Unusual Cdrama--outstanding performances, well-written script, excellent elements like lighting, sets, costuming etc. Professional production all the way. A rare instance where nearly everything is perfect and I wind up not liking the show anyway.

We'll see. Nothing's aired yet. If he's as famously awful as Korean history notes, it will be interesting to see if they try to rehabilitate him, and if they do, how that's received by Korean audience,

Even if it's the funniest writer, director and producer on Earth, there is nothing they can write that produces a romantic comedy with Stalin or Hitler, not in a thousand years.
By the time this show ended I was nearly desperate for it to finish. Even skipping with gusto, this was such a chore to get through. I hated every character. I hated the hairstyling. I hated the makeup. I hated the tiresome, repetitive plot.
Show was much better than I expected. A few plot holes, but overall, very, very entertaining.
Sometimes, you feel hungry for a show that's tight, well-plotted, diverting and keeps you watching and you sample half a dozen, turned off by the first episode, or even the first ten minutes. Watch this one if you want to skip the sampling.
This is just somebody saying something on the internet. How about we get some evidence to back up on the claims…
It was their choice to work on the production AND it's credible that people were treated badly on set. Both of these things are possible. Even probable.
In the US, there are very strong, active Unions which aggressively prohibit the mistreatment of both actors (and extras) and crew. Where exceptions must exist, everyone is financially compensated. The reason I know this is because a family member is employed in the industry and is a member of IATSE.
Netflix knows better than this. It's an American company, and producing a show outside of the US should not be--and most probably IS--a reason for Netflix to permit things that would not be acceptable for a US production.
The Korean production company doesn't get a wave-off, either. If they represented to Netflix that they were treating cast and crew within Netflix's guidelines--and then didn't, that's also on Netflix. They're responsible for verifying how the production company complies. If they looked the other way--and they probably did--shame on Netflix for accepting shit from a Korean production company that would have shut down a production in the US.
Does she watch the news ?! or is she high ? in the current climate with Trump in power and the state of the US,…
Not the way I would have put it, but I have to agree that this is not a good time for non-citizens to travel to the US (although I presume her money and fame might give her some benefits not afforded to other visitors.) Unless she and her husband have no options but travel to the US, I hope someone she trusts and who is wise sits her down and talks to her about the risks of coming to the US.
Whenever I've watched a Cdrama (less often, a Kdrama) where the Emperor or King orders the murder of an alleged wrong-doers family or clan, it's struck me that this concept of "justice" is still current--like this situation, for example.
Hold people who do wrong accountable for what they do, but punishing innocent family members for the crime of being related to the wrong-doer is uncivilized and barbaric.
It is preposterous that Lee Seung Gi is publicly apologizing for the actions of an in-law.
Gosh, I thought only Americans produced sequels and prequels for mediocre originals.
"Yumi's Cells", #1--the storytelling wasn't all that great, but didn't we love and enjoy the animated characters in her brain?
"Yumi's Cells #2"--hey, pretty good idea, maybe, so the defects in the original story can be changed and corrected, right? Plus, those fun brain characters again. What's not to like?
"Yumi's Cells #3"-- ha, ha, no. Not falling for this again. Story will be just as unsatisfying as it was in the first two , plus the brain characters thing is done and done.
Awful.

Okay. That's my piece.
Do better, Netflix.

But my goodness. The crappiness of the FL's family is as bad as anything I've seen in a vertical drama,
Lol. Exactly. Exactly.
