I avoid Hwang Jung Eum as much as I can. She is the definition of annoying, she is always crying, screaming and making weird facial expressions, it annoys the hell out of me. I don't mind Jihyo on Running Man, but I find her annoying as an actress, and for a weird reason ( I think her pronunciation of the letter ㄱ (k) and ㄲ (kk) annoying). Gu Hye Seon just can't act, and I don't watch Suzy and IU's dramas unless I really like the plot, so I can ignore my very negative view on their acting skills for the sake of watching a good drama.

Here is the Korean Wiki page of the incident.

This is true except for the fact that Strangers from Hell isn't produced by Netflix. It's produced by a Naver subsidiary and was first broadcasted on OCN. Netflix just like to mark every show they buy as a Netflix original for some reason. In addition to your reasoning, I think they are mostly being "careful" with their production costs, so instead of paying for 16 episodes while not sure about the number of viewers who would be interested, they divide shows into seasons with less episodes, all with a conclusion but with the possibility of a sequel or a prequel, and they would only green-light the production of the next season if the previous one was successful.

I thought Somin was more obvious with her actions. Haha's facial expressions gave him away, but Somin was almost confessing she was the thief. When they first accused her, she kept making excuses without needing to, which practically gave her identity away, but she could've tried to stay low so they can forget about her, instead she gave up on the game and expressed to everyone when they were talking about how criminals are safe when they are next to Jong Kook that she wanted to go sit next to him for protection which is something only a criminal would need, then she cursed loudly expressing anger when he refused, then she actually said "I'm the thief, put me on the stage".

I'm not an expert on dancing and I'm not really into it, but as a viewer with zero knowledge about it, I just assumed they were trying to simplify dances for the members since they only had one hour and they were all beginners.

It was in self-defense though. If they were going to prosecute her fairly, she would've walked away unpunished anyway. Those who are close to her know that, but they are trying to protect her since they don't believe in the system, and there's no proof that he attacked her first.

My understanding of a love triangle was that it has two people who are interested in each other and one other person who is interested in one of them, but I just googled the term and you are right, but they usually say that the drama has a love triangle even if the person who is in the relationship isn't interested in the one outside it, which is why I got confused. I just call what you call a love triangle "cheating" or an "affair" :p

It's not? I watched the first 2 episodes and it seemed to me that Joo Ri likes Gang Tae.

I think you're giving people too much credit. As long as it brings money, there would be more people than you think who wouldn't care about its consequences. Internet changes the world and yet most people have access, as long as they have money. As soon as governments invest in "Alice", it will definitely become legal and accessible to time-travel no matter how bad it is. They will keep monitoring them though. That's why "Alice" sends a "guide" with every client, it's not to help them, but to monitor their actions, so that it doesn't affect the existence of Alice and its shareholders.

I read the same "diagnosis" for her character somewhere else, so I just assumed that this is what the writer intended. Sometimes they don't mention it in the drama, but the writer mentions the disorder they researched to base this character on in their interviews, but I'm not sure this is the case here.

I haven't read the synopsis because I rarely do, but about the female lead having an antisocial disorder, I looked at what they wrote about that after reading your comment, and I don't know if it was changed after your comment, but I saw that they wrote that she was "suffering from an antisocial disorder" and didn't mention that she was diagnosed with it, and someone can suffer from a disease or a disorder without being diagnosed. There are plenty of people who got diagnosed with cancer for instance only after they died from it, and there are plenty of people with mental health issues who were never diagnosed, probably more than the ones who did. and that doesn't mean they aren't suffering from it. I only watched the first episode and I'm not a psychiatrist but I guess it isn't normal to try to kill a mentally ill patient who attacked her after he got restrained.

To support Running Man, try watching it on legal streaming sites if you are living in a country where it's available, watch it on Kocowa if you're living in south or north America, or on VIU if you are living in countries where it's available. It's free on both streaming services.

I felt bad after watching the 1st episode, Kim Jong Kook got every answer right without any help but was unlucky to be chosen as a spy. EunBi's comment about how unbelievable it was that he answered every question correctly because he was "too old to know these answers" was so unfair. She knew he only gets the correct answers after receiving the receipts, and he guessed them all correctly before receiving them. Everyone ended up accusing him of being ignorant and only getting the 1st place after getting fed the answers by the production team when he was going to be in 1st place anyway. I'm glad they aired a clip at the end where JongKook explains the situation, I don't know why I feel triggered when people don't acknowledge how smart he is just because he has muscles.

I like Thai movies and lakorns, and Another Miss Oh is one of my favorite Korean dramas, but I hate copy-pasting. I'm in the 1st episode and it kinda feels like a deja vu, especially the first scene. I hope they will try to change scenes more, and only follow the plot.

It's the opposite in the KDrama, you will find yourself rooting for the female lead and feeling indifferent towards the male lead or even disliking him.

The first few episodes were good but I had a hard time finishing the rest. I guess my taste in dramas got more mature. I'm really not as impressed by the cheesy storylines as I used to be. At first I thought they were making fun of cheesy situations and cliches in dramas, but as I was watching I realized they were just reusing them. What they do in the shadows isn't less cheesy than what they do on stage. It's a waste of time. I recommend watching W instead.

I thought Da Eun was the best candidate, she's never had a bad performance, and her semi-final stage was the best, but G-Soul's final stage and only his final stage was better. She chose a song that isn't suitable for her vocals. The other two were not nearly as good, I was surprised and dumbfounded that Dynamic Duo and Sung Si Kyung picked them over the others. Ye Ji and Chang In had better chance at winning. Dynamic Duo's candidate never should've made it this far. She was very lucky the others had some mishaps, I thought Kim Na Rae was so much better, but when they did a "sample" to pick the semi-final candidate she wasn't as good as she was in the previous rounds.

Yes, you have to watch the first season before. Not because you wouldn't understand what's going on but because I personally think the second season would be lame without the first one, especially since most of its story is about them looking back at their relationships that started and/or ended in the first season.

In terms of story, I prefer this season over the first one. If it weren't for the very open ending and the replacement of the actress who plays EunJae and the sudden change of her character, this would've been a masterpiece. I also missed Hwayoung and the sunbae/EunJae cute interactions. I hope there would be a third season that focuses more on the relationship between Sung Min and Jiwon.

He is the main PD since the 494th episode.
