1. Dong Hee's fiance got punished and the wedding is off. YAY.2. Dong Hee and Grace had their Lois/Superman moment.3.…
To me 5. -if true- seems like something that really shouldn't have happened considering past events. But I'll take it if we get a cool happy ending this way.
honestly? Its not worth it. 22 episodes out and the only good episodes are the first 4. the writer has the characters…
It's the typical soap format where you will understand the whole plot even if you skip over half of the drama, which many weekend drama watching Koreans do..
No, I have mistaken it with Love in a Shoestring. How did I even make that comment here xD (oh well shamelessly deleted, let's hope my comment won't influence seno's decision in dropping this)
It has one, but it's weak in the sense that it's resolved around half way in & following that it's nonexistent.
I watched this drama around the time when I watched Jealousy Incarnate, perhaps the large contrast influenced my opinion. Eventually I'll revisit this drama & perhaps remove it from this list then..

I get it that you would find this choice controversial & that is fair.
It's been a long time since I've seen the show, but as far as I remember. 1) FL spent very little time with her crush 2) It ended without any conflict at all. 3) Second ML did not even really try anything, little screen time or not.
To me this is what a weak triangle is like, though admittedly I do remember being a bit uncertain if it should be added to this list.
Why?Isn't the quality of the end in terms of writing, logic, flow, and whether it makes sense or not should be…
>There are lots of people (maybe even the majority) who place disproprtional importance to the end.
1. The international markets are not a priority. 2. If they managed to get Koreans to watch the last episode, then the ad revenue is already a done deal, their opinions after the fact don't matter very much. 3. Most people are not as butthurt over botched endings as I am. 4. The writers during live writing tend to be extremely overworked.. (fatigue + lack of motivation for the final episode)

As for Atypical Family, I think they have kind of a black humor / healing thing going on, ending it with one of them dying would be objectively bad. It's not just my strong dislike of bad endings talking.
I don't remember anything in the OG series that'd rly need to be 'censored' by Chinese standards, maybe nozaki…
As I said a normal human cannot even imagine what the censors can find an issue with and they ALWAYS have some "constructive" criticism to show they are doing work. That's why almost all Chinese dramas have some strangely out place of dialog here and there, at times when the characters don't even move their lips on screen.

>this is the type of attitude that make writers sometimes solve things in the most awful way in just 15 mins just to make it a happy ending.
They do that, because the writing quality of the final episode has no commercial relevance, so there is no incentive to do a good job. (and the penultimate episode ending with a cliffy does have a measurable effect on viewership)
It's been good so far, but I fear for the final episodes. I will certainly downrate the drama to oblivion, if they make it a sad ending after all this.
Passing censorship is very hard & sometimes the holdup happens due to arbitrary or crazy reasons, beyond just ideological ghosts.
Iqiyi changing the status to "coming soon" probably means the censors are done, but the actors/voice actors still have to go back to the studio to record some adjusted dialog, once that's done iqiyi needs to insert it into their schedule. So this could still take months.
When it comes to cdramas it's really ill advised to be too hyped about upcoming releases, because there is no certainty until you can literally watch the first episode.

There are a few good ones, like `Once Again`.
