Thank you for answering!

Question:
I'm debating between 3 different airing dramas at the moment. Is this filled with lots of unreasonable angst or is it more on the lighter side?

My point was about the way the data is collected, just by looking at the ratings for each age bracket the total should be well above what we see on the main page...8.71-9.19. It should be closer to a 9 not 8.2.

The ending could have been longer and more detailed, otherwise, It was a memorable journey, one I am sad to see end.

It's lighthearted, heart-wrenching, and heartwarming the couple has to endure a lot of past and present challenges together as a result of an accident in episode 1. Still, I highly recommend it. One of the most touching c- dramas I have seen to date. You may need some tissues on hand.

You can always goggle translate the synopsis of the written description of the next episode for better clarity on what is coming....https://www.fujitv.co.jp/renaimangaka/story/story08.html

Originally, The unsubbed version could be found on Chinese-based platforms on Sun and Mon, while Netflix is releasing the subbed version on Tue. It may be different this week since the number of episodes released has been cut in half each week. It looks like MGTV will release 4 on Tue like Netflix this week.

It has only been subbed up to 9 by subbers via YOYO ENGLISH Channel and that is the fastest for human-made subs.
YOYO FUN STATION on YT has 9 subbed, but it's computer-generated by google translate
The subs are released 1 episode per day on
YOYO ENG CHANNEL Thursday - Sunday, 1 episode per day at 20:30 (GMT+0800), YOYO FUN STATION subs are released Tuesday to Friday at 12 o'clock (GMT+8)
VIKI also has subbers working on this drama, but they are also delayed by several days.
They have up to 8 completed.

It's identical. The only difference is where the story starts and stops in each episode. The Youtube episodes run longer, thus the fewer total in the series.

I don't understand the rating system. It seems like it should be higher based on the data collected.... https://kisskh.at/50135-the-imperial-coroner/statistics

Me also. I felt like it got better as I watched it.

I liked Introverted boss. It wasn't perfect, I still enjoyed watching the two extreme opposite manifestations of trauma balance one another out. I'd watch again in the distant future on along flight if nothing else was available. There are many more dramas I could add to my frustration list.
The rest of your list I couldn't agree more with you on.

No, it is not comedy, I don't care for those either. I am not a fan of historical c-dramas.
IMO the story is 70% mystery/detective story and 30% romance. Personally, I don't find the romance aspect a slow burn, rather an even-paced (sweet) addition to the script. It's just more on the innocent and caring side, I am not bored with their relationship, I feel like it fits the story and the nature of the characters well.
Anyway, I find this drama both engaging and charming. It may be one of my favorite c-drama of the year, so I won't hesitate to suggest you give it a try. If you don't enjoy it you can always drop it.

The YoYo Fun Station page Peach Blossom suggested only offer google translated auto-generated subs. You will find lots of confusing phrases and errors. I guess if you don't mind those it's not an issue.

However...Professionally done subs should be a big improvement, though they are a bit slower coming out.
Up until ep 7 is done on so far on the YOYO ENGLISH channel on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVhL4CGmono&list=PLTB73Ibi_X3F4akxkDk4cR6WEd_Hv4HdB

Yes.

I know. I am not even a cat person (allergies) and I was heartbroken. :(

LOL Right! I'm trying to get used to it, but it's testing my endurance a bit.

There are way to many other dramas out there unsubbed and in need of fan subber. It's being professionally subbed by WeTV and Viki volunteers, it wouldn't be logical for someone else to invest their time on it. We will just have to wait until next week for the drama to be completed.

And good editing!
