The female lead pretty much spends the first few episodes screeching like a stuck pig, blind drunk or grabbing onto people (male, female, it doesn't matter). In real life, she'd be in a mental health facility, but then this is Hwang Jung Eum and this drama has more cliches than a very cliched thing.

I've only watched a handful of dramas more than once but this is one of them. But it's not for everyone. There's no romance, it's dark humour - tackling some very grim, triggering themes - and it's sometimes a bit cartoonish. But I loved it on the first watch and am discovering new things to like about it on the 3rd (Lee Je-hoon as a tricked out pimp, channelling Jang Hyuk is one such moment). Also, Choi Hyun Wook, who played such a sweetie in 25, 21 is utterly convincing here as a violent, smirking school bully.

if Disney+ has it then nobody outside Korea, maybe a couple of other countries, and a Dachsund called Colin will get to see it.

The most misused words on MDL are 'unique' and 'refreshing'. It almost always means that the dramas are neither. I'm enjoying Tomorrow, a lot, but it's like a Move to Heaven and Mystic Pop Up Bar Mashup.

No.

I kind of like the story but I wish they hadn't made the FL's character so (a) thick and (b) impulsive/uncontrolled/violent. The taser scene was pure cringe. I know that kdramas often take this route when portraying a 'strong' woman (apparently you can't be strong, composed and intelligent) but I wish they wouldn't.

So glad that Lee Min-Ki is back nailing an oddball role. I love how expressive he is, how he's not afraid to look homely by pulling faces (like a real person) rather than doing that blank-faced staring thing.

Thanks, but I already have. That's not a normal, relaxed mouth pose (for her). It's an affectation.

I see that the FL still hasn't learnt that duckface belongs to the last decade (possibly the last millennium) and it wasn't 'sexy' even then.

I like Kim Young Kwang but Disney+ is a terrible platform, continually pretending that content is available in all (or many) territories and then failing to deliver.

I think he's a better actor than many non-idols, actually. He was good in Red Sleeve and Good Manager, but he was amazing in Rain or Shine. It's just that the premise of this latest show is just so dull and childish. He needs something where he'll play another complex, nuanced character not the cliche cold chaebol who falls for 'candy'.

yeah, it's already an interesting, layered story, lets not shoehorn some badly-executed romance in just to keep the squeakers happy.

He'd make a good Reseng in an adaptation of The Plotters.

He's a good character actor (Rain or Shine, Good Manager) and, frankly, deserves better.

A chaebol and female employee 'plot'? Seriously, the writers need kicking up the arse. Still, I'm sure the squeakers will call it 'unique' and 'refreshing' even if it's wall-to-wall cliches.

I think its massively overrated; not egregiously bad but too much pure cringe for me.

Thank you.

Thank you. I'm used to random English (e.g. in medical dramas or to denote a pretentious character) but that one threw me!

Is the Korean word for chicken pronounced like the English word?

He already did.
