Yeap, I had the same problem. I actually remember I was talking once with one of mu friends regarding series and as I was thinking about it, I realized I had finished very few, just because I usually couldn't watch all of their seasons.
Yes. If they get the desirable numbers they can even keep a series 20 years and literally make anything they come up with happen.

I actually don't get the the parts splitting thing not even from a financial pov. Like what is even the point? 🤔

Yeap, it is awful 😂

Even though Netflix has made some good dramas, there are multiple reasons why people have a problem with it:

1. Many of their series have more than one season (so something having only 8 or 6 eps doesn't necessarily mean it will finish after those episodes end).
2. (In additio to 1.) They also tend to make more seasons/parts even though they are basically unnecessary when they see that something sells (Squid Game is probably the greatest example).
3. They can easily cancel a show that needed to have another season (again they don't invest money to make full seasons if they know it may not go well). Obviously that can be very frustrating for someone that may wanted to watch the end of a series.
4. Again seasons related, they kind of "break" the tradition of Kdramas by making multiple seasons or parts and worst of all you can't know when or if they are going to get released (some get released after a few years like Sweet Home some we don't know like Kingdom...)
5. Most netflix productions seem to focus more on the production quality and not on anything else (plot, characters). Plus they tend to change by a lot the plot, characters and general atmosphere when it comes to webtoon adaptations. At least that's what I have noticed in the ones I gave a try to (Sweet home, the sound of magic, black knight)
6. I personally don't agree with this, but another reason people mention is that they "add" things that were basically non existent in Kdramas, like explicit/violent scenes (that basically happens due to the lack of censorship).

Of course there is also the hype that netflix productions get and the excitement of the viewers that many times end up disappointed because they expected something better. After 6 or 7 times of that happening, people just started having lower expectations of Netflix.

Generally I think the main problem is that they kind of focus more on the visual aspect, gaining money and quantity (not quality). I get it, they are a business first and foremost, but as a viewer I don't like the multiple (unnecessary) seasons/parts they make (that probably is financially better since the Kdrama industry has adopted it), the "pay attention to production quality and nothing else",or the "wait a year or 2 to watch the next 6 eps.

Sorry that was long 😅

Could be. I don't think they confirmed the no of the eps somewhere, unless it was a circulating rumor or something that was announced before the editing/filming finished. Has happened again in the past with another series that no one knew when it was going to end and they just kept uploading eps 😂
We will see. I suppose we will learn soon. Tbh I hope they are not that many.

It is a pity for YAI. He is a great actor and he is close to losing his career for doing something that would have 0 consequences in another country.
As for the netizens, I feel they just want to talk badly about someone no matter the cause.

It is a netflix production, so I would keep my expectations low lol

I just noticed it! Wow that is pretty long. I have no idea if they have announced anything regarding the eps, but since someone has written 18, then it is probably confirmed.

This looks great! Plus the director/screenwriter made Those that Follow and Shutter so I am having some expectations.

*Answers two months later*
As long as we actually watch it it's fine. It seems like things with YAI are pretty bad, so I hope we actually watch the movie soon enough and the whole ''scandal'' stops escalating.

REALLY? FINALLY! It's been so long...

At least chemistry can't get outdated 😀 (what I tell to myself to feel better)

Yes. I think they are not doing it because they will probably not get as much money comparing to if they released it in China.
At this point though, that would be 100% better than never watch this.

I don't see the problem for the actors. They don't just blindly choose a project. They know how many eps it will be and how much they will get paid. I don't really see a loss from their side. Maybe for the viewers side, if someone likes an actor and only gets to see them in one project. But most of the times they have more than one project a year and imo it better be a good 8 episode drama than a draggy 16 episode drama.

I think we don't know yet.

Thanks for the info.
That is interesting. I hope it is as good as it looks.

The only logical explanation I can think of is that they are promoting the trailer

I don't think so, unless you are a relatively new account.

I love your "very very very gay comment"

Hello!
First of all please cover this since the "she" is pretty obvious.

Now, from my pov it could be two things.

First one (and more possible) is that she was in the same position as the main lead and she got manipulated by the murderer but to a point that she got murderous tendencies herself.

Second one is that she always had murderous tendencies and when she reveived letters from the killer and spoke to him, she got even deeper in the pit.
