I have just notice....the current trend in K drama ....they are going with 12-14 eps format. Ah, I'm used to 16…
some 16 episodes felt dragged.
Story wise, 12 episodes usually are good enough, although some dramas felt rushed. Another reason probably tied to cost factor.
Many dramas this year presented less than 16 episodes without felt rushed. Most of them worked so well. So the trend will continue for 2-3 years in the future.
I haven't started it but does the romance feel rushed?? I saw some scenes and idkðŸ˜
first 2 episode are good. it's not typical kdrama when the leads fall in love mid drama (ep 8-10).
It's fast paced. Almost like love at first sight. More like, love at first kiss (i'm sure it's not spoiler since it's the title, and mentioned in synopsis).
Maybe episode 3 and after will be typical K-drama. But first 2 episodes are really good, i'm hooked for next episode.
I have a feeling the angst is gonna be too much for my enjoyment, unfortunately. I hate lies, miscommunication…
i thought it gonna be modern cinderella story at first.
she met prince-y character that made her forgot her bad situation. Then the clock rang, time is up, and she went back to reality, without saying goodbye to him. (i'm already dissapointed when they stop intimate scene. but my dissapointment didn't stop there).
He then look for her, like in fairytale when the prince look for cinderella using her shoe.
But nah, they have to meet in common kdrama plot.
I can still enjoy it, just, please there is no past childhood connection, or parent's murder, writer-nim!!
The same... The plot isn't that good but it is a easy watch and there isn't a lot of better dramas airing now...…
yeah agree, not many good kdramas recently, i have to watch older romcom. Like, Flex x Cop, and He is Psychometric.
But, as for this year. Love Next Door is good. Bon Appetite and Genie Make a Wish also entertaining. Light and Fun.
As for airing drama, somebodies mentioned about Dynamite Kiss. Two episodes in, and i think it's good too. I'm imagine if Jung So-Min played the female role there, rather than playing in Would You Merry Me?.
I haven't seen bon appetit yet but what is the reference you're referring to?
yeah when i heard her dialogues, i do remember her scenes in Bon Appetite. But i just thought its a coincidence, because her drama released in a consecutive month, no way she can influence the writing during production.
Heard her dialogue after watching Bon Appetite is funny, cuz she is said "recently" as it a drama a go.
At first i can tolerate the cliches and tropes because of the leads. Without them, this drama is just mediocre.
I dont really follow Wo Shik's work. But probably it is also his worst drama.
That last 4 episodes is really lazy writing. It'll be better without evil uncle plot, because every story around his schemes doesnt make senses. I turned my brain off when overseas company did a fraud using edited photos of a factory. But from there it just get worse.
dont forget that she lied to her mom instead of just tellun her the wedding was off, for literally no good reason.…
im comparing her lie here with in Love Next Door. She lied to her parents about break up too, and resignation.
In both dramas, she lied about her bad situation to hide it.
But in LND, probably there are more screen time, so it not appear as bad as in WYMM. in LND we see how miserable So-Min's character, so we grew sympathy to her.
she's a liar through and through? she is a liar in 2 consecutive dramas.
JK, lying to our close people to hide our miserable situation usually understandable. It's not right, but we understand why people hide it.

Dynamite Kiss is a romcom i expected.
Hopefully it stay good till the end.

after quite sometime in the company, didnt he work with other teams too? especially he is the CEO

For romance scenes, or any scenes involving Woo-Sik and So-Min interaction, it probably satisfy both fans. Especially So-Min's fans, like me.
But the story overall is kinda barely written. This totally rely on both main leads.
In short, this drama feels like a fan service drama, just little of story as context for main lead's interaction.
but skip a lot of scene, except the main couple's. i love a lot their appearences.
But, no need to expand it to other dramas, because i'm sure there are other dramas that showing woman who have their ability to stand for themselves.
Some titles that comes to my mind like Run On, Agency, and Today's Webtoon showing woman who can stand on their own foot.
You really mean by "Kdramas" are "popular drama", or specifically "popular rom-com drama".
many things doesn't make sense here. i always turn off my logic when i watch rom-com.
but, tbh, it still rushed in episode 10.
It so rushed, it made the 2 villains seems dumb after years of scheming.
Bring back the rom-com, writer-nim!!
Oh, and a mistress!
