This drama could have gained even greater popularity if the main leads had received more screen time. it’s still…
You are so right! Finally someone said exactly that!

She had a boyfriend in the 1st 10 episodes and it's unlikely she will get together with the ML right away so I…
HI, I hope you are right!
I just love the two main leads - and you are probably right - the first 20 episodes was partly the first 10 episodes (where she as with her first boyfriend) and then the next 10 episodes, just getting adjusted to not being with him.

You made a good point - fingers crossed - Thanks!

Still, so much is spent on the other couples that I hope that slows down :-) while time is spent on our main couple

I've watched this series up to ep 19.
My interest is only because of the two main actors: Tan Song and Xu Kai

However, the series focuses on 4 couples, of which the main couple only has a share of 1/4th of the time.
That is disappointing.
Yes, the other couples are somewhat fun to watch but most of the romantic time spent should have been on the main couple.

We have 20 more episodes to watch. I hope this promising series starts waiting up!

Who died? I think he came back alive in Ep 16.... not sure, the skeleton was moving...

Song Hyun Wook and Ahn Pan Seok are the two directors that I follow. I don't know about you guys this ain't literature,…
So well said - I don't think most MDL watchers really appreciate this series.
It is slow, deep, meaningful series.
This series is not the usual K/drama - !

Totally agree with you! It is not appreciated by the masses.

how can you guys drop this?? I’m in 5th episodes and I’m loving every bits of this. it’s so interesting…
I don't think most MDL watchers fully understand the Korean culture - Me as one of them.
However, the acting is believable, the OST matches the scenes, the two brave leads are standing up for themselves, and as usual, there are very few, in any culture, that will stand up for what is right.

I watch this series with an open mind - it is hard to watch - not the usual Korean troping series, but for those that try to understand it, it is truly rewarding.

So far, I score it a 8.6.

I agree. He really is genuinely talented. He brings characters to life. He really is on the Lee Jae Wook level…
Flower of Evil, is one of the best Kdramas. Lee Joon Gi's hard to beat. However you are right, big age difference.

Agree with you. I am watching the ML in Queen of Tears. A completely different role and he looks quite different.…
It is worth watching. Park Sung Hoon seems like a method actor, as opposed to many other male leads. I do like the quirkiness too! Refreshing.

I loved this series. The FL came on so strong - and the ML helped her, quietly.
Yes, she could be obnoxious at times but winning in politics is not easy.

Park Sung Hoon is an excellent actor - he can take a role such that one couldn't even recognize him. Multi-talented.
This series is a possible rewatch for me.

It's hard to imagine a movie or series without tropes. It's when a trope is overused is when it becomes hackneyed.
Also, the more episodes a series has, the more tropes the writer can throw in the script
Yes, the second-half breakup is so tropish that it happens more often than not. After a long second-half breakup, the ending is not always satisfying or believable.
I haven't finished ep 3, since I was confused about the school situation but thanks to you and another person, I can go on!

Thank you again!

Thank you so much.
We have something like that in the US but mainly it is after-school businesses teaching foreign languages and Math in particular. Also, these schools operate during the summer.

I've been suspicious of Cheong Mi - she appears to have some hidden motives that are not clear yet.

There appears to be serious competition between these private tutoring schools and their teachers.

This is an interesting series without a lot of the usual tropes.

I was confused and now I can watch it and understand it better.

Thank you again.

Thank you, Hala!
I was really confused.
Now I can watch this series with more clarity.
Again, thank you!

What an absolutist view.
Criminality has a wide range of offenses.
It is a matter of degree.

Who cares, he is one of the best Korean actors around. Watch him in Burning.
Artists like painters, for example, may have some drug dependencies but should we not appreciate their art?
Some composers in the past were drug dependent, so should we not listen to their beautiful music?
Separate the art from the person's dependencies.

And let us not forget alcohol dependency - alcohol is a drug.
Many artists are alcohol-dependent. Do we not appreciate those artists?
