I agree. Hard pass.

Nara as the "tough female lead." If I can't have Hong Ji-ah and season 2 of SYHH, this might do.

Oh! I remember. I have watched it a long time ago. In fact, I think I still have it on DVD. That was one crazy movie. LOL.

I know. She's very famous. That's why I thought it was a k-drama. Also interesting to see how she does in a rom-com. Her other dramas are very serious.

Thank you for pointing that out. I hope the Koreans produce their version as well. Interesting to compare the humor.

The French movie on which it's based is absolutely hilarious. I'm excited to see how it translates into a K-drama.

I'd like to commend the music director for providing an appropriate instrumental score and no songs, which allowed the entire cast of actors to ACT. The idea that brilliant actors need songs to convey what their characters are feeling is ridiculous, insulting, and annoying.

He cheated with a woman who was as close to his wife as a sister. And he didn't look that drunk.

Currently watching this show and if you get that it's a satire on k-drama production and the people involved, it's really hilarious. Interesting to me (at least) that in both this show and Be Melodramatic, the female writer is totally neurotic.

If you view the FL as having a severe mental illness, which she's desperate to hide, it isn't a makjang; it's her life.

This drama and Sell Your Haunted House seem to be the sort of socially conscious projects that we can expect from Jang Nara from now on. She has my deepest respect for taking on projects that aren't the romantic comedies that made her a k-drama star, but which are meaningful to her and that might help others who are victims of prejudice, inequality, and institutional corruption. In addition, her acting is off the charts!

Me, too.

Will definitely watch this drama.

Definitely a 10. It's perfect in every way.

Congrats on an informative, well-written article. I think you may have read my mind.

All I can say is that there'd BETTER BE ANOTHER SEASON, because the 1st ends with a cliffhanger to end all cliff hangers. Great writing, btw. I binge-watched and was enthralled from start to finish.

Perfect!

Jang Nara's My Happy Ending takes on the Korean tabu of talking about one's mental health issues--and even when famous celebrities in the k-entertainment world commit suicide because they've had to remain silent, viewers of this drama, who live in other countries, just don't get it.

LOL. He should've indicated that he was describing what happens in the novel.
