there is exact series - High School Return of a Gangster

This movie is the movie version - a short fluffy version - of 8 eps drama High School Return of a Gangster. HSROAG is a lot more substantial, with many complex plots and sideplots, amazing dialogues and character development, and a lot better more complex acting.
This movie is just mostly fun

Then Weak Hero is a cheap copy of HSROAG where only violence is used for the drama and all other components are just ignored.

HSROAG SHOWS DISAGREEMENTS AND FRIENDSHIPS BETWEEN MEN, AND THE DEPTH OF MEN AS COMPLETE HUMAN BEINGS -
AND THE AUDIENCE CALLS IT GAY... omg ... so two men cannot be friends without being accused of being gay... ????

SO THAT IS WHY THE IDEA OF HSROAG WAS STOLEN BUT EXCLUDING MALE FRIENDSHIPS, so that the audience would not get confused.... and so Weak Hearo Class 1 season 1 was made **** just as fights between boys who are totally cemented as human beings ****
THIS CLEAR MESSAGE OF MEN FIGHTING WAS APPEALING TO THE AUDIENCE AND PARK JI HOON BECAME FAMOUS - for not acting... He is only confused, sleepy, or fighting.. there is no other feelings around him.... There is no friendships, talking to other people, RELATING to other people... He is a little robot.

SO JUST the concept of boy fights and bullying was stolen from High School REturn of the Gangster and morphed into Weak Hero Class 1 - season 1, then season 2. and strictly brotherly love and strictly fights, no real plot no character development, no relationships, no acting. Very simple. And ppl loved it bc ppl are used to seeing Hwood simple and cannot see beyond simple.

then Study Group added back some light humor but increased fighting, added girls to the "team, still almost no plot, just fights:
and One High School Heroes went back to just serious fights and all-male bonding and a TINY bit of some character work, like dad-son relationship. That drama has zero gay vibes It is a more violent version of this drama, with a lot more fights and a very bitter confused ML.

THESE DRAMAS ARE ALL VARIATIONS ON THE SAME THEME
and HSROAG and Dude in Me are the only ones worth something, with actual plot and content and character development.

HSROAG has the most character develiopment. Dude in Me shows the gangster, but not the high schooler and is a LOT fluffier just fun plot.

Wow even one different opinion makes you go into this hateful rage..

So I will be very grateful if you REFRAIN from posting personal insults when you have nothing meaningful to say to further the discussion.

In any case, dont waste my time writing hate posts like that.
FAREWELL

Exactly I think the same of you, you dont get it, cannot get it bc of inability to comprehend contraditictions and paradoxes, and you are unwilling to try - partially bc you lack the depth to try

So we agree, never to talk again :)

FAREWELL

yes cut out scenes, bts and dscussions with the cast are all possible
not the real drama :)

Yeah it is actually used to recruit new agents. that is the main purpose
MJ is into it at the end

hey we are talking official ratings here, ok? I just explained WHY the ratings are low

And there you are, very imaturely passively aggressively pursuing your personal agenda and using this post to attack me by defending immature audience and gangs of low-raters.

I am talking business here and you are talking about defending those who low rate.

GET A GRIP, WE ARE IN A BUSINESS DISCUSSION NOW
Well... we were. Please do not write to me anymore ever. I will block you for wasting my time. FAREWELL

Wow Dong Soo actor is so handsome! Not just facial features, but the way he acts, He has attention and focus, his eyes are alive and clear, he is ENERGETIC and expressive. Also, he looks muscular and normal weight person, like a real man.
Who is that? I dont remember seeing him anywhere else

This was filmed before actors went super skinny. Dong Soo looks like a normal man, that is a part of his appeal. Does not look like a plasticized skeleton. He is just too pale and probably ahd some plastic surgery because he has dificulty smiling

wow the pattern - The Dude in Me is a very fun and light movie yet deep warm meaningful with little fights

This drama is the same topic, swapping the body between teenager and gangster, but heavy on fights and violence and machohism - and also ... many ppl say it meanders between brotherly love ad being gay . I do not see it that way. I watched all 8 eps and there is nothing gay there. They are just good friends. Nothing on my radar looks gay, just male friendship. More like an uncle to kids.

At least this drama has CONTENT, it has plot, it has character growth, it has some deep stuff as well as fun as well as fights. It is like ... male world in its different aspects, from gangsters to nice ppl... It shows the emotional side of men regardless of women or chasing work success.

In some ways this kind of totally male oriented drama is necessary, to show that men have emotions without women.
In some ways, this drama is too much as men already rule and "have" the world so dramas is where women escape into fantasy that there is something special for them too

But anyways - this drama SHOWS DISAGREEMENTS AND FRIENDSHIPS BETWEEN MEN, AND THE DEPTH OF MEN AS COMPLETE HUMAN BEINGS -
AND THE AUDIENCE CALLS IT GAY... omg ... so two men cannot be friends without being accused of being gay... ????

This drama has the most. Dude in Me shows the gangster, but not the high schooler.

I am rewatching this bc I mixed it up with Dude in Me. I will rewatch that one too to see, I remember liking that one a lot more than this one. I remember Dude in Me. I dont really remember this one. The plot is a little too thin and there are too many fights

A renowned neurosurgeon is still trained to assess risk, think critically, and make logical decisions under pressure. YES IN HOSPITAL Those cognitive skills don’t suddenly disappear the moment he leaves the hospital. HA HA HA YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT CHASING KIDNAPPERS EVADING POLICE AND HANGING OUT WITH RIF RAF KEEPS PPL CALM AND COMPOSED?

The hospital has wings and floors, he is moving around the area with doctor's offices and operating rooms. Yup that is deserted at night.

As for surveilance system - well ... do you see how police are worth nothing in this drama? The are like that for real. So .. no surprises there

I think overall your expectations are just unrealistic

I haven't seen everything this ML actor did but the little I have seen is extremely good, so complex
His romcom On Your Wedding Day is something I still remember after zillion years.
Walking on Thin Ice, Haunted Palace were great
And Pinnocchio is the very first kdrama I have ever seen! I was glued to the screen all night :)

I think it is fun to shoot a fun rom com between more heavy roles

But his "rom com " On Your Wedding Day is super complex and I watched it zillion years ago and still remember it

so you are saying he hates this role? so why is he doing it then???

why?

Koreans used to be polygamous in Joseon era and before..... and am not sure when they stopped with that custom.
So ... introducing polygamy in this sneaky way must be interesting to them. Many are Christians now, seems like mostly Catholic? so this idea of two wives is a forbidden fruit :) but must be very enticing :)

btw also Okja
and Parasite

since you love kung fu, I am surprised you dont have Stephen Chow from Hong Kong in your list or did I miss it? He has serious and comedy movies, and Mermaid and even some sci fi
