Good Grief

Yes, as are we. We are not answering a question, we probably though we were joining a pondering. As in a public pondering is often times free to join in. Good luck with this. Cheers.

Global availability may also be in play. Spooky in Love is for example available in N-Europe, while not so much as one episode of s1 or 2 of flex x has been made available to us. The international availability probably also factors in.

Holy crap, that was a long scroll to get to the comments. My favorite Korean grandma.

Yeah, but I wasn't referring to the difference in demographics. I meant that mdl ratings and tv viewership ratings are measuring completely different things, so they aren't really comparable as ratings.

That's because mdl ratings are based on crowdsourced scores from international viewers, while these are domestic TV viewership ratings based on the number of people watching the show in Korea. Totally different things.

This English language fan site may have an oversampling of non native Korean members.

i am ignoring the plot holes (both scar and him being giddy up after almost dying) for the sake of their chemistry, him being walking comedy and on the other side srsly smitten with her 🤭

I laughed at it too 🤣

and where is his heart transplant scar... Love it anyway

I don't understand how one minute he was lying down with blood on his face and being rescued and the next minute he appeared in front of her well dressed like he did not just got banged by a car just moments ago??! Shouldn't he be resting on the hospital bed?????

The imperfect male lead is a perfect male lead, to me. Like, he's so human, just an ordinary person, "reachable", realistic, relatable.

i love how different he is from the usual korean ML stereotype. He is like that in most of the drama i saw him acting in He is relatable and a great actor.

I might be biased but idk, i'm ignoring all the obvious plot holes and just happily enjoying the leads chemistry. It's been a while since i found a kdrama that i can enjoy purely without being nitpicky. Somehow i don't even mind that yang se jong wasn't looking like the picture perfect male lead; like, he looks tired and unkempt 50% of the time but it makes sense! Overworked government worker do tend to look like that 😅

One of the best kdrama right now

First time in a drama where they are pretending to be engaged while having feelings..and all the other characters know that it is fake..🤣
