1st episode I almost drop it. 2nd episode I am hook. Thanks to Song Jong Ki. He has that cute, charming, attractive…
I like to call this type of drama a 'prologue' drama. Because usually dramas don't do much set up, usually less than an episode and only used to set up some silly chance meeting between the leads. Whereas this one and a few others (like gu family book) take a good chunk of time to establish something not directly in the main leads life, but relevant back story and worldbuilding. One of the strengths of this is that later the whole birth secrets and everything don't feel contrived because we know exactly how it came to be.
LOL 13days ago, i had suspected the M leader called "TEACHER" could be Park Jin Gyeom from the FUTURE! And it…
This drama seems to have forgotten that that is a common time travel trope that TKEM, which is in the running for this year's most popular drama, pulled that just 5 months earlier. We all rolled our eyes then as well.
Fake out incest, a clingy second lead, and a relationship that ended at the beginning of the show, so not really.
Haven't tried bridal mask. I also have a very hard time watching medical dramas, even hospital playlist which is an absolute gem. I dropped yong pal mid ep two, I liked the concept and the introduction of the character but it got disappointing real fast.
You mean his attributes is that of a second lead? ^^
Yeah, it's really nice. When my fam started watching dramas it was the norm and so I refused to watch them. I hate the idea that just because the lead is acting nice now that they shouldn't have to apologize and can be mean to others than the other main. I think the change is partly due to the stronger emphasis on mental health in recent years and partly feminist culture in Korea. That said I've started seeing kdramas that mistake absolute witches for 'badass' female characters.
The doctor character is cringe and it's awful to watch
yeah, I'm normally okay with "I've liked (character) from afar but haven't told them" but this is a whole nother level of creepy. Especially since she has no idea he has any relation to her ex, and (at least in america) there are laws about getting involved with patients that he is bending/breaking.
It did get leaked. I see it on avistaz. Thanks for the heads up lol
I like the experience of watching live and the lack of subtitles. The commercial breaks are mini breaks for snacks, and since I've treated it like a game since I was young. Also I live in Korea, so I get it faster than my friends (who don't have those channels) in most cases, also commercial breaks are different here. What I've read about America's commercial slots is CRAZY (1), here non-cable channels aren't allowed commercials during the show but are between the intro and the next time on, this is what caused the trend of splitting 1 hour ep into two 30 minute eps for many of the channels. Being at college has limited my ability to watch my shows regularly.
(1): Commercial breaks have become longer. In the 1960s a typical hour-long American show would run for 51 minutes excluding advertisements. Today, a similar program would only be 42 minutes long; a typical 30-minute block of time now includes 22 minutes of programming and eight minutes of advertisements – six minutes for national advertising and two minutes for local.
