I would agree. I rated about a star higher, but almost rated lower than you. The story was rather boring halfway through imo then as it started to get better, a useless plot point to extend show 10 mins then abruptly end. This comment is full of grammar mistakes, but I don't care, kinda like I feel the writers didn't care much at the end.

If you are tired dainty women playing parts where IRL there is 0% chance of passing as a man, don't start it. I am only watching it because the ML is a damn good actor. The FL has been great in a few roles, but has not impressed in last few I have seen her in. I started this thinking it would be a great period piece, but has been pretty nonsensical for the most part.

As am I. I honestly don't remember the show much after 9 months, I may want to raise my 3.5 rating of this by a star for rewatchabilty

Food for thought. It would have been epic if at some point there was a line, "The peddlers became meddlers"

I watched the first one because this one had an actress I liked. Only to realize they were filled with actors and actresses I knew and liked. The first one was a solid 8 or higher. This one was about a 7 or so till the ending. Reluctantly wathing 3rd one. hoping the higher rating will leave me happier., but it is dragging longer then the second one at getting me hooked. Even thought High Kick 1 was so much longer, I would still highly recommend it. Especially if you like Secretary Kim or Boys over flowers.

The ending imo ruined the show. It was bad enough to make me want the 63 hours back.

19 Episodes in and maybe its a cultural difference but I can't stand the spoiled brat, but really can't stand the inconsistent adults. I see the dad spoils her badly. But everyone else will scold her in one scene then spend the next 10 scenes oblivious to her actions. Occasionally a different adult will come in the room and scold her. Overall its just not funny at the slightest how horrible she is to the other kid. Personally, if my kid was that bad, delete character and start again. Prison time would be worth it just to apologize to the rest of the planet.

The question that makes this a case of lazy writing is ... why didn't he turn back time and save his love if he had that power? .... This was a 10 until episode 9 imo. But last couple episodes have been falling off

From his own words earlier in the show; The moment she starts acting wishywashy and she already crossed the line with Eun-U asking if he wanted her to be his mom. Ji-Ho should have bounced. Don't mess with my kid.

For a melodrama I would say a 7.5 so far at episode 10. The music use is a big detractor for me so far.

From the trailer it looked like a rom-com. Almost on episode 11, its not bad melodrama so far, minus the way they use the music.

yes, I don't think she is bad at acting, just think the parts arent well written, and stories are lacking. I did like her character better in Bargain.

ok not even a full 4 episodes in, and on the verge of dropping, its slow, and kinda of boring imo. But what has me about to drop it is the constant playing of the "No Direction" song. Even if I personally didn't think the song was hot garbage, the show is basically that song on repeat with some soft spoken acting in the background. Anyone else feel similar? ok venting successful, back to the show.

I see your point Just watched Bargain with same actress. Maybe I should just avoid shows the actress chooses.

dont bother imo. wasted over 3 hours

The forced drama to extend run time was poorly written, boring, and draggy. took a week to sit down and watch last 3 episodes, instead of three hours.

At halfway through episode 16 it has been long apparent why this show has some terrible ratings mixed in. It is obvious that the show was extended with unnecessary drama to secure X amount of advertising revenue from episode 14 on if not earlier. Sad to see another good drama ruined at the end.

From what I reading, Duty after School sounds like th storng series and uncanny series. good first parts, trash second part

Not many Korean dramas can be worse than this
