None

With no explanation why she couldn’t talk in the past, or did I miss it? All of a sudden she can talk, as if it has shock value for us.

This is the lowest drama I have rated this year. 3/10. 1 for Park Hyung Sik, 1 for Seo In Guk and 1 for the staff (post production — cleaners, etc who has nothing to do with the writing or directing) for the effort in making this. Sorry but this is a train-wreck, hot mess. Def not watching if ever a S2 is announced. Save your 8 hours and avoid this at all cost. You won’t be missing anything, trust me.

I am having the biggest second hand embarrassment for the big names on the cast. No amount of Kopiko can perk me up right now.

If you’re into sports drama, Racket Boys is a good watch. Similar vibe like Winning Try

The only thing I hate about this drama is the time slot. With all the yummy food being cooked, you crave at worst yet you cannot order anything late at night. I love this show nevertheless!

P.S.
Torturing myself with EP35 of Chef and My Fridge 2 now. Back to back for food.

Save your 8 hours, you won’t be missing anything

The mere fact that I was able to finish watching this quickly is a testament that I enjoyed this drama. What a friendship!

Exactly! I actually submitted a page for it here but it didn’t get published

I don’t hate anyone on this series at all. In fact I was excited to see this since I enjoyed Squad 38 with Don Lee, SIG and the guy with the role of Doni. But this show is really not giving! I saw that they are gunning for an Eternals vibes but nope, too much frustration on their idiocy since they have lived for a hundred maybe a thousand years and used to be “gods”. The source material is the problem and the direction.

Yes BTB screenwriter is an active lawyer as per AllKPop article

“Meanwhile, screenwriter Park Mi Hyun, who is still active as a lawyer, brings authenticity and depth with details drawn from her real-life experiences.”

Kudos to the screenwriter. Found out she’s a lawyer herself and Beyond The Bar seems to be her debut project in mainstream screenwriting. I look forward to seeing more of her projects especially legal ones. I will miss this show.

Now delivering, ”The Eternals“ from Temu 🤣

Maybe this is his expensive therapy project for his short lived role

Coz he’s also the screenwriter. I feel he is venting his short lived role in the Eternals.

I love this show! It’s now officially on my top picks for the legal genre.

This show is super frustrating to watch, all the helplessness and idiocy. Why do I feel like it has become a very expensive self-promoting Don Lee movie? Such a waste of cast.

Lost in Starlight anyone? He voiced the ML there. It was a pretty good animated movie on Netflix.

Why are we not including her movie Lost In Starlight? Doesn’t it count for her filmography since it’s only voice?

This drama is almost halfway done but it is too damn slow. Borefest.

I think this is my least fave Lee Dong Wook project. I finished if for the sake of my time investment but he clearly has ZERO chemistry with Lee Sung Kyung. I was hoping at the end, they will show how his old gang ended up.

This drama has the music aspect to it but it is not giving, half-baked if I may say. What kept me going honestly is the family dynamics. The bromance is more interesting with Park Hoon. Not a fan of the leads’ romantic arc. 7/10.
