I don't know who wrote the part about autism, but that's bogus. You can't develop autism after early childhood. This is a fact, not an opinion. What the male lead experiences here may be any one of a number of other mental health issues. He's strange, yes, but NOT autistic.

It's a remake of Manee Yard Fah (2000) starring Anne T and Willy.

I always love reading your articles! I'm a gender-bender fan myself, so reading about your social experiment was some real food for thought. Keep 'em coming!

This looks promising! The poster is what got me here, but I didn't understand a thing from the google translate level plot summary ._. Hope someone will be subbing this drama soon. Jiayo!

Reminds me of a mix of Gong Yoo and Ji Sung.

I didn't understand much of the story because of the bad subtitles (at some point I just gave up making sense out of them and tried to make do with my limited Korean—and yes, this had a story) but I just need to get one thing out of my system: HOW the heck did that leading male actor avoid exposure? And why is it so hard to find anything on (aka stalk) him? He's absolute K-drama material!

She is seriously pretty. After her role in "Black" she is bound to land a lead role, with her amount of talent it's only a matter of time.

Watched it some time ago, and I both liked and disliked it. You're right, the title must be 'click-bait' hah, none of them were that obsessed with one another (I wish they were though). Most Korean mature romance movies always seem to revolve around either extramarital affairs or age-gap/student-teacher relationships. I wish they'd explore other areas and themes and not always make it look so depressing.

Wuut? Did we watch the same drama? Qing Cheng’s sister lost her mind after her lover told her he wanted to end things with her to be with an influential actress to further his career. He didn’t pretend to be gay.

No offense, but Se Hee was just as much at fault. Ji Ho gave him plenty of opportunity to hold her back, tell her not to go, yet he didn't. In the end, nothing changed. She went back to him not because he asked her to, but because she never planned to leave him in the first place.

Wow, glad that's over. I liked it and all, but the last couple of eps sucked my soul out, it just needed to end and fast. 9.0 is too overrated for this drama. Like, how many of you actually stopped to think about the credibility of the plot or the characters in retrospect? 10/10? Really? Was this perfection?

She reminds me of Soo Ae.

Nice article!

Ahh I see.. that's sad, let's hope someone will put up the missing subs soon! I am very tempted to just start on it too and watch the rest of it raw like you did, but I'm afraid I'll miss out on a lot of great dialogue, sigh

Anyways, super nice list, you finished a lot of great dramas in 2017! ^^
Also, thank you for the reply! (:

Ugh, how did you find subs for Mai Sin Rai Fai Sawart? I really wanna watch it, but can't find any subs for ep 9 and up :(

Happy birthday! I really need to watch Liar Game and Trot Lovers ASAP

Yes, definitely. The melo is going to be thick.

I know this has been criticized for the massive amount of cgi used, but as a sucker for futuristic shit I fell absolutely in love with the scenography in this film and the world it presented. The mature element was heavily present, but not something I'd hang Kim Soo Hyun for. Compared to most other famous Korean actors, his mature scenes were fairly innocent to say the least. If anything, I was stunned over just how impressively he portrayed the two characters. My take, the two characters were one and the same person. They were either his alter egos or a representation of the good and the bad in all of us and how those sides are constantly in battle with each other. The execution was not entirely flawless, nevertheless the mystery keeps you going and for the most part you'll find yourself entertained.

Some words of advice:
Wait for better subs.
Don't watch if you're not ready to say goodbye to Do Min Joon yet.

Because no dramas.
