Even though I liked the movie as a whole, Heroine Disqualified gave me my worst case of SLS ever. They just didn't flesh out the lead's relationship enough to make her refusal to choose the dreamy, caring, considerate Kosuke over Rita understandable. I fell hard for Kentaro in that. Great article. I loved that you included examples from more than one country.

Same. Even I was in love with Kaga by the end.

ISWAK is actually my favorite version out of them all. It's dated now of course, but still worth watching, imo. You should give it a shot.

I thought the new Japanese movies were underwhelming so I wouldn't mind a new movie version. I loved Our Times and it made me a Darren Wang fan so that's a plus.

Dang the notes that singer hit! Wow!

I liked the first 3 episodes, but then life happened and I haven't gone back. My problem is I disliked human Nam Sim almost instantly and loved Nam Shim III. I can't see any arc that makes me like human NS enough to be ok with him and So Bong being end game. Just marry the robot and go off to build baby robots somewhere. LOL

I like that the suggestions are varied and more than one genre. I've also seen My Runway and really enjoyed it. I thought that the actors did a great job with staying true to their first character when they switched bodies and the leads had a nice, believable chemistry.

Yessss!!

Bummer

So who does Mi Na end up with in the end?

Thanks for the subs.

I've actually rewatched it twice. Guess I'm a glutton for punishment.

I hated him so much by the end,

I probably will. Hopefully she'll be able to sell the romantic relationship which is something she's never managed to do for me in the past.

I'm so torn. The drama story sounds interesting, though the episode count seems high, but I'm still torn as I'm not a fan of Zheng Shueng.

Great article. I appreciate the mix of dramas from different countries. I just hope that the jdrama ones get subbed especially Blues of Stepmother and Daughter ( love Sato) and Sachiiro in One Room.

What a roller coaster emotional ride this episode was! So much pain, anger, and helplessness from the victim's families, and there in the middle stands poor Chae Do Jin/ Na Moo still trying to do his best to control the situation, still bearing the weight of guilt for crimes that aren't his. Props to the actor for very convincingly showing Do Jin's slipping control as the events in the episode finally push him past the breaking point. Also how ironic that the scummy reporter dares to accuse him of being possibly sub-human when she obviously doesn't have a compassionate bone in her body! I'm glad for the time jump at the end that puts the book's release in the past to give the leads some breathing room. Also the new look for Do Jin as a full-grown adult was hot. (I'm shallow like that. LOL)

I was going to wait, but now I want to watch through at least 21. :)

No, I just meant the way they made 24 a special episode so they could hold the ending until next week.

Thank you! They really know how to draw it out.
