it's a society analysis. granted it's very heavy on the psychological aspect. So if that's not your type of thing....yeah I see how you can find it a bit difficult.

brilliant drama!
Super interesting with a great story about how the world of brand and upper class society and scams are connected. It is not a drama for everyone and probably also not something for a younger audience though. You really need to be political and psychological interested. This is a society analysis of sorts. So be aware.
10/10 for me

thats a very interesting list. I wouldn't have put most of them on the valentine's recommendation list but they are all good movies so I 2nd this recommendation. Just maybe.....not all are romantic valentine's movies/dramas or have much romance in them to begin with.

glad for him but man....I just want to see Signal season 2.

he is fine in the series.

it is good but it is more slow. So this is not a fast phased action series. The topic is wine and wine tasting. So depending on how much you enjoy that topic you will like the series or not.

what do you mean Signal season 2 doesn't get released. When did we go from "postponed" and "unsure" to "not released" as in general.

It was good. Though there were multiple storylines and I do think they could have been done a little bit better especially with trying to make the viewer understand which storyline is now taking place and which in the past. But overall it was good
7,5/10

hmmmm but according to the latest gender equality indices, Korea's gender equality index is dropping, meaning stereotypes are increasing again and not decreasing. So I'm not sure if things have truly changed

So the last 2 episodes were definitely my favourite. Lee Je Hoon was perfection, again. And he has been since Signal.
In regards to the series itself......You can see the shift between s1 to s2 and now to s3. I really miss the atmosphere from s1. S3 was just not there for me. I do think you can see the absolute amazing acting of all the characters and how much they have grown throughout the series and also how the story managed to take real life important situations and adapt them into the series but.....ahhhh it just wasn't there. I missed the personal depth of each character. Basically what we saw in s1. So thus, for me it was a 7,5/10.
Still a great show.

yeah the shift has occurred for a long time. So this is just the nail on the head.

I don't think it will bunk to be fair.
I actually think it will flourish for a variety of reasons, namely rules and money. It is cheaper to produce, the viewership is there with the current hype for Korean media, specific set of rules that apply in the US in regards to AI don't apply, and then don't forget the power TV has in regards to public opinion. You can emphasise a shared cooperation on all fronts. So, with these many benefits in hindsight, it will profit quite a bit and extend to other asian countries and Networks.
What we are witnessing now is just the beginning XD

52 hr work week? That is considered already breaking the law in some countries XD

lol interesting title XD
Are the sequels gonna be called TECHINT and GEOINT?

The best of this drama was J. The acting was superb, the character was superb. Just all really well done. And even his team was fascinating, even when we didnt really get to know them at all.
Even the case was okey (although there were some minute points). There were some absolutely amazing moments, like conclusion? awesome! The twist? Really good too.

So why.....when there are so many interesting characters do we have to focus on the least interesting of all ? The female lead......she got to my nerves. I really do wish her storyline and character would have been better.


7/10

if you want to do clinical trials for cancer medication then you do have a larger Sortiment of volunteers since it will be the last hope to slow down the spread. Problem is more that you have people that want to take part in the trial but that wont make good candidates.
And it is not the institution that is giving the group. It is the treating doctors that are part of this study or know of this study. Thus, you will often find this being conducted at university hospitals. Those are doing a majority of studies.
Where institutions, Pharma companies and private people come in is the funding aspect. These things cost immense money. But this is all decided before the start. And here you do see a fun situation where some studies get the green light and others not. XD
So yeah not much changed.

I mean its not like this hasn't happened before in real life. Science and Morality is not always comparable.

he gets enough screen time after the first few episodes.
His character is the one thats connecting all-----sort of----- so he plays an essential part.

was it impossible? I do not think so. And weird is a synonym for awesome so thank you for agreeing.
either way you see it different and that is your right. Just as it is my right to feel disappointed.
There are methods of handling this. It was not done. And therefore again they clearly do not care.

yeah but this season its happening quite often. And it seems like it really never bothers him at all..... XD I dont know im sort of confused as heck comparing this season to s1.

postponing a drama that they have been dangling in front of our noses for 10 years again is not fair.
No matter what happened.
There are a bazillion ways of finding solutions that would honour fans but nada.
And it is something the screenwriter is at fault too. For 10 years she promised writing s2 year after year, and finally she did and voila here we are.
So therefore, clearly they do not care for the fans or the viewers. If they had, they would have found a solution that would not have meant postponing it.
As someone who has been waiting for this for 10 years, who's been reading all interviews, I feel very disappointed by the production team, the network and the screenwriter.
Thus, my comment ;)
