Not sure about the episode number, because in my opinion, it's all about the writing. A good writer can do a good job, it doesn't matter how long it is, but I've seen many long and short series (not just Korean) fail to deliver. Shorter shows usually fail with character development because it has to be faster paced. These days, they do limited series because it's much cheaper and can look better as well, but a LOT of my favorite have more than 20 episodes.

But many people don't like slice of life that actually develop characters better than anything else, probably.

Well said. I agree to everything you said. A lot of people use "boring" for everything these days and later complain about the lack of character development. The 7th EP was basically the 1st EP of the 2nd half of the season, so it's basically a new build-up like the 1st episode was.

Episode 7 proved why so many people love this show. Some might say it was boring, but it showed again why it's important to respect each other AND know each other better. At first, I didn't like the Chinese cooks, but now I respect them! And I'm obviously loved every scene with Jiyeong, Jang Chun Saeng and the boys. Ko Chang Seok is such a funny and lovable actor.

Never heard bigger bs in my life and I heard many things.🤣

Okay, but people still believe he's the other guy after he left the hospital. It's really not that hard to compare two pictures of the guys.

Yeah, you're right, I mixed them up with TVN. Based on the list of TVing shows, Prime Video could be the one. Viu and Paramount aren't worldwide.

Let's hope Netflix will license the show. The poster kinda looks AI made, tho.

That's what I meant to say. I hope it's NOT Disney. I don't like VIKI either because of the bad video quality, it's still 720p in Europe, and that's nonsense, but at least the Kdramas are available.

If it's Disney, it's only selected regions, because it's MBC not Disney original, so I hope it's not Disney or at least VIKI.

Some people try to defend this drama, saying they have to put 15 seasons in 20 episodes. That's a load of rubbish. Criminal Minds is not some very complex TV show. It's just a typical crime drama. I only watched the first 4 episodes so far, and it's already all over the place, below average writing, and it's predictable as well. Like, there's no surprise at all. The characters are so stupid I can't even describe it. How can someone have a job at a place like this with a low IQ?

I only started watching this because of Yoongi and Chaewon, but I feel like I'm gonna drop it, because it's waste of time. A so called genius with 180+ IQ is so slow as hell, the hacker woman is so dumb, she just used a random flash drive and put it in their main computer. A wife of a profiler is so dumb, she believes some random dude her husband died, and never thought: "Maybe I should call my husband first or at least his collages I actually know."

The more I talk about this show, I get more angry.

Maybe I will finish it after a couple of weeks because I can't bare to watch more than 1 episode per days or weeks.

Drunk Ji Yeong as the First Rapper of the Joseon Dynasty is one of the best Kdrama scene I've seen.

Yoona singing "Come back Home from Seo Taiji and Boys" was insane.😂

That's why I said it was a dumb plan, because Jiyeong already beat both chef before, not sure why she thought she can outdo her now. It would be a better plan to just kill or abduct her.😅

Use Spoiler please! Also, I know that part, but I was talking about her plan with the food. 😅

BTW, what was Mokju's plan exactly? Because they made a big deal out of it, but it turned out to be a complete failure. At first, I thought she's gonna put some ingredients in Jiyeong's food, but her plan was to serve a cold dish? Not a smart woman.😂

I think another culinary contest with the Chinese guys is coming soon.

Also, the chili scene was funny. Never seen anyone so hyped up about a chili.🤣

This drama should be renamed to "Drooling over you".😂

I agree, ratings are subjective, and I don't mind or even care if people rate 10/10 something just because they love an actor or something else on the show, but I still think it's hypocritical trashing a show for its bad writing but don't do the same for others. I'm not saying, people should rate this or anything else higher and love it, but it's still unfair (?) imo.

This is the reason I always ignore ratings, and even reviews, especially comments. After 20 years, I can judge anything based on a short description or trailer.

Sure, I get that, and IF I will finish it I might have a similar opinion, but a lot of people overreacting here in my opinion, and as I said, it's kind of weird seeing so many people arguing about the writing when the same people don't care about writing at all when it comes romcoms or other genres. I'd love if people keep the same expectation about everything, but I've seen so many people saying: "Writing is not important it's just a romcom." etc, but we could say the same about any genre honestly. That's why I can't take people seriously who complain about writing once in a while.

I'm not here to defend the show after watching 2 episodes, but one thing is for sure, Kdrama fans are hypocrites! They're moaning about writing and all that, but they don't do the same when they rate 10/10 copy and paste romcoms with the same writing quality, because their fave puppies are so cute on screen. Somehow the story and writing is not important there.

Imagine if people rate every show and movie the same way they do with this! We wouldn't have so many overrated bang average romcoms here.😂 This is why I said, ratings should be removed entirely because it's not important and misleading so many people, just like the negative comments.

Again, stupid argument! Do you think the best writers or even actors were top-tier the minute they debuted? If you can't use your brain, stop wasting my time. Also, how many times do I have to say this? He's not the only writer of the show! Reading is hard for you? At this point you're just another dumbass hater.

You don't have a single fact and proof behind you, only the wind.

If you don't like this drama, stop whining about it and move one! You're trying to justify your opinion based on scores and the opinions of others. People who do this, they can't have a real opinion, they just want to follow the pack.

You're the one who wanna talk about writing when you overrate bang average dramas with much worse writing? Now, move along! I don't have time for little babies.
