Good Grief

🤣🤣🤣 Love your comment, really intelligently funny 😍

Nope, not buying it.

Episode 30 is nothing but bunch of lazy entertainment writing where intelligent people become dumb as a rock in an instance.

Right? Way too unreal, especially in this day and age. 😂

Episode 30, around 15:45, reminds me of silent era exaggerations. 😒

Good grief, it's year 2026, vast majority people know these things don't happen in real life. Really wish Chinese and South Korean dramas would stop these nonsense scenes.

Awesome! Thanks.

Sorry, don't remember. It was mentioned here in the comments about some controversies about the original actor. That is why they replaced him after the production was completed from what I vaguely remember.

Not familiar with the issues, just what I read here in the comments. I stated facts, didn't write anything negative. But, if I did offend you, then I apologize.

The editing of the replacement actor, Li Xin Ze for the Wang Ruo Hai character looks like a rush job. It looks like the technology they would have used 40 years ago.

In some scenes his head and body looks so big as if they tried to cover the old actor with it. And, it really is evident that it is an add on, rather than a reshoot. Again, with modern technology addons are not an issue, but here it really does look outdated and hurriedly done.

Also, the voice-over recording sounds really bad. Louder than other voices and deeper with some echoing. Sound very unnatural.

😂😂😂 You are so right. I loved what your explanation. Hope I get to see more of these, both from you and others.

Thank you again. 😊

Thank you for your detailed explanation, very inciteful. From your description I came to understanding that the drama is very loosely based on the novel, as if it is a new novel 😊

Yes, same here in the US. My ex was in dental field so I am a bit familiar with dental issues, not much though.

My older daughter has braces and it wasn't expensive. And, that was some 20 years ago.

No set of teeth are naturally perfect, but I noticed that with Japanese and older Chinese actors crooked teeth were more pronounced. I always wondered the reasons behind it. Was it genetics, diet, etc. or combination of.

LOL, most likely not. That was past life. I started with punch cards 😂

Liked your website and bio. You are one cool person. Good luck with all your ambitions and doings. I am also a naturalized citizen 😊

Liked the first paragraph 😂

I was a coder myself and do understand intricacies of coding, including Oracle database. But, really this change is a simple IF statement. Anyways, like you said, the powers are not interested otherwise they would have made the change long time ago. BTW, the coder is the main person on MDL. He/she decides about the changes.

Thank you for your well thought and written reply.

It's not just the low ratings, but any ratings for unaired episodes, including the "10" ratings. I really do not understand why MDL does not fix it.

How is it possible to rate unaired episodes? It's so annoying besides being unethical. MDL, do better and prevent this practice. Good grief, it's a simple coding fix.

This drama was truly a perfect ten for me. There was not one single moment or scene that I thought I wished it was not there or I needed to fast forward.

For me it felt very realistic. The way they presented the lives and the cases. I never felt there was something that was over the top or unreal.

I really loved the actor Lee Chang Hoon's portrayal of Dr Ryu Jae Hwi character. What a superb actor.

I am actually surprised that this drama doesn't have a higher score. It really should be at least a 9,

Thank you so much for your detailed reply. Much appreciate it.

Thanks. I have it on my list and probably wait till the second, and hopefully final season, comes out.

Thanks. I did not follow thoroughly, so I have no idea the time period. Every culture is different and I do not fault them for the differences. I enjoy variety and appreciate it.

Again, thank you.

Thank you for your reply. I don't remember where I read it. I was wondering the same thing as the OP. I can't remember if I searched it or just happened on an article about it.

Of course not everyone follows a trend. And, maybe that trend is no longer in fashion. However, I do remember it which was a big surprise to me.

I just did a duckduckgo" search:

"In Japan, crooked teeth are often seen as attractive and associated with youthfulness, a trend known as yaeba. This cultural perception contrasts sharply with Western ideals, where straight teeth are typically preferred."

Here's one from Google:

"In Japan, crooked or overlapping teeth—especially upper canines that protrude like fangs—are known as yaeba (八重歯), which literally translates to "double tooth". While crooked teeth are often viewed as a dental defect in the West, yaeba is celebrated in Japan as a symbol of youthfulness, natural beauty, and approachability."
