Yup. Why should the viewers remember this drama as a warm and happy one overall when they can just remember how…
It really is all angst-town and such a shift in tone. Sure it cannot be sunshine and roses all the time, but they really hone in on the misery in the last past episodes and it feels inorganic/inauthentic, aka LOOK AT THE SAD SCENES, ARE YOU SAD NOW? YOU SHOULD BE. And i am just here sighing in exasperation tbh.
How so? Episode 16's airing tomorrow. Somebody already knows how it will end?
Riiiiight? I haaaaaaate things like that, like ain't nobody got time, lmao.
No but seriously if this happens and it seems likely imo, I want to smack the screenwriter with a rolled up paper while repeating the mantra: You can leave room for more story, while ALSO making it an satisfying experience for the viewers. Both is possible at the same time!

Yeeeeah, guess they (YW and him) will meet tomorrow, according to preview? The bs with Junho and this is one of the reasons why i think more and more that we get an open ending where nothing is resolved. Aka:

I meant there is no resolution regarding it in episode 15, instead more saaaaad scenes with lingering looks kdrama style. Even going as far to mirror their happy scenes with now saaaaaad ones. Cinematography-wise this is nice, but narrative-wise? Naaaaah, not here for this. Hence why i expect either an open ending or the typical drag out the saaaaadneeeeess till the last ten minutes of episode 16 now, since we are driving this cliche train to town in full speed 😒😒😒
It’s not Netflix. It’s the show writer & ENA. Most likely the show got renewed & the original cast (might)…
idk, i just saw that and was like "sound legit" lmao, especially with how the story is written imo. But is pretty much rumor mill, so take it with the grain of salt, lol.
Apparently several seasons had been planned from the start not because of the success of it, but in general? Hmm on the one hand this screams unsatisfying open ending for now, but on the other side several seasons or a season two more like gives the drama its chance to correct its flaws which is two-dimensional main/side characters first and foremost. Really hope we will get more character depth to Junho, YS, Geurami, Min Woo (a real redemption arc not whatever tf this is) and see more of JunWoo's relationship development then. Hope they wrap it up nicely still today but at least they don't have to cram everything into two episodes anymore?
Hmm, i picked it back up now after putting it on hold for weeks. And while i am not far in yet (eps 5) i don't see the big deal everyone seems to have with FL. Sure her skulking around ML is quite questionable, but she does it not more than a typical SML does around a FL lol. And she does it not for romantic reasons but to find the truth about the murder. I mean ML got arrested for it, even if falsely accused, which she does not know, she has a point to distrust him and everything he does. I think he is also a bit of her blind spot, so no matter what he does she always assumes the worst. But that is what character development is for?
I know what the writer was going for here with FL, but i also think it was rather a miss than a hit regarding her supposed badassness with her ott fighting scenes and all and punch first ask later approach. Because strength comes in more forms for a character than physical. But i had expected to be way more annoyed with her than i actually am, given the viewer's reactions. SIG is excellent but my fave is Soo Cheol, who reminds me a bit of a puppy in a too large, buff body haha. He is adorable as heck. The team's dynamic and their elaborate plans are generally the best thing of the show right now. Humor is more miss than hit as well atm and too cringy at times, definitely not on FNOS' level. But overall i enjoy watching it more than i would have thought/initially did. Maybe that is due to being over my FNOS hangover at last haha. Glad I am (slowly) revisiting it for another go after the first failed attempt. We will see how it goes later on tho, since i think 18 eps are a bit too much for this kind of plot and i expect dragginess/lots of filler to happen, sigh.
there is something on the site :kdramastars.com and some on Wikipedia. but he was suppose to be leaving to serve…
I think they confused the character with the actor playing him, maybe? But yeah KTO the actor leaves for military service very soon, not the character in the drama ;)
Are you guys watching ep 15 tomorrow or waiting and watching 15 & 16 back to back?
I will wait to watch them all at once so i can skip things if needed, but also camp in the spoiler fields like a dragon on a pule of gold, lol. I wanna know first how it ends to determine if it is worth putting another three hours into watching eps 14-16, tbh.
It is not that bad, he will most likely survive, he has stomach cancer. Please add a spoiler tag too.
haha, yeah it was a bit oddly worded, but tis fine. And yeah he has the main character buff and plot armor, so this whole shtick is used to force him to step back a bit and rethink his stance on work more than anything else. Dunno why they needed to bring cancer in for this, but oh well that is kdrama for you i guess.
I read on Twitter that he wasnt in the original novel. I suppose they added him to the cast to make the story…
He gives me strong Mr. Queen's Na In Woo SML vibes with how he is always creeping around in the background while the main couple lives their best life.😬
In Kdrama, when ML makes mistakes, no one complains, but when FL does, everyone starts to curse. Why does it happen…
It is the double standard of hell where female characters get cursed out and crucified by hypocritical clowns for the smallest mistake and having the audacity to not being perfect little angel in every single way, but flawed characters/individuals. And that while they are kissing the ground ML walks on, no matter how shitty he behaves or how rotten his personality is. As long he is "hot", he can do whatever he wants and is loved for it.
Unfortunately this is a pattern i see repeating with every single kdrama, since i started watching them more than half a year ago.
