Yes I know, we have already seen that, but that's why I don't understand why they do a trailer like this to promote the drama when it's definitely not the tone of the story. I don't get this promotion strategy.

Such an impressive and powerful acting debut. Well done ! I'm already a fan.

Sun's crying face in "Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo" is simply beautiful. And every time he smiles, it is like the sun is rising around him.

I'm looking forward to his next project.

Lee Sun is really the revelation of this drama for me. His crying face is so beautiful ! And he really is like a ray of sunshine every time he smiles. I'm really looking forward to his acting career and can't wait for his next project.

I still think the execution of this drama is lacking on some aspects and that some things didn't worked (at least for me) because they were not properly handled in the story development, but overall the story and the characters are interesting, there is a strong meaning behind it, with good morals, and it's a great drama.

I really don't get these comical trailers we are getting for some sageuk like this one when the stories don't look at all comical.

This is just slander and defamation. Which may be subject to legal action.
People really need to stop with these baseless accusations. Most actors don't talk or promote their first project, making conclusions about him just because in his case it was a BL is totally crazy. People like you really need some mental checkup.

Chang Wook delivering a masterclass on acting again with this role. Amazing ! All the acting is very good, but the way he portrays Yoon Gil Ho is particularly impressive.

It isn't my favourite genre or kind of story, so I wasn't sure what to expect with this drama, but the two first episodes were really good and interesting even though it isn't that original, so I'm really looking forward to the next ones.

Not having watched the original I'm not biased by it, but it's clear that it's a Thai story remake, because it's very cliché just from the first episode. Not that bad though, I will watch the next episodes with interest.

Production qualities of Japanese BL dramas are nothing new, and even expected now considering the number of beautiful dramas we have seen over the years. They are truly the masters of the genre. So the quality of this one isn't surprising. But there is nothing else to it, I found that first episode plain boring and totally lacking originality.

There are over 40 Thai BL dramas in 2024 so far... And over 20 Japanese BL dramas.

The characters are complex and thus those who criticise the drama are wrong because they just don't understand the characters, the story or the writing well, unlike you. This is very condescending.

Again, if a drama needs essays to make it understandable to everyone, the writing and story/characters developments are to blame. A story, even complex, must be understood by the majority of people, because everything must be explain at some point and in some way in the story. It might be subtle, it might need to rewatch it several times to notice it, but it must be there. That's why I wrote that it will depends on the last two episodes as well.

What you think you understand might be wrong too because you are biased on the subject it depicts. Based on all the comments here, the opinions are really divided, nobody is right or wrong, but at least some people don't argue that their opinion is better just because others don't understand the drama, like you do. There is a difference between expressing a personal opinion and writing that yours is right and better than the others because you think you understand something better than others.

Yu Shi received the "Excellent Character Portrayal of the Year" award at the Weibo TV and Internet Video Summit 2024 for his role as Batay in "To The Wonder".

Well, if you need to write or read an essay to make a story understandable for all, that's proof that there is a problem with the writing I think.

I don't think this person is right or wrong, it's only that person point of view of the drama so far (the last two episodes can change the interpretations and points of view). Another person can (and did) a different analysis of it and it could be valid too.

From 헤븐리 Heavenly:

보드라운 행복으로 포장한 긴장감 🎢"

The fluffy happy end is coming... I bet, just like I thought, it will be like nothing happened, leaving us with shallow reasons for everything but, hey!, what's matter is that it ends on a happy scene with a kiss, right ? 🙄

Or maybe they are adults who understand perfectly what's going on but think it's not well executed in a way or lack something ? Not everybody has to think or like the same you know.
This kind of condescending comments are really the worst... Praise the drama for what you like about it, stop complaining about others having a different opinion. Grow up ! ;)

For me he is just a cliché character. Hiding his feeling and sexual attraction for Do Hoe while they were in high school by bullying him. Then sticking to him as they meet again in college, hoping for Do Hoe to fall for him while he likes another man. Nothing interesting in that, too shallow for me.

Wouldn't be interested by a spin off focusing on Hyeon Ho, the character is not likeable at all for me, but Jang Yeon Woo definitely exudes a very sexy and lusty vibe, so I understand you and would be happy to see him more in the future.

I understand your point of view but I'm not convinced. "Moving" was in 2023, "The Atypical Family" this year and "Cashero" (I wasn't aware of this one so thank you for pointing it), is scheduled for next year. I don't really see a "trend" with so few dramas. Compared to dozens of rom-com every year, and other usual genres, it's quite a small amount.
I know Chang Wook mentioned that in an interview. I think it was after "The Worst of Evil". But in reality, if he is typecast, it's more as a rom-com master I think.
It's not that I want to see him play in an action movie/drama. Just that this one was offering a new type of character compared to his previous projects. So yes, a fantasy drama would sound good for me too.
As for "Frabicated City", it sounds more and more like the movie sequel each time some information is shared about this drama. I love the movie, so this lack of originality bothers me, but hopefully it will be good.
I have been a fan of Chang Wook for a long time, I'm always rooting for him, but I'm not a member of a cult, so I'm still having personal opinions and can be critic about his choices and projects, something many "fans" don't understand.

Of course there is saturation of super heroes stories over the world, but Marvel is Marvel, here it's a Korean drama, so it's still very different, and it looks nothing like the recent super powers dramas you mentioned.

As for the reference to "The K2", people should really move on. It was 8 years ago. He did "Fabricated City" next in 2017. And then only rom-coms and others things until "The Worst of Evil" last year that had some action, and this year and next year he is having new roles with more action again, but it's far from an actor being cornered to only action roles. "Welcome to Samdal-ri", which is the epitome of rom-com, was last year too.

Of course Chang Wook will do what he wants to do. Still, when it comes to adding a different type of roles to his filmography, this one is a miss, compared to is next project that is just the remake drama of "Fabricated City".

Really looking forward to this sageuk ! I think it might be a very good surprise for sageuk lovers.

Sharing roughly your opinion, and having watched "Hidamari ga Kikoeru" and "Happy of the End" with a similar opinion, I'm worried to watch "Love In the Big City" now, because I guess I won't be happy with it. ^^
