Was this dubbed? Because whoever did the male lead's role has such a nice singing voice
The male lead, as well as Lin Sen's character both actually got their start in entertainment via music/singing. The male lead [Fan Shi Qi] has actually starred in the Chinese version of The Voice and won a few variety show singing competitions. He has a record deal as well. He just recently started to transition into acting so that is actually his real voice. You can see some of his LIVE performances on YouTube.
His diagnosis is Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD or OD), according to wiki :/ It's similar but not the same, it…
VERY similar: "...In OCD, the avascular fragment separates from a normal, vascular bony bed beneath a sclerotic rim." "In AVN, the avascular osteochondral surface breaks into multiple fragments and separates from an avascular bed."
OCD usually occurs in the knee and AVN in the hip it seems... additionally, OCD can be curable in adolescence but permanent once it's discovered in adulthood. AVN is genetic not traumatic like OCD, thus, it's not curable at all. Surgery etc is only done to heal the fractures and help with pain reduction.
Very sad case for both of them, frankly. They'll both be suffering through pain for the remainder of their lives. **sigh**
WHOA! Wait. Isn't this kind of what Seo In Guk got diagnosed with that got him released from the military after 5 days when he fractured his ankle? [...Osteochondritis dissecans, also know as OCD, is caused by blood deprivation in the subchondral bone. This loss of blood flow causes the subchondral bone to die in a process called avascular necrosis...] Didn't the netizens give In Guk ssi crap for using this as an "excuse" to get out of service? So, does this mean that he is ALSO in this kind of pain?
OH IT WILL AIR. Just right after are great grandkids are at our funerals. Sure it will
Well, instead of saying "..in spring..", KBS2 at least has stated the month of June, 2018. Hopefully, THIS TIME, it will actually happen. Anything that is said to be aired in China requires the fans to have a patient heart. If you like C-Dramas, you already understand this aspect.
Lee Joon Hyuk is also acting in a new tvN drama called "A Poem a Day" & he was interviewed to say that "A Poem a Day" will now air at the same times as "The Miracle We Met", which airs after "Radio Romance" on KBS2, before "Are You Human Too? By his indications it will air. The statements seem to say around June, 2018, but I'm not holding my breath. It WILL air at some point, I'm sure. KBS spent way to much money to scrap it completely. For what I've read, this was pre-produced to air simultaneously in China, much like DoTS, and they are waiting for release approval on this from the Chinese censors. I'm afraid that the censor board has been on a happy cancel trip lately, going after "counterculture", "hiphop", & "western influence" like drunken sailors. They're not allowing anymore "superstitious" dramas including "timeslip" and so God knows what their problem is with a "robot" but they obviously have found one... Who knows how long they'll take to stamp their approval to release it for an air date. In the meantime, KBS is holding off, most likely, because they see the enthusiasm for it and want to get the most play for all the investment they put into it. If they have to wait and air other dramas, they seem more than happen to do it.
I actually agree with your #1 except for the example. When this drama came out this was one of the biggest heavy criticisms but I often argued that you have had to have read the book to understand that the person was supposed to act that way because they were inexperienced. That scene is written in the book exactly that way. She's always been shy etc and for her to not be embarrassed and confused would have gone against the character as it was written.
So, again, in general, I truly dislike a costar who doesn't respond back, when they're supposed to be into it based on the story, especially with the hands down at the side. Who does that? Isn't it naturally to at least hold on to the other person's arm or side to keep you balance? lol. I just don't think the drama chosen was the right one. If you want to know how that scene was written, here is the link to the English translation:
After reading some of the more recent comments I wanted to note something for anyone coming here trying to decide whether to watch this or not. If you're concerned with all the negative comments about the female lead, don't be. The only way you need to be prepared for this show is in two ways: 1. you should have at least a glossary understanding of the professional relationship between Lee Jong Hyun & Gong Seung Yeon and that neither of the characters they are portraying in anyway resembles them as a "professional" couple or individually, and 2. you have watched at least one other show that Gong Seung Yeon has been in to understand her acting capabilities and general style.
