I think most of what you are describing is not on the director but the writer(s).

That's not the point. I just don't see how with censorship, or if you want to call it "acceptable social norms" they can put anything enjoyable on our screens with that premise.

For example it's all but guaranteed that Kang Eun Su will end up either in prison or dead by the end of this. The absolute best possible happy ending is the husband surviving & then living alone.

is this a typical high school show, where they are still "friends"?

It's a minor gripe & probably nitpicky, but to me it feels like in the original they at least made a minor effort to make PMY look "average" for a while. Here the FL is just so radiant, how am I supposed to believe that anyone would pick her because she is boring wife material xD

Is there proper romance, or is it the typical neutered high school stuff where they barely start dating in the final episode?

I don't see how a plot synopsis like this could work from South Korea, no way..

I really liked Glitch. (though I understand why it's not rated too high on MDL)

I find it a bit strange after reading your review that the final score is 8.

Korean viewers have a very limited view on what is acceptable and not in a Jaesuk. Big part of the reason why I don't watch them unless really cannot find anything else.

Can someone please spoil at which episode do they graduate from high school?

I'm starting this today, let's hope it's good ^

edit: nope

Do you guys think it's possible she is closely blood related to veteran actress Kim Mi Kyung?

I watched epi1 & I'm not that impressed. I have stopped consuming anime/manga over 10 years ago due to fatigue & watching this now it feels similar to a typical anime of this type, and kind of boring too, not very funny. I just don't feel that cdrama touch at all.

Does it get better/funnier or it just continues with the typical anime tropes?

Is there successful romance in this, or it's like in most manga where they at most confess -successfully- in the last episode's last scene? (asking for manga spoilers as well I suppose)

Omg, to think this is finally here.

Does it measure up to the hype? :D

Love triangles so far?

I'm on ep2, but I'm already regretting. Blackmailer guy complains about stuff and the whole savior thing is just too much.

Thank you for the answer, so it's like an anthology/omnibus.

I'm watching e2 right now & seems like Mai You Ge is the FL, I'm confused.

It's not easy to unpack the workspace thing. Maybe they wanted to show off how the elites of the working class live, but going up against authority can be a problem due to censorship, so they tried to wrap up Wang's story with a quick redemption ark about dreams and illness. I do agree that it's not great, but at the same time white collar worklife cdramas on average tend to be far worse than this. Well at least up to epi8, where I'm currently at.

Hospital Playlist is probably better this is ever going to be, so there is no reason not to watch it really.
