This whole budgeting thing has both good and bad sides.
On one hand, it lets K-drama productions be way more extravagant. But on the other, they lose a lot of creative autonomy over the project. Since Netflix now has a say in the story, they keep pumping out these high budget, low episode count, multi-season dramas made for a Western audience.
Honestly, K-dramas have lost their touch these days. Rarely does something original come out and actually manage to create some buzz. Ever since Squid Game blew up, Netflix just wants to push out as many dramas in that same genre as possible before the hype dies down.
You can’t even find a 16 episode drama anymore. Everything is under 12 episodes, made for social media addicted minds. For the most part, there’s no charm left in them. Even the scripts are mostly adaptations of web novels or webtoons.
And since Netflix is the one driving the budgeting game now, other productions have no choice but to follow the same path, because if they don’t, they’ll just lose out.
I thought Yim Si Wan's characters always belong to either a 100% green flag or 100% red flag category and no in between. He nails both of those ends so well.
But I guess this is the in-between. One moment he's a narcissist and the other moment too funny.
What happened to this? This really went downhill. I guess after a lot of heavy characters Park Eun Bin wanted to be in a light hearted one. But the writer didn't do justice for her acting calibre
The moment he realised he's not gay. ✅

But season 2 is not bad as well
Too funny even during a rewatch
Who sponsors this work?
Not that it matters anymore
