Kudos to these actors and the supporting cast for their care, joyful energy and precision. So much could have gone wrong with such a formulaic show. I nearly didn't make it past poor Seukryu being beaten up by her mother. I was actually first hooked by little Yeondu and her dad!

The joint projects with Japan's TBS are more interesting in this context. Am watching what comes after love right now. Cross-cultural hybrids between two very different production centers with their own styles...

So interesting. CEO Jang is not really talking about remakes, is he. Remakes are like a box of chocolates, everyone does them whether admitted or not, and they stand on their own in their country of production. Also, the titanic struggles in the Asian markets over what sort of hybrid recipes can make the most money outside of the country of production doesn't seem to be it. Isnt he is talking about farming out SK talents in composing, scriptwriting, maybe even directing and cinematography?
