We'll miss you too!

Preach!

MDL changed their algorithm for ratings. Lots of really popular shows are getting lower ratings than they should be having now. A lot of people are upset -- you can see it in almost every comment section for the popular shows.

Some stellar acting in this series. I loved that there were a lot of things played for the (subtle) comedy in this series, but the portrayal of Miki was never once one of them.
NGL, I initally watched this because of Machida Keita, but I got pulled in by Shison Jun's acting too. Both of them shone here.

I just finished watching Life As A Girl (Joshi-teki Seikatsu), and I really liked it. Machida turned into yet another completely different person! I can *see* it's him, but the energy is so totally different! And I was really impressed by the guy who played Miki.

Welcome to the madness! ^^

We've seen that he can do calligraphy :)

I've watched it now, and it ws so good! And Machida was yet another completely different character. Totally different energy. He's such a good actor!

But if so, why didn't In Soo recognise Sang Yi in the restaurant scene in the end of ep 1 - start of ep 2? These episodes are too short, and the pacing isn't all that good. I feel like we're seeing too much that isn't really important and too little of what is important.

Ah, thank you, that explains it! Dramacool is pretty finicky with spelling.

You won't have to watch more than a few minutes of the first ep of AiB to see those skills manifested, though :)

Hm, I can't find anything on Dramacool with the name "Josei-teki no Seikatsu", though.

Cool, I'll check it out, thanks! (EDIT: it seems hard to find with english subs, though)
Prince of Legend is one of those shows that should have been an anime instead of live action. Everything is super cartoonish and very stylized. CM proves that it's possible to translate a manga to the screen without losing the original charm, but still making it work in the new medium. PoL doesn't, and doesn't even seem interested in trying. Also, the whole concept is for twelve year old girls.

Thank you! I tried searching the site but apparently it wanted the spelling Kaownah, so there were no hits.

I don't know who Kaowna is (pls don't kill me), but I agree with what you said. Fiat's character could a have been really interesting with better writing, better directing and better acting.

I hope you're right :)

I just watched the first episode. It looks like it's going to be really sad.

Info about the next watch parties (yes, plural, we'll go halfsies) is posted as a comment to the Watch Parties discussion post (until einepriseglitzer updates the main post).
Basically, we'll do half on Tuesday and half on Wednesday.

The algorithm of MDL is messed up. Lots of shows that are insanely popular are getting lower ratings than they should be having.

He obviously takes great pleasure in being "just the messenger", lol
