I think a lot of people prefer fast pace entertainment nowadays. As you've said, they don't want to think. I realized that with a current kdrama I am currently watching called The King: Eternal Monarch. It's pretty slow pace and you have to watch carefully to gather clues of what is going on and lots of people felt confused and not sure what to make of it. Not as many viewers as some of the more popular current kdramas but I am enjoying it a lot. Your story will draw who it wants to draw and for every fan, there will always be haters. It's like Rosa Rosa's popularity. She will have haters as much as she will have people who admire her.
