I'm getting curious about Agency, you write a lot about it but most of us can't watch it! From the ratings it looks like a winner, hopefully it'll get picked up after it finishes.

I only said it's possible. Do you know where it ranked 3 months ago? It's just that I read elsewhere it was 'trending'. Regardless of that, where does a 'fan base' come from? Don't you think it's possible a 'fan base' might increase when the same actors' later works garner attention? I often go through actors' back catalogues when I see a great performance in a different drama.

Actually yes .. but I thought.. did Mr Choi really just kiss her brother?? 😆

I'd say it was pretty good overall. It starts off brilliantly, but doesn't quite go the distance. By the end, certain jokes had passed their sell by dates, like the sister being the man in her relationship, started off very funny, finished a trifle unfunny.

It's possible True Beauty is garnering new attention after Moon Ga-young's transcendent performance in The Interest Of Love.

It's on Viki in the UK, not Netflix.

Age gaps are fine, it's about being appropriate to the age of the character. Lost was an interesting story about a younger lover. The leads in this drama are written to be the same age, so you're right - seems like the writing team and the casting team had a punch up behind the scenes and neither backed down!

I remember those comments... they ditched it in favour of an AI used to tune what to recommend to people. They didn't want feedback on content - the comments on bad shows were hilarious, they wanted to stop that. I laughed so much, I miss that! For example, there was a Star Trek series that got ripped apart, the female lead character's name was Michael Burnham, everything about it got ridiculed so badly, didn't go down well with Netflix at all.

I saw her on a Japanese chat show yesterday. She's popular.

Same here, and I agree. They started out by providing great content and software for all ages and nationalities. I think as it's grown, it's lost it's grip on quality control and hired stock 'talent' from the established entertainment biz, it's become watery and political - and as you say, it's taking out its frustrations on its customers.

Oh don't get me started. I LOVE their work... but I hate the way they credit themselves across the art works they're subbing. Subs are supposed to be discreet. I'd have no problem if they began the drama with a mini movie about themselves, before or after, but not during the work - they mustn't add graffiti to other people's work, it looks a bit childish.

Yes, I loved Goblin, I loved everything about it. How does it make sense though? If I didn't mind the age gap of 900 years in Goblin surely I'm not one to criticise age gaps in this drama - I don't want to notice it, I love JDY - maybe Mr Choi could have been older, but as it stands, it's nagging at me - that's all.

Speaking of doctors, I think Mr Choi and his psychiatric doctor look pretty good together!

I'm also struggling with the name Hae-e in the subs, it doesn't make sense at all, what's happened to Netflix?

I thought both she and Mr Choi were early 20s when they met. And I'm also guessing she's around 15 years older than Hae-yi.

Respect to you

I'm just going to go ahead and mention the elephant in the room. Is there anyone watching who's not familiar with Jeon Do Yeon? I don't know if it's just me because I've seen quite a few of her works, but I'm recently not able to push past the fact that she's supposed to be the same age as Mr Choi. This is a brilliant drama, she's fantastic, but I'm struggling with that detail.

Fair play to you

The criticism is very funny and entertaining, I agree.

You love that? About this show?? That's just not true, is it.
