After 4 years, its currently trending in VIU.

Yes you are right.

Its the 2 Episodes ""Off the Route " with Nam Ji Hyun that will be shown March 15 and 16. Trailers now in social media. ""Come to Witch Restaurant"" filming just started and will be shown mid year.

Statistics (showing different age brackets) show that only 4.7% out of 100% as of date rated it at 8 or above. Landslide vote. Rating is subjective so it shouldnt bother your personal enjoyment.

I am excited for this one. Based on the book that received Grand Prize during the 3rd Kyoba Book Contest. With multi awardee and known to be selective of her scripts Nam Ji Hyun (365 Repeat and SP) and Chae Jong Hyeop (Sisyphus and Hot Stove Leave) this is definitely on top of my watchlist.

Exactly the same storyline as Hollywoods 17 Again starring Zac Efron shown in 2009.

Impressive acting by Nam Ji Hyun in 365 Repeat the Year especially the ending. Deserving of her Top Excellence Award. She was also very natural in Suspicious Partner.

And they live happily ever after with a single stroke of a magic wand. LOL.

Ive dropped it at episode 5 but check this forum occassionally for development for a saving grace to determine if i can resume having appreciated 2 dramas of JCW in the past. Seeing the statistics the majority of the viewers of this drama are between 18 to 24, then to age 35. Being a Mom/grandma obviously my perspective of the realities of life and having raised children now married going through ups and downs is not through colored lenses. If ML or FL were my children I would swat them with a fly swatter for them to come to their senses (LOL). A relationship standing on shaky foundation is a good candidate for separation or the divorce courts. They both need to love and respect themselves, get over their demons and insecurities, and heal separately before they can embark on a healthier and long lasting relationship. I will not be surprised if 4.1% who have dropped this to date are the older viewers who have seen the actual realities of life. JCW is definitely a very good actor but should be more selective with his SCRIPT choices if his works are to be remembered as one of the best of all time. Aegyo and good acting are not enough. Must be the whole package.

You are absolutely right about the FL in IOTNO a drama I enjoyed. I started not liking her but it turned to sympathy with flashbacks of her childhood. After the 5th episode of this drama im still not convince to pick up where I left. 12 episodes would have been best as originally planned instead of stretching it with repetitive fillers.

Thanks for you input. There are countries whose freedom of speech are stifled

Btw Its Ok not to be Ok had a very good review byTime Magazine and so with Itaewon Class (considered as no 1 amongst korean kdramas) Will check out Monster Calls and Good Bye my Princess. Thanks ? Congratulations for being a frontliner amongst individuals who need emotional support the most. ?

Thank you for your input. Ive watched Pinocchio and Rookie Historian and both are good. My favs to date are Sunshine, Empress Ki, Moon Embracing the Sun, Cloy, Itaewon Class, Its Ok not to Be Ok and Record of Youth. As you can see it goes with my age (LOL). I like true to life and historical films. I recently watched in Netflix critically acclaimed american films Star is Born and Lala Land and both are masterpieces. You can deeply feel the love and passion of the 2 leads sans bed scenes and distraction due to their emotional and deep exchange of dialogue. It was filmed beautifully and concisely. The ending is not to be expected if you look at life thru rosy glasses.
However its the reality of life ! Both are Academy Award winners. I will put your recommendation School 2017 and Alice in my watch list. Thanks again.

Exactly ! You can be forthright BUT respectful rather than accuse ""most people"" as dumb which is crossing the line of decency . There is no right and wrong in an opinion. If you cannot handle it save your gas. Just ignore and spare yourself another meltdown. More than the drama I enjoy the comments from both sides when I drop in occasionally (LOL) I watched Run On (I dropped it too) in Netflix as well as Star is Born and LaLa Land which i found as masterpieces. I may continue to watch this drama depending on how this will conclude (reason i drop in to get info) as ive enjoyed 2 of JCWs dramas before enlistment. Meanwhile
any suggestion for Kdrama or K films ? I got into kdrama last year due to the pandemic. Btw, freedom of speech does not only refer to government. It goes beyond frontiers including your workplace. Have a good day everyone and enjoy ? Peace ✌

Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by countries 1948 (freedom of speech).

I agree. Accusing ""most people"" of being dumb is rude. This is an open forum wherein educacted adults discuss the 2 sides of the coin freely and respectfully. It is a freedom of speech, and legally a human right.

Thanks for your input. "Ghosting" - they have fun and disappear without cutting clean and closure. Perhaps she finally realizes its true love which is now irrelevant. Emotional damage has been done. Alcoholism is a serious addiction that is considered a disease medically. True love means honesty, sincerity and protect your beloved from hurt/harm at all cause. Seriously ML deserves someone much better.
Im speaking from a parents point of view until episode 5. Ive dropped this drama out of exasperation. Again thanks for your input.

I agree. Cut clean. The writer must be doing some damage control as this drama seems to be getting some beating.
From 12 episodes its now 16 perhaps to spin more credibility ( or incredible theories ???? LOL ! ) at some point. The supporting actors that are getting peoples attention are now being given pivotal roles. My take is to drop the FL like a hot potato. As a parent, the FL is clearly super bad news to any parent like myself who has a son (or whatever gender) turning into an alcoholic emotionally sick person. The chemistry they tried to create with visuals and cinematography in episode 1 and 2 is now clearly infatuation, lust and obsession. She used him. Just my opinion.

Thank you for pointing that out. That must be after ep 5. I will continue depending on the ending should there be a redeeming grace. For now the story is extremely annoying and a waste of my time. I have started a drama that won best picture recently and Im enjoying it. Thanks again for your input.?

This far is obvious to me - FL started the relationship solely to have fun and perhaps as an escape without any long term intentions. For her to even suggest marriage and subject ML to a year of emotional stress (in legal terms - abuse) is devious. Whatever her reasons, all are irrelevant. Bottom line is ML deserves someone better and if doesnt recognize this, he needs counseling as he is turning into a nutshell. Its not love but tragedy. Its a fatal obsession. Again if they end up together ML is a hopeless idiot. Hopefully JCW becomes more selective with his script choices (like Kim Soo Hyun, Park Seo Jun and Hyun Bin) as his last two I also dropped just like many others. Visuals and Aeygo are not enough if his work and acting are to be remembered.
