Been seeing a lot of posts asking about season 2. I may be in the minority but I do not want another season. I love the story now and will be happy to move on with good memories of a well written, well acted drama. The beauty of Kdramas is the single season and the finite number of episodes. The writers have learnt to tell their stories succinctly (for the most part 😀). As soon as there is more than one season, the story starts rambling as the writers don’t really have much material and are just stretching it. For example take the much loved Hospital Playlist. Thought season 2 was not as good as season 1.
Yeah, it is probably the same for everyone in europe. I hate Netflx' bs 2 episodes per week thing but i guess…
The 2 episodes a week are not Netflix’s fault. This is a drama produced by the Korean cable channel ENA and they only release 2 episodes a week like like most other channels in Korea. Only shows fully produced by Netflix, like Squid games and Money heist, have all episodes released at once.
The writer of this fantastic show must have some connection to an Autistic person. She really seems to understand deeply what their lives are like. Her other writing work is a fabulous movie, Innocent Witness, where the main character is a young high school girl who has Autism. The main character was played by the amazing Kim Hyang Gi who did full justice to her role. Here of course, Park Eun Bin is hitting it out of the park- have not seen her breaking character even for a second.
Just realized the writer has also written Suspicious Partner and Hello Monster. Should have guessed by how the romance is being woven into the thriller and humor is sprinkled around like in the other 2 dramas.
Was wondering what to watch after MLN and came across this. Loving it. Interesting story, good acting, suspenseful, humorous. Can’t wait for next week.
You may like Unfamiliar Family. A show about families, regular people with everyday problems and pretty good acting…
Our Beloved Summer Reply 1988 - All time Fave but MLN is a close 2nd. Another Ms. Oh - From the same writer as MLN Law School - same director as MLN Black Dog - quite slow paced but gives an insight into what the school teachers in SK experience
I knew ep-16 was the finale but I watched the end credits with hope that I might see the next preview....😊😊This…
You may like Unfamiliar Family. A show about families, regular people with everyday problems and pretty good acting - Han ye ri from Minori is one of the leads. Very different story from MLN and of course the writing is not this level (not many shows are), but a very good series. Another fantastic show is On the Verge of Insanity. Very different story again but is about regular folks and is hilarious (not slapstick).
This is the only ending a drama like this could have got. Glad the writer stayed consistent throughout the series. This drama was soooo close to reality and when in real life do we see everything working out for everyone magically? This ending had hope and happiness for the characters we have come to know and I loved that.
BTW, this is the 1st time ever that I have really appreciated an open ending for a drama.
Episode 14 was a master class in writing, direction and acting! Even the side characters are so good in their roles.
This is the first drama in forever that I do not worry about what is coming next. I trust the writer and want to see where she takes us. No matter if it is happy or sad, I think I will be able to accept it just by how she has crafted her story so far.
So glad this is a pre produced drama……no worries about the story being changed by the higher ups to suit what they think the audiences will want, no 2 episode extensions that invariably spoil the original story. Happy that our writer was able to tell the story she wanted to.

Glad to see Kang ki young again…..loved him in Terius behind me.
