They always are. I see them in makeup ads all the time and I wonder if I’m supposed to ignore them or pretend that they look good? Anyway, the overly yellow tone of the nails was not a good choice; made her look like a chain smoker with nicotine stains. 🫤

OK, but he wasn’t in the same home (palace?), he was at a hotel! I’ve seen parents letting themselves into their kids’ apartments without “permission” on various shows, sometimes to comedic effect.

But I can’t imagine the same lack of boundaries would apply when one of the family members has literally rented an entire suite of rooms at a hotel to get away from said other family members!

it’s a Hallmark movie version of a Disney movie from what I can tell. Except longer and set in alternate universe Korea. Unrealistic for sure, but the Prince’s interactions with the little King are sweet enough to keep me watching for now.

I was prepared to hate the next part too, especially after being thoroughly gutted by the ending of part 1. But even with my stubborn self it won me over. It feels like the storyline was always intended to be part of the full arc, like there were dangling threads that you didn’t even notice that are being pulled and woven back into the finished piece. By the end, you find yourself wondering if it was the ending that was always envisioned. I think the shorter episode count also forces the narrative to move along a bit more swiftly. But I also didn’t mind the pacing of the first season, it allowed the viewer to really get to know the characters and feel for them.

the stupidity of the ML arguing that he didn’t want her to be haunted by killing… while standing among the bloody bodies of the assassins she and her uncle just finished fighting…!

😂😂😂

I had no issues with the leads’ respective ages or level of attractiveness. I just didn’t think there was any romantic chemistry there. The actors made great best friends, and were very good at the sort of bickering companions type of thing, I had no issue with that. I just… didn’t buy that they were romantically in love. Did they ever even kiss? (I honestly can’t remember.) The ML’s pouting and hysterics compared to the FL’s seriousness and dedication probably didn’t help my general opinion of the relationship overall, but I just felt like they were buddies and not lovers every time I saw them together.

Can anyone *please* tell me the name / artist of the song that plays at the end of episode 3?? Shazam failed me, Google AI came up empty, and the Cashero playlist on Apple Music doesn’t include anything that sounds even remotely similar. If you recognized it, please help a gal out!

I think that’s kind of the point. It’s a metaphor for being an adult, in which you are forced to make all manner of painful choices between money and family/fun/things you want to do/own/buy, etc. Without knowing anything else about this project, I’m already imagining it as a graphic novel for the YA crowd, and would be surprised to learn that it ISN’T some type of preexisting work popular with teens.

In some ways, it reminded me of Scrubs, one of my favorite shows ever. it’s also the show most often cited by US doctors as being the most accurate depiction of life as a doctor.

What does that mean - Netflixed?

…created by? picked up by? ruined by?

Apologies if this is common terminology; I only come to the comments/reviews when I have questions (like “what the heck just happened?!?”).

I don’t know, the three men are meant to be well-known acknowledged musical geniuses. I think it’s meant to be a “supergroup” that attracts attention and fans largely on the strength of their existing reputations, along with that first performance showing that they’ve got something good and worth checking out. It’s not without precedent: consider 60s examples Cream or Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; The Highwaymen in the 80s; or The Three Tenors in the 90s. Certainly it’s harder to sell out an arena these days, but there are a number of things in the show that are a bit old-fashioned (most tv shows seem to continue relying on old tropes and paradigms since they work better onscreen than “oh yay, our music is at the top of the streaming charts!” or similar).

He was obviously a person with albinism, which is a genetic mutation - and he probably had another that caused the height. At least that was my assumption once we got a decent look at him. But the rest - why and how he became involved with the child-trafficking, who he received his orders from, whether he chose the children or was told which children to take, who he reported to, etc. - all of that was very unclear, and made his character seem like nothing more than a plot device for the characters to chase at the beginning.
