Really enjoying this Cdrama, it's well cast and the story is providing us with so many unanswered questions / mysteries. I will not be reading any spoilers, it's like reading the last page in a book, before deciding to try the story.
I'm thinking of trying Rattan next, which is from the recommendations above and also sounds interesting and not the usual Cdrama fantasy (the usual demon / fairy storylines just don't work for me for some reason)
If anyone has anymore recommendations I'd appreciate them, thanks in advance.

Just re-watched this series for about the third time - IMHO it is far better than the original Chinese series. The Korean version fixed the extremely problematic non-consensual kisses between the ML and FL (a re-occurring trope in CDrama's unfortunately) and there was actual chemistry between the leads in the Korean version, which in a slice of life / romance is kind of important from a base level. I dropped the Chinese version mainly because of the ML, the story just did not work with him acting the way he did. I do credit the Chinese version with the original story, but the writing of the dominant male lead just did not work for me personally and ruined the otherwise very sweet story.

Southern Europe?

Having lived in five countries and travelled to over forty others, my worldview is undoubtedly different to yours.
Strangely almost all, yours being the exception, are comments and thoughts wishing Zhao Lusi well - I wonder whose comments seem out of place.

We do live in a world with much darkness, but was this really the place to spread your negativity - What on earth do Epstein's horror's and conspiracy theories have to do with Zhao Lusi.

I am really confused as to why you are writing about all this in an MDL article about Zhao Lusi, who recently went through bad times and is thankfully on the rise again.

This is a site for people who like drama's, not a scandal site for people who love celebrity sexploitation and sensationalism, maybe you are in the wrong place.

I didn't watch this drama as it aired, instead binged it over two days after it concluded - while initially thrown by the small town dynamics and characters, I quickly got wrapped up in the overall story and ultimately enjoyed the ride and conclusion.

Google is so easy to use, type in African Encephalitis and you'll see it is an actual disease, but as with many other medical conditions it is also known by other names as well.
People appear to be actually more offended at the use of the word Africa, being associated in a negative light, as in with a disease.
By this wisdom and thought process, I guess citizens of Germany must be offended by the medical condition German Measles or Spanish Citizens by the term Spanish Flu.
There are many things to fight about in this world, THIS is not one of them.

Looks interesting

Luckily they did not mention German Measles or Spanish Flu - imagine the outcry! Would you of felt better about West Nile Virus or is any African named illness such as Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever (Ebola River, Zaire) or Lassa Fever (Lassa, Nigeria) also racist and off the table?

I enjoyed the first two episodes of this drama, the rom-com tropes are coming fast, but to be honest I don't really care. It's fun to watch something that's light and not serious, after having watched series like Queen Mantis or 9 puzzles (which were great, but quite dark)
Jung So Min is as dazzling as ever, I really like her comedic timing and chemistry with the other actors. Regardless of rom-com tropes, this feels like a favourite meal that I always appreciate and makes me feel good. Looking forward to the rest of the drama.

So your comments, 'sketchy as fck' or I hope she gave to everyone, were in no way negative or related to anyone - you really are too funny.

So you give to charity let me revise my comment, if you have given even 1% feel free to cast shade - but lets face it, not going to be even close are you.
I'll repeat, you DID cast shade, anyone reading your comments can see that, so be a man and take it when its reflected back to you.

Nearly all the above comments sadden me greatly, but I think they are more of a reflection of the people writing them and their values, rather than anything to do with IU. Just a few minutes on google would inform you of how much IU has given to charity during her career, how she is continually given gifts to those who work alongside her on projects. I'm going to take a wild guess that none of you guys have given 2% of what she has - this is very much a case of people in glass houses ....
I know there is lots wrong with the world, but when someone in kind and generous, maybe be quiet unless you yourself are a saint and can prove it, not just say it.

Maybe there are somethings being lost in translation - but that is not a good statement if trying to say your are completely innocent.

A beautiful and touching story, featuring three of my favourite actresses - one of the last scenes broke me, you'll know it when you watch the movie. This movie definitely deserves more attention and appreciation, its a gem with a 9.0 score from me, I highly recommend this movie.

I agree with everything you just wrote, both Queen mantis and Nine Puzzles were well produced, paced mystery / thrillers - both had some great acting and are worth a re-watch, even knowing the twists and turns.

They are both action flicks, I hope you enjoy them both - let me know which you preferred .

My opinion is different, Mantis is okay, Kill Bok Soon is just better in every way - judge for yourself, but I'd advise watching Kill Bok Soon first as it is what Mantis is based on (same world)

If you have not watched Kill Bok Soon - watch Kill Book Soon first, its the superior movie (by far in my opinion)

In the same universe as Kill Bok Soon, but not as good as the original movie.

My guess is the wife's best friend Seo A Ra.
I think it was in the first episode, where the wife put milk in her coffee and said she'd made a mistake as she always has it black. Odd scene, made no sense, why was it there? From then on, I was very suspicious of the character - suggested to wife to visit husbands hometown, made friends immediately and got close with with husbands childhood friend. As of episode 6 we know think that the killer at least looks convincingly female. I would be horrified if it turned out to be the wife, but I'm still guessing her best friend.
