YES! That was so on point. Especially the ml's hair and overacting. I laughed so much

Well, he is not the first lead but still one of the leads. Which means he will have a fair amount of screentime. Producers chose him and it's a good sign. He seems to slowly recover after the scandal.

As for the drama which was filmed before the scandal, it seems unlikely to be aired any time soon if ever.

What about this drama then? https://kisskh.at/30908-zi-chuan
It was filmed last year. And there is a movie which also was filmed last year. He has a support role there but still https://kisskh.at/693055-fu-bei The movie is about to be aired on 9th September.

So well said. She planned from the beginning to ruin him. It was an ugly thing to do. Especially knowing how it would affect not only him but other people.

So true, still sorry for Xiang Chen. I hope for his comeback too.
So unfair that their private affairs influence their job

Judging by the other somewhat similar scandals, Zhang Ming en’s for example, sadly his dramas will be put on hold and not sure if they will ever be aired
On the other hand Zhang Ming en is still cast in new films/dramas, which means Xu Kaichen may not be cancelled permanently. There is hope at least.
P.s. Is there a plan to ruin all good actors , I wonder?

Omg, my thoughts exactly.
Luli is made to look like a victim while she is the one lying to him first to get a job than to marry him then lying about his child. When asked directly if she loved him she flatly denied it. And later she found out he was blackmailed into marriage. And still she expected him to love her! Ridiculous and infuriating
And i got to like Zi Tong and Yi Ming too despite her being obsessed with him. At least the girl was open about her feelings and harmless.

Accusation may be too strong a word. What i mean is that your examples are invalid. Hotstove league has no romance, as for his new dramas it is not clear yet if there will be any romance, highly probable there will be none. But you say he "always" chooses younger actresses which is not true at all. I won't be surprised if the same goes for So Ji Sub though i am not as familiar with his works.

As for SHK i see mostly people criticize her poor acting skills which does not equals bullying but is a matter of opinion and her choosing similar roles acting along much younger actors which does not mean people dislike noona romances on the whole.

Just out of curiosity what are the dramas of Namgoong Min where he acts with a decade younger actresses ?
His recent dramas do not even have romance at all so the age gap there is irrelevant, and the only one where his FL is considerably younger is Beautiful Gong Shim back from 2016.
Like one drama in his long list of works.
So it seems the accusation is unfounded, isn't it

I can't agree more. I found him and his acting fitting the role perfectly. I started watching the drama because of Deng Wei (he is certainly gorgeous) however Yan Zidong easily won me over. He has some sweet charm about him. And the acting is very good too!

I suspected the police chief from the start but i thought it was impossible for the tiny middle-aged woman to handle bags with dead bodies which weight at least 45-50 kg, most probably even more.
But no, it turned out she did do it. She collected those super heavy bags from around the city, brought them to the station, boarded the train and then threw them out the doors to the railways 2 meters away all by herself. She is Wonder woman or what?

I've read it'll be multi-seasonal, the first 8 episodes being Season 1.
Not a fan of Song HK, her acting always seems so bland to me but I am glad to see Park Sung Hoon after Joseon Exorcist controversy.
The plotline of a victim bullying her tormentors' kids feels totally wrong though, elementary school students at that. Maybe it won't go that way.

Doesn’t Andrei speak Korean with foreign accent and isn’t Russian shown to be his first language? How then can he be Yun Ho?
He even said “long time no see” in Russian..

I agree with your explanation of what happened in the past. I do not think K murdered anyone. He might have been made to think so though. The same way the barber thinks he killed YunHo's father.
I think it's the therapist. Because he is connected to the youth center where everything started and now the patients from the center repeat the pattern of murdering abusive parents/partners.
Andrei and boss Yong may be victims of abuse in childhood. And they may know YunHo since then.

Jung Sung il

Only the first 3 episodes are for free now, from ep 4 you need to have a paid subscription

I've read an interview with Kim Ji Hoon (Denver) the other day. He said he had finished filming the drama recently and it had taken 12 month to film. I guess it is now in postproduction.

Their Russian is awful honestly, especially the man's. However it is possible to understand. because they say one-two words, not even phrases.
On the other hand I wonder if they imitate the accent speaking Korean. Not sure but it sounds that way to me.

Russian

Same thing with me. He has not had that much of screen time but I like him the most. Especially his soulful eyes.
A great choice of an actor for the character.
