Me too - Netflix seems obsessed with portrayals of fictional actors, celebrities, YouTubers and so on, which is a bit self absorbed and badly done....

This drama is sort of on those lines, but this time it's good, well written and acted, and absolutely fascinating.

It was fascinating, I was entranced by it, completely mesmerised - especially by the OL mask girl... but it touches on the grotesque. It takes a nasty swipe at things behind the metaphoric masks we see every day... is K-pop demonic? How many real-life idols were the inspiration behind the abominable 'idol' lookalike? The hypocrisy of religion. Mothers. Corruption. Just daring to touch these subjects in earnest can get it down-voted imo.

Edited, even by my standards, careless wording.

I'd like to congratulate Netflix on this one, it was pretty interesting all the way through, lots of messages along the way. I'd have liked to see more of the original mask girl, I liked her a lot and saw her core in all her incarnations, well played to all 4 actresses (including the little one!) to get her character on point. But one thing stood out, not drama-wise but perhaps a breakthrough in presentation - we got very close to the dreaded 6-episode unfinished, half-story that we all drop... but then they cranked it up to 7 and actually finished it!! Brilliant, is Netflix listening to us? Kudos. Very entertaining and out there.

Edit: Oh, one more thing to credit Netflix for... no unnecessary nudity

Who's going to play the sword fighting girl in the bikini? Nobody does dystopian manga like Japan.

Behind Your Touch reached 7% on Sunday. I don't get it, but there it is.

It's true, but who said she was a sidekick, nobody here I think?

Agree, the face mask helped him

Thankfully? Millions of people thought the same as you right from the beginning. Remember, if you form an opinion, any opinion, you're not alone, a ton of others did the same. None of us are special in noticing if a drama's good. Nothing deserves any more than it gets. Hype. Ratings. Whatever. All you're doing is trying to point out that you liked it from the start. Congratulations 👏

It's not America. America has gone so far up its virtue signalling arse it sees fault in everything that's normal in the world. Snap out of it.

South Korea has its own rating system. It's different to the west because the west is decadent. What you consider to be a 12 is because you (and me, I'm not preaching) live in a decadent society.

I didn't see it like that, goes to show, perspectives and all. Half of it was her doing her job, and I think she was interested that he never lied. That's why they played the clip from Master's Sun.

My Dearest is brilliant. That scene with the herb baskets just epitomised the charm of it amidst the backdrop of such harrowing and realistic battle. Whilst watching I felt the sheer misery of war and the joy of human warmth.

MLL is well written, there are lots of lovely side issues where the unravelling of everyday lies is insightful and emotional... Kim So-hyun is good... the cast is good, there are some witty jokes. The weak point is ML is clearly in over his head, he's a rookie actor (he appears to have idol fans), so the PD needs to cut his screen time to a minimum to prevent the drama spiralling. He got exposed in ep.5 as you noted below, those romance scenes almost bombed because of his rabbit-in-the-headlights expression - so often.

What makes actors think pretending they can fly is interesting?

Anywhere except Disney will do

She looks good in these photos

It hasn't.

He used to enjoy acting... until he had to be good 😆
Imagine any other profession where you could say that? I used to enjoy being a doctor, but then I actually had to save people's lives. I used to enjoy driving a bus, but then they told me I wasn't allowed to drift around corners and pile into pedestrians.

Totally - I was going to give credit for hiding spoilers in the article, but then there's the title and photos - probably not what a true drama fan wants to see in advance.

If the cast of 7 Escape is star-studded, then what does star-studded actually mean? Normal?
