If that doesn't work, go to the The Double drama page and ask in the comment thread there. people that frequent the page will know where to direct you. :)

Have you seen any of his other dramas?

Oh, I haven't seen NiF yet, but I'm going to at some point. I'll try to look for stuff like this once I do!

Yes, I think so, too. I think the one caveat to what you said with the employees in this show is that because all/most are ex-cons, they can't find work elsewhere quite as easily as the average person, since the market is already competitive and if you are considering a person without a record vs. one with a record, there's no question about who will be chosen. That makes them a little less free to shop around and look for opportunities which might make them put up with stuff they shouldn't in a job that DOES accept them. However, I don't think Ji Hwan ever abuses his power as their CEO, and only ever tried to give them the best and pushed them to become their best. He can still push them do be better AND be a good boss.

I mean, what kind of boss (or leader/authority figure of any kind) accepts mediocrity, lack of growth, zero attempts to innovate, complacency, and lets you do whatever you want? A bad boss.

Did you see him in Tomorrow? He was good in that drama!

I've heard Daily Motion had it posted as a few week ago or so. That's where I watched it.

I agree that it could have been done much better, for sure! I think the actors did the best they could with what they had to work with. :)

Kim So Hyun doesn't seem that picky about her roles, and until Castaway Diva (which aired before this but was filmed before), Chae Jong Hyeop was only a lead a few times in smaller dramas (Love All Play, Unlock My Boss), so I imagine he'll be able to pick better projects moving forward.

Yeah, but that's just still not a fair criticism; I read what children write for a living, and it's much, much worse. 😂

I liked when he was flirting with her to find out if he was her crush. Oh my gosh, he made her so flustered and giddy. Watching him delight in making her squirm with giddy confusion was the highlight of the drama for me!

1. I think @biased pointed out that South Korea's prosecutors ARE like detectives. They can investigate and do what the West would consider "police work." It makes law dramas fascinating because their emphasis is so different from legal shows in the U.S.!

2. Rude? How?

3. Ji Hwan's morals and compassion are what makes everyone in the story love and admire him, though? And if he accepted his workers for who they were, they would still be frauds and making poor decisions and self-sabotaging, etc. They are choosing to work for him because he reminds them they deserve a better life than that. I liked that he reminded them how they had messed up and so "deserve" the poor treatment they receive from people in one sense, but his area of weakness was thinking that he had less VALUE because of his mistakes and didn't deserve to be happy (which is ironically something he can't get for himself but reminds his employs about all the time). That was a part of his arc and something he needed to realize was false.

If you like fluffy rom-coms with good chemistry, aren't super nit-picky about minor plotholes and don't mind some fantasy/time-travelling elements, then you'll probably love this!

I wish he would start a blog instead and find a different readership, one that will be more supportive of his "poop flinging."

And does he really have that much time to waste? Most of us don't have the kind of luxury that makes our lives so chill, that our free time can be devoted to unpleasant past times that amount to "poop."

That was banter, I don't think any of the last minute Visa talk was serious (in my opinion, at least).

The actor caught my eye in My Perfect Stranger. He was a disappointment in Hierarchy (I never even added it to my watch list because I'm ashamed I watched it, it was so bad), but this performance was much more on par with his performance in My Perfect Stranger. He also stands out, features-wise, too!

I'm kind of curious to see what kind of Kdrama ChatGPT would write... I don't imagine it could do much unless it had better access to scripts than just what's posted on the internet.

"Written by a child for children," seems a little too hyberbolic. The writing did feel more like a web drama at times than a network drama (e.g. I think of Love Revolution, which was cute but not a top-tier script because the story was about high schoolers but they never showed a single parent in the drama, which made no sense and a few kids lived alone in apartments? Weird. It just didn't land solidly enough in reality to convince.) and does have a simple plot and not very well-developed characters with clunky pacing, but I don't think it was quite as terrible as you make it sound. It's certainly nothing special, but I've seen much worse.

I never look at reviews and always go by comments, rating and number of watchers. ☺️

Yeah, some people can't do the domestic abuse as it's too triggering. I get it! Episodes 5, 7 and 11 are my favorites after Episode 1, which is by far the most powerful. I think Eun Bin did a great job, though the accent is a little distracting, since in Kdramas we're used to the Seoul accent!

True, the screenwriting is far and away better for CD. Good point! He probably had more to work with. :)

Yeah, it's been several months now and the rating shows no sign of dropping yet, but the number of watchers steadily grows each week. Most dramas drop at least a point within days of it finishing, so those two details prove this drama has become quite beloved by many who watch it.

Don't understand the extreme negativity in the reviews either. 🤷‍♀️
