I freaking absolutely love Chae Soo-bin! She’s the best. What a voice, what a performer—that’s truly what beauty with brains looks like. I can’t get over her.
Wow, I mean wow... it’s like a dish you’ve been craving but didn’t even know its name, and then someone accidentally orders it for you. You taste it, and then the rest is history. Mr. Plankton is just like that dish I’ve been craving ever since I watched Jeon Da Yeon’s Lost. I don’t want to compare, but I truly felt the heart of it—what a brilliant, soulful piece of art. I honestly can’t put into words what I felt while watching it. I just wanted to thank its creators, the screenplay writer, and director. Huge congratulations to the entire cast and crew—they absolutely deserve a round of applause 👏 and all the appreciation. Every drama lover should not miss this, at any cost.

Thanks. Btw, the dramas I enjoy, despite some issues, gave me a good time, so I give them a good rating. Some might be slightly overrated, but the ratings are all based on genuine instinct.

"I would be grateful if you could notify me whenever you find anything interesting in C-dramas, because I don't do much research on them, so it's hard for me to find good stuff."

Thank you for recommending me; I appreciate it a lot. I have watched many K-dramas in that genre, you know and I would love to watch C-dramas in the same genre, like Unexpected Falling.

Not like that, similar in the sense of mystery thrilling with slice of romance & mature lead actors, interesting characters, not the stereotypical c-dramas.
After watching Episode 11: The drunk scene was brilliant, with classy dialogues by the writer. 👏
The dream mud-flat-man scene was hilarious. 😃
The missing-found scene was emotional and warm.👌
Lastly, when Seung Hyo said the dialogues to his mom, 'I really missed you,' how many of you were reminded of the same acting nuances of Baek Hyun Woo from Queen of Tears? I personally thought Jung Hae In was inspired by Kim Soo Hyun's performance and applied it here, which is superb as well.👍
"I f***ing love this drama. This is brilliant, how to describe, man, this is hilarious 😂. I never had that much of a laugh in a while. What did the writer eat while writing this?"
haha, and you use her photo.That headbutt thrown me out of chair, i dislike their kiss, but the headbutt is unexpected
And I think good intimate or kiss scenes are shown in What's Wrong with Secretary Kim and Suspicious Partner, which are among the few dramas where both the director and actors excel in their craft.
But from a different perspective, we can't even complain about it in K-dramas because, even in world cinema, intimate scenes are both terrible and just plain shit nowadays.

Yes, that's right. But In most K-dramas, I find the kiss scenes very awkward and lacking in real emotion. For example, when a character is portrayed as free-spirited and carefree, like your next-door girl or guy, they suddenly act completely different during intimate or kiss scenes. It's as if they lose the essence of their character, and the emotions in those moments just don't feel genuine. You know what I mean?

I know they're trying to create funny scenes, but often, I wonder why K-drama kisses are so awkward. It's like the characters, even in their 30s, kiss as if they're naive teenagers. The recipient behaves as if he doesn't know anything about it, almost childlike—even though he already has a child! 😃 The chemistry is completely missing. By the way, this is just a general perspective, not specifically about this drama. And The 2nd lead are the best thing to watch & look forward actually.
Anyone from Korea or elsewhere want to add anything?
I've previously pointed out many technical flaws in this drama, but after watching episode 10, I'm at a loss for words. It's a mix of emotions that I can't quite articulate—I'm unsure whether I'm happy with it or not. Is this drama actually good? Is it worth my time to dedicate 90 minutes to it? I just don't know. One thing is certain, though: my stomach aches and my heart feels like it's going to burst from the emotional pain I experienced while watching these scenes.
After watching Episode 9: Technically, the last 15 minutes are very good, with some laughs and good performances, well-directed & i enjoyed seung hyo's parents scene, very well included by director. However, the whole episode is melodramatic and depressing. The performances also lapse many times, and I can't feel the chemistry of love. The drama has lost its path by a long shot. The editing is very poor, and I don't understand why the first 50 minutes are unnecessarily stretched. We know what the director wants to tell us, no need for long backstories constantly reminding us, as it breaks the flow. The screenplay and dialogues are disappointing. This drama is not what was promised. I'm disappointed and 10th episode is the last hope for me otherwise, I'll have to drop it. Thank you.
To put it simply, the line between entertainment is whether it's giving you something to look forward to or not—did you enjoy your time? But in this drama, that’s not the case. The writing is very poor, and the direction feels immature. How could they introduce both lead actors' exes just to show jealousy, and both exes are trying to do the exact same thing? These scenes are nothing new and are highly repetitive. What are they trying to accomplish here?
Korean writers seem to be obsessed with this idea of first love, falling in love with someone at 5 years old, and somehow staying in love for years. As for the comedy, I'm not saying you need laugh-out-loud moments, but the characters should be placed in situations that are inherently comedic. A good example is the ongoing drama *No Gain, No Love*. The scenes don’t have to be that realistic, but the execution needs to be on point—like when the son finds out his mom's been reading fantasy novels. That's good comedic writing.
But in this drama, take the scene where she's feeding Hae In and her ex—the whole setup feels awkward. Or the moment when Hae In regrets confessing his feelings, and the scenes between them the next day—do those flow smoothly for you? This show was marketed as a rom-com, but it's far from reality. It's trying to juggle too many things and is becoming more and more melodramatic. I could write much more, but that's where I stand.
I'm writing that long and talking so much means I'm disappointed because both are my favorite actors. And I'm not saying it as a bad drama.
