having not finished the series yet since my country's Netflix is behind with the episodes, this announcement makes me scared they're gonna end it at some horrible cliffhanger with everything unresolved like so many other Netflix shows. God pls stick the landing with the ending at least 🙏
But as for s2, sure the episodic format makes it possible but I'm not sure it really needs a second season? It's clear they're trying to milk the unexpected success this drama has but it's impactful and special enough and would be even more so when it's left alone with just one nicely concluded season instead of possibly fumbling the bag with a second one.
I love the way he does this jittery, lost look every time he has a complex emotion, like he has no idea how to…
yesss absolutely, and the way he brushes through his hair when he's like that too, even when it's so short. I have a headcanon it's because it's a habit he started as a kid when his hair was much longer and he just never outgrew it. He's definitely still a kid on the inside 😭
I hope I am wrong about this but kind of think that yoon kyeo re has terminal illness and that's what they are…
very much hoping your theory is wrong because that would fucking break me. imagine him coming to terms with his trauma, warming up to people and being happy in life for once and then he finds out he's terminally ill? after trying to take his life so many times and only then when he's finally living it's supposed to end??? BRO NAH
UGH this drama is so good I'm just bawling every episode but I wouldn't have it any other way.
About Yoon Gyeo Re – The way he can't even sit and eat with other people not because he doesn't want to, you can tell from his eyes how much he wants to, (give Ji Chang Wook an Oscar PLS) but because it makes him uncomfortable. Seeing everyone eat and laugh together makes him uncomfortable because it's unfamiliar to him. He's bitter and uncomfortable because he's never had the luxury to enjoy something this simple so he's told himself it's nothing special and why do these people - why does everyone fret so much over this simple thing? It's nothing much, it's just food. What's so special about it? You can see just from that alone how goddamn broken this man is. He's always talking over his own feelings and belittling them, telling himself whatever, who cares, it's not a big deal, I don't need this, this is nonsense, and then his expression and mannerisms (and even actions) say the complete opposite. He does care and his rough demeanour is more a wall he uses to guard himself, and it's being broken down little by little by the people at the hospice. God I'm such a sucker for these types of characters so I for one can't wait to see him progress over the course of the story.
Absolutely failing to see the reasoning behind the low rating; if it's not the haters which I doubt anyways, but people are possibly coming into this drama with the wrong expectations but what's new here on MDL, where everyone just loves to ignore the genre tags. Because this isn't the kind of drama with "fast-paced" plot or romance (was never one of the main genre anyways & will be a nice side development but a slow-burn if anything, which is a win imho), it's a healing drama with more importance on the emotional moments and the message it wants to deliver. If you're not in for that, then just go watch something else and don't rate it lowly because so far, this drama has been delivering on all accounts when it comes to the aforementioned aspects.
in all honesty i dropped s1 towards ep 6 or so because it just didn't grab me and i'm not exactly a fan of this getting 2 more seasons but ooooooh lee dong wook in a period drama....... i am still not over grim reaper IMAGINE THE COSTUME DESIGN
wow, I read that webtoon a looong time ago when it was first available in english, interested to see how they'll execute it and who the FL will be. Cha Eun Woo won't ever escape the webtoon roles will he lmao
Soooo excited for this!! I was obsessed with Jung Il Woo during Cinderella and the Four Knights lmao but sadly his subsequent projects didnt do it for me since I'm not really into sageuks. This has the exact genre mix and vibe that I love I NEED this to be good!! pls dont disappoint me
I'm not surprised. Actor's charisma does make a whole lot of difference. Sometimes a story is bland but because…
I've only seen JCW in Healer and The Sound of Magic so far but each time I was extremely invested in his characters and this time it's no different, I guess he's just really good and making you care about his story! To me the fact that it's predictable isn't really a downside. The storyline where a broken character finds healing through found family has been done countless times (kdrama or not), so we obviously kind of know how it will end. But at the end of the day we watch those kind of shows more for the journey than anything. At least I do ^^
Haven't seen LSG in a romcom yet and this looks super cute from the teasers! Hope it'll be a nice and easy watch (even with the law angle), maybe something like Touch Your Heart. pls be on viki pls be on viki
I will say, this is definitely the drama that got me emotionally invested & eager for the next episode the fastest out of any of this year's shows that I watched. Not even EAW had me this invested by the first two episodes and I guess that says something.. Is it the JCW magic at work? Who knows but the hold this drama has an one me already is insane 😭
NGL if I was Yoon Kyeo Re and it turned out that Kang Tae Shik was my father (as implied in ep. 1), that would…
Tbh it's unlikely KTS is his father. YGR was abused as a kid so it's more likely that the guy who was aussaulting KTS in the flashback is the father and KTS was an acquaintance or somehow connected to their family. It wouldn't make sense if KTS was actually the father, like wouldn't he have reacted wayyy stronger if he actually recognized his own son at the police station?
