Saying she isn't a very good actress is not 'character assassination' - she isn't. I've said the same about Lee Min Ho and Ahn Jae Hyun. And it's fine to judge actors on their acting ability - just like its fine to judge plumbers on their ability to fix a leak. The other half is a simple statement of fact; she is currently doing back to back dramas were she's playing an older woman macking on a younger man. Other actors - male and female - mix it up a bit. Sometimes they play with older, young or same-aged people. for example. Sometimes they play roles where they're not macking on anyone. A 'character assassination' would be if I said something about her character. But I don't do that because who she is as a person is none of my business.

I was just saying the other day that I wish drama makers would focus more on Korean literary novels when making adaptations, not just webtoons, etc, so this is excellent news.

It's rated a 7.0 before a single episode has aired? Why does MDL even allow that?

I thought that at first, but he appears to have a definite, fluffy tail (which hamsters don't).

What was the animal in a far-too-small cage that Young Min called his baby? Some kind of squirrel?

Thank you.

At the beginning of episode 14, who is the character who stops Ro Seo from approaching Nam Young and Shi Heum on the cliff (he puts his hand over her mouth) and then lets her go?

Wow, stacked cast.

After a very slow start, this really warmed up. I love that, although it's not free of tropes, it does also subvert them. The FL is the polar opposite from a damsel in distress, regularly saving the MLs life, the 2nd FL is an absolute delight - funny, brave and not trying to steal the FL's man - many of the side characters are fab (even the baddies). And everyone is doing actual acting.

I don't think his character was particularly unbearable in Nevertheless, but his acting - and the FLs - was very low energy. Looking back I think the programme makers were trying to sanitise the (for kdramas) somewhat racy nature of the storyline by making them more 'romantic' than sense suggests.

None of those left me yearning for a season 2, but MLSHR is particularly egregious. Would you resurrect the female lead? Moon Lovers: the zombie edition?

I'd like to see more literary Korean novels made into dramas. The reliance on 'toons and other things aimed at teenagers/very young adults is not showing the breadth and depth of this amazing culture.

My favourite Korean actress 100% and she has good range. Plus, she picks good projects.

ha ha yes!

He was decent in Sweet Home.

I'm actually enjoying some of the recent shows which show 30-something (and older) people doing things like being physically intimate (doesn't have to be graphic and lets face it, in kdramas, isn't) rather than the unrelenting, twee, umbrellas and funfairs. And staring. Lots and lots of blank-faced staring.

His range is excellent, he really does inhabit the characters he plays.

Only one episode in and I'm hooked already. It was soooooo good. I kind of knew it would be decent with that cast but it's better than that.

Amazing cast. Not one bum note (so far).
