Youâd think that it is a given, if there is going to be a s2 of a kdrama (that is the continuation of the same story, especially if itâs based on an existing material to the screenwriter isnât coming up with a new story) that the main character would be there! (Since season 2 of this was announced way before) But apparently notâŠ
It always amuses me a little when an actor plays a character with the same name as them, like what do you mean Byun Yo Han is playing Yo Han? đ Because sometimes it feels like they were too lazy to come of with a name and just went with the actorâs name instead (though, I am aware that this particular film is based on a novel so this characterâs name was most likely established way before the cast was!).
It will be interesting to see how he portrays a deaf character. I'm assuming sign language will be used, like…
May be, though based on the script reading video he seems to have a lot of speaking parts too, and based on the fact that his character became hearing impaired later in life, he might continue speaking as ânormalâ. Though I hope some sign language will be used too.
plus the synopsis literally says Ha Ran will be his "savior"
That part actually might depend on the translation of the synopsis and the site youâre looking at. Someone posted (on this dramas page here on mdl) another synopsis of the drama from another site and they didnât use that wording, it was a bit different in general too.
i'm wondering too. do we know if the ml fully lost his hearing or if he'll be wearing a hearing device or something?
From the script reading he seems to have a lot of speaking parts. As to his hearing loss, itâs a very broad spectrum, some people use hearing devices and still prefer to use sign language or even with the device their hearing is very poor, some people donât use any devices but still can hear a bit etc. Iâm not an expert on this, so I have no idea how it might be portrayed in this drama.
I just hope that he is speaking, at least if he lost his hearing recently. I love the use of sign language, but…
From the script reading he seems to have a lot of speaking parts. I agree with what you say, at the same time I hope there will be some sign language present too.
Omg she looks the exact same in every single drama...literally thought these were stills from call it love...LSK…
I agree, but I also think itâs that this type of hairstyle and hair color just looks the best on her (and much better than any other one, I suppose) thatâs why it is mostly maintained the same (she also has unique eye-color, and this every-shade-of-brown type of hairstyle really fits it).
Maybe, that because non of the characters she portrayed so far called specifically for a very unique look, or certain specific aesthetic (as she played in real-life based dramas, mostly romance, so usually no need for any special effects makeup etc. and the setting wasnât anything special either), so they just simply go for something that looks best on her (so that she may appear as good-looking as possible on screen, I guess, as looks are important in SK).
The last time I remembered her with a very different style was in Weightlifting Fairy, she had short and brighter (light orange-brown) hair (a bob?) and almost-mini bangs, which truly was a rather long time ago.
Although to be fair, her looks change slightly between every drama [she didnât have bangs in Cheese in Trap - her character also has a bit more unique aesthetic there; she had the longest bangs in Miss & Mrs Cops; her hair was brighter and her fringe way thinner in Dr. Romantic 2; her hair was noticeably darker brown in Call it Love (than here, since you brought it up) and in Dr. Romantic 3; then in The Nice Guy she didnât have bangs at all too, and her hair was more ashy-brown; in this drama here she seems to be again in her most popular style with thicker bangs and warm-brown hair etc.], although those arenât big and easily noticeable changes, which makes all her characters appear to look basically the same, so I understand the complaint.
Personally I donât have much issues with this. I feel like every character of hers is different enough for me to enjoy, even if they look similar. I also didnât really watch any of her dramas closely back-to-back, so I donât think there ever was a time for me for this to become an issue. But I get that it might seem as âlow-effortâ or be annoying and boring for some people.
Though, Itâd be interesting to see her in a completely different aesthetic and acting in a different setting (maybe some survival/action type of drama/movie?).

Sorry for the long comment.
