Guess you're a relieved man. You feared the drama was about to take a nose-dive last week, hurrah!

I happened to pause Viki this week just as Gyeo-re stuffed a walnut pie in Nurse Seo's mouth. I looked at her for a moment in this strange pose... omo , omo, she's still so cute!! She can act too btw, she's magnificent, it's no coincidence. What to do when the wrong man buys her jewellery and takes her out to dinner and confesses?! I'm her new fan, I might even watch Run-on after this.

I really liked I Picked Up a Star on the Road. They might be low in production quality but they all contain daring plot or character twists. I'm quite a fan of his dramas.

Han Ji-min 🫰I'll watch

Great. It needs improvement so a K-make-over is just the ticket!

I was lured to this article by a photo of the exquisite Han Hyo-joo. It better not be on Disney-, that's all I'm saying!

With a few narrative tweaks here and there it could have been one of the best romcoms in history. But still, as it was it had plenty of charms. For example I was charmed by Nam Gi-ae in every episode, what a great role! A story that starts with a bang isn't typical either.

I could have given this a higher rating, the production quality was a little lacking in sound engineering and editing - I guess it was going for the 'natural' feel. But performances were great. Story was brave. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Started watching on Netflix, switched to Viki during episode 4, I found their English subtitles captured Korean culture a little better, after all that's why I watch k-dramas. 14 episodes in exported version, not sure what happens in the 13 episode version.

Idk. Tomorrow and Mystic popup were supernatural stories. If you're going to compare, it's more like Chocolate since a large part featured a hospice, although Chocolate tried to be all dramas in one, way too much going on there: medical drama subterfuge, multiple accidents, cooking, childhood traumas, travel, chaebols, you name it.

Sorry, I don't follow... why did he take the whole car with 2 dead bodies along with all the money? He could have made off with a decent sum, scattered some notes on the floor, nobody would have even known, they'd have just thought it disappeared in the wind or the murderers took it.

Maybe, but not how this guy went about it, choosing the stupidest of all the options available to him... I guess he must have considered just running off with some cash, but then what would happen in the next 9 episodes? He felt he owed it to Netflix to act like an idiot and drag things out in the most 'dramatic' way possible.

Is there a reason why, at the start, the guy didn't just pinch a few wads of cash and scarper instead of incriminating himself to that degree? I can't bear it - it's not for me, it churns my stomach to watch.

And it isn't out of the box, it's pretty typical gangster fare

Spoiler alert. Guess he makes it to the end and it's a typical Netflix inconclusive ending then. Thanks very much.

'Noir' doesn't work over 10 episodes, it's too monotonous

Same. Shot just like a movie, doesn't really work as a drama series, it's 5 hours too long. It's not that there's too much story though, it's pretty straightforward - if they had time, the opening episode could have tried harder to build the characters and family dynamic instead of cinematic snapshots rushing instantly to the 'good stuff'... Netflix's desperate attempt to hook viewers has taken a toll.

Great performance, agree

The comment's from a viewer that thought Tomorrow was good, sets off a few alarm bells 🚨

Agree with John Smith, you should try to say what you think's lacking otherwise it's a pointless comment, no offence

Joon Kyung appears to have similar personality disorders to those analysed in a recent trial in Virginia - borderline and histrionic. K-dramas use psych profiles to combine character types. It's interesting to try and spot them and makes the characters relateable, we all know someone a bit like this or that.
