Could be YT's stupid algorithm that keeps serving me up trailers to this show for days now, but I think it's coming soon (ish). Wouldn't be surprised if this was out by the end of May, early June.
No one plowed new ground with this mini drama, but everyone is pretty, there's a tiny, but fun level of kink, and it's short. It isn't going to be to everyone's taste, but I liked it--well enough to watch it again later.
Biggest gripe is that the version I watched had white English subtitles right on top of white Mandarin subtitles, which is a nightmare. Better than no subtitles, I guess.
I recently watched this show again, giving it the attention the second time I didn't give it the first time I watched it.
It's a good, entertaining show. Should have been 12 episodes. Episodes 1-10 are excellent. Skip episodes 11 - 14 which are unnecessary nonsense, and then watch episodes 15 and 16, or just episode 16.
This is a title like "Sh**ting Stars" which my brain never failed to translate as "Shitting Stars". I thought that show was slow and boring, but, to be fair, I think that show's title may have had something to do with my overall not liking it.
This show gave itself a black eye already with its title. I'm no marketing genius (wait, yes, I am) but why start your show off with a prejudicial title like this?
Anyone know how many episodes this will be? MDL says 12, elsewhere says 16. (This is a thing to know so you don't drive yourself nuts binging, thinking you can finish, but then it turns out there are four other episodes.)
I think that it was worth the watch until you get to the more recent episodes. The last few weeks have been terrible.
This is a continuing problem for shows that air everyday for months on end--writers get caught up in day to day storytelling, and then either forget or ignore the original story arc they had in mind, including how they wanted to the show to end (assuming they outlined or charted the story in the first place.)
Show is not as bad as comments here make it, but it is sort of all over the place. Lee Bo Young does these kinds of roles quite well, but she's in danger of becoming typecast as this particular type of character: complex, intense, stoic. She plays this character type in "Hide" , in"Whisper", in "Agency", If she picks future dramas with same type of character, you won't even have to watch it to know what it's going to be about.
Also, (and there are bigger problems with the drama than this) I liked Do Jin Woo, but he's like an air fern. He has no visible means of support and seems to live nowhere. These details aren't integral to the plot, but without some detail to make him real, he's very two-dimensional.
Unless you're a die hard fan of these actors, you can skip this drama and you won't be missing much.
It turned out this drama is a morality play, a genre that I find annoying. The main character is not ML - it it…
I appreciate your comment a lot. Quite thoughtful. I would only add that elder loneliness is a problem everywhere, particularly in the US. The very old in the US, who have outlived their family and friends, suffer quite a lot.
For this reason, wherever you live, adopt an old person by visiting them, checking on them, engaging them in conversation. This is a very loving thing to do.

She provoked him? If you make someone jealous, they get to beat the shit out of you? The hell is wrong with you?
If you haven't started this drama yet, don't even think about it.
