Regarding MDL cast list: I'm not sure how official it is, but I always thought it followed the official production…
I think after the show finishes airing the MDL cast list will be amended as well - listing the teenagers just after the 3 main adult actors, like on Disney+ page, as you said. I think it was prepared a long time ago, with no way of knowing for 100% who will have the most screentime. That information is available only to the show makers...
It was a similar situation with Extraordinary Attorney Woo - it was not advertised as a romance at first, but while it aired it became apparent that it is indeed a rom-com in a way. So the slight romance tag was added. Because MDL contributors had no way of knowing that beforehand.
I loved episodes 1-7 but eps 8 & 9 left me cold and it's not because I don't appreciate mature romance (I'm 57…
Yeah, I guess that one of things that people find hard to believe is that even us adults can enjoy the teenagers' storyline more. It's just given more time, feels more organic and while I don't go out of my way to watch teenage dramas, it is still the part of Moving I appreciate the most. The adults' romance did get a good amount of time as well, but it felt like it doesn't stand on its own legs as of now. The reasoning for their feelings, other than the both of them being attractive, is not there yet.
I have a strong feeling that those 20 eps will not be enough to give us all the answers and character development we want... there are just a bit too many characters and storylines. The agency, the US with Frank, North Korea, we still know very little of them...
i scrolled down and there were 2-3 commenters complaining about the "adult romance" and 10+ more complaining about…
They behave like some fighters for justice when no one is really even hating on the show. But these days, saying that you would prefer the story to go in a slightly different direction is enough to be the villain in the comment section I guess.
Wow, if you have no counterarguments than don't say anything, why take pride in reading only short comments? I will never understand it. Yes I made a long comment, sorry, for your sake I will try to divide them from now on XD
Complain all you want about the adult story lol for someone who hasn't read the webtoon obviously they will say…
Ehhh... where did I say I can't handle adult storyline... I just expressed a wish that it could have been presented morr organically and not stop the present sroryline altogether.
Lol, based on the 9eps aired, the teenagers are the main leads, getting most of the screenime. They are described…
I urge you to read again and see where I called the list a lie. Because I didn't. I just wrote that it's based on popularity. And that's a fact - there is no way that the bus driver is more important character than the couple of teenagers, yet he is higher on the list.
Lol, based on the 9eps aired, the teenagers are the main leads, getting most of the screenime. They are described…
Are you new on mdl? I am not. The list is made before the show airs. How could the contributors now of exact screentime of every actor before the show airs? The list can be misleading, especially in case of ensemble cast. Like there is no way that the bus driver is more of a main lead than the couple of teenagers, yet he is higher on the list. Cause he is played by an actor who is more popular.
Yet again, people are just looking for a fight in MDL comment section. It's been too quiet here.
Let's attack or post some passive aggresive comments towards the people who liked the teenagers stories! Cause you know, they watch tiktoks so they aren't true kdrama watchers as we are! Cause they for sure are teenagers and aren't mature enough to enjoy this show.
Let's just ignore the fact that for 7 eps straight the drama with incredible humor, wittiness and delicacy handled the teenager's plot, making them the unexpected stars of the show. Like no other teenage drama in recent years. Those characters already had some awesome character development, have very solid storylines. Oh, those stupid people from youtube really thought that this is story about them and expect more? Shame on you, you're a true fan only if you came here for Zo In Sung!
And let's ignore any flaws with eps 8-9. The fact that it forgets about the storyline of PRESENT days. That it brings imbalance to this so far very well developed drama. That the romance is way more rushed and underdeveloped than the teenage romance...
These episodes aren't bad by any means. They are pretty solid. But it is true that they should have been more incorporated into the story. If the story changes leads halfway its airtime, it will get messy.
This is not a fight of teenagers vs agults, for God's sake. This is an ensamble cast. Remember the Incredibles? Both the kids and the adults had a decent amount of screentime, pretty much the same. Why the need to fight? To belittle anyone who thinks different than you? To tell everyone "to look at the cast list on MDL, the adults are at the top!" YES they are on top cause they are the popular ones. You can't expect me to believe that the bus driver is more important to the story than the teenage cast. Yet the actor IS HIGHER ON THE CAST LIST than them. Gosh... MDL cast list is not all knowing people...
And other silly comment - HHJ and ZIS would not take roles which don't have the most amount of screentime? What a whole load of bullshit. Haven't you seen any cameos of big stars? Why do you think they are called cameos? Didn't you see Leonardo di Caprio in smaller roles in Tarantino movies? How could he get so low? Ehh... believe me that not every actor values their screentime over every other thing while considering a project...
Lol, based on the 9eps aired, the teenagers are the main leads, getting most of the screenime. They are described…
Lol, who's the toxic one xD once again, criticism and discussion is dead on MDL. So what that the cast is listed that way in credits. A lot of times the first ones in the credits are the most popular actors. Especially in SK, where seniority is key. Sometimes cast is sorted by the order they appear on screen. No correlation to the screen time once again.
Not a fan of the pacing of episodes 8&9. I appreciate the back story but 2 episodes of back story about a couple…
You are basically telling what you feel, with no hate or insults, and you bring up very valid points, yet people are not letting anyone bring out any criticism towards the adult plotline. This forum turned into a mess overnight, eh... i agree that these two episodes were nice, but considering the rest of the show, they were not really balanced.
Imagine watching this drama for some teenage giddy romance and getting disappointed when they got delivered with…
You do realize that the main cast list is prepared before the show even starts and the people who prepare it have ZERO idea who will in fact have the most screentime, other than limited info from the makers of the drama? Like, it would mean that the bus driver is more importand than the teenage main leads. I highly doubt that.
I don't understand some people here. They want to see a adult love story, and the promotional pictures for the…
Like can't we just enjoy what we get provided that it's good? The teenage drama has been lit so far, and I sure want more of it, the adults just aren't so developed as of now. Just because on the poster there are 3 MOST POPULAR actors from the cast, does it have to correlate 1-1 with their screentime? I just don't get when there come people who say THE ACTOR IS THE TOP MAIN LEAD ON MDL SO HE HAS TO BE IN THE SHOW FOR THE LONGEST TIME. You do realise that posters are made for marketing purposes and MDL's page are made by people who do not have some insight to classified information about the plot?
I don't understand some people here. They want to see a teenage love story, and the poster for the series definitely…
I don't understand some people here. They want to see a adult love story, and the promotional pictures for the series definitely shows who the main actors are. If you want some adult drama, there are tons of series to choose from. For me personally, this drama is great and I really enjoyed these seven episodes.
Did the chief ordered Doo Shik to assassinate that North Korean leader? It was mentioned in the newspaper that…
I think he was supposed to assasinate him without any doubt that it was South Korea's command, so that there is a big conflict between Koreas and there is no more talk about reuniting (cause the agency chief thought it was bullshit)
Tiktok and Youtube shorts manipulates most of the kdrama fans lol, the way they make edits some people thinks…
Lol, based on the 9eps aired, the teenagers are the main leads, getting most of the screenime. They are described as main cast as well, it's just that MDL chose to put the more popular actors at the front of the list. Why would it be bad to demand more of the teenagers? So far I think they are the best part of the show. Unless you read the manhwa, you don't know who will have the most screentime, and even if you read it, it still could be changed.
It was a similar situation with Extraordinary Attorney Woo - it was not advertised as a romance at first, but while it aired it became apparent that it is indeed a rom-com in a way. So the slight romance tag was added. Because MDL contributors had no way of knowing that beforehand.
