To me it's pretty normal. I started off with Jdrama almost 2 decades ago and have been watching both j and k dramas for many years and slowly going to kdramas only. It's also been more than a decade in kdramas for me and I still enjoy them a lot, but for sure every year the ones that I can actually finish is rare. Most of the high rating ones I had to drop cos I can literally predict what the characters are going to say or do next (like Hotel Del Luna to me just doesn't have that sincere) lol But there are still some great ones with real characters (but most likely not as popular hence most people missing out of them).

I am still checking out J-dramas time to time, but realized it's even true for J-dramas that overall the quality is nowhere near before (I mean, after all, it's like all the topics have been covered many times). So J-dramas to me felt a bit like how you are feeling about K-dramas right now. It's just hard when you watch it for years in a society different than its setting place.

But yes! Nodame!!! Still one of my FAV!!

Cos he just basically calls someone in the same timeline. They talked before 10:33pm and for longer than 1 min. It's a communication in the same world, same timeline, just like any normal phone calls.

I dropped it at ep3. I couldn't stand most of its logic sadly.

One example is, if there was an accident like this happened, 99.9% of time the responsibility goes to the airline. Not one single company will admit they are wrong this easily, let alone before the investigation has been concluded? It is extremely difficult to prove it is a design false vs human false from the airlines, especially before the investigation is completed.

And if anyone is suggesting there may be a scam, any PR, like annnnyyyyy PR would take that opportunity right away, instead of brushing the male lead off.

And the female lead is supposed to be a skilled agent? What kind of undercover agent reveal their guns like that, and what kind of agent would yell "Don't open it!" when they don't want someone to open the box where they hid the IDs, and what kind of agency not having a secret code for comprised phone calls... Plus isn't she is supposed to be the intern (her undercover)? Why would she even be appointed to take care of the meeting?

..... Sorry for the rambling lol Just reminded me how angry I was when I was watching the show cos I was really looking forward to it before it was released haha

I think ep 9-10 were the buffer episodes to take a breather. I thought it’s repeating at one point but the writer proved me wrong so so far I think the story is very well written and distributed

Honestly tho I don’t know how I feel about that because at the end of the day he did scam her for all of her mom’s surgery funds and she did kill him one time lol if it wasn’t for the lottery, she is literally out of money to save her mom. I kinda just want her to date someone else lol not any of the leads lol

But even that I am glad the writer wrote her character consistent tho. It would be so out of character if she suddenly spill all the truth. Her actions made complete sense given what she has been through and her love for her daughter to protect her from getting harm. So even it’s frustrating for audiences but at least the writer hold her ground lol

Hospital Playlist is like extreme slice of life drama so for some it’s certainly boring haha For me these dramas are at least good, but too many like Vagabond, Crash Landing On You etc are just.... why the hyped TT

Just finished ep11, I am so looking forward to ep12!!

I don't think they did the dududun reveal. They only did that with the wife I think. They have hinted enough it was the CEO tho

Who would think the mom is the one who planned this. She only knows the wife is having an affair and she is already "dead" in Sep, she isn't that close to male lead to be telling him his wife's affair unless it's proven the mom is part of the scam. She probably just didn't want to bad mouth a dead wife.

Jinyoung's

(But my heart seriously feel so bad for her she went through so much for him)

That’s because she’s in the past before everything happened. Naturally she is always more in danger than he is because the actions are in her time. But he is willing to go through danger too when there is one.

So far more than Train for me and I liked Train a lot

No both of them work for the main lead. One is a secretary/assistant (driver), another one is male lead's direct report. Basically the person who can handle his work when he isn't around

To me what makes a different is the execution. Some plots just wanted to create plot twists for the sake of having an "unoriginal" plot and it killed the story lol

He did care tho. Her words made him go to check up on facts around the case

Some setting is a bit similar but overall very different

Thanks! I checked and for some reason I just don't see any Korean dramas at all? And I am in the US too...

Thanks! But all the content on iq.com are Chinese shows. I don't see any Korean shows on there tho?
