So what's your reason for not liking her? Just curious.

This is helpful to know. I have a separate Doc for each country's dramas, though, and I like to keep them together. A Doc for J-dramas, K-dramas, etc which lets me see the view as a whole versus individual dramas.
I'll have to explore the MDL possibilities more...

I use both a Google Doc and here. I like the Docs option more because I note scenes I like and a bunch of other nerdy info that I don't need anyone else reading. :-)

Well, if that's the case, then that's stupid.

I am SO GRATEFUL for all of your subbing work!! You have made it possible to see some J-dramas that I would have never been able to see otherwise. Thank you! (And I'm going to go on your site and buy you a coffee right now...) :-)

I'm confused - so many comments here are positive about this fantastic drama, so why has the rating actually gone DOWN from 8.3 to 8.2?
And I get it, many of us don't trust the ratings system here, etc, etc, but still - it's weird?!

It's actually one of my favorite dramas. It takes some patience to see how things sift out by the end though.

I wish I read Japanese because I'd love to read this article....

I have a Google Doc that I use to document everything that I've watched and am currently watching, and when I take a break from a drama, I label it "in process" rather than dropped. I think it's a more positive way of looking at the whole thing. Because often I'm just not in the mood for a certain kind of drama or it wasn't the right time for it, etc, but it might be again in the future.

Sometimes dramas get spoiled for me, especially if I'm impatient and I read too much about it on MDL. So if I know the ending, it often causes me to stop watching the drama for a while - especially if it's a sad ending. But there might be a time where I want to watch something sad, so I have that particular drama to "look forward to" so to speak.

Also, and it's weird, I know, but sometimes I like a drama SO much that I don't want it to end, so I actually stop watching it for a bit. And sometimes that "bit" stretches on into a substantial period of time but it's really an "in process" drama and not a dropped drama.

Someday or One Day is a masterpiece - it takes time to develop and patience to see how the pieces are falling together.

It is so incredibly good. I can't wait for episode nine.....

"I have this awful habit of not watching the final episodes of anything. Sometimes it's because I don't want it to end..." This is me too!!! I try hard to finish what I started, especially when I love the drama, but this reason is underrepresented in this conversation - that finishing the drama would mean that it's over.

Yes. As soon as he realized that Shun liked Mashiba, he backed down immediately - the opposite of what the orca is currently doing.

Interesting - they're not dubbed in my region, thankfully.

Agreed! But I don't think it's bad writing.

Characters are allowed to change - that's kind of the whole point of a drama. However, I would argue that the president isn't really changing at all, he's simply showing his true self. (He's an orca after all.)

It was the "last coke in the desert" for me. :-)

Characters don't generally stay the same after the first or second episode. That's the whole point of the story.

On the AiB2 MDL site the first comment is about how the drama is possibly in pre-production by now. The pandemic is holding everything up but hopefully we’ll hear something more clear by the summer?

I’m very excited for the second season!
