I found it entertaining because it reminded me of 1 Night 2 Days. It's very similiar: driving around the countryside and playing games in order to eat and leave early

I'm so watching today's episode rAaawr. I mean raw haha since yesterday's episode is the bomb. Just see the comments below!!!!

Seriously, I don't know where they're trying to go with this drama and I'm struggling to finish each episode. I might drop this too like the others. I guess every actor/actress who does more than 1 drama a year is bound to do one bad drama at least. Mystic Bar was good though.

I screamed a little when Kim Soo Hyun came all dashing in the studio ? I thought he was cute and looks fine with casual clothes, but wow just that hair alone makes me swoon and with that suit...he's just so handsome haha. Man, I wish they would have the male leads put their hair up like that and not have their bangs down all the time which hides their whole facial features.

Male lead as her secretary! Heeee....this is my dream ya'll lol.

Halfway through the show and I already rated this 10 (which I rarely do, like a handful out of 500+ drama record) because it's that great!!!! This might not have a lot of views but the quality definitely deserves a bigger stage and audience! I've never really seen anything like this before in more than 10 years of watching. A big plus for switching the gender roles: female lead as the leader (or politician) and *read spoiler*......

You explained it very well -- the loss of a person through suicide. And you definitely hit the nail on the head about me being confused as to why I got affected by somebody who I don't personally know and a celebrity at that. I've never been an avid fan of anything or anyone, but because what happened was suicide and my first writings were about that topic including other taboo topics (I studied journalism), it really got me thinking to say the least. Looking back, I realized that I knew nothing about suicide back then and even felt ignorant when I remember that paper I wrote as I was so opposed to that action (I still am but with a different perspective) and somehow criticized the people who committed or tried it. You're welcome and thank you as well for giving me some answers and/or comfort.

Wow, episode 4 hits close to home because it aired same day or hours after Miura Haruma's death. For those who watched it, I'm talking about the subject matter of the episode: suicide or a depressed friend asking for help (if you want to put it in a way that is less blatant). Is that pure coincidence or is it sending us an important message? And to think that, they posted "accidentally" posted episode 3 instead of episode 4 on streaming websites...weird.

Life is tiring. But without it, there's nothing.

I was about to write a 1 page essay to say my goodbyes to Miura Haruma, a talented Japanese actor with a great passion for art. Yes, art, because he treated acting as one. I came up with 2 sentences in a flash after contemplating for 4 days after his death what to write. Should I start by thanking him for his works? Reminiscing when I first discovered him and grew up with him? Explaining why I'm affected by a person whom I don't even know? Voicing out my complaints about taking one's own life should be talked about not buried? Sharing my turmoil in not knowing why? Saying I'm a curious person is an understatement. And I guess, it's because this is my first time experiencing such -- death of someone you know or you feel you know. Hence, I'm trying to share it rather than keeping it contrary to my cautious persona.

All those stuff that you said, including what the others said, were all the info that I found. There's also one speculation where Kento Kaku posted that we should stop cyberbullying hours after they announced Miura's death. He didn't mention Miura's name, so it might just be a coincidence. Either way, the J-celebrities are super discreet or quiet about this. I expected a flood of condolences via Instagram coming from his fellow actors/actresses, but there was only a handful and I follow more than 50+. Even if they do, it's just so vague or without even mentioning his name. For example, posting a picture of the sky (which could refer to Koizora) and writing a poem about it (*coughs* KimuTaku). Either way, you could feel how much their society, not just their entertainment industry, wants to quickly bury this event. If holding a funeral the day after his death is not a big sign of how weird this situation is being handled, then I don't know what is.
I can give you links to the few posts from Instagram when Jcelebs mentioned him if you want. I also just found interviews from family and friends about their thoughts about his death through a Japanese news website (hard to read though because of "super accurate" Google Translate) after I saw you message, so let me know if you're interested.

I saw that too but I still feel that those are just speculations or that's just 1 of the 100 reasons and there's something else. Anyway, I guess whatever the reason is in the end will still leave us hanging.

It's like he left a puzzle that was never intended to be solved. I still can't find anything to what might be the reason is (the clues here and there are just not enough) after 3 days of research. It feels like I'm watching a mystery Jdorama of his and I'm left with a cliffhanger and trying to find spoilers for the ending, or so I wish. I wish that all of this is just fiction (pandemic included).

Same girl. Same. If only I could buy a Gong Myung lol.

Am I the only one who thinks Gong Myung is Se Ra's slave/boy toy when they were in her room and she looked at him funny like she was gonna devour him? Loool. I found myself saying, "I want one!" Hahahahaha....

Slice of life, character-driven, or probably dramas with a smart plot . I can watch any genres as long as there's substance in the script. For example, I like Skate Into Love even though it's mostly fluff sometimes (I skipped the other characters' scenes) because there's some realness in the leads relationship and also, the unique aspect of exploring the skating world.

This is so slow that it makes me read CNN news on my phone (which I rarely do) while watching it lol. I'm all for slow-pace, character-driven, slice-of-life drama but this is not it for me. I recommend Jdorama Tatta Hitotsu no Koi (starring Ayase Haruka) if you want a good male Cinderella type of story with more depth and better storytelling.

I rated this 7.5 (that's being generous) for Kim Jae Wook, the-hopeless-romantic-mute-ghost-with-a-piercing-gaze. Phew! That was a mouthful haha.

Yes, who can forget the triple-threat Yoo Ah In, Ahn Pan Seok, and Jung Soo Joon from Secret Love Affair? Actually, make that quadruple-threat because of Kim Hee Ae but even just those 3 is enough for me lol. Unfortunately, the story was too heavy so I couldn't finish it ?

The funny thing is my 50+ dad watch dramas like Heirs and When You Were Sleeping (and I dropped those dramas) while I watch Dear My Friends and The Good Wife (Korean version). So I say, preference might not be related to age more than you think.

I'm 25 and I watched I Heard It Through the Grapevine (young leads but the rest of the cast are older or veterans) when it was airing, so I was probably not even 20 at that time. It's a rarity in Kdrama because of the subject matter and its black comedy genre. Highly recommended. A gem from Ahn Pan Seok PD.
