Why do people ruin a drama for others by revealing the ending?

read the synopsis....NOT the comments.


Yeah, in one jdrama, the synopsis recall the 2 last ep, that's crazy ...

From one of the comments in Gooddrama , they ruined the end for me , and now i can't watch these two dramas
although i badly want to watch it :(


That happened to me with both as well lol! I wasn't too keen on 'Bad Guy' though, but I really wanted to watch 'East of Eden', I may still watch it, but I already know what happens in the end (as do you) due to those comments on gooddrama :(

Noooo. The ending is nothing like people describe it. PLease watch the drama.
Yes, it's not the ending that one would imagine but it definitely has logic behind it.
Either way, the drama itself is completely wonderful. I loved it so much.

I tend to stay away from comment sections until I finish the drama; then I can look back at what people have to say. I've had several dramas spoiled because of comments. I do however, continue watching the dramas. Also, I recommend you finish Gu Family Book. I think you'll be surprised by how much you will enjoy it even though you read some things that may have spoiled it a bit. I think you should be able to make your own judgement on the drama instead of letting someone else ruin the experience for you.

There are also some Dramas tha were spoiled for me, but I also think that it´s not really a reason to stop watching or to don´t watch a Drama. Of course it´s annoying but if you really want to watch the Drama, go ahead although it was spoiled for you! About the comments there are sites like gooddrama.net where the People spoil, on MDL there isthat Spoiler button. I almost always read some comments about the Drama that I want to watch, if I read on gooddrama.nt or a site like that, then I just have to be careful, if it´s MDL then I avoid the Spoiler, coz there is this button to tell ATTENTION, SPOILER! For me IRIS, Playful Kiss, Hana Kimi, Personal Taste, Coffee Prince and Secret Garden were spoiled, bt I watched them anyway coz they are great Dramas!

I think people who spoil the end for others are selfish; maybe they don't mean it sometimes because of the excitement and so but a spoiler tag can be quite helpful. Being Spoiled about Bad Guy gave me a bad feeling while watching the drama and being spoiled about Chuno destroyed the chance to entirely enjoy that drama if I ever got around it someday.

Memes and comments in the Feeds ruined Gaksital. Still one of my favorite drama but a little suspens would have been nice...
But that's the risk when you watch a major drama like 2 years after it was released so I'm to blame too. What I really don't like is when an episode review title is so explicit that it tells you everything about the episode. And since it also appears in the feeds...


For example :


I'm scrolling the feeds (was that proper english ? I don't know...) when suddenly a pics of my favorite and currently airing drama catch my eyes : it's an episode review. You can only read the Title :

"OMG Can't believe that [character's name] is dead !"

And that's how it's done . Now my episode is ruined. I don't even want to watch it anymore...

Seriously everyone : you can say whaterver you like in your episode reviews (because it's supposed to be red AFTER you see the episode, I think) but please, PLEASE be carefull with your titles !!!

Wasn't so much someone spoiling something for me, but when i was watching Iris i decided to add it to my list and in the synopsis of Iris 2 (I didnt click on the full one but in like the preview bit next to the image you get when searching for dramas) it was like "Continuing a certain amount of time after this persons death" so from the get go i knew who died from season 1 but I still enjoyed it none the less.

I love reading comments when I finish an episode, because I like to compare my own opinions and thoughts with other people. Unfortunately there are people who spoil it. What is the point in revealing the ending in a comment on episode 1?? I don't know.. I guess part of it is people who just don't realize they spoil it and part of it is people who just like the spoil. Isn't it great to pester people...? Anyway, I'm careful when I read comments. I start with the newest comments, because a lot of time they tell if somewhere down the thread people are spoiling. I also read the first words very slowly, so I'm sure what the posts will be about. Overall I prevented getting series spoiled most of the times (when I read back after I watched everything I do see the spoilers, so they were really there :P).

Interesting. Didn't realize titles could be spoilers. Can you make a thread here: http://mydramalist.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?25-MDL-Help-amp-Feedback-Center explaining that issue. That way we will remember to fix it.
