I had to drop it due to loathing them both - there seems to be a genre of drama that revolves around pissing yourself off to the N'th degree due to your inability to crawl through the screen and slap the living shit out of most of the characters. My poor wee heart just can't take the stress so I tend to avoid such shows.

Starts well...
Binged first 3.5 episodes then had to sleep and work and stuff.
Then was like totally unengaged - binge it all at once would be my recommendation

Thank you there are still quite a few people like oppa_ who actually review shows on MDL rather than merely display their tribal allegiances thank goodness.
The frothing twists people go through to try and discredit them is often a source of entertainment and occasional frustration to me.

Reading the comments on this review is far funnier and more original than the show turned out to be.
Winner!

When she turned up in a short top showing her midriff I was like WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT??

Every scene I see Na In Woo in I think Colin Firth?? Nah!

Me neither I'm on ep.4 and the chemistry is all in the script not the actors.
I am finding her cheeks and his Adam's apple quite fascinating though.

"suck a lizard person" now doesn't that conjure up a frightening image, appropriate though.

Nice review - thanks for taking the time

I'm curious with the review and the scores why only a 4?

You got further than I did..

Great review - you have more staying power than I do episode 8 and I'm losing interest. I was really hoping for a Durian's Affair type drama done well; you know with humour and appealing characters and like, things happening occasionally to do with the leads not some weird grandma.
But they dropped any exploration of two women dropped into a new world with a totally different culture like a hot brick and went for let's just do the normal Chaebol business succession drama.
The elf goddess whatevs didn't do it for me either - I might just leave it until next year and start again.

I'm a middle aged chap who only fairly recently ended up valued at a job I enjoy by people I like and respect. Twenty years or so of crappy office politics and crappy jobs for people with little pride in what they do to get here.
I think sometimes things can just be a little too close to home to watch for entertainment and that was my main sticking point with this.
In the end it's also why I ended up enjoying it so much and rewatching it so often

I picked it up and dropped it in the first episode a couple of times - too slow, too miserable. One day I started it from scratch and it just blew me away. One of my top 10 rewatchables.

Or maybe wheresoever we want to post them?

Let's be happy friend, it's nothing...

I rewatched more old dramas than I finished new ones in 2023.

Not my favourite year either just very bland stories - all the ingredients but not in the correct quantities and not baked long enough. Yeah Moving lost me with the violence for one. the terrestrial TV stuff is still toned down violence isn't it?

1.How many 2023-release dramas did you watch? Watched all of? 6 Started and didn't finish (yet?) 39
What country did you watch the most in 2023? South Korea
What genre(s) do you usually watch? Romantic Comedy but I'll pretty much watch anything (except vampires and serial killers)
What is your top drama listed in this article? I only have 2 listed here The Glory pt.2 and Love to Hate You
What is your top drama NOT listed in this article? The Kidnapping Day I gave it a generous 8.0
How was your drama journey in 2023? Rubbish! I started so many but just couldn't finish them. Most of them because I got bored of them - not annoyed by them not disgusted just bored.
What is your wish or plan in dramaland in 2024? My wish is for better stories to hang the cliches on. Some good Chinese and Japanese dramas would be nice - I didn't finish any in 2023.

Happy New Year!
