I'm excited about this. A big fan of both of them and a cheesy romcom is just what I want these days over the influx of edgy dramas these days. Hopefully tvN picks this up.
Korean industry should stop trying to be extra and use already existent terms. This is called a "Radio drama", which is more than efficient to describe this format.
As someone who speaks Korean and is fluent in it, I can say that some of these titles are really difficult to translate to English properly and keep it catchy.
Like for the drama "일단 뜨겁게 청소하라" (Clean with a Passion for Now), the "일단" is really difficult to translate because there's no word for it in English. It's an adverb that's more about the feeling/context rather than the meaning. When it's used it stresses an action that's happening before some other action happens so for this title to be properly translated it needed another clause at the beginning (i.e before 일단). So more or less it isn't a complete sentence/phrase, making it difficult to translate properly.
I'd rather they change the title for these difficult to translate dramas than directly translate it. The above drama could've had a different title like the "Passionate Cleaning Crew" or something lol
I hope they do the topic justice. Gender identity among minors is a very complex and nuanced topic. Hopefully it'll be great representation of the trans and non-binary community.
He made a personal video and someone leaked it basically committing a crime but instead of criticising that person, everyone criticised SHJ and gaslighted him into going into hiatus. SK is horrible when it comes to crimes like this, the victims almost always gets blamed :/
So far, none of the leads are very likeable tbh unlike Young Lady or Once Again, I'm not attached to any character in this so far. They all feel selfish and looking out for their own self interest.
50 episodes and not ending till Sept 18th! Won’t even start this till it’s done. My luck it will be so good…
They NEVER add that many episodes to the weekend 50 ep dramas. This will end at 50 eps like planned. Almost all the dramas in this timeslot attain very high viewership and are huge hits in SK and they never extend them. So it won't happen for this either.
Okay it just got harder for this series to be domestically successful now. Currently, tvN has excellent timeslots for its drama so almost all of them are a hit domestically.
This will also prolly mess up its Disney+ release.
Haven't seen this yet but I;m so happy that Seo Ha Jun is shrugging off the toxicity and is back again. The revenge porn and the gaslighting was horrible.
