So, it happened again! Iām turning on a new episode and as the opening credits roll I see yet another spoiler. Why??
In the show Iām watching the leading man and woman developing feelings for eachother. But the opening credits, for season 2 I assume as the opening credits have changed, show me that she will marry someone else. That is a huge spoiler.
Anyone else who have noticed this and if so, what do you think? I havenāt seen any thread about this so maybe people donāt mind spoilers⦠But I do! lol
Iāve never seen that in Kdrama but sometimes the episode thumbnails give the whole show away I once watched a drama where I wasnāt sure whether theyāll ever get together and the next episodeās thumbnail showed them kissing and Iām telling you, Viki received a lot of hate that day
I have also had spoilers in trailers for american movies and I donāt understand their thinking. Iām glad Iām not the only one who doesnāt like it.
Sometimes when you watch e.g. a trailer for a US movie or something on Netflix itās like knowing the whole movie because they put every core scene in it so I sometimes donāt watch trailers anymore when I really want to watch a movie
Yes, Chinese dramas always put some mayor events and the ending in their opening credits. Sometimes I donāt notice it when Iām watching it for the first time, but sometimes scenes in the opening catch my eye because they have something to do with the episode Iām watching. I usually tend to skip the opening if I donāt want to know the spoilers, but if the OST is great, then Iāll listen to it.
It depends on the spoiler, whether I mind it or not. If itās something Iād rather wanted to find out on my own to see if my hunches were right or not, then Iām disappointed to see it. But if itās a spoiler that will reduce my anxiety in watching in a certain scene, then I donāt mind
I once started watching a K-drama here which had an āepisode 0ā. It turned out to be a long summary of the whole show which spoiled the entire story. Since then, no episodes 0 for me anymore.
Sometimes they create a āspecialā episode, which is just a summary of the entire drama, after the drama ends. I donāt know why they call it Ep. 0, instead of calling it Special episode or summary episode or something. So yea, donāt watch Ep. 0 if you are planning on actually watching the drama.
The worse are the CHINESE dramas/movies in their intro; you actually can watch the whole episode with no need to watch the drama or movie.
I HATE their intro which are 3 minutes or more long, and you can see scenes that are a dead give away of someone dying.in that episode. I no longer watch Chinese dramas or movies I go to the intro part episode by episode, and donāt waste my time watching the whole thing but I do watch the ending episode. It tells you a lot when you can see an intro and know you didnāt miss a thing.
Yes, they do have long intros as well and I usually skip them but as I wrote earlier, I do start the drama as Iām doing things before sitting down to watch it and get a glimpse of the spoilers.
Maybe the people making these intros donāt see them as spoilers but teasers. Otherwise I donāt understand the reason for thisā¦
and I have been wanting to watch that. I may just do it anyway,
and yeah I donāt like spoilers, it takes away from the story, tells me whats going on, Iād rather watch the drama instead of someone telling me what it is going on!
This is why I always stop the episode at the point where the previews begin. Itās much more enjoyable to allow the plot to reveal itself at the proper time in the drama.
