Not a single moment. Flawless human being. Irrational Counters United. Let's condone all that physical violence while we're at it. :D

Why 16 episodes. I don't actually get the logic. A show should be as long as it needs to be. Actually, a massive problem with K dramas is defining episode counts too rigidly and then forcing the writing within that timeframe. Just tell the story as it needs to be told. Breaking Bad would have been trash were it 16 episodes. Instead, it's a legendary all-time drama which many consider to be one of the best in history. Indeed, why should Band of Brothers be any longer than its 10-episode runtime?

Any place to watch?

Not much.

Oof. Strong Woman is an absolute mess, but Joy of Life just gets better and better and the whole mythology of WHY there are modern thoughts in "medieval" times is very satisfactorily presented.

Yeh she was already an S grade nipple but episode 6 turned her into an irreversibly rekt face of features. But hey on the plus side I guess the only way is up for her character now?

Episode 6 probably the best so far, but it paints the FL in an even worse light... incredible amount of flaws written into her character. It' s like the writers are trying to manufacture a pure character assassination. It's working.

Someone should kick her upside the head. She seems to think it's OK to constantly use violence and force so she should get a taste of her own medicine.

Alright fair enough but you've also given Alchemy of Souls 10/10 LOOOOL!!!!

OK, to each our own.

I liked her in Mad For Each Other.

It's fair to say at this point that many simply don't like the FL character, whether that's the writing, the characterisation, maybe for some the acting... I dunno. But many do not like her.

I have no interest in a season 2 for Seung Soo. I do though for the continuation of Dream's journey.

I kinda enjoyed it but found the ML infuriatingly arrogant, condescending, and carrying God plot armour. It deals with his work as a general manager in preparing and improving a baseball team in the offseason, going through all sorts of trials with upper management, contracts, trades, team chemistry etc. The process is well written, well drawn out, if slightly trite for someone who already actually gets sport in general and specifically baseball.

In short, I can recommend it if you wanna see the processes of a failing team looking to improve under new management.

well doesn't nearly 8 out of 10 mean it's really good? Pretty sure that's what an 8 out of 10 means in most media and ratings. 8 out of ten is a very high score, which is more or less what it's at, at 7.8.

The FL is a pain but in a way which makes the show more fun, I reckon. I think the way the directing has encouraged her to play her part is a bit hammy, as with the rest of the cast. It's a stylistic decision but it doesn't always jive with me. Anyway, this is a pretty good show so far. Even teared up in ep 4 - ML starting to become increasingly human.

How on Earth is she 45? In The Uncanny Counter (where I guess it was shot when she was 42-43) she looks barely older than 30!

It's not the real score. Check the score by demographic graphs. I noticed this too with Alchemy of Souls. After 2 days it randomly dropped from 8.5ish to low 7s... like some bug in the algorithms or something, I dunno. Then a day or two later, it self-corrected again and jumped straight back up to where it was. This seems to be happening in the early stages of a drama airing after the first 1-2 days of votes.

Can't thank you enough for this.

Come on guys. Korea have made themselves a star player of pop culture on a global scale precisely because they are masters of copying. Just listen to their music and soundtracks. China are also bad for adopting huge amounts of Western tradition in their music but I still hear lots of originality and traditional Chinese art in their dramas, but Korea? LOL. Yeh it's quite rare. So if Korea can be masters of wholesale adoption of Western musical technique and feel, albeit adapted for their own cultural physiognomy and vagaries, then you can be sure they'll be able to proudly exhibit many other obvious "non Korean" influences in many other aspects. So why are we suddenly crying now this isn't exactly a secret strategy.

Not just glorious but credible given their existing family history.
