Ah, that makes me so happy. Congrats are in order for the couple!!!

Funny that no articles about a Chinese drama have SPAM comments under them.

No they haven't gone bankrupt.

Companies and corporations thrive on the fear factor.

"I think this is my first time seeing this issue in kdrama." and why I think this hit so close to hime fo so many. I'm just glad it had excellent writing. Anything less wouldn't have had such an impact.

Great review, and absolutely love your poem. Much love💖

I usually don't care if there's a second season for a drama bc most of the time a 2nd doesn't offer the same quality as the first. OMGC, though, with it's great cast who did such an excellent job with their roles, the varied cases that were interesting, romance the way it should develop, a renewed marriage, and the hopeful note at the last minute of the last episode left the door wide OPEN and leaves most of us wanting more.

Watching brought back memories of working in some of the most unpleasant conditions in jobs I didn't want to add to a resume, like pulling frozen chicken off the bone on an assembly line (after 1 week I was the only person out of 8 left on my line & STILL expected to meet the quota for all 8), or cutting the extra rubber off of still hot products to pass inspection (literally felt like working in hell it was so hot).

I won't list all the bad jobs (like shoveling s*** from horse stalls)I took bc I needed a paycheck, but there are plenty (close to 10 dif industries). In between the last years of employment before retirement there were 2 'careers' I could brag about: accounts payable processor, and price coordinator for a home improvement warehouse IF I stayed with them for the '20 required yrs before retirement'.

The jobs (add another 5-10) after those up to retirement were better than manual labor, yet still were considered 'lower status'. Have I kicked myself countless times for not staying with either of the 2 great 'careers'? Best to ask if I've ever stopped, especially considering I have a University BS degree. Do I regret taking on jobs simply bc they were interesting and offered variety in my wanderlust years? Most def!!!

The best pieces of advice I can offer after working approximately 20 - 25 dif jobs over the years is:
* to learn what you're really interested in (there are tests online for this too)
*stick with what makes you want to get outta bed each morn for it, instead of wanting to call in to say you quit when the alarm goes off
*get it (income) while you're in your younger years when your health is much better
*open a savings account and pay yourself first before any bills and DON'T spend it on things you'll just regret later on, and YOU will regret it if you take out a little here and a little there
*I won't mention investing as I know nothing about it
*always give notice if you want to move onto another job (every company has a 2 week or whatever 'unwritten rule')

What was the worse job you've ever had, and what was the best? What advice would you give your younger self? What advice have others given you that has paid off in your employment?

I wish I could give a list to the writer for other ideas about jobs that have hazards. One would be surprised what causes harm in the differing employment areas whether it's physical harm or mental harm. So I for one want a season 2 of OMGC so bad, with the same mains, and close support in the roles.

*under a spoiler for the length*

Profits rule, and workers ALWAYS get the short end, regardless of whether it's in a warehouse pulling chicken off the bone, cutting the extra rubber off of a product to pass inspection, cleaning a corporate office, tending to patients in a nursing home or hospital, cleaning the conveyor belts on an industrial machine at a too young age ( a 16 yr old died in my state not 2 yrs ago doing this, sucked him into the machine), diverting traffic around hazards on a highway, etc.

"in my old job they stacked so many boxes in front of the only exit and the fire extinguishers!" BC of this, everywhere I go, like the grocery store, I notice the exists. Unlike your old job, the places I worked were very strict on the exists.

OMGC has really touched so many people bc it's relatable, and if not, then they've, hopefully, learned to be more aware of their surroundings when working.

Oh, Dear. Oh, Dear. I had the same thought when she suggested that ansurdity. There's way too little space to include all my thoughts on the 'state of affairs' currently going on in the USA. This was the year I was going to stop watching this Genre. Life has become much too stressful as is to add to it with my drama watching. I'm not up 2 hours when the tears begin to flow from the sheer cruelty of it all by those who have highjacked the 'Chrisian' faith. And giving up the news, or sites like Twitter, isn't an option when it all directly affects me personally. I've added to my prayers lately; to be able to outlive the orange turd.

Ya, I know about Asianwiki to check the ratings. If a drama has a wiki page the ratings will be there also. I just thought Gene would provide his source even if it were all 3 that you stated.

So do I, and was overjoyed to see them slide easily into a relationship.

Using the American idiom 'jumped the shark' on an International movie & drama site, that few understand bc it was introduced in 1985 with an American tv series that had already run its course is of course, very American. LOL. The majority of Users were probably born after 1985.

'Jumping the shark' doesn't pertain to OMGC Ep 8 bc it's a continuation of hazardous working conditions that result in the death or serious harm to a worker. In this case, 8 workers died. Therefore, the Ep continues with a case of hazardous working conditions for 8 clients , who are angry that a Law presenting such was ignored. There was no 'jumping the shark' in this episode. Having 8 clients made sense in this case bc 8 workers died at the same time, same location, in the same building bc of the same employer. Too, their anger, as ghosts, was justified that there was a Law which prevented such from happening, yet it was ignored by the employer.

Users "suspension of disbelief' was marked from the moment any had read the synopsis ("But then, he starts seeing ghosts who died unjustly.") or had read any comment or review, so I don't think anyone, except maybe you, actually made it to Ep 8 to suspend their disbelief.
Ep 8 broke your suspensi

The rarest time I'll ever second this thought. Same cast. Dif cases. Endless cases.

I believe you. The places I worked before I had any sense of them being unhealthy or dangerous when I look back...

Sometimes casting is perfect. Other times not so much. And there has been the rare casting that doesn't work AT ALL.

Where are your ratings sourced, Gene? South Korean airs or from where? Asking to be more knowledgeable, not questioning the validity of the ratings.

I went in without the full undeserstanding and finished, and am done with SG forever.

Finished S3 this morn, and understandably Gong Yoo is a given but I won't watch S2. I'm done with this mess.

Has the screaming men around the pit with the 2 fiercest dogs fighting to the death vibes. Yet this is another country's citizens, so xenophobia vibes.

Bringing good ole American values into the Korean world via the American platform Netflix who insisted there be American actors in the series or else the series would've stopped being a series at S1. Adding American actors and a gun gives the series more 'weight' according to Netflix.

I haven't started and really don't think I should. I've been on a nothing-that-destroys-my-soul bent this year. I don't think this will add to my life in any way.

It's Netflix, hun. I don't put anything pass Netflix.
