I usually don't like korean remakes of the cdramas, but I was thinking of how a remake might work with this one.
For the FL I'm thinking:
1) Kim You Jung
She can nail the cheeky but innocent jiang mu before the leap and the mature, elegant post leap jiang mu
2) Go Youn Jung
She's got the skills and the visuals. I think she'd be terrific.
For male lead I'm thinking:
1) cha eun woo
I know I know. Trust me I've steered clear of his dramas but then i saw him Island and Wonderfools and that convinced me that with the right script and directing, he can play the edgy Jin Zhao
2) Lee Jun Young
We know he does intense roles, gray characters and edgy ones really well. I think if he was just a bit younger he would have been number 1.

I had a few more casting choices but they are too old to play the characters

I rewatch this drama every now and then and I'll be honest, i skip most of baek inho's scenes with seol. Just because an actor is good looking does not mean i ship him with the FL. He simply did not have the depth and intensity and development that yoo jung did

We used to have proper dark romance like Secret 2013 and cheese in the trap. But oh well, I'm not saying current kdramas are bad. Just that there used to be more diversity in genres. And the reason why i liked korean dark romance was because i could watch these without the explicit scenes that are common in western media. Who knows, maybe this genre will make a come back

Better days is my rainy day movie. I watch it when i get the blues and need to remind myself that there is always hope, always a light. I will definitely watch this drama now!

Your comment convinced me to watch the drama, I'm a huge fan of the movie Better days

Love love love the show!
The team that gave us the guest has done it again
This show has everything i love
Subtle romance (that is not central)
An otherworld realm
Great actions scenes
Awesome background score
Gripping plot that keeps you guessing
Wonderful acting
This was absolutely worth the wait! 9/10!

Revenant was really good too! But I'd watched the guest before already so revenant in comparison was (in my opinion) just a little short of the same level of awesomeness

Eeeeee i can't wait! I have high hopes from this show because it's from the same team that made The Guest which was just 🤌🏻

I see a lot of people in 2026 asking why kdramas don't do dark romance like cdramas and jdramas do. This drama was literally a dark romance, and people started rooting for the second lead 🤦‍♀️ I still remember watching it back in 2019 and loving Park hae jin's character, yoo jung, only to come online and find that people had liked baek in ho. I mean to each their own i guess but there was no chemistry between in ho and seol. The only reason people liked him was because yoo jung was too dark a character and because park hae jin's screen time was cut in the latter half. No one was rooting for In Ho in the first half from all the comments and discussions i saw online. To this day im salty about that because here we had the perfect darkly intense love story and the makers sabotaged it themselves. And we've never gotten something like it again (nevertheless doesn't count, that drama was just stupid). But cdramas are literally using this as the blueprint and thriving (this is only my opinion ofcourse)

For me its the genre plus the team. Its the same team that gave us the guest which is one of my top horror kdrama

Today is the day! Does anyone know when it's dropping?

Oh i see, that makes sense 👍

I think this is the first Korean movie to be screened in theatres in Pakistan! Loved every minute of it and can i just say, i loved koo kyo hwan in this? What an aura! That walk!
But there's one thing i didn't understand, what did the water sprinklers do to the zombies? How did it hinder them (momentarily) and what did suh mean by saying the water may have stopped them for now but It'll actually help the zombies communicate better when it evaporates?

I disagree, korean netflix content was actually good this year. Examples:
If wishes could kill
Teach you a lesson
Wonderfools

(Yes I'm aware this is just your opinion but I'm just respectfully stating mine)

Also i dont care that it took them 10yrs or 20yrs to meet again. The fact that they found each other, against all odds is enough for me. Because at the end, they did find one another. Nothing could keep them apart. That just fills my heart with an unspeakable emotion. I know its just a drama but even if its make-believe, to think that two people fought this hard to be with one another and won, it left me with a warm feeling.
The ending was perfect for me. I will never understand those viewers that want "tragic endings" to keep things "realistic". You want reality, switch on your tv and watch the news. There's enough tragedy in the real world. Lets not insist on having it in fictional world.

Oh wow... j dont know why i waited so long to watch this drama but im so glad i did. Nam goong min is one of my favourite actors and ahn eun jin was spectacular as well. How does one get over a masterpiece like this?

Gonna leave this comment here:
Please spoil me regarding the ending once the final episode airs so that i can decide whether to watch this or now. If its a tragedy, i wont watch it because my life is sad enough as it is

I remember that scene when she finally deletes the app she uses to listen to him, right before she does she listens to the sound of his footsteps and the his breathing, it was so healing somehow. I dont even know why but it soothes me to this day

His deep voice was so therapeutic.

A warm hug on a cold day is exactly how i would describe it
