1. Most K-pop idols get a bad rep whenever they'd get into stage accidents like this. Plus on top of that, Doona…
You're welcome.
As for 2., the previous commenter got it right.
The group's numbers weren't doing great already plus Doona's issues were preventing them from getting back on track. And considering how Doona is not ready yet to perform, she got unilaterally kicked out of the group.
This is a win-win business judgment as removing Doona from the group gives them a chance to rebrand. Yes, Doona might have overshadowed them and the public has the image of Doona= Dream Sweet, but rebranding gives the group an opportunity to explore other genres and concepts that fit the other members better. This would also remove Doona's shadow on them.
Being a soloist would also allow Doona to capitalize on her own market. She could also produce and write the songs that she likes.
As a k-pop fan myself, it was bittersweet watching Doona as it reminds me of Suzy x MissA, HyunA x 4 Minute, Jessica x SNSD, Jay Park x 2PM, BI x iKon, Jae x Day6, Woojin x Stray Kids, ... and the most recent one --- Rowoon x SF9 š„ŗ
I just finished it and I was so hooked that I finished it in one day! I just am very confused on two parts if…
1. Most K-pop idols get a bad rep whenever they'd get into stage accidents like this. Plus on top of that, Doona got involved with her Mom's debt issue which is considered grave scandal in South Korea (there's apparently a law before, not sure if it's still in place, that children will inherit the debts of the parents that's why most creditors would go after the famous children for payment).
To save her image, she had to be out of the radar for a while until the public cools off. This is also what the labels use and it's quite effective, honestly.
So, in a way, she didn't really quit but was asked to be quiet for an uncertain time, causing her more anxiety as she kept waiting for her Manager/crush. Good thing she found a friend in Won Jun.
NOTE TO THE NEW VISITORS: Please take caution in trusting the reviews and comments in here.
At present, negative ones have been dominating this page. Remember that most people who visit a show's MDL page, especially for a completed project, are those whose agenda is to complain.
So, take the comments with a grain of salt. You may or may not like the drama but at least give it a try. It was a very helpful and healing drama to those who loved it. I hope you'd find peace through this too.
The actress who played in Thirty Nine what a versatility! All actors and actresses are great by the way
She's a theatre actress, like almost all of the cast here š That's why the friendship behind the scenes is also great because at some point, most of them have worked together in theatre plays before.
I've been meaning to watch this but the reviews are bad in several sites, plus none of the directors and screenwriters work had impressed me so far. In this line up, only the Composer has great credentials.
I've been a fan of Jang Ki Yong since his rookie days but surprisingly Bae In Hyuk is the reason why I'm tuned in. The show's premise of an almost 1000-year-old man/fox who would fall in love with a 22-year-old female gives me an ick. Similar to that of Goblin. I didn't have this ick in Tale of the Nine Tailed though as Jo Bo Ah/FL there is already a grown woman unlike here where Hyeri still acts like someone fresh from high school.
Ikr! We literally had a T-ara member, 2 2pm members, a Miss A member, IU, Kim soohyun, and freaking JYP. You literally…
JYPark actually produced this and co-wrote the story with Park Hye Ryun (writer). It was also JYPE that produced this drama. I think the first drama that they've produced and ventured in.
Now JYP has NPIO which produced big dramas such as The Red Sleeve and King the Land.
He hasnt broken up with his gf TEN episodes in? Sure, she is trash but WHY IS HE A COWARD!! He broke up w/ her…
Sure thing.
About Sin Yu and Nayeon, it could also be that they weren't necessarily introduced by the parents, but that Nayeon "courted" Sin Yu, kept following him until he agreed to be with her. They introduced each other to their respective families and their parents saw how great it would be for their families to join each other (Mayor wanted a powerful in-law, Daddy Jang wanted Sin Yu to get married and have a child ASAP).
When his heart stopped beating after the attack from the stalker, he basically died for a moment and that broke…
Now that you've mentioned the "key to his freedom" in the teasers, I realized that this wasn't related to the curse that Aeng Cho cast at all.
This was about the self-imposed curse that Mu Jin kinda casted on himself and on his descendants (to keep the shrine safe-- where Aeng Cho's spell books are kept) until he could meet Aeng Cho again.
And finally after 300 years, he met Aeng Cho through Hong Jo, and they fell in love all over again, with her forgiving him as well for her death.
This ultimately lifted the heavy weight/prison in Mu Jin's heart that he carried for centuries.

Been waiting so long for a good period drama!
I don't think so.

So yeah
