I'm quite surprised by how different my beauty preference is with yours, cuz among your list I only find Suzy, Song Hye Kyo, Han Ye Seul and Kim Ji Won to be attractive. I don't know if it's because I'm Asian, but my preference is more similar to local Koreans:

1. Kim Tae Hee - nation's goddess who ranks no.1 in most surveys
2. Son Ye Jin - during her The Classic and Summer Scent eras
3. Kim Hee Sun - she was gorgeous in Jackie Chan's movie The Myth
4. Song Hye Kyo - natural and timeless, her face never changed
5. Shim Eun Ha - she's not from this generation, but she has been well-known for her beauty
6. Lee Young Ae - the gene jackpot, given her age and how pretty her daughter looks
7. Han Ga In - her cosmetics CF stills are stunning
8. Han Ye Seul - loved her in BOAB
9. Jun Ji Hyun - I don't particularly like her aura but she's definitely the sexy queen
10. Suzy/Oh Yeon Seo/Han Hyo Joo... And many others that I can't think of at the moment

Tbh I was pretty annoyed at what Woojin did in this episode. Regardless of what his justification was, he was immature and impulsive. If I were Seori I'd be angry as well. It should be her decision whether or not she goes along with the director, but he just goes and ruins everything by lashing out at the director. Like, what if she is still willing to perform? What if the director doesn't give them a second chance? If he likes her, he should sit down and try to understand her.

omg did he just confess??? omo

Fushigi Yuugi is definitely the first anime I would recommend if I were to write an anime version of this article. Loved that show back in grade school!

Divergent would definitely do well as a K-Drama! It feels like something OCN would do, since they're really good at making sci-fi series.

I'm really glad you liked the article! It's my first time writing an article on MDL and comments like these really encourage me to write more :D

I'm sure you'll love it! Shiver does give similar vibes to Twilight and one thing I really liked about it was that it alternates between the FL and ML's pov. The temperature indication at the beginning of each chapter also makes the premise more intriguing.

I'm from Hong Kong and men here talk mostly about women's appearance and body. Some worse men even make sexual remarks to their classmates or colleagues behind their backs. I guess sexism really is more serious in some parts of Asia.

I hope something significant happens in the coming week's episodes to make up for the delay. If the plot continues to drag it may get boring.

Kissasian is 30 min per show I think

That's why I'm not sure if this Korean adaptation will folloe the original or not. There are lots of dark and twisted things that happen in the Japanese version that might not be widely accepted by the Korean audience. They might have to tone it down to make it more acceptable.

I don't know if you meant incest is disgusting or I am disgusting for considering it as a taboo. I hold nothing against incest actually, I was referring to how Koreans would react to the subject matter. I don't personally consider sibling incest to be a bad thing, but I'm pretty sure Korean society does because they are very reserved and traditional, more than Japan at least.

Definitely check it out. Imo the story is best served raw and "uncensored" which is what makes the Japanese version stand out. If they ever tone it down in the Korean version it won't live up to the original.

The pace is slow AND it's being delayed. I'm starting to get impatient waiting for the story to progress. Why do sports events keep messing up my favorite shows?

The original J-Drama was so dark, mature and twisted that 90% of the plot won't be widely accepted by Korean public. I'm pretty sure they have to cut out and rewrite a lot of the parts and tone down the whole thing. Otherwise it's gonna be rated 18+ in Korean standards.

Oops... sorry about that. I've seen open articles mentioning about it as a synopsis for the drama so I thought it was something everyone knew about. And the original J-drama on MDL has the tag on it as well.

I'm surprised they chose to adapt a J-Drama that has incest in it. Not that I have a problem with that, but I'm not sure if the Korean public would be able to cope with such a big taboo. And the stills of this drama make it look like some sort of lighthearted romcom when it's clearly some dark shit lol

I died laughing at the heaven part lol

It's a comedy where the leads are connected together by a past tragedy.

Omg Kazuo Ishiguro yes
