I also tried adding Pinggyego once and got rejected, but at the same time there are so many other youtube shows I saw listed here... so maybe we were just unlucky with Pinggyego :(

I'm glad this is here though...

I think because there's something about the movie... I am not sure how to put it in words, but watching it at the same time I felt it's restrained, sombre and distant. I can imagine it could feel flat or boring to some. But for others who find artistry in this approach, it will be immersive and intense. I think it's just that kind of movie. :)

I was also happy to see it got awards for cinematography and best movie :)

It aired at the same time as Baeksang awards so that might have contributed. Curious to see how it does today!

Thanks for the kind reply, and I understand your point too! :)

I also noticed that about the styling! The visuals are so pleasant and fit with the lighter tone, same as the OST ^^

Why would a kiss be an essential ingredient at all? I personally enjoy slowburn.
And it’s more realistic here. They’re both responsible adults working together and they’ve just met. They’ve also both been hurt in the past and it calls for some caution and hesitation. I like how this was portrayed in the drama. :)

Exactly. This is more slice of life dealing with some realistic life/love issues spiced up with some silliness. But it seems people expected classic genre rom com. I think the PR was a bit misleading. :))

I agree it took some tome for the show to find its tone so the beginning felt a bit uneven, but it’s a light, heartwarming watch for me, that also has me ponder some things about relationships, so I’m enjoying it.

Hmm if this helps, I actually liked it more and more as it went on, when they toned down the comedy (imo) and focused more on softer emotional moments.

The cinematography in this one is pure work of art. I had high expectations for this from the promo shots, and it did not disappoint - in fact some scenes even surpassed it.

The atmosphere conveys calm determination. The frequent exchange of scenes in the first half did feel a bit like browsing through events, but things intensify midway through the movie and ultimately I could feel the weight of the story. Simple but memorable, really gets you thinking about the mindset of the people who dedicated everything to the goal of independence.

But I thought on Flixpatrol the numbers look good for a k drama? (many top spots in southeast asia etc)

Thank you! Yay :)
And I know… I skipped on Sweet Home because promos looked gory.

How scary is Happiness? And what kind of scary (is it very gory?) I want to watch it but I’m hesitant since I don’t watch horror normally.

Agree, and it's a breath of fresh air to see a positive comment.
(except I also like Na Rae, as in I see her as flawed but not a bad person, and I feel like her character has grown during show.)

I feel some things could've been done differently perhaps, but I still appreciate it being fresh and atypical in some ways. Once it settled its tone to humane and emotional with subtle buildup, I really got sucked in and find it quite lovely. :)

yes, this bothered me too... although I also wonder if she's not saying it because she knows it would make no difference and they'd still tell her to put up with it :(
from what we've seen of them, it's not unlikely

Yay! That’s what I wanted to tell you but I didn’t want to write any spoilers. But I hope it was worth it for you at least to see that episode since it was sooo good. :D

Oh, I see, then if you’re not enjoying the present time scenes I can see how that can make it difficult. (I enjoyed both timelines) But it’s cool that you’re trying :)

Keep watching, trust me it’s worth it, especially if those dramas are your taste! for me it’s one of his faves along with Bad and Crazy. :)

It was confirmed on their social accounts the drama will be released globally on Amazon Prime Video.

Lee Sang Yi as a fencer?
Niceee
