I'm on the first episode, and I think it's slower than I expected. Not sure if it will pick up the pace in the next episodes or if I should watch it on 1.5x speed.
They did the same with KS and Sunbin back in the day. It's the way the show is.
They hardly ever mentioned his girlfriend in Running Man. To me, it's about the same level as JongKook/EunHye, and they were both in the same show, so it was understandable at that time, but JongKook hated it after the show has already ended. Their "alleged" relationship was already over when they were still teasing him about it, which was also distasteful. They only stopped when people figured out it was "probably" true. Then there was the distasteful mentioning of Chaeyeon when he announced his marriage to a person they didn't know., which I thought was disrespectful to his fiancé.
Just because it happens often, doesn't mean it's okay. They pull adult people's pants often too.
I was surprised there were polarized reactions to this drama. I thought you would either like it or think it's not bad but not that good. Then I realized that most of the humor is tailored toward millennials+, so it made a lot of sense that many people would hate it or find it boring.
For example, in the 1st episode, the rain scene was funny to me only because it pays homage to the '90s film Nowhere to Hide, where they have a fight in the rain. In the 4th episode, there's a scene where someone crawls to hide from another person, only to be dragged back. Without revealing too much, this scene pays homage to the old style of directing action movies, like A Better Tomorrow and similar films, especially with the accompanying music. It's hilarious to me for that reason.
They do other types of jokes too, but they're all the kind of jokes usually enjoyed by "old fossils" like me. Not to say there aren't old souls who find this hilarious too.
There are lots of goofs that don’t really make sense. It feels like they are forcing cute moments to happen while ignoring logic. It’s still pretty entertaining regardless.
That said, I find myself mainly interested in the relationship between the main couple. The female lead’s solo scenes and the scenes of other characters are kind of boring. The male lead’s solo scenes are usually more interesting, but mostly because he’s thinking about the female lead most of the time so it can be quite cute or funny.
Sometimes Seori’s tone and body language make her seem like a grandma. I know she’s from the past but she…
I don't want to be the one stating the obvious if you already know, but she is talking like a Joseon person of her age and past status, not like a grandma. It's totally different. The weird thing is people not finding her way of speech weird. I don't mean the people who know she is acting in a historical drama like the woman at the reception, because she might've thought it was "method acting", but this is not how a typical modern day person talks, it is how a Joseon woman of her age and past high status would talk mixed with some of the modern "accent", but no one is asking her why she is doing that.
It is bad if you figure out the ending early on. I did, and it was so boring for me afterwards, and I'm talking…
I could say the same about you, but I would rather have a taste that "sucks" in your opinion than have an argument that sucks like yours. I have the privilege of understanding that people with different tastes, that I don't necessarily agree with, exist. It comes with maturity.
There is an older drama with the same name. That might be why they changed it. It would be a bummer if people ignored it thinking it's the same drama. It's a good idea to change it, even though the new title wasn't really a good second choice.
I can tell by the first episode that this is going to be awesome. Totally my style. I love the comedy and the action. It matches my sense of humor perfectly. I was sold on the action from the first action scene, and I was sold on the comedy the moment Oh Jong Se woke up after the hypnosis. Hilarious.
Just now reading a post that name Kim Sol Ma as the new PD starting this upcoming episode. A man PD had been cnosen…
I think Jeon Somin was scheduled to appear as a guest sometime before he joined. The current PD is the one who is responsible for inviting her back as a guest. She is appearing to promote her next project. Not really the PD's idea, more like a PR decision that was done by her project's team.
Possibility for season 4? I'm curious about the pottery case. I also miss Madam Lim, even though she is only the sister. This season's cases weren't as exciting as the previous seasons'. It took me awhile to finish it. I would still welcome a fourth season, especially if Madam Lim would be included.
I really wish they would stop mentioning the boyfriend. It's very distasteful. These episodes will be out and watched even after they breakup. It's not even funny or adding anything to the show. It's just annoying at this point. Find another character. There are plenty of options other than "the one who is looking for a boyfriend", and "the one with the boyfriend".
that's why it's a spectrum. why do you feel the need to bring this counter opinion? Autism just like OCD is on…
I haven't watched the show so I can't really speak confidently about this topic, but I think what the OP is trying to say is that a level 1 autistic woman with very high IQ would most likely resort to masking to the point where she almost blends among the neurotypicals, which is true, and it's the reason why females are rarely diagnosed with autism. It is very uncommon to see level 1 autistic female with high IQ not being able or not resorting to masking. (I haven't seen the show yet so I don't know if she really has no masking skills, but I've seen the trailer and I was kind of put off by the portrayal too, because it was similar to Good Doctor who was barely communicating. Some misinformed writers/directors mash so many autism traits in one person and do not realize that with their high IQ, they realistically would've probably been able to mask them). This is not to say that there aren't autistic people who would behave like this. It's just very uncommon among this specific category of people that the show is trying to portray (female + high IQ + level 1). I'm not sure about the "we are not child-like, innocent, or naive" claim though, maybe she means that "not all of us are" but misspoke, because these are common personality traits, even though it can't be generalized.
At this point, it seems targeted. They couldn't get him with that controversy, now it's this controversy (I know it's different accusers to different type of controversy but I just find the chain of controversies hilarious). I hope he finds a way to get past this. Not a fan, but I kind of feel bad for him.
Jung Sung Il was given the Best New Actor award last year for his domestic and global breakthrough in the film…
I understand that, but they could've labeled it as "Best Breakthrough Actors" or something like that. Something less offensive to the actor who has been acting for 10+ years.
Just because it happens often, doesn't mean it's okay. They pull adult people's pants often too.
For example, in the 1st episode, the rain scene was funny to me only because it pays homage to the '90s film Nowhere to Hide, where they have a fight in the rain.

How is Jung Sung Il a new actor though? He didn't find that insulting?
