If Sang-jin (the CEO) is correct, Yu-ri was already cheating on Soo Hyuk.

I need to go back and re-watch the scene when BoRa is reading Yu-ri's letter. My recollection is that the letter was all criticism of ML and no recognition of his positive traits - so much criticism that BoRa called him "mean" and "petty" - obviously judgmental and untrue.

Loved Ep. 4 - I'm now on board with the show.

I especially like the ML character - have now put "My Holo Love" on watchlist because of YHM.

Leo Soo hyuk is my favorite. Still don't find the character of BoRa endearing, but perhaps the script will change enough for me to care about her. Meanwhile, I can't help but cross my fingers for Sang-wook and Yu Jung.

It's official! You In Soo is the newest counter "Jeokbong" or "Red Bong" (I think he is the counter who can smell evil???).

After reading your comments and Bloomingtide, I finally understand that there are "weekend dramas" and "dramas that air on the weekend". Thanks for the explanation.

So, I understand you and ErickaRamirez, there are "weekend dramas" which is different from "dramas that air on the weekend".😂😂😂

I know that Netflix licenses kdramas from the broadcast channels, but I don't recall watching one that was this many episodes.

I've been using the FF button a bit but still behind. However, after reading comments about the "end" scene in Ep. 8, last night I jumped to that point and NOW I finally looking forward to new episodes. I will finish watching Ep. 7 and 8 before the weekend. 😀

It's available now in my time zone (8:15 AM PDT). I'm not sure when it was released.

I put this on hold until it is complete but I hope Do Jin survives.

My decision is to keep watching until the 1st "break-up". If it never comes (and the wiki synopsis indicates they will be together through child-rearing), that day may never come.

And I believe you misunderstood my comment re AJH - I said that I enjoy his character in this drama and that I thought he was an excellent actor!

Cinderella/4Knights was the 1st k-drama I ever watched - it was only 16 episodes. The females were crying in every episode - if it had been 50 episodes, I probably would never have watched another k-drama. 😀

I have watched many weekend dramas over the past year and almost all were 14-16 episodes. But looking at it from a distance, they were on JTBC and TvN - cable channels, I believe. The broadcast channels (such as KBS) seem to be the longer format. I watch k-drama primarily on Netflix, so perhaps that explains why I'm not as familiar with the 50-episode dramas.

ALL Disney+ international or just Asia? Actually, I don't like the illegal platforms, so if this a way to hold off on subbing for legal international, I'm okay with it.

Arrghh, I am still waaaayyyy behind on watching this drama, but at this point, I will make the following two comments:

1. I was hesitant to watch because of Ahn Jae Hyun - i disliked his characters/roles in Cinderella/4Knights and Beauty Inside. However. . . . .he portrays my favorite character in this drama. Perhaps it's simply because I enjoy this type of character - the man attempting to live his own life, attempting to honor his mother (I wish the character also honored his step-father a bit more), compassion for Yeon Doo. Maybe it's because this is a doctor (at this point in the drama - hope it doesn't change) who wants to bring life into the world. I finally believe that he is an excellent actor.

2. Fifty (50) episodes!?!?. Yeah - there is a reason apparently based on something-something- Korean-something. But the reason I love K-dramas is the very short (12-16 eps) formula. So, I'm enjoying the story thus far, but this is soooooo predictable: ML and FL finally become a couple (before baby? after baby?) and then they break up. And at that point - I'm out. Maybe if there were fewer episodes, they could spend more $$$ on some decent studio sets (cringeworhty) and location shoots.

Would be interested in hearing other viewpoints on k-drama productions (Studio Dragon is King, apparently), why 50 episodes vs the std. 12-16?. I'm trying to learn/understand k-drama land.

Agree. I'm convinced that was the original plan - proposed as a 20 episode drama but somewhere along the line (during Pre-production AFTER original budget/outline was established) - supposedly because the writers wanted more episodes to "explore" the characters (which never happened), - the studio decided to ask TvN to approve another 10 episodes.

No. They are two separate dramas with very little connection to each other except for the characters. In Episode "21" (1st episode of Part 2"), about 30% of the episode is spent reminiscing and "introducing" the Part 1 characters and their position/status in Part 2 - which takes place 3 years later.

Having said that, I absolutely loved Part 1 and hated Part 2. Other viewers are rather "meh" about Part 1 and loved Part 2. If your time is limited, watch Part 2 only. If you have lots of time to binge watch, start with Part 1 and see if you are captivated or not.

unfortunately SJ is a "Main Role" so she's here to the bitter end. 😭😭😭😢😢😢

Thank you - and that explains my confusion when watching I-forget-which-episode when they talked about 5 grandchildren, or 5 siblings, or whatever. I'm not sure if I can handle the 50 episode arc, but a enjoying the early episodes thus far. Again - thanks you for the explanation.

I'm still on Ep. 4, but isn't ML's youngest sister married to Doctor Cha? This show is VERY confusing. Does MDL need to revise the cast list/names???

ML DID express his feelings to his girlfriend - he took care of her when she was sick; he spent all of holidays with her; he never cheated on her. And for that, he was labeled "mean", and "petty".

And did Yu-ri (the girlfriend) ever express HER feelings???? Nope. She was too cool for that. Too cool to even attempt to discuss her feelings/his feelings.

He's not the bad guy.

Meanwhile. . . .in Deborah Land, her boyfriend never expresses his feelings, he only talks about his family business, he tells her will call her "later" - BUT DOESN"T and finally, he's a cheater.

He's the bad guy.

I didn't watch UC originally but when I found out that my favorite K-drama actor (Yoo In-soo) was going to be the new counter in UC#2, I "binged" over a couple of weeks. Not my usual genre, but also enjoy the two older actors in UC. As for "My 19th Life", I'm also not into reincarnation, but I'll probably give it a try. 😀

I've been keeping an eye on this one because Uncanny Counter 2 is supposed to come immediately after. I think it replaced Arthal Chronicles which was originally planned to come after Nine Tails in the Saturday/Sunday slot.
