I thought that, but the cringiest part of me was hoards of screeching fangirls over a man who runs a two-bit cram school.

Does "She has a particularly strong libido" mean that this 30/40-something woman does not simper or screech like an unusually naive teenager whenever a male of the species hoves into view?

I feel sorry for the real grandson, particularly as they keep replaying that segment where he's crying over his dying dad. Poor little mite.

So cute that Seo Hyo Rim really is married to Kim So Mi's son in real life , , ,

i hope they don't turn it into another SS with 30-something virgins coyly simpering over each other.

The English one was garbage - they tried to stick to the French original TOO closely and some things don't translate. The Korean one is decent (so far) but I do think they could have handled the too-old-for-Tarantino story line in a more Korean way; a Korean actress refusing some minor 'work' lacks credibility. The English one also lacked star power (the French has Isabelle Adjani FFS). The Korean one, again, seems better in that respect.

Crazy Love was awful - a twee tsunami of bad tropes. Plus the pure cringe of hundreds of women screeching, fangirlstyle, over a bloke running a cram school.

"What next season you're most excited?"

About? For? Why do the mods/admin never edit?

Why do they need to change it? Nothing 'bad' happened in the original and even less in this version. They did a bit of drunk staring. That's all.

Thanks, I didn't know about that one. Still, from the synopsis this seems based on the same incident. Also this: https://thebeaulife.co/art-entertainment-news/harbin-movie-hyun-bin-cast-release-date

"Harbin" is a period spy movie that revolves around Korean independence activists in the early 1900s who launched a daring attack in Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang which is China’s northernmost province, against the Japanese to gain their country’s independence.

"The movie is much-anticipated not just because of the big celebrity names attached to the project but also because of its potentially controversial subject. In 2014, Japan criticised a memorial honouring activist Ahn Jung Geun who assassinated Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito at Harbin Station in China in 1909. While Ahn Jung Geun is celebrated as a hero in South Korea, he is seen as a controversial figure in Japan."

Only one of the characters is a 30 something person 'trapped' in a child's body - based on the synopsis.

Wonder if it's about An Jung-geun?

I like her as a baddie (in her earlier dramas) but in her 'romance' roles she's very blank faced. Great if she can prove me wrong and show some acting/emotions.

The wig, after all, was the main character.

Yeah, they'll just give her curly hair. Quelle horrreur!

That coffee-sweet company must have paid for the whole drama. Apart from the egregiously obvious (and relentless) product placement and the last-minute noble idiocy trope I quite liked this, but the MVPs for me were Gwan Nam and the head prosecutor and his 'queen'.

Kwak Shi Yang is one of my favorite actors. Compare the glowering evil of his character in LOTRS with the lovable buffoon in Cafe Minmidang. Hard to believe it's the same person. That's what top-notch acting is. Not playing yourself or standing around decoratively blank-faced but inhabiting your character.

Great cast and an interesting premise.

Because that's the plot.

Yes.
