No it's not just you. I feel the same, but he chose the role so I guess it was a character that interested him.

Now that beyond perfect torso and Sixpack has a stab wound, what a shame lol!

hard to understand how such talented, people with dynamic jobs etc can be so unbelievably boring, cringe and awkward. Their conversations are sooooo dull, slow and the insane, self conscious attention to their looks is OCD beyond, if Koreans are seriously like this, I feel sorry for them. The panel is equally dull, trying desperately to dredge up something to comment on, it's a total joke. I'm dropping this one, the season before was actually not bad. By comparison Singles Inferno was seriously entertaining, even knowing the whole thing was edited to the max, the panel was absolutely fantastic. That's my take, sorry if you disagree.

Agree, and please lose the beard and sheep hair. And maybe FL can stop abusing the F out of everyone.

It's great, I'm really liking it too, but Yumi's Cells has a magic charm, haven't seen anything else like it.

Honestly I'm just in awe over the production of Yumi's Cells in general. The animation is so phenomenal, and so clever, each little detail and response, set in the perfect environment is totally hilarious, and so realistic in terms of the ridiculous detailed stuff we all think and feel, and try to cover up. The OST is just gorgeous. The little cells are super cute and adorable. I'm just in love at how this drama manages to capture all the insane, absurd paths we take, the confusion, the idiotic thinking and actions, the mistakes, the apologies, the misunderstanding. We all do it, and this is done with so much love and compassion. It's really lovely how Yumi gets to understand Sun Rok over time, and how he has to fight with himself (and Ju Ho) to get finally how he feels. This is such a feel good drama, so well written, it's just flawless to me. That scene in the village with all the colourful houses was just too beautiful. It made me want to visit whatever that place is. I feel like once the couple get together, it's game over in a sense. If it went too much further after that it becomes filler material. So the plot is tight, and most of the action is about how they get there.

First 2 eps are great, it's a lightweight satire, the pacing is fast. SHS is hilarious, unique and a really good actress. GM has great comic timing. The rest of the cast is doing a great job. The rom part of the com is about to happen!

I don't agree, I thought in Tangerines she was cute capricious, and funny as well as serious, courageous etc. I'm totally buying her comedy here, I think she's an amazing, versatile actress that can virtually pull off any genre with ease. I think you're perfectly right to have an opinion, and that's what MDL is all about.

I so agree, He's only 26, a really gifted actor. I think what he implies is that he knows, and she knows he's intentionally playing honest, humble, and vulnerable, but the interesting aspect is that he owns it, and is finding strength in being vulnerable, it's a really complex thing to convert.

Totally agree. He's fantastic!

fingers crossed, that's what she's always done before

I'm really enjoying this drama, despite what I just said, but for me she's capricious to such an extent that I find it hard to watch, how DX handles it all. I haven't read the novel so I'm assuming the great love affair is about to become two sided.

Yes kind of agree. 28 eps in and Simu is still all over the place in terms of her character, one minute a terrifying, fantastical, power force, one minute a flirtatious giggling girl smelling flowers and eating candy, one minute an indifferent, cold glacier, one minute a kind and concerned healer, obviously the narrative is shaped so that the almighty crescendo of her admitting her love for DX is looming, but her character arc is like a ball in a pinball machine. Even as we are supposed to understand her conflicted behaviour is of course due to childhood trauma, you can equally say the same of DX, but he has been loving and steadfast, understanding and pretty calm. He deserves a medal.

Part of the allure of these major celebs and actors is that fans kind of obsess about them, at times as if they have some kind of ownership, it's totally weird. and delusional . Management plays into this by dissuading pop idols/actors from engaging in relationships, it's often a really controlled, image operation, where every detail of these people's lives are groomed and managed, almost as if they're commodities! because their star attraction and single status brings huge amounts of money. A lot of idols try and have clandestine relationships, and when they're discovered, the whole thing has to be "clarified" by management and media. I feel this is changing a little bit as you see more and more Asian celebs openly having girlfriends/boyfriends and getting married.

Whether or not this is just another misdirection, and everyone claims it's just part of CSA'a latest movie, it's still pretty unusual to have the wife of a campaigning president doing erotic lesbian scenes in a movie.

That's exactly what I thought the next spin would be, orchestrated by BTS and Co.

In a way this could be partly solved by allowing the celebs to openly date, and marry, and not pretend to stay single because it's every sasaeng fan's fantasy that the person "could" be in a relationship with them in their delusional state of mind.

I agree, he's wonderful in this role. It's really demanding, there are so many facets to his character, the way he hides is vulnerability behind that smile. Must be a great director also.

Honestly, across all genres and cultures, I can't think of an actress with her star power, and unique presence. She's just amazing. She's so stunning, but her acting is just beyond, and she's capable of comedy, being coy and flirtatious, icy and remote, regal, what a range. Also the budget of this drama must have been through the roof, to enhance her role with costume, special effects, etc.

Totally agree. I can no longer see the character she plays, only PMY looking fragile and unwell.
