Jealousy Incarnate!

FTLY was my intro to Kdrama and holds a special place today. I've rewatched it many times and it holds up! Yes the main guys laugh is OTT and weird, but after a few episodes it grows on you and you realize that he does it at certain times. It's a fun drama and full of angsty romance!

Possibly for many viewers, but I don't feel like that was the situation for me. I was juggling 6-8 dramas at a time and enjoying all of them, and then poof! They dried up overnight and I had a hard time focusing on anything new. I suddenly was only able to find maybe one at a time to watch with a little lag time between each, and not for lack of trying. I still want to watch, but the majority of last year's dramas just weren't that interesting. I've added a ton of 2020 shows to my PTW list though. I couldn't even say that about last year.

I thought it was just me! I watched a grand total of like 9 dramas last year. The rest couldn't hold my attention. (although 2020 seems promising....) That is way down from the 30-40 I was watching before. I've been rewatching dramas also - I figured I have enough under my belt now to do that, and still love all my old favorites. So, you may be right - it's not us! It's the dramas!

That was my hope as well. I choose to think that he faked his death and she met up with him in Russia.

They should give Jung Woo a cameo in this since he was a doctor in Reply 1994 (Trash).

It's a deal!

Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin? Um...yes please! :)

This cast!! AND by the writer of Prison Playbook AND the Reply series? I am SO IN!!!!

Yes! I want MORE Jung Hae In!

That's the same thing my husband and I said when we watched the first episode!

As usual, loved your article! I'm learning so much. :)
And I've been catching more and more of the "boxing" - things I wouldn't have picked up on before. So now there will be another thing to add to my list!

Loved the article! Looking forward to the rest of the series. :)

Looking forward to it! It was one of the most well-written articles I've read on here. You were thorough, clear, and concise.

Great article! And very informative! :)
I would love to see more parts to your analysis of dramas.

Agreed - Right now, no I don't like him. But there is something every once in a while that makes me pause to think - I *want* him to not be a bad guy.

It's so nice to have him back on a drama. (And looking so GOOD!)

I'm enjoying this a lot more than I thought I would. Anyone else hoping that Bok Soo and Se Ho also make up by the end and become friends again? I just so want to hope that Se Ho is redeemed somehow.

This is the craziest show I've ever watched. If you ever wanted the very definition of makjang, this is it. LOL! But I can't stop watching it.

The actors turned in a good performance, and the production was beautiful. But it didn't move me at all - I did not cry, or even tear up once. That's not to say I wasn't entertained, but there was definitely something missing. I don't think that I bought that the two were were passionate enough about each other to do what they did. I think the actors could have pulled it off, but the script failed them. I felt like their ending came less because of their love for one another than for the circumstances they did not want to go home to.
