The real issue with this drama is the translations, at least in English. I've tested it a few times and if you watch one scene using English dubbing, then rewatch it using English subtitles, then again using English (CC), you will literally see three completely different conversations that can be interpreted in different ways. There is zero consistency. So that's probably why the reviews are all over the place. We are all watching completely different shows. 😂

I'm on episode 5 and while this is not perfect, I'm actually loving that the FL is the one who is head over heels and a complete mess around the ML, I think it's really cute.

I agree. This is supposed to be a comedy but I feel like the editing is a big part of the reason why a lot of the jokes are not landing for me. The timing is always just slightly off. I'm on episode 5 and it's not terrible but it could be so much better

I think people need to realize that writing is hard. Writing amazing scripts back-to-back, year after year, every single time is not only extremely diffcult but highly unlikely. Sometimes they're gonna write bangers and sometimes they're gonna write flops. It is what it is. Better luck next time. What the audience needs to do is stop hyping dramas soley based on the screenwriters and actors before they've even seen one minute of the show.

I agree with you. I've noticed a lot of kdrama writers seem think making the FL act like an asshole is cute, but I can assure you, it's not. The first episode did nothing to endear me to her. I will say she gets better by episode 2 (I am only on episode 3). The ML is also not my favorite for different reasons. It's not a bad show so far but I can already tell these are not characters that I will fall in love with or want to revisit. Their stories and characterizations are not strong enough.

It's a sign of low intelligence imo. People who cannot think for themselves are sad.

Cdrama fans really can’t talk until they fix that horrific dubbing situation. I haven’t been able to finish a single Cdrama because of it and I’m sure a lot of them are good.

I was just coming here to say this because it’s not funny at all. I can’t even tell if they were trying to be funny and failed or if the tag is just wrong but I’m almost done with the first episode and haven’t laughed once.

Agreed. The love story doesn't work because they're trying to sell us the dark life of an idol and a parasocial fan fantasy all at once. The truth is, an idol who has saesangs breaking into his house regularly would never date a woman who has millions of expensive memorbillia with his face on it hidden in her attic, no matter what her reasoning is. So their love story isn't believable. A great friendship/partnership could work though.

Super excited about this one. Huge fan of both of them, I almost always love Park Min Young's choices in roles and I've been waiting forever for Wi Ha Joon to be the lead in a really good romance!

Not only is he handsome, he's above average handsome. I don't know about Korea, but if he was walking down any street in the US, he would stand out easily.

I hate how they're all talking directly to the camera. 😂 Will it be like this for the entire drama? Can I skip it without missing too much?

There was an idol named Kim Sung Jae who made the huge mistake of dating one of his saesangs and she poisoned him. He's DEAD. She got away with it because her family is rich. So yes, it's very realistic.

We won't know the killer until the end. That's the entire plot of the show. The romance is secondary.

He’s a great actor!

I agree. I fear this drama is going to try to be two things at once--a raw look into the dark, lonely world of an idol, and also an unrealistic self-insert fantasy for the obsessed fans who are a big part of the reason why these idol's lives are so dark and lonely in the first place. Like you can't tell both of these stories at the same time, in a romantic way. There's nothing romantic about it, and it's not a facet of this drama that I'm going to enjoy even though it's obviously coming. I'll continue to watch only because I want to know who the killer is.

I hate second chance romance stories so I totally agree.

If you're gonna remake it I don't want any watered down, sanitized bs. Do the original justice or don't do it at all thx.

Idols can't date publicly without their fans having a meltdown, they can't go outside in peace because their fans stalk them, they can't even feel safe in their own homes because their fans follow them there too. I think more idols dislike their fans than you would think and there's definitely not a single idol in the world that would ever date one of their obsessed fans. It's clear this drama is really going to require a huge suspension of disbelief and to throw all common sense out of the window.

He's the only interesting part of the show. Him and Chung Jae. They're the only reason I'm still watching this.
