yeah. Bae Na Ra. He is the oldest (34) of the main cast (betw. 28 and 23) but seemed ageless.

great show. amazing final fight. All great actors. That little next to last coda between Lee Jun Young and Jo Jung Suk was a treasure to keep.

Still hoping for more, but it looks like you guys are right, time's up -- its a crass netflix attempt to get the juicy community numbers, the straight BL romance fan numbers and anyone else they can. The proof is in the screentime given to Heesu finally stumbling his way towards his first real boyfriend. Heck, you can do anything you want to the original written source but the main lead lovers' time on screen is cut short, over and over. Who cares about tennis or music, bring on the astronomy!

great article. I think i will feel less lonely the next time i start yelling at the screen :).

This is so great! I am so excited after the first show! Yay Bona!!!

its on viki too, take a look

I like the people who comment here. They are fun. It is true however that many of us seem to have the same yardstick(s) for films and for dramas, ignoring length and codes and traditions. But who cares, everyone has their bias, whether it's kisses or music or camerawork or tradition. For ex. I adored the monk who claps his hands in front of the temple when Mommy Dearest appears.

No. It recently got a really good US review, which says it better than I can, but it is solid mainstream dark comedy.

Cant wait for him as an imugi. just watched mission possible, a modern, where he is a great fighter too.

He emits a deep sadness. I think that eps 11 and 12 will feel explosive because he has sustained that emotional tension for so long, or else they will be wistful and really sad. Either way I am happily waiting.

I just watched it and enjoyed it. Maybe it will revive on viki.

I agree. Downvoting this early is just nuts.

ep30. Lovely wrapup. Lovely comeuppance. True words and false words. Zhuang Shi Yang had the most amazing capacity to seem plausible even when lying through his teeth, didnt he!
The family gathering including those passed on -- isnt that what happens during the holidays in the imagination? This last family grouping seems to me to be more according to height and costume coloring. The only notable placement to me is little Ling Zhi dressed in orange with Zhou Ru Yin and Yu Shuan, and, on the other side, Yu Chi stands next to Yun Xi. Forgiveness indeed. Not sure I could have done that myself.

thanks, my mistake.

Pls does anyone have a link to a good english synopsis of the novel? If the ML is gay/bi in it does it matter to that ending? im curious.

ep.28. whoa nelly.

Waiting happily for the next episode...this series is a feast for the eyes. Love that two phase weird hallway to the President's office.

Nice article -- altho second couples will be less frequent at shorter length dramas, sigh. New niches? I would add to yr list one older example -- The Rational Life 2nd couple were beyond sweet -- and one new pair in My Dear Nemesis, tidily squeezed into a 12 ep. show , but powerful enough to be memorable.

( just finished Ep20-21, US east coast) The father Shi Yang and the concubine Ru Yin: the characters keep revealing even greater depths of cruelty, self-deception and narcissistic self-regard. The characters and the actor's characterizations (Yu En Tai and Wang Yan) are magnificent. Not sure but I think my hope for true love between ZHY and FYX is being used to drag me deeper into the maelstrom. How I wanted a real marriage night and how destroyed it was! Incredible! And now I am thrilled by the dark couple...

lull in other series, romedy ones. as everyone else says its great to have something thrilling and cool instead of hot all the time. sadness is what lee je hoon is bringing to the table here.
