Anyone else think this show was weirdly cast? They are in their 40s playing 36 year olds. The nurse turns the FL down claiming he is much too old for her but they are the same age. FL’s grandfather is 7 years older than ML’s dad. ML’s grandmother was apparently a mother at age 6… it was distracting. I did love the young cast, though - both their younger selves and the current day students at the school.

He’s an American of Italian/Korean heritage. His name is Alex Landi. He was on 3 seasons of Grey’s Anatomy.

Woo Do Hwan’s smile is EVERYTHING. I love that his character smiled so often. I cried multiple times watching this show, but I smiled a lot, too. I definitely recommend it. For those who find the kidnapping trope difficult, I really have to wonder if it is mostly American Zillenials finding that problematic? Definitely some sort of cultural and probably generational bias going on there. I’m not sure you can really characterize what happens here as a kidnapping… she is carried away from her wedding, not brutally kidnapped by a stalker ex-boyfriend. As a victim of a violent crime myself, I promise you I can distinguish between a rom-com trope or a dramatic plot device and the prick who terrorized me. Chill out, people. It is entertainment. Someone give these people a Xanax or something.

Thank you for sharing. I was wondering what was going on with him. I really enjoyed his acting. I’m sad thinking we won’t see him in front of the camera any longer. Maybe in 5 or 10 years he will be able to do both without toxic fans bullying him and costars. He is SO young. It is really unfortunate he had to go through all of this. I hope he is able to find his happiness.

I think the fundamental difference is entirely fictional characters placed in a historical setting (Bridgerton - where the only character based on an actual historical figure is Queen Charlotte, entirely necessary as it takes place amongst the Ton and the backdrop of debut seasons), versus telling the story of a historical figure and the events of her life. Historical dramas fit in this category. They take place during a real time period but there are fictional rulers and politicians, etc. “Faction” is much more difficult to pull off. Where do you draw the line between fact and fiction? What is actually known/recorded history and how much do you need to fill in the blanks in the record? How you choose to fill those unknowns will always be a target for critics. It will always depend on what the writer and director want to convey through the story. And Bridgerton is 100% American. For all I know the Brits can’t stand it. Koreans should definitely feel empowered to like or dislike any portrayal of their history and liberties it may take. That said, entertainment scandal seems to be the national pastime in South Korea, so let's just go with it being the thing to get up in arms about during a week without a lot going on in the news.

So this appears to be correct and how strange they didn’t just cover it with makeup during the shoot? The idea that he wore a pain patch for YEARS during the timeline of the series distracted me a lot while watching. I kept wanting his “injury” explained. But it looks like he wears or wore this pretty regularly in every day life as well. Not sure why you’d get a tattoo in a visible place and then try to hide it daily?

But seriously, why does everyone keep saying CEO? He’s the heir to the conglomerate, but her direct manager. She’s a Team Leader so he def can’t be CEO. We are missing about 5 layers of management in there at least…

I didn’t recognize her in this photo. I liked her in Find Me In Your Memory and True Beauty. I am definitely excited to see her with Choi Hyun Wook who I think is absolutely incredible.

It was updated. Yay!

It’s because there is no airing end date out here. I submitted a change. Hopefully it will get updated soon. I can’t mark it as “completed watching” because it still thinks it has unaired episodes.

Agree. The tone reminded me of the Eighth Sense, which I also found to be beautiful to watch. It is all about the “feels”.

There was no reason for this to be 40 episodes. Could have been 30 and much better for it. I hate it when the SAME problem keeps pulling a couple apart multiple times. Unnecessary. Love the 1ML and 3ML so I just powered through the slow and repetitive parts.

From the sounds of what you are looking for, you will love this.

I have the same frustration. Watching Love in Time now and enjoying seeing him in something with better pacing and budget although in a support role. I adore him!

If you haven’t seen it, watch “Crash Landing on You.” His character in that is hilarious and his portrayal is fantastic. That’s what I first saw him in a few years ago and it’s the character I always think of whenever I see him.

Nope! I just finished the series and was able to muddle through the worst of the subs thanks to vocab I’ve picked up after hundreds (thousands?) of hours of cdramas. A lot of the time it’s like the computer gave up and it just repeats the wrong phrase 6 times. Ugly.

The AI subs are the best, 😆 it’s always male pronouns when talking about a female character so sometimes you aren’t sure who they are talking about… then there’s the whole FL given name being subbed as Tak? That one I find really distracting.

Agree. Put a huge smile on my face.

Yes, that’s it!

OMG. Thank you!!!! That’s it!!
