Well-said. It's a C-Drama, not K-Drama, but if anyone wants a couple where both characters have their strengths but the romance feels balanced, I highly recommend checking out Prisoner of Beauty. The leads and their story are so well-written, and each of them gets their time in the spotlight individually, but the core of the drama is about their love story.

Well-said. There were several moments where the editing just jolted me out of the story, and I had to mute the final dance sequence whenever the announcer spoke, it was so cringe. Would have loved to see this as a series!

can you spoiler tag this please

Can you please actually spoiler your comment rather than just saying "spoiler" at the top? It makes it much easier for people who want to avoid spoilers.

I wouldn't let her, personally. There's a decent amount of blood and physical violence on top of the shooting that isn't kid-appropriate.

I think the Thai industry would be well-served by realizing that high heat alone won't cut it at this point. Give me a well-executed storyline and actors with good emotional chemistry over decent sexual chemistry with wooden acting and questionable plots any day.

God SAME, isn't it amazing when characters actually sit down and talk about potential issues and problems like functioning human beings?

Thank you I'd been searching for it everywhere and couldn't find it!

I agree, for me this was a drama that grabbed me in the first episode and didn't slow down.

Great analysis but can you spoiler this please

IN HWANG DA SEUL WE TRUST

It's on viki!

The production quality so far is top-notch, and the acting and chemistry between the main leads is impressive. I was curious about this series but now that I've seen the first episode I think this might shape up to be one of my favorite series of 2022. Looking forward to the rest!

Yeah hopefully they won't go that route!

I think a lot of us are hoping to see how Jiwoo and Seojoon deal with balancing their relationship and both of their careers - since Seojoon is a relatively well-known actor, it will be interesting to see how they (and the showrunners) navigate that.

I've seen posts saying it might be a fanmeeting - either way, we'll see the boys again in March!

that scene with dan and yok was a masterpiece. just - wow.

it's available for less than $4 at vimeo, and you're supporting the creators and actors involved in the production

That's a fair point, well said.

I 100% agree with you with regards to a lot of dubbing being poor quality. I personally don't enjoy a lot of dubbing that I've seen because it either doesn't match the character, or the syncing/audio quality is bad. But comparing Chinese dialects to English dialects/accents isn't really fair, and it's actually the reason for using dubbing that makes the most sense to me out of all I've seen. Chinese dialects can be extremely diverse, using their own grammar and syntax to the point that someone who was born in Eastern China might not even understand what someone who is from Western China is saying. It's almost like they have different languages rather than dialects (i.e. Cantonese vs. Mandarin). So having everyone speak in a dialect that the entirety of the country can theoretically understand makes the drama more accessible to its audience.
