Forget it then! I'm a fan of Netflix for many reasons: being the first crusaders to wide stream content from all over the world - kudos, utterly amazing. But since they became content producers, they're changing things... it's no longer delivering the world to my TV, but the world in its own image. I'm balking at that. So, even as a big fan of PSJ, with regret, I'm not interested. I like the classic k-drama format. I almost stopped watching TV entirely when fed with the gruel churned out by the English speaking world. I feel pretty much repulsed by all my own country's content, it makes me feel physically sick to watch just 5 minutes. Must be something wrong with me, but I'll stick to watching the great dramas made by Korean TV companies. I like stories. Not the churning out of open-ended repeats with tweaks here and there. No way. Never again.

Title Curtain Call
I'm a bit confused by the timeline. Someone who's 92 in 2022 was born in 1930, but she's clearly a lot older than…
I started doing maths too, but I'm not fussy, I just go with it. I get the gist, let's see... you could be right, we don't know the year of the modern setting... but the phones and trends appear to be around the present day. Perhaps the story was written 10 years ago - if I have to pick, I'll choose your calculations, they were ~20 and 14 when they fled, then it all fits nicely.

Title Curtain Call
I love it, the cast is all star, quite a job for the director. Only watched one episode so far, I tuned in as a fan of Ha Ji-won - I haven't seen her play a chaebol before, it suits her and is about time. But tbh episode one really sparked when Kang Ha-neul went on stage, his energy lifted it. Impressive start, looking forward to the rest.

she lost a lot of weight, it's very obvious in gaus electronics. hope she is healthy and eating well. :
Skinny Minnie, she ain't skinny, she's tall... and that's all. She looks absolutely beautiful and gorgeous at the moment, like a woman in love, a total knockout, she couldn't look more healthy in body and mind, she's glowing. Actually, she's always glowed, she's naturally radiant.

On The Light in Your Eyes Oct 24, 2022
The whole cast did well but two performances stood out, I have a new respect for Nam Joo-hyuk and Kim Hye-ja who both surprised me. Of course I already love Han Ji-min, it wouldn't have worked without her. The narrative was a little obtuse, I won't say why, not to say it wasn't enjoyable throughout, let's just say it broke a golden rule.

I have watched two episodes and it is different and so enjoyable. ML is superb, will carry on with it.
I thought it was called "Into the White Night" but it's listed as White Night... adapted from a Japanese book (before the Japanese version, which I've yet to see). I was so impressed with it. I can't remember which service it was on, maybe it was on TV... it's on kissasian.sh if you know how to avoid the ad traps - open in a private browsing window and close after watching - it probably runs some drone JavaScript in the background which shouldn't harm your computer.

EDIT: don't read *any* MDL reviews or comments, they're wrong and will totally spoil it. I just looked it up, so disappointing to read - watch it first!

Thanks, I'm tempted. Actually I haven't seen any of Go Soo's dramas, but two of his movies - one of which is still one of my favourite movies of all time

On Missing: The Other Side Oct 17, 2022
Looks interesting but I'm not sure if I should watch... being on Netflix with 12 episodes means only one thing - it's probably going to go on and on for at least 2 years.
I just scrolled up and true to form, there's a sequel. I'm not going to start, I'll curb my disappointment right now. If Korea starts making American style shows, I'll just stop.

I'm happy for them both! Sinse GHJ is Catholic, I hope they were married in a Catholic church. (It's a Catholic…
It doesn't really matter. Who cares as long as they're both good people and happy? I hope they have a great day, live well and enjoy each other's company to the fullest, in every way.

Title Little Women
Why do people hate in-hye's character? You don't know how it feels when everyone wants you to enjoy your life…
I don't think most viewers disliked her, I thought she was great. I wouldn't focus on a few spiteful posts, they're from the small minority that shouts loudest.

I'm really glad I'm not the only one who had "HYORIN/INHYE ARE GAY" alarm bells going tf off in my brain.
I thought Hyo-rin might turn out to follow in mum's footsteps, glad it wasn't like that!

I see what you mean, she felt a lot more guilty than she would otherwise! I just saw it as her natural personality, good observation, thanks

I don't get your point, what does raising her arms have to do with what's in her pocket?
