I'm really glad that DotS was so successful unlike other pre-produced dramas before it. Hopefully that trend will continue - better working conditions for the actors & staff, which I hope will also mean we can get to see more actors on TV that usually only film movies (like Jeon Do Yeon in The Good Wife for example).

It was first shown as a web drama with 20 eps and recently SBS aired it as a 4 ep drama on TV.

Have you watched this drama? SFD was really popular internationally, but this one hasn't been subbed for very long and doesn't have any (mainstream) popular actors, so of course you wouldn't see anyone talking about it. It was praised a lot in Korea though and won many awards for its high quality.

Thank you so much for sharing!

Great movie ♥

This is such a gem of a drama! I stumbled upon this years ago on viki and I'm so glad I finally decided to watch it. It was so heartwarming to see Jae In and her daughters developing a good relationship with her dad and how they became a family that was always there for each other. Some of the villagers were annoying at the start, but I've come to like them all, so that watching an episode felt like taking a little vacation in Gombaeryung village ♥

Aw you're making me want to rewatch the drama. Great review!

I knew this stalker's guide had to be written by you, once I saw that it's about Yoo Ji Tae ;) Great article, I want to go and watch Midnight FM right now, if only I didn't have to leave for work :P

I've been sucked way too much into Korean cinema, so I haven't seen most of these... Will definitely change that though; thanks for the list^^

I didn't find it scary at all^^ If you're very easily scared there might be one or two scenes you find scary, but imo it's more a mystery than a horror movie.

My all-time favourite is Kinder chocolate ♥

That speech Jin Sang Pil held in front of the assembly in the last ep T_T He's just brilliant, it was so amazing to see how much emotion he poured into that! I'm glad I watched this drama for his acting alone ♥

No, there isn't. It would have felt out of place in this drama imo^^

Yoon Yeo Jeong is amazing ♥ Haven't seen her as much as I should, but the three roles that stand out to me the most are in the movies The Housemaid and The Taste of Money (recommended only for mature people^^), and in the drama Worlds Within. I really hope it won't take too long for her movie with Park Geun Hyung to be subbed!

Thanks to watching 50 eps of Yoo Na's Street, I won't ever overlook Kim Hee Jung. Her character did some annoying things at times, but she still managed to not make me dislike her in the drama^^

I love him in Last!

She's probably only talking about Asian dramas because we're on a site about Asian dramas and she likes watching them. And when you like something, I think it's good to not just accept everything without questioning it, but instead talk about the things you're not comfortable with, which is what she does in this article.

Japan:
Actor: Sakai Masato, Eita, Abe Hiroshi
Actress: Ueno Juri, Shibasaki Kou, Tokiwa Takako

Korea:
Actor: Ha Jung Woo, Ahn Sung Ki, Han Suk Kyu
Actress: Go Hyun Jung, Kim Hee Ae, Jeon Do Yeon

So far they've been pretty low, somewhere in the 5 - 6% range. Yong Pal even managed to top the 20% mark last week, so at least ratings-wise the other two in the same time slot can't compare to that. But well since politics is usually not the topic of the really popular dramas, I hope the Assembly team won't be disheartened by that!

True, it's too bad that not more people are interested in this drama. I just hope the low ratings won't keep Jung Jae Young from doing more dramas, because he's so good in his role ♥
