Probably because of being slow paced and generally not having a big audience. It is not for everyone, but if you are into the genre, it definitely deserves a chance.

I personally like it.
Have in mind that is very slow paced though. That aside, it has great acting and atmosphere and the plot is interesting if you are into mysteries (also has book vibes).

I doubt it. It is based on a book, so I don't think they will go there.

I mean if there is even the slightest possibility that this will air in 2028, they better sell it in another platform or something...

Thanks for the info.

Those are some really bad news 🥲

I saw someone mention it on Twitter, but it is still appearing on the app for me.
About hyx, we will never know...
They could drop it today, next month, next year or not at all. We can just wait 🥲

Thank you for the thorough explanation. I was wondering because of the reasons you mentioned. Even though that was the thing that made the most sense, I was pretty confused because of the way she talked to SE. The way she acted looked like she was a relative, but the way she spoke was like she was a stranger.

Question: what kind of relation does the woman who takes care of Sang Eun's mom has with her?

Is she the wife of her brother? She keeps saying "oppa", but I don't get it. Who is she referring to?

I need some recs too.
Personally I don't think I have watched any with heavy gaslighting, especially in this dark/non makjangish way if that makes sense.

You may enjoy Beyond Evil

True, poster is like copy paste 😂

Well plot wise kind of. Both series have horror elements and some parts of their plot take part in a village. They also have 3 main people taking part in solving the mystery (even though we haven't got there with Revenant yet).

In both series we have the "possessed" one, the police officer and the "expert one" (the priest on The Guest and a folklore professor here).
However a big difference is that The Guest mostly focused on demon/exorcism while this one mostly focuses on folklore. Both series also have a very similar atmosphere. Funny thing is that even though they have many similarities that I realized by answering you, they don't really feel that similar. Imo this one is creepier, the story is more interesting and so is the pacing. Plus I think (if I noticed correctly) that Revenant is not censored.

Have they announced the platform yet?

Acting and cinematography is great. The plot is interesting. But it is pretty slow paced, so if you don't generally like slow paced series or the genre of the series, you will probably not enjoy it.

Not every drama is for everyone. This just may not be for you. If u have already watched half of it, I don't see a reason to drop it, but at the same time if you feel like u force yourself don't waste more time.

I personally loved hunger, but generally I agree with you that the crew is very promising. Trailer looks pretty good, and besides the projects you mention the main director and scriptwriter has also written and directed Those that Follow (a very promising short horror film) and Shutter that I consider a classic horror movie.

I hope this one is worth it, because it definitely has what it takes to be good as long as the execution is good.

The actual question is which summer? 😂😂😂

I mean, if you ask me I think that any person that has been watching movies or series for a while, knows that ratings are subjective. Rating definitely affect though especially for newbies. I think most people get to learn that ratings may be "false" after their own experience (watching something witha really high ratings and hating it). However, I feel that if they really want to five something a chance they will. But let's not judge from the get go. There are multiple series out there that start great and end up a disappointment or the opposite (and as a result the ratings change too).

Yes, sure. I just wanted to mention my pov.
I think it is a good thing going to the comment section to get multiple opinions and not base their decision on the ratings, but I on the other hand, I also get, like u said, that some people check the ratings to make a decision. Either because it is tge easy/obvious way or because comment sections are a bit "dangerous" (spoilers wise).

Yeap, exactly.

Yes, I like it too when it is well made and mostly necessary.

Tbh I don't think so. It just came out so probably most people will check the comment section or ask if it is bad because of the rating. At least if they have been on mdl for a while.

Yes kind of, but that depends on other things too. I mean first of all, we are talking about many more ratings in general. This series has only been rated by a little more than 60 people. You can't name that rating accurate. That aside, there are quite a few series that are very highly rated on mdl and they don't focus on romance or have no romance. Plus, the majority of korean productions involve romance anyways, so it is natural that many of them are highly rated (I mean if they produce 100 series a year, 80 of them have some kind of romance, This one could easily have some unnecessary romantic plot too). More importantly those series are the ones that were very popular to begin with and the reason why many people got into kdramas. Like 5 years ago there were barely any series that weren't mostly on the romantic genre. Like there were barely any actual police dramas. If you ask me, Koreans make really good romance dramas comparing to other countries, while other genres are something relatively new for their TV.

That aside, that only happens on Kdramas. Notice the Jdramas. The majority of them don't have high ratings to begin with no matter the genre, because people just tend to focus more on Kdramas.


All that aside, a romcom is not necessary bad because it is a romcom and a political/mystery (or whatever other drama besides romance) is not necessarily better than a romcom. Plus let's not forget, that it is much more difficult for a non romance drama to be good, because it is mostly based on logic and plot holes are not really allowed. Viewers rightly tend to be much more strict, especially since many series tend to be repetitive and predictable. Basically people just have different expectations. If a romantic series is cliché no one cares that much, because that is one of the main reasons someone may watching it.


I agree about the popular leads part. People may rate something higher because they like an actor/actress and also many more people will be watching it. But at the same time, it is natural to be favorable to an actor actress you enjoy watching.
