Yes i was thinking the exact same thing. It's a jtbc paid cable tv drama so i guess focus is on local ratings more than global audience

I feel both actors seemed over the top at times but it's how the char were written i think

From these 2 episodes i don't think we can label the ML as complete simp. I mean a simp would have followed her to seoul and begged her to take him back.😃and in his small town with mostly old people i guess he didn't find a girl who could sweep him off his feet. Also, it's entirely possible that he let her go so that she won't have an attachment in her town and he stayed back to protect his village.we will have to wait and watch Still JCW never fails to surprise me- just 2 months back he was a sigma police officer/gangster who literally bit a guy's neck off and bathed in his blood and now he's a cute loving town man🤣

It's like they want to combine all tropes people don't like.

Yeah i watched it, JCW was great in it but sadly it didn't get much viewership so probably he won't get casted in those type of roles again

2nd episode was much better in my opinion. Hopefully it will go upwards from here. Not downwards. But seriously though, can we please see JCW in a serious romance or thriller romance. He's the romcom 👑 but i am getting tired seeing the LITC and suspicious partner type of jcw character. Typecasting is so severe in korea i am actually surprised he managed to do so many different genres over the years.

I think it will be available around 9 pm, Netflix usually airs 2 hrs later

Yeah i really hope that they won't drag the love triangle and haesun's ex bf for too long in the story but unfortunately its 16 ep so i feel as if they will. Honestly i will just watch it for jcw and shs. Premise of the story seems very cliche hopefully they will have atleast a decent story which can drag on for 16 ep

Anyone knows the ratings of " the worst of evil" ? I mean in terms of popularity is it a superhit?

It will be so fun to see the 2016 JCW in 2023 lol. Almost like time travel

Just give good writing and direction to JCW and he will fire up the screen ( case in point: empress ki ,healer)

That's great 👍

JCW got paid for this right?

Melting me softly was probably his lowest point. Not that he was bad in it but the show was trash and it didn't even feel like i was watching JCW. Anyone could hv done that role(except the kisses 😜)

Yeah he's incredibly talented. Perhaps he didn't want to waste an opportunity like healer and k2 and after that he got typecasted into those kind of roles. Also I wonder how many top shows similar to empress Ki have been there. Maybe he didn't find those good enough or already committed to other roles. But yeah you are completely right about his wasted talent due to poor choice/lack of projects. I am relatively new to the kdrama scene but aren't most kdramas lacking in depth? It's totally possible that he didn't get a project like empress Ki

As per my understanding they were friends but became lovers and then broke up. Story will be about their reunion

Yeah it's kinda true, but i feel most of his pre military dramas were huge hits. Post military he intentionally stayed away from action and most of the writing of his romance shows were below average. Still i guess people (including me) liked lovestruck in the city and if you wish upon me. But yeah most of his post military works didn't create much hype. At the end of the day, he has been one of the biggest stars for a decade so i guess it doesn't really matter (people recognise his talent)

I see. Thanks for the info

They are promoting it as a healing drama so i really hope it won't be a sad ending atleast.

I hope jcw doesn't die too soon in the drama
