Exit Poll/Goblin/User feedback

1st – If you’re supposed to have access to Singles Inferno or 19-20 reactions and don’t see them, message me. Odds are, you missed a step in the instructions—and I can help.

2nd – This is good feedback and I wanted to respond, 'cause it applies to multiple shows.

Let’s be honest—I don’t know if I’m gonna like a show until I actually watch or react to it. If I seem uninterested early on, it’s ‘cause I’m waiting for it to peak my interest. I usually say when that moment hits.
Example: In Weightlifting Fairy, around episode 4 or 5, I said “THIS is the episode that got me!” and I was locked in after that.

We’ve also evolved along the way.
On the Kdrama schedule, I rank the dramas we finish and explain why I liked or didn’t like each one. Goblin is literally at the bottom—and that’s after finishing it. So you can see how I truly felt once the whole thing played out.

And trust—I've been WRONG before. I thought Lovely Runner looked mid before watching it. Now it’s in my top 10. That’s why I never write off a show too early anymore.

That said—I have no regrets reacting to Goblin. Yeah, it had a lot of staring and crying (which doesn’t really move me), but it was also a cinematic masterpiece with unforgettable moments.
Truth is, when I watched it, I wasn’t emotionally mature enough to connect with the male lead’s pain. SPEAKING FOR MYSELF—I wasn’t (and still ain't fully) in tune with my sensitive side. It’s like a muscle I never used that’s now getting worked.

Or maybe I’m just built different... 'cause I cried like 2-3 times for the villains in Penthouse, lmao. Different things make me sad.

And sometimes you just gotta keep watching. Shows like Mouse literally became top tier in the final moments.
That’s the thing—recording 6–8 episodes in, sometimes that’s the minimum it takes to really understand where a show is going. And as a reaction channel, unless the show is actually terrible, you keep going. Why?
Because people are watching with us. They’ve spent money or time—the most valuable thing they got—to take this ride with us. Even if it’s not our favorite, we owe them our insight, our experience, our reaction.

Think about it like this: how many times have you made someone watch a show you love—knowing it’s not their thing—just so you could share a special moment with them? And when they finally react to your favorite scene? That hit of shared joy? That’s what we’re going for.

I think that sums it up.

Now—about my snappy attitude… yeah, that’s true. I’ve been temperamental on the channel. But here’s the thing:
In the last 2 years, I quit drinking, started exercising mind and body, and I read books to better myself. I’m literally reading The Daily Stoic right now.

I’m not the same person I was—and I reflect often, like “Why was I like that?” I know the answer, but the excuses don’t matter. What matters is growth—and I’ve grown. Still growing.

I used to reply to comments in a bad headspace. That was a me problem, not a you problem. If you’ve been here for a while, you’ve seen the shift. It started as forced growth... now it’s natural.

So please—drop feedback whenever. Don’t wait for the exit polls. Sometimes it’s a quick fix, a misunderstanding, or a convo worth having.

2025 Lee is still pushing toward a better version of himself.

And I share my readings and reflections here too:

Anime fans:
You already KNOW the rule—
“Give it 3 to 6 episodes.”
Same logic applies here. Sometimes you don’t see the vision 'til you're halfway in.
