Probably type 2 diabetes. Making more of it for the sake of publicity.

Pairing from hell. An accident waiting to happen.
Both of these two flourish when paired with talented co-stars. It's going to be embarrassing.

Typo in the headline LA. It should say "Season 2 Hellbound"
Seasons hellbound.
They are, every single one.

Are those guys up there pissing on us fans from a high place? Co-production? What bullshit is that?
Btw who's behind that new John Wick version of Ballerina - is that another one? I guess that's a title they might improve on tbh, the Korean movie wasn't that good.

I can't put into words how stupid those two dudes holding the microphones look. Whatever they're saying, they've got their eyes filled with dollars. Disgusting.

Seriously, Studio Dragon, please don't make me hate you. You made one of the best dramas of all time, just leave it alone. Nothing good can come of selling out. Once you start down that path, that's all you can do: remakes and sequels, you'll never get another creative project off the ground. It's almost as if you're not seeing the painful demise of Hollywood.

Remember the magic of Cinema Paradiso? Seems there's no place for real movies these days, what would happen if they tried to make something like that today? The magic's coming from South Korea now, but it seems the Americans are intent on destruction. Bulls in china shops et al.

There's no American equivalent to any aspect. No charm, no romance, no actors, no comedy. They won't be able to pull it off. Then they'll make a fucking season 2, "Crash Landing On You Too!"

Yes. I couldn't believe The Wailing. I'd heard it was good, but she made it, absolutely inspired - if it's possible to be inspired to do that, maybe we should say possessed. It's strange that when certain actors over achieve it makes their career harder in some cases.

No, but perhaps she's another one - tbh she hasn't left a print on me yet. I'm thinking about Park So-yi who stood out in Dambo (Pawn) and a few others... including 19th Life... but it was the way she performed in Atypical Family that made me think she's the real deal, she can act from her soul.

Yes, well said, there are loads of good points. I spend too much time being critical.

It's based on a book, MDLers will let you know! Sorry for sounding strict, my bad 🙏

I liked her in the time travel one recently... (checking name of drama) Park's Marriage.

I see from her list she was a child actress, that's where it comes from. The brilliant children are coached and rehearsed to the max, it makes it hard to know what to do as a decision-making adult. There's one child actress evolving at the moment who's the real deal, she'll stand on her own feet.

Yes, it's good, recommended
(Don't forget J-dramas love a flawed or imperfect ML)

Thanks for the info, I hear you, but I didn't feel it - for example there was no joy in the scene at the machine arcade, it felt forced. I wasn't feeling it.

Disclaimer, I'm not much of a fan of hubris. That would be writers that write about themselves - writer-lead-characters (could make an interesting MDL editorial). The protagonist is usually loathsome in one way or another - fake, self-righteous and narcissistic.

Saying that, it's not a bad drama, 6 episodes is pushing it with each episode at about 50 minutes. Not sure Se-young fits the character, I couldn't feel it from her. At first I thought maybe because she's acting in a foreign language - unless one really is comfortable with a language (regardless of accuracy) the emotions don't fit with the words and it can appear stilted. But she didn't seem too comfortable in Korean scenes either, no idea why, she's a good actor, perhaps something weighing on her.

No, you have to like romance, the fallout from it, and so on. It's all about romantic feelings, basically being human, making mistakes and misunderstandings - it depends what you mean about romance though. This is not joyful, it's downbeat.

Why are you obsessing over the ending? Stop talking about it, there are all sorts of endings, don't try and spoil it.

Maybe I watch more Japanese TV but I'd say the opposite, he's been perfect and she's over acting. She's unnatural, maybe because most of her work's been in Japanese so far. Ever noticed when K-actors start doing scenes in English and they drop out of character, lose the rhythm and rhyme? I'm no expert, but maybe it's something like that, it can happen when a lot of extra work goes into the dialogue, the expression suffers a bit.

Identical twins getting mixed up and Park Jin-young in the middle of a Park Bo-young sandwich. That doesn't sound annoying at all.
Tbh these two have got brother and sister names, it makes it weird.
