The writer and director don't have any notable dramas or a great track record... so, probably a pass unless people say it's good after it's done airing. I get more and more skeptical of dramas landing these days. Only some writers/directors are able to nail it, and they usually are the ones with successful, well-liked dramas under their belt. I find myself sticking to those writers or directors more because I'm not as worried I'll waste my time.
I don't expect this to happen but it would be so cool if they got together now and just road out whatever rollercoaster…
That would be defying the Kdrama formula, but I think it'd be interesting if they tried it! I just think Kdrama writers have always struggled with how to write couples once they're dating. All the tension and buildup is gone, which is why they throw in all the angst in the last 1/3 of the drama. 😪
This drama is very interesting mainly because of the fight scenes.I have only Watch two drama that features…
I thought he acted up a storm in both of SSS and JOL, so I have to disagree that anyone could act as well as him. But the characters are indeed similar (same writer for both dramas).
The leads are doing a great job (both HIY and HRI are doing well; the nitpicks against HIY feel unnecessary). Curious to see how they'll extend the story for 12 episodes since the leads seem to be patching things up fairly quickly. We'll see!
That said, I do think BSC is doing a very good job. I deeply disliked Inspector Koo, but if I had a favorite character, it'd have to be his role of Santa. And here, he's doing well with the nuance and building tension with the 2FL, and I'm really liking him. (He also bulked up? He looks less dweeby/twiggy and more heartthrob now, which I'm sure was intentional.😅).
Korean trucks have no breaks or are driven by blind people 🤣🫣🙄
They must also be driven by ghosts because they never seem to be held accountable for killing or almost killing people!
This trope is up there with some of the most nonsensical dramaland tropes, like nosebleeds to indicate someone is overworked (or dying), spitting blood (when shot or in a fist fight), and feeling a woman's pulse to see if she's pregnant. 😅
The White Truck Of Doom is unique to Kdramaland, though. Haven't seen it appear in Cdramas. (I feel like people not dying falling off of cliffs is the costume Cdrama trope equivalent of the White Truck Of Doom in Kdramas 😅).

I had fun reading your review, by the way! You write thoughtfully and skillfully.
