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.
I don't think you know what you're talking about. You're spamming the comments with pro Netflix propaganda. If you could name one I'd have given you credit. You couldn't, you failed. Bye, Netflix drone.
Yet another big budget production without substance and completely lacking in wit; just goes to show there's no correlation between budget and likeability.
Yet another Hollywood 'strong female lead' from Netflix... butch, rude, basically acts like an obnoxious man. The lint test is to imagine her as a male character... If you'd hate him as a man then no need to like her just because it's a woman. The badly drawn characters aren't relatable at all...
Which leads me to wonder... I'm pretty much convinced Netflix has built production teams from the unemployed, resentful rejects of successful production companies, there's no direction, personality, or talent, just a staff that says 'yes' to Netflix execs. I've had enough of these 'ideas', it's not creative and is trying way too hard to be cool.
Why are they obsessed with (badly) depicting behind-the-scenes of k-dramas? It looks more like a bitter swipe at the popular industry, whoever wrote it appears to have no clue, it's mean-spirited and worst of all... dull.
So, alas, another weak effort from Netflix productions, they should probably give up, they're giving k-dramas a bad name. If it wasn't for the Korean network dramas...
Imagine a sweet shop that sold the world's most delicious chocolate. One day it decided to make its own chocolate - it started off quite well, nobody minded... then, some idiot at Netflix-chocolates noticed on social media that putting salt in chocolate was cool, so the Netflix chocolate makers piled in salt, salt and more salt, so much salt that everyone would love them! Sadly, it didn't work out that way, the moral of the story... social media's about as useful as a chocolate teapot, trust it at your peril.
This looks awesome. My type of drama. How is it? How's the chemistry and romance? Any love triangles? Happy ending?
No to all. No chemistry. No romance. No love triangles. No happy ending. Netflix series never end, surely you know that! They start, then they stop, there's no ending.
*All* K-dramas at the moment have proper, well written, strong female leads. Except this one.
Edited for brevity.
