I can't believe its 2023 and people (Korea) still casually make fat jokes
In terms of being open and inclusive the Korean society is similar to America in the sixties. You know 'I Dream of Jeannie' and stuff.. (and they have their own problems with extreme toxicity that America never had)
While I don't think fat jokes are fine, I can just press my FF button & enjoy the rest of the show. (Also consider that in Korea very few people are fat, so there is very little pushback)
On ep. 5 Kdramas, can we please stop adding random white people? Especially when they can't act worth a damn..…
The horrible English is oftentimes on the Korean voice actor, because yes they do that. They hire actors capable of speaking decent English & then dub over their voices to make it easier to understand for Koreans, despite the subs.
There is no love triangle and kang hee sik is the male and another one is villen
That's not what I meant. The drama is written while the show is airing. The writers could arbitrarily conjure up a childhood engagement and completely ruin the show, if they think the ML is not popular. (or just to spice things up)
There is no love triangle and kang hee sik is the male and another one is villen
The tag is only added after the fact. If it's filmed live, perhaps even the writers aren't sure at this point. They could literally cast someone new on the fly to be a new love interest.
What makes this drama special compared to other school dramas? try watching it twice and dropping it on eps 3,…
I'm barely past half way in, but around ep10 it becomes magical, somehow. It's like suddenly everything works. The early episodes are rather typical, well other than the weird deny-dating thing that already started very early on.
I can't get past the first episode. Does it get any better and I should try yet again?
This show is crazy, if you cannot tolerate the craziness then drop it. With that said, while it does not get any less crazy, but it gets better, more fun.

(I often look for & fail to find spoilers like the one below)
I certainly have no problem with him.
However considering how much is going on & how many semi-main leads there are, I think a big triangle is not very likely.
