I can't believe you watch with timed comments! That drives me nuts, turned it off years ago
You just nailed it on the head - people that scramble to add comments are not paying attention to what they're watching! What's next I wonder...? Timed sound effects - popcorn, noisy bags of sweets, somebody farting. I can't believe they're even allowed to paste their garbage over other people's works, but heigh ho, it is what it is. My motto: If it's not on Netflix I have to bear it. I have a secret wish for a decent owner to buy Viki, any other business run like a community (aka cult) wouldn't survive, any company that let's the community run riot is a poor owner. That's Rakuten I guess. Sorry, this turned into a rant 😤
Very sad this good natured show will end in 2 weeks, it's a real, uplifting winner. Kwon Yu-ri is quite something, I know nothing about K-pop, just learned that my 2 favourite actresses of the moment are from Girls' Generation (the other is Choi Soo-young) both doing a cracking job with their characters.
If you refuse to watch the 2nd season you’re missing out
Yes, agree completely, the exceptions make things complicated - I noted one: Doctor X Michiko Daimon, an exceptional character that remained popular through multiple seasons - obviously with foils aplenty to fuel her grandeur! In general, sequels are the lazy option exercised by execs that like low-value/low-risk, an artistic concept that offends me.
For your sake I hope RD#3 fulfills your hopes and is great. The great thing about medical dramas is the ability to pull an engaging variety of situations from the main cast, patients, families etc., similar to law dramas and the like - a combination of episodic and serial story telling... but beware, there's a very fine line between episodic drama and daytime TV soaps! Every season makes that line a little thinner.

Thanks, I understand your view and appreciate it 🙏
On the one hand I have a stance on seasons, which is a bias, based on regret, from experience - with a touch of cynicism aimed at the producers. On the other, I feel like I know what will happen already, so it's a matter of just witnessing it. I like the cast, the trailer looked interesting, but still not enough to be more important to me than new, original dramas - even when I hit a dry patch I'd rather pick an original drama I've thus far missed.
I almost watched Hospital Playlist once, coincidentally s2 was announced at the same time so I changed my mind. I made an exception for Yumi's Cells s2 and again, wished I'd left the excellent s1 in tact. I won't watch s2 of Woo Young Woo either and wish they'd stuck to the original ending of s1, which closed in a ham-fisted manner. Same goes for Squid Game, Money Heist, etc.
I grew up on a diet of North American and British TV dramas, for the most part it was junk food, now I feel sick - so stick to healthy stuff from around the world, there's plenty to choose from, and it's easy with so much choice available - thanks to the global streamers Viki, Netflix etc - the aftertaste is still there so when something reminds me of it, I balk, no disrespect to the show runners or fans, it's my problem which I solve in my way: ignore. I only complain out of selfishness - I don't want k-dramas to go down that road, I'm willing them to carry on being original and not take the easy path that ultimately instills resentment in the audience, the effects of which take years to surface.
Ah, bless. I'll never forget the scene she was supposed to stroll ponderously down the school corridor in sync with the steps of Jung Hae-in... and at the same time, deliver her lines. She gave it her all, who cares if she didn't quite nail the choreography or the delivery?
Itasimasen. I only watched s1, not a fan of seasons. It was great. By the time season 7 comes along I wonder who'll be left. Saying that, I watched 6 seasons of Doctor X, she's the coolest. Meron desu.
Ah thanks for telling me, i delete them now and should i delete Rowoon or not?Let me know is there anyone shouldn't…
Please delete Rowoon. He was lead in Tomorrow... and quite bad imo, sorry! Idols that use mononym in acting... are any of them any good? Rowoon, Joy, ...? When I see a drama with one-name cast members I never watch. There's an idea for a new survey: "mononym actors that are not terrible"
Can I nominate 2 to be removed? Hwang In-yeop was ML in Why Her, I really like him though... and Lee Da-hee was FL in Luca and also the upcoming Island...?
One to add?... maybe can you add the imposing Jung Eun-chae? She has everything needed to lead a drama - I hear she upset people some years back off-screen, but she's got the charisma to lead, and she's a very fine actress.
Also added Ahn Woo-yeon, I really liked him in Mad For Each Other, maybe he has potential to lead.
Tbh from this list I only believe Park Jin-joo and Jung Eun-chae have the energy and charisma needed to be a drama lead - everyone else is in the right position as a support.
If you did another list in reverse... leads that should have stayed as supporting actors (I know, not nice!) I would nominate Han So-hee and Seo In-guk. Don't troll me people!
you should read it first, yes some actor/actress have leading roles but needs more
Ha! Sorry, thought that was you in the profile pic 😱 tbh somebody else replied to me (now deleted), they thought I was disrespecting you - they basically told me to f-off and used words like 'lmfao' and 'daheck'. Maybe they got the wrong end of the stick and then deleted it!

He asked me, just trying to reply to what he said "If you can do it for me, i can edit to change it" What's it to you though? I said something, he replied, I replied back... did I do something wrong?
His wound! What are you all thinking?! 🤭

Sorry, long reply to your one-liner!
Sorry, just trying to crack a joke.
He's already an A-lister, this list is supposed to be an up-and-coming poll... I think!?
Hwang In-yeop was ML in Why Her, I really like him though...
and Lee Da-hee was FL in Luca and also the upcoming Island...?
