Wow that's a lot.I knew that Lee Joongi was orginially slated as the lead, but I didn't realize Lee Minho was…
Lee JoonGi is a fantastic actor and would have done very well in the role, but he was suddenly requested to do his military service and his request to be allowed to finish his current slated projects was denied. I am all for working even while married, but I hate when an actor/actress demands a role bend for their personal preferences at the cost of the production. Kim Hee Sun could get action roles, family roles, or almost anything yet she keeps choosing to do romance despite her 'no kiss scenes' policy.
The story is about Yook Dong Shik who was treated like pushover, getting stomped on by everyone at work. When…
If I remember correctly most things took place in a area that naturally wouldn't have CCTVs like construction sites, companies with shady policies, poor neighborhoods, defunct hospitals, bathrooms etc...
I am a fan of this genre and in EVERY time travel show I've seen there are plot holes and not very thoroughly…
I would love a kdrama to tackle scientifically sound time travel, but alas. I settle for somewhat sound plots like Signal (It's actually very well written) and Tunnel (not as good as signal, but worth a watch.)
This was my first ever Kdrama which led me to start watching other. Not only have I watched it multiple time I…
The convoluted writing and product placement are what killed it for a lot of people. But I have to admit after stepping away from it for a sec I noticed that those were basically the only issues. It just needed a new writer.
I'm kinda confused why I liked it... I think I found the idea behind it intriguing, the cinematography was beautiful…
I wish you could have been there for the ride it was to watch live. I agree with the cinematography and OST being beautiful. TBH I view this as a case of Incredible production value for a cruddy script.
I will just use this post to collect my thoughts throughout the show, without spoilers. :DI started this show…
I literally can't even remember the villain's motive, but I fell hard for him watching this when it aired. I was about 15 at the time so that checks. I still have a soft spot for Sung Joon despite his inability to play different characters (granted I've only seen 4 of his projects), it's always just him in different outfits. I vaguely remember being like "Wait... then who is left to be our mystery villain, there is really only the main leads and.... NOOO" like 10 minutes before the reveal.
I'm definitely in the opposition, but the main reason is because either the drama or the fans mistake 'romance' for 'love'. And since the Romance genre is: A. cliche crush material, and B. filled with toxic relationships, I get perturbed.... I honestly just wish more romance focused stories wouldn't treat their characters like five year olds who act like it's the end of the world when there's a misunderstanding. And I wish misunderstandings weren't the main source of conflict because there are a HECK TON of reasons a couple may not see eye-to-eye. Ex: doesn't want kids, want to live in different places, differing speech patterns, differing hygiene standards, family/loyalty, AND SO MUCH MORE
I understand couples generally are very lovey dovey (even some who are more callous before the relationship), I myself found myself in a very cutesy relationship, but the lack of more than that often is frustrating. There are so many cute gestures that are simple, practical, and a sign of deeper affection that kdramas usually miss. My favorite example is in "Flower of Evil" when Do Hyun Su tells his friend to make his wife a cup of coffee, specifically sweet, so she can focus. The character actually pays attention to his wife's likes, dislikes, habits, and knows how to accommodate her to be her best self.. soooo many married couples in dramas simply live together without much more than physical affection to show they are married.
I like romance as a genre, I hate the romance genre... It's not that I think all romances should be my way, it's that I think most in the romance genre are very shallow and would like to see more that aren't.

I knew that Lee Joongi was orginially slated as the lead, but I didn't realize Lee Minho was the third choice.
I def agree this shouldn't be tagged thriller.
He should probably see a therapist for that XD
