to me.
But why get upset over this? The world is vast & our tastes are diverse. Me not liking your fav show does not discredit or devalue your love for it.
Fandom parasocial behavior is weird.

@Sollenbum thank you for respecting my opinion! I respect yours a lot too and look forward to your recs 😄 Yeah, we have different tastes due to different personalities etc, so people really shouldn't take it personally if someone says they don't like their fav show. It is just a curious phenomenon to watch, especially since I am a mod of large Reddit and have to break up fights all the time over actors 😄

@liztai Totally agree, it is interesting to meet people with different takes on dramas. I like the three dramas that you mention, but I have immense respect for your opinion even though we don't always enjoy the same dramas. Different people look for different things in dramas so it is not strange that we disagree on preferences. It is a mystery to me why some people get worked up when others don't like the same things as they do...

@liztai Wow, you are brave to wade into such battles 😄 I find such behaviour quite narrow-minded but simply shrug my shoulders and move on. Such behaviour is irrational so seldom responsive to logical argumentation.

@Sollenbum I am a mod so I have to 😂 But I usually just delete comments, but I do get blowback and nasty messages from the trolls when I do this. I have one troll currently sending me mails accusing me for being racist. I am like, if the primary mod wants to remove me as a mod for this stupid accusation, so be it. I find modding pretty thankless tho some nice users do take time to say nice things when I try to improve things. TIP: Don't be a mod😂

@liztai That sounds like a quite tricky job. I will definitely follow your advice and not venture into those shark-infested waters. Glad that someone is willing to take the flak, though. It makes such spaces safer for the users.
