Secret Royal Inspector looked a bit too goofy for me... But yeah it's still on my mental To Be Watched List... along with Sky Castle... Too many dramas to watch... Too little time... And instead of working I'm spending time watching Lovely Runner reactions... I mean if I'm not working... I should at list be "productive" and watch other dramas right? But nope. Stuck here obsessing over SeonSol.

I haven't watched Snowdrop ... But it came later than Extraordinary You. I had my doubt regarding the lead actress so I didn't bother. They were plenty of very experienced actresses that could have landed the role particularly with Jung Hae In as the lead... But jTBC bet on K Pop's popularity with this singer to get views...
Very bad bet in my opinion. It's not because you're into K Dramas that you necessarily listen to K Pop. Sure, there are plenty of idols who have successfully made the switch from singer to actor or done both but like my boy Lee Seung Hyub here, they did support roles until they got enough experience to carry a whole show. Kim Ji Soo basically did a couple of guest appearances and then got a main role... when my girl Hye Yoon, given her age, could have done it and had already a leading role under her belt.
I thought it was really unfair to all the very experienced actors so I didn't bother. Maybe she did a good job I don't know... I haven't even bothered to read comments or reviews regarding Snowdrop.

Same!!! I tend to avoid ongoing dramas because lots of them turn out disappointing in the end. So I'd rather wait for a general consensus to come out before investing any time on a drama.

The only reason I checked that one out was because Hye Yoon had a leading role and I've loved her since Extraordinary You. I didn't know anything about the drama, I just wanted to see her.
I just thought, I was going to check the first episode and if it was good, I'd put it on my mental "To be Watched" list.

But then I loved the first episode so much, I just thought... Ok. I'm just going to check the second episode tomorrow... And that's it. After that, I'll eventually binge the rest once it has ended.

But then they managed to make episode 2 even better and after the twist at the end... I was a gonner. I endured 8 weeks of weekly torture... but it was soooooooooo worth it!!! But also very draining.

I've got lots of mixed feelings: sad that it's ending, but glad we're going to get a conclusion, but sad it's ending...but happy for their happy ending ( BECAUSE IT'S A HAPPY ENDING, which the most important thing), but sad that we're parting with these characters who made me so happy for two months, but also glad to finally get rid of this obsession I've had with this show for so many weeks.
Just... I need the DVDs and the director's cut. I hope they make it available for international fans.

I do that too!!! I've been watching English reactions but also Korean reactions and reading comments. I really can't believe myself!

Ak Ok... Thank you for your answer...
Sucks. I'll be in bed. Will have to go through all the comments unless people keep reposting because I'm sure the comment section is gonna get wild.

Preview anyone?
I'm having problem connecting to X so I'm COUNTING ON YOU GUYS for the direct link to the long preview.
WHEN THE FUDGE IS-IT COMING OUT?

Just enjoy the ride. It's a complicated relationship. Them getting together is the whole point of the story. You'll get it once you've watched it.

Can't believe I'm wasting my whole day watching people's reactions on youtube...

Same here.
Decided not to work on Tuesday. I'm probably going to struggle focusing tomorrow so I've decided to throw the towel for Tuesday. I've got a whole plan to keep myself busy the whoooooooooooooooooole day until it's available on Viki.

And then... I'm probably going to wait a couple of days... before watching it again :D

I personally also consider emotional investment... Which I think is the main reason I looked at the show as objectively as I did... Except for the beginning... I just couldn't get emotionally invested. I probably would have rated it better had I been invested in any of these relationships... But even then, I honestly wouldn't give this show more than a 6.

I get what you're saying... But I feel that the book is the book Just like I personally feel it's unfair to rate badly a show because it's not completely faithful to its original source... It's also not fair to rate it higher because of the hints you only know because you read the book. The drama should be judged for what it is.

But again, the BL romance is not my main issue. My main issue is mostly all the rest.
Anyway, I know I'm part of the minority but thank you for sharing your opinion.

