The cons in this drama are so unbelievable, as are a lot of the people who get conned, but I found myself ignoring all of that for the majority of the drama because it was just so damn entertaining!
am i the only one who thinks that the kim jaeyoung is freaking hot in this drama with the saguk costume damn.
Dang, i was thinking the complete opposite haha...i thought he looked great in Hello Monster, but wish we could see his hair here. Maybe if he got to wear something other than all black
I don't think I've watched any early 2000's historical, the earliest is Scarlet Heart which is 2011 and Sungkyunkwan…
Ah, I don't remember too much of them since I watched most of them during my childhood, but if you want a classic, Princess Pearl! (Really old though, you might not like haha, style is completely different from historicals these days.)
Only other ones that come to mind are Madame White Snake and Twin of Brothers.
oof this reminds me I need to finish scarlet heart ryeo... I lovelovelove the costumes they wear in historicals; so elegant!
Also if you date way in early 2000s, fantasy-esque Chinese historicals, the female characters all have really unique gorgeous hairstyles and accessories.
It's less about low ratings, but more towards the fact that the drama has consistently been pulling in lower ratings…
Both of the series you mentioned are on non cable television, while this is aired on tvn, so it's not the most accurate comparison, not the mention the time slots only align through half the episode.
What you say about about quality and popularity is true, but they aren't mutually exclusive. Which comes to your example--Life on Mars was very successful even if we don't consider it airing on OCN. It's the third most successful drama from OCN, and 35th all time cable drama.
Regardless, I fail to understand why ratings shouldn't be discussed. They are still a topic of weekly discussion. If you find them tiring, you can ignore them, but asking people to stop discussing something relevant to a drama doesn't make any sense. It's not like the comments are being flooded with talk about ratings. Discussion is nice, much like this one. I'll take into consideration your view though, and perhaps discuss ratings after the drama has finished airing, since I'm pretty sure it was directed at me :^)
Can we stop fretting over ratings and just appreciate the dramas quality lol? Most dramas on cable networks face…
It's less about low ratings, but more towards the fact that the drama has consistently been pulling in lower ratings every week. It's about the drop. Just to note, it started at 4% and is now 2.66% that's a 30% drop, which is very unnatural.
If you enjoy a drama and are a fan of its actors, it should only be natural to hope for success for the drama and the actors.
I keep saying the OST impresses me every episode, but then we get a new song in episode 8, and mind blown once again. The song that plays just before the ending credits with Someday, it was so beautiful.
This drama gets better and better with every passing episode!
Some questions answered, more arise. I was not expecting both Woo Sang and Seung Ah to die; that was really abrupt. I'm wondering what really happened in that car crash. How did CEO Hwang manipulate it? Woo Sang dying wasn't farfetched, but how did Moo Young sustain zero physical injuries? I'm guessing that she had Seung Ah killed off--the death of both Woo Sang and Seung Ah probably profits her position greatly, but I'm wondering what role Moo Young had in this. I doubt he did it for the money.
We get to see a lot of emotions from Jin Kang in ep 7 and 8. Jung So Min is doing *such* an amazing job. She doesn't fully realize it, but she's drawn to him regardless of the things Moo Young does (further shown by the preview). To which, speaking of, I'm having the worst time trying to figure out what's going through Moo Young's mind, and perhaps it is also why Jin Kang is so drawn to him. He's excruciatingly difficult to read, his actions questionable. Jin Kang definitely subconsciously feels a connection to him, and so desperately wants to figure him out (as are most of us I assume, at least the ones that haven't seen the original).
I want to refer to Moo Young as a sociopath, but I'm not sure if calling him that would be completely accurate. Perhaps he is indifferent towards people and events that occur around him, in this case Woo Sang and Seung Ah, but I feel his emotions towards Jin Kang are very genuine. He truly is a mystery to me, and I think that's one of main reasons I'm loving this drama--it keeps me guessing.
I put this on hold since 4 eps, since I felt like it wasn't going in an exciting direction despite episodes 1-2 being very enjoyable. Seeing the current comments is saddening.
True .. the episode was intense especially when she comes running towards him to avoid him getting hurt..And jin…
she conveyed so much in that scene; I could feel the pain and fear in her voice. Although there's been limited scenes and I might be taking a jump, I think it's important to note that we only see her display such powerful emotions when she senses Moo Young in danger. (also referring back to when he pretended his arm got stuck at work)
The way Jin Kang came running in when she saw Moo Young get hit by the bat--it was so intense, I think her actual…
ffff that episode was so intense. It was a rollercoaster, except the coaster was broken at the end and flew off the rails. I need 8 right now! Also let me take a moment to appreciate the bgm ost. IT IS FIRE.
nam ji hyun please pick up more cute rich guys with amnesia

Really disheartening to see... I am glad many people on MDL are enjoying this drama at the very least.
Speaking of, here's the MV for Someday! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1SrKw7M0BI
The last chorus so powerful.

I hope it gets better towards the end.
Note protagonist is not synonymous with 'hero', likewise antagonist does not mean 'villain'.
