I agree wholeheartedly. I was expecting a standard rom-com when I started watching this, but it has proven to be so much more. In many Korean romcoms that I watched, the workplace stuff ended up being nothing but a backdrop, so it's great that in this drama, the workplace dynamics and the whole business issue are so central to the story. I'm shipping Da-jung and Jung-gi hard, but I can honestly admit that I won't be disappointed (much) even if they remain as nothing but co-workers by the end of this drama.

You guys are hilarious. But with a title and synopsis like that, how can anybody take this drama seriously? (Maybe it will make a lot more sense if we just read the manhwa.)

Isn't this a co-production?

No, I think DA fansub map just help people to see if a drama has been subbed or not (and help subbers decide whether to pick up a drama or not, in case somebody else had worked on it), but a locked sub outside DA will not be available on the site itself.

I know, but here's the problem. They don't just accept just anyone. You have to prove your cred by, say, having an active LJ blog. This can pose a problem if you're an older person (I'm not being ageist here; an active member in DA voiced this exact kind of complaint, referring to themselves) and doesn't have much time to maintain your presence in multiple sites.

I know this is scant consolation for us (people with no LiveJournal account, I mean), but sometimes people uploaded the member-locked subs to public sites like subscene several months after a show was aired. That was the case for Dr. Rintaro and Zeni no Sensou, I think. Hopefully some kind soul will do that too for this drama, eventually.

He's almost 50?! I thought he's still in his early forties! Whatever drug he's having I want one, too.

Someone is going to sub this, but I think she will have her subs available only for select people with LiveJournal account

Re: how they shot the scene. I totally agree. Especially that scene in the speech therapist's office, when Sakura started to sing.

Hmm, I don't even know how old the real actors are, but it seems that, judging from the comments above, the thing that put them off from watching this drama is the potential love line between actors who had 27-year age difference and not because the female character's still a minor, which doesn't seem to be the case. I'm assuming she (the character, not the actor) is in her early twenties and not in her teens, based on her job as a well-trained technician.

Love *Song*, not Love *Story*. I bet you guys won't like Harold and Maude ;)

I'm curious to find out what the deal is between Hee-sung and Soo-kyung. Considering how violent Soo-kyung is, why is he so passive and almost servile towards Hee-sung?

Nothing like The Queen's Classroom. I haven't watched Akumu-chan, though, so I can't comment on their similarities (if any).

This is so good it's almost unbearable to watch since it drains you (well, me, anyway) emotionally. Alzheimer's, the death of his child, and now bullying.

This is so true. This year it's Alzheimer's. Last year it was mental illness. My favorite was from 2010: gumiho.

It amazes me that despite the four-episode (?) cut, they still managed to convey a coherent story. Respect!

Who cares about the actors (much). I want to see this for the cockroaches!

Thank you for writing this. I'm enjoying Nietzsche-sensei so far. I Have Nothing in My House and Hero Mania sound interesting--will check them out once (if) they're available with English sub. I've heard good things about Litchi Hikari Club manga, but it sounds like a difficult project to translate to the screen.

I agree with Marooya. Besides, if you want to give your rating here on MDL while you're watching, you can rate individual episode rather than the drama as a whole.

Yes, please don't give up. I was confused, too, in the beginning, but reading the reviews on Dramabeans and the historical notes on bodashiri's Tumblr blog helped me a lot in understanding the story.
