I LOVE a good scheme-filled drama! My biggest issue with The Double was that I felt it was slow especially in the revenge aspect. But red flags and betrayals are A-okay in my books! How was the pacing for The Double?

Ugh. This drama holds such a near and dear place in my heart. It was my 2nd ever Xianxia and even with all the newer, higher budget shows this guy has some magic that's hard to replicate! <3

As someone that didn't really like The Double is this show still worth watching? I know they're written by the same person.

English Subbed. KSH appears at the 35 second mark.

So I watched his little press conference... All 30+ minutes of it and this guy spends the whole time just "whoa is me, my life has imploded" through the whole thing. Before he even addresses the pedo allegations, he talks about the advice he got to just wait it out and have a comeback later... smh my eyes rolled into the back of my head from how hard I rolled my eyes. The entire press conference just reeked of self-victimization and narcissism. I really hope that the public doesn't let up and "move on" from this. (not saying I wish him harm, but I don't think that he should recover from this and continue as a SK top star.)
He didn't even say her name once. He didn't even say sorry that she lost her life so young once. The fact that your ex (of however many years) reaches out to you for help and you stonewall her only for her to kill herself on your birthday... ugh. Words can't describe how callous someone has to be to only fucking care once it affects his bottom line ($$$).

This is a voting based list, so the multiple people that voted for DJX as a green flag ML would have to disagree. Though, spot 42 isn't even that high on this list...
Personally, I disagree. Having seen (and loved) Hidden Love, it's an obvious "she fell first but he fell harder" kind of story with no "lines" being crossed until the FL is in college AND an adult.
BUT everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Just don't vote for any show that you don't agree with.

Updated :)

I just spent the past hour getting caught up on the KSH & KSR controversy. And the more I read, the more fking disgusting this guy gets. It saddens me, that he'll probably take a loss of reputation and then bounce back in one way or another 2-3 years from now, whereas the young and groomed KSR's ENTIRE LIFE ended. (And lowkey even more tragic is it took her DYING for this to even gain any kind of attention at all.)

Ugh. Make it make sense. People like Yoo Ah In get things thrown at them and and treated like scum on Earth for taking drugs (which only affects/harms himself!), whereas pedos like KSH will continue on with their power & prestige facing minimal repercussions for his part in hounding that poor girl to her death.

Literally! He's so much cuter than the stern alien looking guy in the pp.

For new potential viewers, the fact that this comments section is STILL this active almost 2 years after LYF came out tells you everything you need to know. Though, S1 >>>>> S2. (IMO)

To enjoy this film you gotta stay for the action and just shut off the logic-portion of your brain, lol.

You're right I just hadn't updated this list. The ones airing have been changed. Plus Riverside Code was removed. :)
(Also, I don't really keep track of distribution licenses anymore cuz airing isn't guaranteed)

Good to know. Any chance you can expand as to exactly what happens to them? (+ Jiang family)

The show's not bad or anything, but real life commitments basically mean I'll have to drop/put on hold for a while...

Can someone just fully spoil me on the outcome for the villains?
As in what happens to the ex husband? The stepmom? And the psycho princess? Also, do the Jiang family find out about the FL’s true identity?

I'm genuinely so curious as to who the ML & FL end up being!!!

Even though it's my 4th watch, her eyebrows still take a couple episodes to get used to, lol! xD

^Ivy described the "love square" aspect of the show perfectly.

I spit out my drink, lmao. 10/10 comment right here!

No worries! I agree with you that the 250/300 number is surprising. Though, with successful projects like Squid Games (for Netflix) and Moving (for Disney+) streaming services/international appeal has bumped up the number of big budget shows with top stars considerably.
Besides, as someone that watches more Asian shows/movies than western, I'm not complaining lol. xD

Dramas like When the Phone Rings are why I wait for a show to be completed regardless of hype. This one just seemed too interesting to hold off on, so imagine my extreme disappointment with that braindead ending that turned a solid 8.5-9/10 drama into a straight up 2/10. I averaged it out to 5.5, but like wtf was with Argon and "I have to punish myself". 🤡

*even without the alleged (because I've read that it might've been mistranslated?) Zionism, the ending was a steaming pile of dog poop*
