REALLY looking forward to #KDrama #TheArtOfNegotiation but after the rancid brain-curdling mess that was #UndercoverHighSchool I'm going to take a break from Drama watching for the day and read instead. That way, "Negotiation" won't be tainted by my current raw trauma state.

I was going to give #KDrama #UndercoverHighSchool 2/10 but then I realised there was no reason to be so absurdly kind and generous after the damage it inflicted on my cognition.

So it gets 1/10 thanks to the sympathetic treatment of the villain's daughter. That makes it the 5th 1/10 Drama I've finished, out of 519. Not sure why I overrode my usual drop instinct for this, but lesson learned.

One of the things about #KDrama #Missing9 (Neurons )that REALLY induced rage was how the villain was REPEATEDLY beaten to a bloody pulp on a deserted island, and EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. He was fine the very next scene with no injuries AT ALL.

So it was a real trigger moment to see the same thing in #UndercoverHighSchool  - the villain's chief henchman gets into a prolonged fight with the hero, and LOSES. The hero bears signs of the fight, the baddie does not 

Back when I was a #KDrama neophyte, I actually used to hatewatch/ragewatch the occasional Drama FOR FUN. Now, like Murtagh, I'm too old for that merde.

Not since #Missing9 have I watched a #KDrama in which I could actually hear the dying screams of individual neurons as they gave up trying to make sense of what they were being forced to process.
It's happening again as #UndercoverHighSchool abandons any pretence of having being written by sentient beings, so it's FF to the end.

Episode 9 of #KDrama #UndercoverHighSchool confirming that apparently the NIS has exactly ONE vaguely competent agent. Pyongyang, come on down!
Wading painfully on through #KDrama #UndercoverHighSchool because my completism has kicked in and I want them to find the damn gold, I'm struck again by what a HUGE difference a credible villain makes. The villain in this #KDrama is an absolute cartoon cliché and is impossible to take seriously. This means there's no menace when she's on screen, merely tedium. The contrast with the villain S1 of #ForestOfSecrets , so VERY well played by Lee Kyung Young , is huge. A real person, a real threat
Park Se Hyun was a big part of why I started #KDrama #UndercoverHighSchool but her role in it is a big comedown from #KnightFlower I hope her next role is better and not a student because her scenes out of school uniform in this show that phase of her career doesn't have long to run
@EllenInEdmonton @joakimfors Whereas for me, the 3 episodes I endured were completely devoid of anything that amused me, except the cookoff. #KDrama #UndercoverHighSchool otoh is generating plenty of laughs - albeit of the unintentional "omg did an AI LLM write this?" sort. 😀

FFing through #KDrama #UndercoverHighSchool out of sheer boredom, it throws up one of my top 5 hated tropes: Kindergarten Kismet. 🤢 🤮

(It's 02:20 and I don't want to start a GOOD Drama when I can't do it justice)