I'm sorry to disagree. That's basically 2kg per week. No doctor would ever recommend losing that much weight in such a short amount of time for somebody with a healthy weight which is the case for Ji Sung. Even at 85kg, with his height, he was just slightly overweight, shedding weight when you're at a normal weight is extremely tough and not recommended. Maybe losing the first 4/5 kg quickly was okay but not the remaining 10. You've got do to it slowly otherwise you're exposing yourself to health risks. If he was obese that would be another story since most of what he would have lost would have been water. Obese and overweight people can lose a lot of weight fast, but not people with a normal weight.

Look at what happened to Kim Bum. Anyway I'm sorry but this is disinformation. Even the best nutritionists wouldn't recommend this to anyone. But after all it's his body, if he wants to ruin it, that's on him.

Actually you spend relatively the same amount of energy whether you're in your 20s, 30s, 40s etc. The only difference is that you tend to be less active as you age and it makes it more difficult to lose weight. But if you exercise, there's no major difference apart from where you store the fat I guess.
The older you get, the more you get muscle atrophy... However you only need to exercise regularly to maintain your muscle mass. Muscles consume more than fat and a person who exercises will naturally spend more energy when resting than a person who doesn't.
I personally go to the gym twice a week, and I see lots of elderly in their 60s and 70s with very well shaped bodies. If you didn't see their face, you'll have a hard time guessing how old they are given the state of their bodies.
Anyway, it's never late to get in shape. I saw a video of an 80 year old japanese sport's coach who had gotten into bodybuilding at the ripe age of 62, and she rocked it.

This being said 15kg in 2 months... is ridiculous. Nobody can lose this amount of weight at whatever age in a healthy manner.

Are you kidding? 15 kg in 2 months is extremely unhealthy.

LOL

Oh... I see what you mean... I thinks maybe Sunday or Monday morning... Not sure.

You know... I do agree on your comment... But not on this series ( though the Dad in the bathroom is personally the only thing I kinda disliked in the whole show so I'm not counting it). Most K-romance I've seen... When the story is ONLY romance, I've got to say I wish they stuck to 12 episodes ( And I'm not even talking about C Dramas because if you love the show it's ok but my God if you don't love it the level of boredom is sky-high) BUT in the case of Lovely Runner, I beg to differ. It's got several genre blended together and this is why for me it works.

I'm glad we got some sweet moments of them together, it didn't feel like fillers to me since you need to give these characters time to breathe. Watching a show in which everything is moving forward all the time makes for a suspenseful, but very stressful watching experience and Lovely Runner is not that show, it was never advertised as such.

I think they've been pretty faithful to their tone during the whole drama. Lots of funny and sweet moments tinged with a bit of suspense and sadness.

But to each one his own. Not everyone can like a show from start to finish, and everybody is entitled to his/her own opinion. I disagree with you on this point, but at least I know where you're coming from unlike some idiot who said Sol was grooming Seon Jae or whatever. I saw everybody banging against the person who posted that comment... when it was very obvious that they were just trolling to get a reaction.

Though I disagree, your comments makes sense in a way for somebody who isn't particularly into the romance genre. I can understand you might be bored... But for someone like me who enjoy the genre... Honestly this is pretty light, and there's no fillers.
Hope you have a happy remaining watching experience though.

It was yesterday.
I don't have X but you've got to dig through the comments :D
It was a really niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice video by the way ;)

This add is reaally funny :D

I swear to god. I've set my location to South Korea on youtube. It's trending everywhere, they 're even talking about it on the news, but still no proper article on MDL. Have they all been bought by Netflix or what?

Actually her first hit was the first drama she starred in "Dream High". It was extremely popular when it came out. I personally really liked this drama. After that I only watched two dramas she starred in and I personally wasn't impressed so I don't understand the hype... But again I don't care for K Pop which I guess is where she got most of her popularity.

Anyway to each one his/her own... I probably won't tune it. Not a fan of her acting nor of the projects she picks up except for "While You were Sleeping" which was good... but less than the writer's previous projects Dream High, I Hear your Voice, Page Turner and Pinnochio. Haven't seen Start-Up yet. Anyway. This writer has had several hits and Suzy acted in 3 of them... But the success as far as I'm concerned is more due to the writing not the actors featured in it.

I guess she likes "challenging roles" which challenges her acting chops... And I think she makes good choices as an actress who wants to perfect her skills... But as a viewer... I don't care for experimental or whatever. I want entertainment so it's gonna be a no. Again.
