IM YourOnlyOne

The way I understood it is the Pyeonghwa Village is “fantasy”, or “wishful thinking” because the current political tension between NoKor and SoKor is very, very, very, sour.

Still, it's something to “fantasized” about and maybe, just maybe, there is still hope for a unified Korea.

I was laughing so hard with that “grandma” litany and holding their hands. I wonder how much the two leads held their laughter. It was a very good delivery. While you're thinking (if you put yourself in the shoes of the leads), “Why are you telling us that?!!” LMAO.

UPDATE: E02 is out.

I already submitted an update to the schedule here on MDL.

* Wednesday and Thursday

You're welcome! ^_^

I actually want to update the date since they only listed TVING. The schedule of the show in TVING is every Thursday.

The every Wednesday schedule is for Lifetime. Lifetime is the “Original Network”, TVING is only the web streaming “Partner”.

But no one cares about Lifetime Korea; only TVING. Hahaha.


UPDATE: It's a 2-episode series, Wednesday & Thursday.

This is one of the most confusing series the past few years. LOL.

Yep. I also submitted correction on that. It's all up to the MDL moderators to approve my updates.

Thank you and you're welcome! ^_^

Glad to be of assistance. ^_^

People who are confused about MDL's cast list.

Based on what I've found online, this show was originally planned to premiere in 2023, however, instead of premiering, they announced that all the cast were changed without giving any reason.

My corrections are waiting approval. However, if you are curious, you can check TMDB, which is currently the only English database with an up-to-date information (I'm active in TMDB): https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/215003

I already submitted corrections to the cast list. Based on my search, the initial MDL information came from random sources that did not cite where they got the information.

It is possible there were cast changes, and those sources who did not cite their sources, failed to update their template which ended up here on MDL. Or, maybe MDL is the one with the obsolete information which everyone else copied over and over everywhere.

Anyway, as soon as my submission is approved, you should see the correct cast list, correct Main, and correct Support characters.

If you can't wait, check TMDB, currently the only updated English source (I update it regularly): https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/215003

UPDATE: It appears that in 2023, instead of premiering, they changed the entire cast, hence, the mixed actors in MDL.

Here's what I wrote for TMDB, which will reflect in Trakt.tv within 24 hours (or earlier). I also submitted this here on MDL, waiting moderator approval.

Love Andante unfolds in the tranquil yet tense setting of the Korean DMZ, where two contrasting souls find themselves drawn together. Following the formal end of the Korean War, the two Koreas established the Pyeonghwa Village in Goseong, Gangwon Province. Im Ju-hyeong, a prodigious pianist seeking respite from his demanding career, retreats to this haven. There, he encounters Ha Na-kyeong, the pragmatic daughter of a high-ranking North Korean officer and a doctor of pharmacy. As they navigate their lives in this village founded on hope and peace, their shared experiences and unexpected bond blossom into a poignant love story, bridging the divide between two worlds.

I already submitted an up-to-date cast list.

After searching around, it appears that the information source of the current MDL cast list came from various sources around the Internet without any clear source, thus, MDL ended up with an incorrect information as well. Again, as far as what I've been able to find.

The corrections I submitted just now came from a reliable source, and one used by Koreans a lot.

Unless some MDL moderator decides to decline my submissions citing some reason instead of just fixing it first, and then we can adjust whatever it is they want to additionally fix. (This happens a lot.)

UPDATE: It appears that in 2023, instead of premiering, they changed the entire cast, hence, the mixed actors in MDL.

It's official! Elisia and Gehlee Dangca will appear this weekend, August 10, 11 (S02E27 and E28), as per the official announcement: https://x.com/GMARunningManPH/status/1821064040057078130

Also: https://x.com/gmanetwork/status/1821438412920070464

There are still 4-5 confirmed guests remaining to show.

This week's E25 and E26 will be Nancy of Momoland..

We still have:
1. Sandara Park of 2NE1
2. Elisia of UNIS
3. Gehlee Dangca of UNIS
4. Rochelle Pangilinan
5. And supposedly a special appearance of Ruru Madrid (Running Man S01 regular)

Possible appearances:
* E27: Sandara Park
* E28: Elisia and Gehlee (possibly together with Dara)

Note: see E17 and E18, Bianca Umali was a guest runner in both episodes, but in E18 Haha also showed up as a guest. It's possible they'll repeat it again.

* E29 and E30: Special appearance of Ruru Madrid together with Rochelle Pangilinan
* E31 and E32: Season 02 finale episodes.

Of course, this is under the assumption that Season 02 will also have 32 episodes like Season 01; and assuming there won't be any other surprise guests they did not announce.

Because it's a common trope. ^_~

If you want the part where the titular character is “The Brave”, watch around E61/E71 onwards. You can watch E01 to maybe E10/E20.

But definitely skip E11/21 to E60.

Save yourself from a major deep dive into a bottomless pit of negative emotions, like anger, hatred, bitterness, and more anger, hatred, and bitterness.

We still have no idea if they can actually end this show on a high note. Currently, it looks impossible already… we're in the bottomless pit of everything negative. It's going to take a major turn around, like, ALL the ___evil___ characters going to prison, not die but prison. Beyond that, there's no redemption from the bottomless pit.

Oooh, yes! I forgot that one!

Yep. It seems Korea is starting to give roles to actors where they truly excel instead of letting them take different roles (and sometimes they're bad in it, the whole show is dragged down ^^;; )

But, it is what it is, there are actors with a particular role that fits them, and they should tap that instead of risking a new role.

Hopefully, that surprise is not: Suji's father + Uri's mother.

Maybe they were drunk back in college, so they don't remember each other. They came from a huge uni and well… anything can happen.

LOL.

But seriously, hopefully they don't introduce him, he's no longer vital in the story. A passing mention, maybe, which will irk her husband and shake their family further.

And it will finally unearth why they got married in the first place. I'm suspecting because of the Hospital and the Foundation. It was a business marriage. Hospital is the father's, Foundation the mother's.

But I dunno, there are only few episodes left.

Shows that airs on traditional TV network are strictly based on that network's schedule. OTT (streaming services) are only secondary distribution and cannot release episodes ahead of the TV network. If they do that, they'll be in a serious breach of contract even IF they are a diamond or platinum sponsor/investor of the show.

Thus, consider the schedule of that OTT service “not yet updated”. ^_^

It happened in other OTT services before, and they had to either immediately bring the episode down or apologize through a statement the following day. Even Netflix made such a mistake before, they released an episode 12 hours before the actual premiere of the episode in Korea (this was before they opened an office in Korea and before they started doing their own Netflix-exclusive K-drama).
