Being on States side, I’m unfamiliar with the educational system of South Korea. However, I’ve seen several shows with an intense focus—not for just the values of education—but to be the best, number one: “Sky Castle” and “Crash Course in Romance” are two. In those shows, the feverish maneuvering of parents, and the verbal and physical abuse to kids, created suicidal situations and even the firing of teachers. Re: The Teachers Union, I understand their complaints with the scene in “Hagwon.” Sure, clarify a question—if there’s confusion or errors, but Hye-Jin was way out of bounds, I thought. And of course, the male instructor should have been suspended, if not fired for touching her! Around the world, it does send the wrong message, but often times, it appears to be amongst private academies. I didn’t like that scene, but I’m hoping they hook it up later, into something positive. I’m happy that Wi Ha Joon has this romantic lead. Love his acting, and Ahn Pan-Seok’s directing! He seems to work well with a certain group of actors. Looking forward to the other episodes.
Wu Lei plays a much more lively/natural/youthful role in "Nothing But You". He's a 22 year-old in that one. In…
Needing to be rescued from LLTG, I went to “Up Sum,” and liked it! I remain in awe of this young man’s acting abilities. He isolates and develops each character. A joy to watch!

Thanks, Divine, I’m seeing that difference already, 3 episodes into “Nothing But You.” Characters are completely different—the mark of a great actor! I’m impressed by the FL, who presents as a full, adult woman, and none of this squeaky, whiny, cutesy crap—drives me crazy! Looks like I'm in for a treat! Be well!
I just discovered this young actor in “Amidst A Snowstorm of Love.” Had it on my Watchlist, but not always happy with Cdramas: Amateurish Acting, Unromantic-romance, and copious episodes. The reviews on MDL, enticed me to watch (AASOL). A wise choice! Leo was fabulous, as are the other main and supporting casts. His non-verbals were remarkable. I found him very mature, but shocked by his youthful age. However, I saw where he’s been acting since birth almost, and has a large body of work. I’m starting “Nothing But You” tonight. Hope I won’t be disappointed.
I'm in the last 5 episodes and I just wanted to say how much I loved this. I'm appreciating how much Cdramas are…
Agree with you! I just finished “Amidst A Snowstorm of Love” this morning, and noticed a vast improvement in the storyline, picture quality, and acting—especially in the female characters. More maturity! The romantic scenes in Cdramas need a little spice. When the FL said her cycle was late, my neck almost spun around: “WHEN?” “HOW?” She spent a lot of time shying away. I don’t want porn, but passion, at least! Still I loved the show!
lol literally let's not forget this is not Hollywood. 800M per episode is obviously not a realistic value even…
One’s value is what another is willing to pay. If his WORK attracts viewers, his worth increases. In that business, there’s always a newcomer snipping at your heels, so you make the big bucks while you can. What I like, is his willingness to lower his fees, as appropriately needed.
I just feel he feels insecure abt his own feelings towards tsumugi. I mean with all that reason he's saying why…
I felt the same, Maria; that he was letting her go faster, especially after that smiling, tender dialogue on memories of Sakura. Minato saw what was heading his way.
You’re right! It is my go-to romance drama! Brilliantly done! Have watched greater than 10 times. Since discovering…
Thanks, GW! Have watched both: “OSN” about 10 times, as well, the last was 6 weeks ago. Although, a different director. Started “Secret Love,” again on yesterday. Just discovered it several months ago. LOVE THEM BOTH! Always enjoy great recommendations!💛
When it comes to ageism, in playing the character’s younger self, the production company cares about one thing: Budget! They expect them to pull it off, that’s why it’s called “acting,” vs “Believe it or not.”
I’m busy.😂. THX
