I agree 100%. I prefer the kdrama for the same reasons.
The only thing I didn't like in the kversion was the pacing at the end. The redemption arc could have been longer while the story with SML could have been shorter. I would have liked a bit more backstory for the ML too but I think it was part of the charme of the story that you had to fill in some gaps for yourself. Ironically that's what the watcher has to do for much more parts of the Jversion while the backstory is much clearer this time around.

I really liked S2. Great acting and an interesting plot. It's less focused on the games and more on psychology. It's good that they didn't use the same formula like in S1.

I thought that too. And he's so clever the whole time. This doesn't fit his character.

I liked the story and the acting. But the finale had too much violence. I normally don´t like it if the actors are showered in blood. But that´s just my preference.

I am eagerly awaiting the last two episodes. I hope the ML rescues his daughter. It's a really intense show. But somehow I miss the spoiled antagonist of the first half. He was quite creepy.

I really liked the article. And @Xiao Zi: You basically listed all ny fave dramas. So I loved your picks.

I like her a lot. She was great in her last two dramas.

The story is good too. It's not as nerve wracking for me as The worst of evil which was fantastic. Let's see what the second act brings.

Jung Ga Ram really impressed me playing such a bad character.
Wookie is great as always. Grey charcters suit him.

I know. I'm cool. Just sayin'

Oh thanks. Haven't watched that yet.

Did he ever get the girl before in his other kdramas?

I think they show it at the beginning of episode 10.

I agree with you. This bothered me too.
But the mother in the car with the little girl was his fathers second wife. Not his birthmom.

I liked the acting.

What is it with all the kidnapping in this drama! First he kidnapps her from her wedding without he consent and does lits of other things without her consent. Later she kidnapps an almost dead man from a hospital. I liked the show but the behaviour was highly problematic. Especially for 2024.

I agree. I think it's well written and I also love the acting of all of them.

Oh thanks. I didn´t read properly. Interesting title.

Oh thank you. I read that too but couldn't remember. You mean "The wonderfools".

I am not a "cult" follower too. I just love his work.
I wasn't aware that he was cast in so many romcoms. "Suspicious partner" was just half romcom. And "Backstreet rookie" was more comedy. "Welcome to Samdalri" was a mixture of so many genres with such a big cast. I think he did as much action work as he did the other genres.
By beeing typecasted I think it's more interesting that he mostly was cast a the "hero" or "friendly boy next door" with a few exceptions in the last couple of years. I am very curious if we can see a darker character in Gangnam Bside. But to be honest, no matter the character - he always nailed it.
