You know, it's more about the marketing really now that I think about it. Cause for soo many episodes the mystery was that the ML did something unthinkable. And later on, we learn that he's a murderer. Let's say, somebody who actually did a huge mistake watched this drama and thought - damn, the ML is going through the same shit I was. Wonder how he'll get through it. And then it turns out that no, the ML objectively didn't do anything wrong... and the person feels yet again that the marketing was so misleading... kinda like queerbating tbh, same mechanism of anticipation and disappointment imo. And why can't we get it? Cause the leads in dramas have to be crystal clear.

If ML actually hit somebody with his car, I'd get behind it (his feeling guilty). But:
1. Regarding the old man - he clearly said to him not to invest in certain stocks, and not to over-invest. And then to wait, as he's working on the situation.
2. Regarding his hyung - ML didn't even ask his hyung to drive. The guy insisted himself.

I get that he was feeling guilty, don't get me wrong, but for all those people to blame him and make his state even worse - to the point that he's calling himself worthless and a murderer?

My point is that I'd like to see dramas with main leads that are healing after an actual big mistake. Cause here the MLs journey should actually be to learn not to blame himself. And I want to see journeys of people who are to be blamed, but somehow still learn to live on. Dunno if I managed to articulate my thoughts properly...

The business part wasn't explained the best, even though I work a corporate job myself, in the first episodes everything was happening so fast that I was not sure what was going on, who is who and what is actual job of the leads. I also found it really weird how many times the main leads had the conclusion that health/personal life is more important than work, but they still had a shitty work-life balance even after that...

But the 1st couple was fire, the relationship was very well portrayed. I could feel that they were truly close and dear to each other. The best part of the drama by far. Though before they got together I sometimes wasn't sure what the hell are they talking about, they tried to be so misterious...

Main leads are confirmed! It will be aired in 2024, so probably Q4

Same... Even if it was available on Disney, I'd have already watched it, but it's not (in the EU at least)...

Oh, this is such a great idea...

Ffs... are you proud about making yourself look dumb? Can't you really differentiate between idol's/actor's personal and work life? Smh...

You might be right, I saw her rise to popularity after Mr Queen, but it might have happened sooner 😅 admittedly I wasn't active in kdrama world till 2020. And for sure I agree that she might have taken that role cause it was interesting! I think that when actors are popular they can focus on the roles they want, not need to do.

(Yeah I know, they are spammimg left and right instead of checking existing comments / thinking a bit for themselves... it's always been the case, and I ignored it, but rn it was just too stupid for me not to respond. Romance between a peeper and dead girl, smh)

They are pretty much the same genre / overall vibe too imo... with Netflix, there's a wide range of genres - from sci-fi, to romcom, medical dramas, etc. But on Disney+ it's mainly action/thriller, dark vibes overall. They feel very mass-produced to me, I don't feel anything special while watching them, they are too similar to anerican tv shows. The exception was the first eps of Moving...

1. This movie was reportedly shot even before COVID. So it was before SHS's rise to fame through Mr Queen.
2. Besides, this movie will most probably have scenes from before her death, and that will be the majority of her screentime.
3. If you read the description, the ML is a peeper. What do you want, a romance between a peeper and a lying influencer? Smh

Please think a bit on your own before you ask yet another "Romance?" question.

Actually he is a model 😆 but I agree. Besides, his looks are top tier for me.

This was a pretty cute drama. Nice chemistry between the leads. The ML basically carried the whole thing for me. However, the drama is cliched as hell, and doesn't really bring anything new to the table. Not saying that it must, but I'm feeling more and more that kdramas tend to follow the same patterns. At least there wasn't a murderer in the background or something (for more than 2 eps at least).

I am pretty mad with one thing tho - the whole aspect of ML's 'healing' journey. ML tormented by a thing from the past, that he must work through - that's ok with me, I'm all for redemption stories. HOWEVER. In most dramas, the ML is not really responsible for any wrongdoings. So how is it healing when it's not even their fault? People do mistakes, yes, and need some examples in culture to show them that it's possible to live on. But here the ML did NOTHING wrong imo. Maybe it's the difference between Korea's culture and mine. But it's been bugging me lately. Say that I caused a road accident, it was my fault but I didn't wish that to happen. Will I get any comfort from watching kdramas? No, cause it always turns out that the leads take accountability for something that wasn't even their fault. Sigh. Some examples - My Lovely Liar, 30 but 16, just from the top of my head...

Woah, 6 months shooting for 9 episodes? That's a lot. But awesome to know that Seo Ham's confirmed! Been looking exactly for that, ty!

I have no strength in me to watch the final 2 episodes...

True...

One thing - the 2nd couple didn't do it for me. I guess I'm not a huge fan of Yu Rim's character (and acting), and Ji Woong had way better chemistry with Seung Wan. The relationship was also way too idealised compared to first couple. It was cute, but not much more. Was rooting for JW x SW till the very end. But YJ's brother also grew up fine so I guess thats ok hahahah

I read the comments on the ending when 2521 was airing. It was a huge storm - from which I thought that it's at least an disaster of Mr Queen or AJTL's caliber - characters acting weirdly, episodes unnecassarily sped up. But it really does make sense here. It's not out of place. However, it does hurt. I was scared of this drama for a long time, but I'm glad I watched it, it was beautiful.

Sure, I love my HE, but tbh in these kinds of youth dramas... No matter the ending, I end up tearing up anyways. The same with Reply 1988. Growing up and growing apart is just so sad to me. The fact that we can never go back is just scary. And on screen it's even sadder than irl to me, cause I've never had such beautiful memories from my youth. But this show makes me realise that even when the relationship ended, it was still so precious.

I actually never finished this one, cause it was too good and I didn't want to be left with no episodes to watch. So really waiting for S2 to finally watch this xD

I was thinking the same thing! In Kinght Flower he had a few moments when he looked like her too! We're insane together ><

I want everything with LJW. I'm a HUGE fan after Knight Flower. So excited! Hoping for a good story. The title is kinda weird tbh, I think they will change it.
Also, I've been seeing a lot of alcohol photos on his Instagram stories recently, wondering if that's related ><
