I also recommend the movie “Spellbound” for the ML. I didn’t realize he could be funny.

Well, happy birthday to you too!

And then there’s this… after watching SG, it now made sense.

Same here. Fortunately’ afterwards, I found a three hour run of “The Andy Griffith Show” on ME/TV to help me readjust.

So far there have been only 2 K-Dramas that I’ve searched for the OST. The first is “Because This is My First Life” and the second is “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay.”
I became a fan of Melomance, Elaine Kim, and Janet Suhh because of them.

Having seen the movie, I did find the drama lacking. There is a talent to editing and storytelling that has to be compressed into 90+ minutes rather than drawing it out to 16+ hours. But, I agree, some of the added fluff (OST, background, etc.) made the series a work of its own.

That’s what a good OST does. You don’t really notice it but it sets a mood. Even in the end credits, the music helps you decompress what you just saw.
Seeing the internal struggles that Ahn Joon Ho is experiencing and how the underlying music plays into it made me think the director has studied Martin Scorsese. Elements of the first 2 episodes gave me some of the same vibes I had from watching Scorsese’s “Bringing Out the Dead”.

There are tabs for “Cast”, “Episdode”, etc… why not add one for “OST”?

MDL lists 16 episodes but Viki has 20 (only 3 are watchable unless you upgrade to prime level).
Why the disparity?

First question: Why are most of these actors from Thailand? Is there a local market for these kind of dramas.
Second question: How many of these actors are truly bi/gay and are comfortable with themselves enough to take these roles rather than seeing it as another paycheck?

I never considered Korean movies (or any Asian movies) until I stumbled onto this movie on an obscure cable channel available on my iPad. I was at work alone, bored and started watching it. Ultimately, I locked the doors, cut off the phone and watched it twice that day. Now I watch K-dramas more than American broadcast shows.

Her voice and music from “It's Okay to Not Be Okay” is still mesmerizing to me.

This may depend on the home life for each reviewer but how likely are you to rewatch your favorite drama over starting into a new unknown one?

If you haven’t watched historical dramatic movies before, I’d recommend “Hero”.

So what’s the deal with people sleeping with all the room lights on? Is this normal for Koreans or just KDramas?

Does anyone know if there’s a difference between the Netflix subtitles and the Viki subtitles?

“Payakka” sounds like an old American movie from the 80’s called “Ladyhawke”.

The seven deadly sins aren’t necessarily biblical but are Dante’s interpretation as written in his book “Inferno”.

The OST wrapped me in.

I completely agree about the music. It was one of the first things I noticed.
Oh Jung Se should be awarded for his acting.
