Whilst I'm generally fairly anti Netflix for how they're trying to change the established formula for Kdramas (e.g. trying to extend them into multiple seasons, as happens in the West), in this particular case "Part 2" is airing just three weeks later ... and the gap is one that is frequently employed by many dramas to make room for seasonal shows and specials.

Look this show up on IMDB. It lists it as having eight episodes. The same goes, I think, on TVING (can't be 100% sure as I can't read Korean). So to me it doesn't seem like there really is a "Part One" and a "Part Two". Perhaps the issue in this case is with the (flawed!) way the team at MDL choose to list stuff!

I scrolled through the entire list, wondering why 'Reborn Rich' wasn't on here somewhere. Then I actually looked it up. 2022? Seriously? Ok, who's stolen most of the last year?

So, basically, "Please, please vote, but if we don't like the result we'll pick who we wanted to win anyway".

Don't forget to cast your own vote, or nominate someone not already listed, in 'The MDL "Best Cup of Tea Made On Set" Award (2023)' at https://kisskh.at/list/4YW0QkKL

If there's someone who attended this ceremony who DIDN'T walk away with an award, and you think they should have, why not nominate them for 'The MDL "Best Cup of Tea Made On Set" Award (2023)' at https://kisskh.at/list/4YW0QkKL

Nope, sorry, not offended at all. I'd possibly quibble with your inclusion of AoS s2. It was certainly a harder watch than s1, but still streets ahead of many of the other choices around at the time.

If you have any of these with subtitles of the audio in the original language, you can use https://www.subtitlecat.com/ to translate them into English (or many other languages). I found quite a few for early episodes of 'Bodyguard' but I think there have been a few shows with that name, so don't know if it's the one you're looking for.

So, effectively, she 'stole' the award!? :-)

In the sprit of these awards, I've started one for us. Perhaps you know of some poor soul who attended the ceremony, but didn't receive one? Now's your chance to help right this wrong. Cast your vote for:

Fair enough, though personally I think they're exactly the right examples for the point I was making. Most award bodies with a commercial(ish) name in their title don't give awards to just their own products, in the West at least. Therefore when you see a name like SBS in the title, it isn't an automatic assumption that it's for SBS dramas only. Once you know, you know, and it's obvious. Before you do, it's perfectly reasonable to assume that they're the sponsor, not the exclusive recipient.

(It's kind of a good thing that Oscars aren't only given to people called Oscar. Have there been any worthy recipients since Oscar Wilde?)

The point is, The Pullitzer Prize IS given to non-Pulitzer publications. Once you're in the know it may seem obvious but until you are it isn't necessarily, especially if SBS isn't a particularly high-profile entity in your life. Plain reading of text could just as easily be interpretted as the "SBS .... 'Drama Awards'" as the "'SBS Drama' ... Awards".

Please don't remind me of a dark moment in my childhood. :-(

I'm thinking it could inadvertently have an opposite effect. With so many actors getting an award, those few that don't must feel REALLY demotivated!

Er ... does that mean that The Pulitzer Prize is only given to articles that have appeared in one of Joseph Pulitzer's publications?

Wow. Let's have so many categories that everyone here gets an award. Bit disappointed there wasn't one for "Best Cup of Tea Made on Set" though.

To be fair though, not many companies manage to get their office Christmas Party reported as headline news. Kudos to SBS's PR Department!

Well, it's tagged "Horror", and some here refer to it as such but ... nah! If you've any experience of what real "Horror" is, then this isn't it. There are less than a handful of short scenes that might, possibly, be considered as mild appetisers by true horror fans.

Thank you SO much for the tip. Came here straight after watching the last episode which I stopped when the end credits started to roll (as I guess most people do). Went back and watched the real ending, after the credits finished. It's Thai, right? So it doesn't count as a Kdrama? In which case I SO want a season two! :-)

It was worth watching the whole series just to see the smile on Nai's face as he danced with Dan in ep. 10. I won't make the mistake of underestimating just how well Fluke can act in future!

"... if it was a Catholic body showing these bad omens ..."

The Catholic church, more so than any other organised religion I can think of, is NOTORIOUS for trying to HIDE examples of wrongdoing, to push the blame onto someone else, and to suppress any truth that isn't favourable to them. Nor, using the pedophilia example mentioned by @Shortcircuit, is there any evidence that they learn from past mistakes!

You would have won your bet ... they are (even tho' most people recognise that in reality it's probably just a small percentage).

A large percentage of Thai shows I've watched, whilst enjoyable, feel a little 'unpolished'. There's none of that here. Everything feels pretty much spot on. Really hope the second half of this drama continues the high standards of the first!
