40 episodes of 40 minutes is quite the challenge….. it’s not only the ‘drag’ I spse…. It’s also related to viewers concentration…. Even if the plot is average/passable, the initial curiosity fades….

The plot really needs to be super solid and well developed + executed for it to naturally make it to 40 episodes….

lol, love the shorter drama formats from Cdramas… most stories/plots can’t be stretched until 40 episodes. The synopsis of Blemish Flaw sounds very interesting, hopefully it’s good,

I want to, because of Wang Duo. But I think I’m going to wait until all episodes are out….

Yeap, agency/manager super important in entertainment industry. I would say just as important as talent, if not even more important… was just talking to another MDL-er like last yr, saying how Wan Duo’s agent must have been pretty crap…

Yeap, this is exactly wot I mean. A lot of other factors come into play wrt popularity and getting good roles…

Wang Duo is uber talented, but in the entertainment circle you defo need much more than talent to become popular….

I’m envious too! I’ve watched it so many times that I know it too well now, which kinda makes me sad. I wish I can brainwash myself. 😭😭😭

I felt the same too….

lol, you get wot I mean right? lol!! That was totally how I felt after the drama ended….

Very romantic in a non-romantic way….

I wonder if that box of chocolates are for sale…. lol, I really want to try that wasabi praline….

Really worth the watch…. Episode 9 was especially interesting….

She moved there one year before the drama started filming to further learn and adapt…..

It was kinda both? Or more of the first thing happened, then the 2nd incident happened by accident….. or more of “the heat of the moment”….

This is probably one of the most touching Cdramas I’ve watched…. And the scariest thing is that it shows how ‘evil’ people can be because of blood relationship…. Especially so in Asian families because of Confucianism values…..

It’s also super thought provoking and educational…. Really loved it…

This is an 8.2 in Douban, which is more in-line with my own scoring…. I’m super surprised at the low score on MDL…

Damns…… this is actually a horror genre TV series…. lol, it’s a scary drama that stems from having siblings, twisted parents and emotional blackmail…..

Why is this rated so low here? It’s a 7.5 on Douban….

It’s probably the best banking drama I’ve ever watched…. It’s definitely one of the best corporate dramas I’ve watched…. I was tempted to give it a 10 at some point but after the last arc, the last 2 episodes…. It felt more of a 9…..

Super realistic, detailed yet written as such that it is very dramatic…. It’s just so unique….

But her chemistry in The Berlin File with Ha Jung Woo was super intense man. Like… lol… I don’t know how serious Ha Jung Woo is, but he joked in an interview that he actually loves Jun Ji Hyun… well at least I’m sure there is some form of natural adoration off-screen, hence why their chemistry is also very natural….

lol, I rewatched The Thieves, recently. But she is also quite eccentric and crazy there. Hahaha. Ah, I didn’t know that was her first on-screen kiss… but look, all her PDAs so far are the very goofy and comedic kind. lol. Hence why I was very surprised with this one. I thought it would have been another Jirisan again…

For me, my least favourite is KSH… to me he really looks too much like her little assistant or PA…. I find it so weird.

But I actually think she still looks ridiculously young though…. She is basically like Song Seung Heon…. I mean SSH has hardly aged a day man… he looks like he’s in his mid-late 30s?

Oh yea, I am a fan of her. There was a kiss in Assasination?? Really?? I must have misremembered. Shitz, I got it mixed up. It was The Berlin File…. That one ended up with a long hug right? I remember thinking shitz, the way she looks at him is so sweet, and equally so sad…. I thought The Berlin File was really good. That was the one they were husband and wife right? But I remembered she had quite a few works also like that. Like it was basically melodrama… wasn’t Daisy and Il Mare also like that? Basically there was no PDA, but super romance heavy. I wouldn’t say I watched all her works. Uhhh… would say I watched most of them I spse… Honestly I thought she looked really good with MinHo coz they both basically looked like they just are featuring in an advert.. like perfect in all angles, in all scenes, even when when they are lying down… and have perfect physiques to go with…

I actually felt she looked really good with Ju Ji Hoon, coz he is also ultra tall… but the plot of that one wasn’t romance at all…. So Ju Ji Hoon also has a natural gaze which is very mysterious….

This one is different…. Honestly I don’t think she’s ever been in these kinda romance roles before…. Which she did mention in the Disney press conference…. She said it’s the first time for both her and KDW to attempt a mature romance, one with nuances and depth…. Coz if you think about it, those roles and dramas/movies that launched her to stardom, she’s kinda crazy in it. lol. Like eccentric, super dramatic and bubbly kinda characters, with over the top romantics gestures… more than anything I find myself bursting out in laughter rather than going all swoony and gaga…

I had the exact same thought at the end of Ep.4…. I’m like lol. TWofM all over again…. Why is he always in these kinda roles…. But then again, when I looked back at his works, it’s funny how it isn’t really the case…. lol. I don’t know. I think it’s also because of his relatively unique face? Like viewers would remember him easily, just like some older Korean supporting actors….

I just came across this…. lol. I think quite a lot of people resonate with us…. I think he has a super versatile face, but then at the same time also stuck in some sort of typecast….
