Goodness, it's always the romance in non romantic dramas that get me the giddiest

What's the schedule? Next wednesday would they again release the next four episodes?

+1❤️

Isn't the romance progressing faster than the usual kdramas? Not that I am complaining, I am just used the familiar beats of the romances in kdramas.
Any-which-ways, the drama is fun.

First of all thank you for saying that. You articulated it better than I could have.

As you said, MDL is a place to put one's opinion respectfully, whatever that be. It's so basic but shocking that it had to be reminded that art and taste are subjective. One cannot expect everyone to like what they do or hate what they hate. If one does that then honestly they are the issue.

Now I have only watched the first episode and while it's too early to judge, it has piqued enough of my interest to carry on. And the biggest plus aside from the Uncontrollably Fond reunion is that the series is absolutely stunning to look at

Wow, you completed it in less time than it's runtime! As impressive as that sounds, it makes your review that much less credible

What is shocking even more is that the creators saw the original and said - "yes we want recreate the same!"
The adaptation suffers from the same problem as the original.

This makes me think that perhaps prejudices at the ground level might still be the same as it was a decade ago, for the creators to not even flinch before enacting the same portrayal.

It's not about hate. These are things that should be explored when you are putting your characters out there.

The original series glossed over these things. But the kdrama can explore these. It will give both more depth to characters and more food for thought to us. Kthrillers have done this before beautifully.

Exactly. He robbed her of that very choice. Choosing to marry someone related to a criminal vs finding out one fine day that the person you married in good faith is related to someone capable of heinous things are two very different things.

Loved the option to choose the region. Since I only watch kdramas it was helpful!!

What do you wish to know?

Before kdramas drop hints, they drop red herrings .

Yes it is. I really have high hopes

Same here. I loved the French series. Plus the director had given us Black Out.

A drama with Park Hyung Sik and Seo In Guk ends up with 6.9 with most comments unanimously agreeing? I don't know how I feel about this.
I did watched the first episode which can be called mediocre at best. I want to love this drama but I know I won't. Comments here corroborates that. What a missed potential

Why is the rating still NA?

Step siblings is the word. I don't like makjangs but as you said I guess the show would go there eventually

I haven't watched many 50+ episodes long weekend dramas but the ones I did watch had multiple couples. And I do find that very charming. But this one doesn't seem like that.

Moreover it seems like it's going to be a love triangle. I could be wrong but I have a feeling that I am not.

I really wanted to watch Yoon Hyun Min after so long but watching a love triangle for 50 hours isn't my thing.

I really hope writers don't drag the triangle but resolve it early. I think I am going to wait before I decide whether to give it a try.

Thank you. Thank you all. I think I have a better understanding of what to expect now . Will give these dramas a try.

Oh? I had no I idea. Romcom, costume and fantasy 😶 neither sound like me. I actually was hoping to hook into chinese thrillers. Do they really not exist?
