Can someone please respond to this comment when they are finally out of high school. I don't want to bother with the show if that happens too late!

Are you sure, I just looked this up & the uni freshman registration seems to be chapter 65 out of 185.

Never mind, I checked it. It's chapter 65 out of 185.

Can you give me a spoiler, in the novel when does the high school life end, how deep in?

I don't think there are MDL rating trends. The ratings are so heavily influenced by botting, haters & blind fans that the end result means literally nothing, whatever it is.

Seems like an industry trend that big stars come to cruise in a "romcom" & don't try at all anymore.

I'm watching this right now & I'm on e5. I think the issue here is that Seo In Guk seems bland and robotic even compared to typical cdrama ML acting performances, very unlike what he is normally like btw.

There is also scoring bias due to typical cdrama watchers knowing what to expect there.

And in general MDL ratings cannot be trusted at all. Some kdramas are uplifted by thousands of bot votes & some others are bombed by haters or the bots belonging to the timeslot's competing show's company.

I think Love Scout is very different, other than it also being about corporate droning.

My similar -but perhaps more fitting- pick would be A Piece of Your Mind, which is also about recovering from a lost relationship in a way that is somewhat similar, but way more vibey and not bland. Probably I should just watch it again..

I really liked him in Doom at Your Service, but yeah he seems to be on autopilot here.

Ok, I'll bite thanks to your comment! If the show is a disappointment I'll be mildly displeased & will not get back to you.

I think his acting range is very limited, but the awkward top student persona fits him, so it should be fine.

No. (though I'm yet two watch the special episodes)

Right, taming the playboy is always the side couple ark.

Does this have a happy ending?

I agree that if he has indeed bonked a 17yo at his age that is quite deplorable & against the law, BUT THERE IS NO WAY FOR YOU A RANDOM PERSON ON THE INTERNET to actually know if it actually happened, this is what we have the courts for. Yes, courts occasionally err, but they are still better on average than netizens. In this case there are conflicting narratives in a society where even supposedly grieving parents are known to occasionally do absolutely anything for free money. (as a non Asian most people wouldn't understand this)

However speaking of education, this is not pedophilia, being a pedo is all about being attracted to prepubescent children. The term you were looking for is maybe ephebophilia, but it's not a well known word, because most men can be attracted by a pretty 17 yo if they pretend to be 20. Knowing it's wrong & ignoring that natural biological attraction is what makes you a law abiding normal non sociopathic member of society.

Not saying it's right, but in Korean society high school bullying is so commonplace that probably over 50% participated in it at least once in their life. So watching a production that has no -former- bullies in it is kind of impossible.

He could be trash, he could not be trash, there is literally no way to know at this point.
However we do know that Tom Cruise is a member of the cult that is the church of Scientology, if he is not cancelled, why would Kim Soo Hyun need to be cancelled. Might as well enjoy the art not the artist, right?

How unearned money is treated on Korean TV is basically self censorship & is always treated like this.
Thank you for the review, I'll pass on this drama after reading it.

ok so spoilers please, when do they get together & when does the high school part end?

I would be willing to bet 10% of my net worth that in the Korean version that character will be way way way more extreme, with more screen time & the usual love triangle crap.
