I actually found the Romance-hinting Island the only good thing about it.

It's because I didn't enjoy the webtoon very much. 😅 Had it otherwise been a good webtoon and drama been otherwise good, it wouldn't have needed romance.
So anyway, we can disgree about Island, I personally found it to have much bigger problems than romance/not romance, both webtoon and drama felt hollow and lacking, great idea but plot didn't go anywhere interesting in neither. 🤦🏻‍♀️😅

Have you actually bothered watching any of the SERIOUS romance-MELODRAMAS???

Some of them are far from the Cringe Fluff you see in most kdrama romcoms.

With ML depression and the other mental health issues in this kdrama, this likely to be more melo and not go for the Cringe-style romance...
At least I hope so 🤞🤞

Please no romCOM.

That literary only works with 1% rare screenwriters talented enough to write an actual non-cringe style romcom....😅 (This why I'm actually enjoying Borah Deborah)
I hope for a serious tone, esepcialiy during romance...


Usually you can tell a few eps in what style of romance it will be, a will-written & directed one or cringe....It's a waiting game still...

Also certain PDs are good at not making cringe style but more genuine feeling Romances like Ahn Pahn Seok with One Spring Night, Something in The Rain and his upcoming Midnight Romance In Hagwon per trailer chemistry and directing looks natural....

This drama has Sky Castle PD behind it, who is good at directing, so less likely cringe-romance....Snowdrop had more natural looking romance which is a good sign....
I'm not familiar with this writer though...

Hope for a good drama and not cringe 🤞🤞

8 Eps and 8 Leads.... So is each ep going to focus on 1 lead or??? 🤔

Misleading promotions!!

I thought this would be just a SILLY ROMCOM (Mostly I don't like those).

...But this was more serious and makes you cry!

Had I known this, I'd picked this up sooner!

3 Eps in, it's good so far, even though the music isn't my style.

Whoa I really dig the vibes of the trailer, it gives a highly quirky dark-comedy vibe mixed in with thriller 👍👍

Was worried about being too much like Squid Game, but this one gives its own unique quirky charm.

The directing is FIRST-RATE, already seen from trailer!! 🔥🔥 PD-nim will make this worth to watch!

Don't ruin it for other cast & crew and not give drama a chance, just because of one idiot guy....

Especially since this is an ENSEMBLE Show, 7 other leads to watch and enjoy....

So rather than AMOUNT of romance, THE WRITING of the romance & rest of drama is more important.


Also per trailer, it doesn't look like a dumb love-at-first Sight either,
FL is making fun of him and his family for claiming to have superpowers.....I see potential here for an actually good romance later on. 🤞🤞

Please be well-written. 🤞🤞

Ok looks like I misunderstood you a little bit there. I thought you were one lf those people who dropped dramas if even 1% was spent on romance lol.

However why are you assuming that the romance will be most of the story here?!?! 🤦🏻‍♀️There are more than just the Minimal & maximum Romances.... To me this drama seems more like in between minimal and 90% spent on romance....


As more romance-centric fictions, it CAN be done, but IT'S MUCH HARDER to write it well & believably. I see alot of romance projects turn bad, not because it has ALOT of it, but because writer acts like they have no irl romance exp and write the romance in a cringe unrealistic way 😅🤦🏻‍♀️

Spider Man movies include just the right amount.

As for The Atypical Family, I hope they write the romance well and no stupid "love-at-first-sight" 🤦🏻‍♀️ .
I'm currently watching Bora! Deborah and the romance is actually built up in realistic way, where leads are getting to know each other slowly first and not just automatically "in love" because writer says so. 😅😅

I think most time here will likely be spent neither on romance or action, seems more psychological side likely to get attention, but we'll see.

I think it's important that they include family going to theraphy as well. A love or friend connection can indeed be healing, support groups exist for a reason, BUT it will be a bit ridiculous if they don't also include actual theraphy.

This guy has the most hottest manliest broad chin that makes you go gaga 😍

The most attractive guy of the currently rising actors!

or the rest of the stuff?!?!


I'm still on ep 3, so maybe they'll explain it later,

If they don't, I'll headcannon that an airplane had crashlanded on the island before with all the stuff. 😂

Otherwise, it makes no sense lol

This will no doubt get compared alot with Squid Game,
so hopefully it's well written & directed, so the comparisons are positive 🤞🤞

Sheeesh paid to be awful writers 🤦🏻‍♀️

Exactly, Then why are you shocked when something that normally includes Romance, actually includes romance lol 🤦🏻‍♀️

You do know that kdramas used to be 99% just Romance dramas in the past?!? 😅 You're lucky to have many more watching options these days...
Now you have plenty of options in the thriller mystery genre to watch and FF scenes in the ones that include minimal romance, cause that's literary what they have 99% of the time if they have romance, only MINIMAL romance that CAN BE IGNORED....


Are you one of those UNBEARABLE people who go into drama genre dramas complaining that is should be comedy, demanding comedy to be drama etc. ?!? Thriller-comedy to be pure thriller or pure thrillers to have comedic elements etc.🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️


Also it's not for you to say and control what writers & PDs put into their works, they can include whatever they want and whatever genre and elements they want..IT'S THEIR STORY.

I think they assumed I was one of those ace hating people, I'm literaly asexual myself, just a different type, the hyperromantic type.

They're the one with outdated opinion, we live in 2020s with many streaming options and asexuality finally getting included in fictions, they speak like it's still the 00s.... 😅🤦🏻‍♀️

I think you meant to @ this comment at that Shubham prasad person, not me 😅

Waited a long time for Chun Woo Hee to have an airing drama only for BOTH to come out at the same time. 🤦🏻‍♀️


She's the new Kim Dong Wook of 2024 😅


I do wish they would delay this one, but I guess I'll live watch The Atypical Family and binge this one afterward, watching both at the same time is bothersome.....

4 Eps watched and BORING. Can,'t stand it. 2 Eps more I'll watch just for Lee Jong Won, and then drop.


Great idea done poorly.

I'm extra disappointed since I usually like this writer's dramas...

This is allt the more ridiculous by the fact that LJW is super handsome! 😍

But some people are blind I guess....

BIG WTF about their outburst. 😅😅

I didn't like her costar in A Business Proposal, LJW is much better.

This will be fun.
You just have bad taste. 😅

You're as blind as can be. 😅 He's literary the most handsome of all the currently rising actors. 😅
