Those are your words, as you know, I'll start by quoting you: "is there a possible chance that gopuri could be a woman[?]".
I don't know... But to indulge your guess, the person referred to as 'gopuri' was strangling our dude in the hospital - or to put it another way, kicking his wussy ass.

Hi Laura, it's doing quite badly in the ratings for a KBS (free to air) show, and with a good cast too. Also I suppose intelligent Koreans would be aghast at being lumped in with this target audience.
If there's black humour in the webtoon, why's the TV show so crass?
KBS has underestimated its audience and completely misjudged their tenor here.
Go back to your buddies in your cosy Netflix office, oblivion is bliss, right?

It's the pronoun I use to refer to 'a woman'.

That would be.... Abyss-mal.

You nailed it. But... who was that totally cool chick in episode 1? I gave episode 1 a 10. That's how much this show enjoys mocking its audience.

No, you're better off watching a J-porno and skipping the sex scenes, much better than this on a dramatic level.
Hope that one stings, Netflix, it's meant to.

Are you up to date? I reached episode 7 before throwing in the towel. It's possible.... but would make SIG's character a bigger wuss than previously thought since she kicked his ass.

No, you can't binge watch it, it's not in the least bit compelling. On the contrary it's annoying, not even fit for children who expect a much higher degree of intellect than this has to offer. When I was 5 I totally hated adults that patronised me in TV shows that were written for idiots, by idiots.

It's even simpler. If it's supposed to be funny, find a writer and director with an actual sense of humour - not the types that think zany outfits, bad timing and crassness are in any way funny. Subtlety is everything. The writer, we assume, has spent time writing this before it goes to production. Same for the director, same for choreographers. Maybe they're just not as good as their peers that make better shows?

Yes. The writer went on vacation and wrote some repetitive, nonsensical garbage to tide the show over 'til they return. The characters transform into idiots, I mean, we're talking double-digit IQs.

Totally, I just wrote the same thing before seeing yours! It made me think about what I wrote, and probably this will damage her career to an extent, it's inevitable - it's why actors and agents are so careful what they sign. These characters haven't been formed, the humour's childish, there's no synergy between character and narrative hence they're all acting like schizophrenic, headless chickens with less brainpower and personality, it's pure banality. With bad material like this, the only way to save it is to hijack the set, which takes gutsy and inspired creatives - deep down the cast must have known this was sh*t when they were filming but paid too much trust to the people in charge and were powerless to stop the car crash.

After a promising start it's floundering, I'm struggling to get through the latest episodes. These aren't the characters that were introduced, they've somehow become vapid shells and the story's going nowhere. Shame-on it (pun, I'm so bored, sigh). Will confirm whether to drop in the next 30 minutes of episode 7, half decided already. Sometimes the actors light a fire, other times it's the writer, others it's the director's charisma/experience... there's zero inspiration coming from any quarter, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, dial tone of a show. F*** it, dropped, why waste another 30 minutes?
P.s. it's not Oh Yeon-seo's fault, okay everyone? I love her. Watch Mad for Each Other for a show in stark contrast, dripping in quality and wit.

Tbh, looking back over it I don't have the same feeling now as I did at the time. I think it was the way the bride's story unfolded just to satisfy the narrative, it was a little insincere - and not too dissimilar to an episode from Move To Heaven where it was supposed to be a twist - but we'd all guessed instantaneously.

There was one unnecessary signal which I pondered and hastily ignored, advise you try to do the same

Great character who teaches us a lot about ourselves

Right, not toying with the audience gets warmly appreciated by those that don't want to be strung along every time in the usual fashion - it shows that the writer's already got plans for the progression of the narrative

Nonsense. We're only half way through, what are you inferring? It may or may not go anywhere but it's 100% right to explore those feelings and how she and he might handle them.

Autistic people have feelings. I love the romantic overtures.

We all noticed it

Same. For that reason I still haven't watched Descendents of the Sun, despite being a huge fan of Kim Eun Sook. So.... it might have to be another of her great works I don't watch. She's the writer of my favourite K-drama. That's how it goes!
