I'm not optimistic. There are 3 main actors listed and 2 of them are men.
Also I can already visualize Lee Sang Yi being the puppy dog third wheel. (or worse)

Jeon Soo Min in I married an Anti Fan was pretty unexpected, especially considering that the drama had been filmed ages ago, so she still had short hair.

What if Je Hak's wife is not real. I hope she's real..

I knew in advance to avoid that one!

Lately everything I watched had separation plots.
So I Married an Anti-Fan had 2 different random separations in the last 2 episodes, that's the one I watched last.

Does this drama have a random 2 year separation plot? (If yes, I would just rather postpone watching it for a while then, just to avoid flipping the table)

The drifting kiss in episode 2 is like the stupidest thing I have ever seen ^.

I know the original work. How far did they get with the story in 40 episodes?

Yeah in the second half of season 3. It was just a stupid cliffhanger, probably due to the pressure of the networks.

Husband being gay.

It's a complex issue. Hopefully societal pressure is the only coercion involved.

Korean idol singers are basically professional dancers, being a pretty and skilled dancer is the most important factor. There are exceptions of course, but in a typical idol group of seven it's already miraculous, if 3 of them have singing talent.

I wonder if IU being so dominantly successful would change this over time.. (she is an actual musician and her agency is not restricting her talent)

Not even the writers know, if there is going to be a love triangle or not. It's live filming and live writing, the feedback of the Korean audience will matter. The teasers don't mean anything, teasers often end up non canon .

That did not compute, heh.

Who is Lao Han?

I don't even understand what her scandal is about. She was an obsessive controlling girlfriend? Why exactly is that such a huge deal? Why should we, or the knetz care?
Where is this information even coming from?

Let's cancel the cancel culture..

I think without Goblin, dramas like Hotel Del Luna, Tale of the Nine Tailed, Mystic Popup Bar and Angel's Last Mission would not have been made. Goblin's influence can be felt in more ways than one.

Anyway, it was a great article, despite me disagreeing with your two main points. ( 1, Sisyphus being a good drama 2, It being potentially influential)

Not saying it's not inspired by it, but the composition is completely different & the pink is different too.
It's not like Fight For My Way revolutionized how 4 people sharing a plaid are photographed.

It's not like Netflix is not doing the same with trying to change the kdrama format to have multiple seasons.

On MDL selection bias is a huge thing. Everyone reads reviews and drama summaries and people are unlikely to start/rate something they wouldn't enjoy. (unlike your significant other, or kids dragging you to the cinema, or watching something on TV while being half asleep)

Imdb is no longer what it once was, big AAA productions used to be inflated by fake votes. Now it's even weirder though, the ratings make no sense for some recent (oscar winning) movies.