This show is a parody of Kdrama tropes, fully tongue and cheek, with the characters overacting their trope roles on purpose. Without real confirmation, but based on WGM fans who loved Gong Seung Yeon & Lee Jong Hyun as the "Bee Couple" [meaning so sweet they are making honey like bees], it is likely the plot was created as "fan service" since their time together on the show was cut rather short for no really clear reason. Many of the things that happen can be referenced back to something that took place during their time on WGM variety show. This isn't meant to be a serious drama. It's 100% slapstick and over exaggerated to give these two some major experience in a lead role. It's also the first time either of them had a true kiss on camera. Most likely, because they've spent so much time together as a "couple" on camera, it would naturally be easier for them to give this part a go and do well doing it together. It was a great forum for a practice run in the "romance genre" of acting for both of them, and it's no coincidence that after the release of this on Netflix and the reception/ratings it got on that platform, that both Lee Jong Hyun & Gong Seung Yeon were picked up by OCN and KBS2 to star as leads in a romance drama, which are both going to be airing in March, 2018.
Best Global Management Award: Cube EntertainmentI'm sorry, but why did Cube win best management.
I fully agree. They did so many things wrong in 2017, the BEAST situation being on the top. CLC wasn't nominated for anything, Pentagon got newcomer awards, & BtoB were nominated but only won in online minor award ceremonies, no major event. Triple H's music peaked high on the charts but no awards. The only thing their actors have done notably last year was their newcomer to get on Produce 101, and a couple webtoons. He won the award for modeling, but that's about it. Cube lost more people than they got last year, and won hardly anything or did hardly anything of note.
Lastly, Universal music sold all of its stock shares in Cube Entertainment at the beginning of the year, and Cube revert to Loen for distribution. That's a lost for their global market, not a gain.
It's times like these you are reminded that South Korea still lives under the veil of a strong nepotistic cultural. Not only giving Cube this award, but Ruler so much recognition over other more popular dramas, this is the only thing that truly makes any sense. If you've paid your dues and networked, and know the big names that hand out the awards, you'll trump quality and get the paycheck every time. Seems that's how Korea works a majority of the time.
FYI, for anyone thinking this won't air: 1. THAAD is over. China and South Korea came to an agreement on it and China has released its ban as of the end of October, 2017. 2. ALL Chinese dramas are PRE-produced because of Communist censorship. It has to edited and approved to the Censorship Boards discretion before they will release it. The Production submits the story along with filming locations for pre-approval. They film the entire drama and submit it to the censors. The censors review it with editing comments, The Production makes the appropriate edits and resubmits as often times as required for final approval and release to air in China. The process tends to take about 1-2 years, thus, most C-dramas you're watching were filmed long before you got to see them and the actors/actresses are already moving on to other things. ...so, you'll also already know if you ship sailed or not --- hahaha... So, saying this will air in 2020 is a safe bet. Production usually gives a standard timeframe they are looking at to get this on the screen, and most often, they are fairly accurate. Unless North Korea does something drastic to cause a war, I don't see South Korea/China foregoing their trade relations. It's just as important to China as it is to Korea.
They were already married on September 1st, they just haven't announced when or IF they'll have a wedding reception and public interview about it.
Even though they've denied it, it looks as if they've been together since the beginning of 2015 after they starred together in Senryokugai Sousakan, so it's not as bad as it first sounded to me.
It's becoming more common in South Korea as well, but not as readily accepted, I think, but are there ANY Japanese actors/actresses that DON'T do the shotgun wedding? They date forever and it's like the girl needs to find a way to get pregnant for the dude to settle down. ...at least the South Korean culture is more accepting of female parenthood alongside having a successful career. Kim Hee Ae comes to mind when I think about this.. but not too many Japanese actresses do the same. Is it really their choice to be housewives only OR does society demand it of them even in this day and age?

Thank you @Alice !!!! I seriously appreciate this...I've been holding off for such a long time, I may have to go back and re-watch the other two seasons..but I still have to say, the subbing is great!

Thank you for doing this...we'd have never gotten to understand this quirky drama without the subs.
