He's hot in Good News. I can't stop staring at him.

They did the same stupid shit with Squid Games' ending. No one wants an American spinoff. Americans were watching the originals just fine. It's so lazy and a cash grab.

Anybody know where I can watch this in the US with English subs? Netflix Korea doesn't offer English subs. :( I found one site but it only gives you 14/16 episodes and makes you pay for the rest.

I-ji needs to grow a backbone. I'm exhausted watching her tolerate mistreatment and blame her failures on Ga-ram.

Sometimes I wonder if people define "chemistry" just by visual compatibility. There was no chemistry between the main leads. It felt forced and awkward. And it would've been too on the nose of a higher-up dating a direct subordinate. And ML spent most of the time missing and mourning his marriage with the ex-wife than he ever did being curious about Hyo-min. It wasn't until the last 1-2 episodes did he even remotely consider her as a potential partner, and still dismissed it the moment he was confronted with it. FL clearly is physically attracted to him in a very superficial way but it doesn't seem like there was much emotional attraction there. And certainly not worth pushing/exploring when he's her boss. 2nd couple had way more chemistry/compatibility hence it worked out. You could tell it was undeniable that 2ML was crushing on Min-jeong, dropping all the clues. It was also clear they had a personal connection that could be explored beyond friendship the moment one of them triggered it, in this case it was 2ML.

Not every drama needs to have a stereotypical ending.

I'm on episode 6 and everything was going good until they put this woman in a fat suit. No way. It looks comical. They could have and should have come up with any other back story than this.

I think the plot would be stronger if the glasses were not used as a plot device to pass this ability onto others. I worry no sufficient explanation will be given in the remaining 4 episodes as to who created them, when, why, and how they landed with the first character we were introduced to with them. It's easier to write off a supernatural ability because you can suspend disbelief from that plot point better.

I really enjoyed it. Call me crazy but I think it's possible to whip up 1 or 2 more seasons with a different set of characters. I think it shouldn't tire out if the same effort is put in.

My assumption was that the deportation process always sends you back to whatever country you entered from. And by that logic, if he was undocumented in China with a confirmed North Korean identity, what stops China from furthering deporting him back to NK?? So I get the desperation to not go to China and put at least one country between myself and the home country I just escaped from. I don't see this as a politically motivated choice.

It was going well but in the last third of the movie it just accelerated like the director felt they were running out of time to wrap it up. Also, the "dark underworld" arch of Marie's story was odd. Of all the dark shit you think she could fall into... gambling in a controlled shooting contest is like child's play. It just didn't sell me on being a dark and gritty underworld Marie was ensnared in. These were the only problems with the movie. Otherwise a solid story of survival.

The same issue happened to me. The beginning doesn't make it clear (didn't see captions either) that we were already getting previews of 1995 mixed in with 2023 until Eun Gyeol actually went back. And it was made doubly confusing because of Seol Inah's character in particular. But it eventually cleared up and carried on.

Is that really Hyun Wook singing in Ep 4? It's not the kind of voice I'd expect him to have.

For real. They give high ratings to shows a high schooler could do a better job of writing but give poor ratings to actually decent shows. Makes no sense.

I bawl every time the pets come up 🥹

Agree. I don't think I'm gonna like it without Suho in the picture. I rather a continuation that included Suho's path with Sieun's, even if their paths would be separated for some time before a reunion.

Money bag? I think you're confusing that scene with the bullies he befriended. I don't think Suho ever asked him nor anyone for money. At most he just asked for people to eat dinner with him or to ride to work with him. But he definitely didn't care about getting money out of others. He didn't even want Beomseok to pay off the thugs from the first half.

This. He truly was just jealous of Suho. He was cool without being a bully, so at best people liked him and at worst, people knew not to fxck with him. Perfect setup and Beomseok hated that he wasn't like that himself. And he read into things that weren't serious... like Suho not following him back or taking pics with Sieun. The boy was barely on IG with only 6 pics to his account.

Agree. There were too many chances he was given to just vent and explain what he was feeling and he refused to. Both Sieun and Suho tried to help him out and he just rejected it. He even projected his insecurities onto Suho, who was right about him. Beomseok rejected their trio because he so badly wants to be "cool" and "popular" and thinks the bullies own that persona. And he's jealous of Suho having clout without being a bully. Suho is what Beomseok wanted to be but failed to do. Shame.

I was so excited for this show but absolutely required insane levels of disbelief suspension. Even the plan to hide the killer questions inside people's bodies was overkill. These TEENS were DEALING DRUGS via social media DMs. How the fxck was that safe and secure but one question from a CSAT required TWO SURGERIES to get out of their carriers??????

No way. No fxckin' way. And you can't even have a reasonable discussion because people take every critique as a personal slight rather than at face value.

Stans really need to get a life. Y'all are unpaid internet warriors for a man who doesn't know nor care that you exist. Relax and stop policing everyone's opinions.

Anyway, the movie is alright. Not award nor buzz worthy. Its appeal is straying from what is assumed to be the limits of most Korean entertainment. We're watching Korean immigrants in another country and for once, it isn't the US or Europe but Latin America. That's honestly its main selling point and exactly why they titled it Bogotá.

The story is a bit flat. It leaves characters and their relationships with each other unclear. Motivations unclear. Time jumps with no clear backfill on how we got here and why this time period is important. I left feeling like I was watching a slice of life film but instead of the typical "coming of age" or "monotony of life" kind of story, we got a crime boss in a foreign country. Slice of life dramas are usually plotless and more about the character experiencing random events. That's what this kinda felt like. A blip in the 10 years of Kook-hee's life in Colombia.
