cool info.

Thank you so much for writing this.

This was a great show for all the right reasons, cinematography, cool vibe, weird and wonderful characters, excellent plotlines and super work from the main ensemble.

Looking forward to JYB's next project.

Yay! Cant wait.

The idea that a very stiff closed off martial arts specialist could successfully teach kindergarten really bothered me. That is a fault in character construction. Otherwise I loved the show.

The wedding of the weird and wonderful second couple, Hye Ji and Tae Min, gave me more laughter and tears than I would ever have expected. Wonderful. I will come back to see this again.

Ep12. Delicious jail scene! I always knew Yeong Ran's mom would be good for something in the end!!!

ep12 Brilliant goodbye scene in the underground study. JYB has held back so long to portray the mask Yeong-Ran maintains to protect herself, that now as she reacts to her benefactor, in his absence, her reveal of emotion is very powerful. This scene really makes better sense of the Chairman, or maybe this episode does.

I absolutely LOVE THE REVEAL AT THE SHAREHOLDER"S MEETING!!!!! a classic.

Jang Yoon Ju was so beautiful and bad. Somehow neither effect detracted from the other. Great great job on a seriously one-dimensional character, she gave her portrayal volume and strength and never let the craziness, when it regularly blew up, overwhelm the other actors, or the scene's structure. Gorgeous.

A kdrama feels incomplete without a cute kid. JuWon's little actor did a decent job. His character's main job/effect was to efficiently create a more attractive, responsible and kinder character for DongMin .

Thanks. Relief.

lol -- this is quite mild for the usual kdrama heroine! Good on you for calling it out tho.

I think we will get some of the old collapsing of cinematic time and somebody will interfere with Ga Seong just before she kills her stepdad..the friend has come back from her errands, the police can be called, Yeong Ran may save the day...This is definitely not a tragic show...in the end.

I agree. Although the scenography and cinematography point in the opposite direction from realism, it doesnt mean that character arcs dont exist. The village is supposed to be a dream place, completely the opposite of this dark version of Seoul. Altho it is suposed to be remote, it actually feels most of the time as if it is on the opposite side of the door from the crazy fortress-house of the Chairman.

I have watched this show on air and enjoyed it a lot.

Happy to hear that, on a binge, the humor and surrealism which has not been obvious to many of the weekly viewers here, comes out more clearly.

Honestly, in context, complaining about 'realism' disguised as criticisms of the 'plot' makes it sound like these people havent actually watched a lot of kdrama/films.

This whole show gave me the 'cool' vibes of the 60's series 'The Prisoner' with Patrick Mcgoohan. Also some of the weirdness of 'Fractured Fairytales'.

Ep11, ending. What a great shot, JUST THE HEEL of Ga Seon, shoe stepping over the threshold of the fortress-house. Glittering in the darkened hallway.

Will Love In Spring basic premise in reverse. No morgue though.

JKH is such a good comic actor, but still classy.

Thank you LA for the industry news. It makes it so much easier to comprehend from the global end what happens with access to shows.

Does it mean that more kcontent will be locked up out of reach for netflix/viki subscribers? Right now TVING licenses to viki on occasion.
