11Ep wasn't enough thats why the story felt a bit rushed. Netflix was so stupid not to make this serie a 16 or even 20 episodes. the production crew tried their best to wrap the story up with the little time that was given them

Netflix are just annoying. I mean you have enough money to make high budget movies every now and then, but to make the subtitles of a non English speaking serie to be accurate is their problem?

This drama's episodes rating always amaze me compared to the overall rating. Like not a single episode is rated below 9.0 😅

Indeed! Also I heared she rejected this upcoming tvN drama "Head over Heels" (she was first casted as the female lead), then she decided to do last summer instead. So refusing that drama and choosing to do this one; it mean something must have drawn her to this script. But then, we just have to wait and see how it turns out

Exactly. The drama had a lot to tell, alot to expand and flesh out, alot of backstory for the characters that they didn't have time to show. They did their best to compile everything into 11 eps though. Netflix should just have given them enough time

12Eps! This should be a 16 or 20Eps serie. Netflix did the drama dirty

She made a huge mistake by agreeing to be a lead role in a kdrama while she was just still coming up in acting. I think the pressure from the backlash she got in the impossible heir was overwhelming, at some point, people started abusing her through hate comments. That's totally wrong and wont wish it on anyone. She is still young with a big career ahead, she has all the time to grow, master her craft and I believe she has gone on a long hiatus after impossible heir to reflect on herself and improve on her acting (possibly maybe she is currently taking acting classes) . So let's give her a chance, every great actor/actress always starts from somewhere. She will eventually get there

Thank God she has gone back to start taking support role (she should build herself like that little by little) I think the pressure from the backlash she got in the impossible heir was overwhelming, at some point, people started abusing her through hate comments.

A sensitive story indeed. Truth is, it was even done well in the drama; showing Jaeyi confused, lost, disgusted with herself and wanting to run away when she noticed she was falling for the man who she at one point slightly believe to be her brother ( I said slightly cause she was never 100% convinced) was a a very brilliant move by the writer and director . If they should have done it as explicit as it was in the novel or webtoon, I guess some people will actually faint watching 😁😄.

The drama is a very sensitive drama that depicts what we rarely see in a kdrama, heavy, dark and sensitive themes. So it takes those with strong heart to get pass those little sensitive parts of the drama to see the broader message of the entire show

I get you dear. But as much as films are made to escape reality, at the same time, films are also made to depict reality. So it's all about going for the one that suits your taste.

Really? The major complain about this drama is that it doesn't have enough episodes though

'The rest of the cast isnt that impressive' you got to be kidding me! Don't be too overwhelmed by the main lead that you can't notice and appreciate others that did great too. Lee jaewook was phenomenal as always, but ignoring the incredible performance of the rest of the cast like Kim Jaewook, Uhm ji won and Jo bo ah is a crime.

Lee jaewook was perfect in his role, same as Kim jaewook, Uhm Ji won and Jo bo ah

Yes they cut alot of scenes. The male lead actor even said it in an interview.

You don't have to trust someone to watch a drama though. It all depends if it's your type of drama and if you were able to relate to it. No drama in this world is liked by anyone, there must be some people that it wasn't their type of drama. So watch it and see for yourself if you like it or not

GV?

Oh those dramas written by the writer were not good?

See. The only thing wrong with this drama was lack of enough episodes. if the plot feels a bit rushed or not enough backstory, it was because Netflix was so stupid to give such a rich drama only 11 ep. The fact that people are still calling this drama a masterpiece despite Netflix not giving them time to fully explore and flesh out the plot and characters goes a long way to tell you how good this drama is and the greater impact it could have had than this if Netflix didn't fucking did them dirty

Exactly my take. Netflix butchered what could have been a global phenomenon. This drama could have had more impact and become more succesful than this if it was explicitly utilized. How can Netflix come across such a rich and unconventional script and still fucked up. What were they even thinking that this dark and heavy story could be effectively forged into 11 episodes. How I wish dear Hongrang was produced by tvN or SBS

Alright I've been coming across comment on Jo bo ah as regards this drama and it so pisses me off. Its okay not to like an actor or actress. It's fine, you must not like all of them. It's also okay not to like their acting in a previous or past project of theirs. (this is my first Jo bo ah drama, so I may not know how she performed in her past drama). But saying Jo bo ah did not do well in acting in this particular drama is totally absurd, nobody in their honest mind will say that woman didn't snapped in this drama. The way she played her character and conveyed all emotions so perfectly was a joy to watch. Out of the main leads, personally there are 4 people that stood out performance wise, Lee jaewook, Jo bo ah, Kim jaewook and Uhm ji won. Pls let's try and be giving this actor/actresses their flowers when due and not talk down on them unecesarily

Oh I guess I misinterpreted,. Sorry about that
