I would like to take this opportunity to personally inform you that I have decided to retire from the entertainment industry. After much reflection, I believe this is the right time for me to take a new step in my life and explore different paths beyond my career in entertainment.
I am deeply grateful for the unwavering support, collaboration, and kindness I have received from all of you throughout my journey.
Working with such talented and dedicated individuals has been an incredible honor, and I will cherish the memories and experiences we've shared.
Although I am stepping away from the spotlight, I look forward to staying in touch and hope our paths may cross again in the future in new and meaningful ways.
I tend to agree with you. If this drama was supposed to be a one-man show for the Namkoong Min as the ML, then…
I mean if you don't like her acting, that's fine. I'm the kind of person that likes most actors/actresses in dramas that I watch, but I know not everyone's like that. Namkoong Min is the one that insisted that Kim Ji Eun be casted, so blame him if you want to lol.

In a recent interview, the PD said that Namkoong Min is the one that highly recommended Kim Ji Eun to be the FL in this drama. The PD said he didn't know a lot about Kim Ji Eun, but he casted her right away just based on Namkoong Min's recommendation. I think it's worked out well.
This isn't Wavve's first original drama. In the past, they've had 'SF8', 'Love Scene Number' and 'You Raise Me Up'. All those dramas were either picked up by Kocowa, VIU or Viki. So hopefully Tracer can be picked up eventually? I know last year, for Wavve's recent drama 'You Raise Me Up' was picked up by Viki after a few weeks.
Do you know if you can watch iQiyi in the US? Every time I clicked into iQiyi’s website there’s only Chinese…
Starting with this year, iQiyi has had a number of Korean shows including: Eccentric! Chef Moon, Kingmaker: The Change of Destiny, Dinner Mate, Backstreet Rookie, Graceful Friends, Lonely Enough to Love, 18 Again, More Than Friends. I guess the thing is not all shows are available everywhere, so because I'm in the US, some of them were available in my region, some were not. Hopefully Search will be available for you. :)
Does anyone know how many episodes are shown per week? It seems like it took a long time after episode 16 aired…
There's one episode per week. It airs every Sunday at 10pm in Taiwan. Viki usually uploads it a few days later on Wednesdays. It didn't take any longer than usual for Episode 17 though. It's been one episode a week ever since the beginning. Episode 18 aired two days ago, so Viki will be uploading it tomorrow.
