I mainly use the app to navigate MDL, but the last few days my app seems to have messed up the trending list. It's all out of whack and has none of the right dramas as top trending and instead puts a bunch of older, popular ones up lime they're trending (but I they're not). Anyone else noticed this, or am I the only one seeing it? 🤔 I'm just trying to figure out if it's an app glitch (they do happen fairly often 😅).
I'm at episode 3 now and I'm not really feeling it as a "too good" drama as the reviews suggest. Does it get better…
I think I liked when they were high schoolers and children best, but I did appreciate getting to see more healing and reconciliation between some characters later on.
Imo, HSL didn't focus enough on the players and their camaraderie and focused more on the political side of the sport (which is why I liked Racket Boys better). Curious to see what this feels like!
I hope this does better than Divorce Insurance. Mobster shows/films are usually either really good or really garbage.…
If it's Disney or Netflix (don't know who's releasing this), they'll probably go for the Big Mouth and Worst of Evil type mobster drama (dark and gritty); I've noticed most older (more traditional? Released by networks) Kdramas not made by international production companies (or partnered with them), tend to do a lot of gimmicky mobsters in dramas. I kind of like the bumbling mobsters with Hawaiian t-shirts, paunchy stomachs, and chain necklaces and a few tats. At least I prefer them over the grittier takes on them.
I'm honestly kind of intrigued by the pairing. Lee Dong Wook does lighthearted and comedic (but also serious) well, and so does the actress playing the FL. I'd be curious to see their dynamic.
I don't think this ends with him dying, it just doesn't feel like that kind of show to me. He very likely has…
This all checks out, and I think your pulse is good. If he does have punch-drunk syndrome (I put this on hold for a bit until I see how it progresses/ends, so I don't know if it's been confirmed yet), then it is an incurable condition from what I've seen. It can't be treated, only managed (and that's if you're no longer... getting punched 😬. Kind of a no-brainer, though, haha).
Have you watched Encounter with SHK?? The kisses they had are amazing...
As much as I'd love to think his innocent, sweet boy persona is real, I know better. 😏 This is why I'm never surprised when I hear about celebrity scandals and everyone gets so shocked. I honestly assume they're all shady due to the money, power and fame, and the good ones are the exceptions to the rule, not the other way around. "But in the behind the scenes they're so wholesome!" "They're so nice and down to earth in the interviews!" 🤔 They're actors, so of course they look sweet as pie in interviews and such; they get more money and attention and fame if people like them and THINK they're nice and sweet. 😅
Sidenote: Bogum's hair in Encounter in the first few episodes was lovely. He looked good in long hair!
I like your theory, though! 😉
