The end of episode 8 is ridiculous. It ruined the whole drama of the episode to me. I wish the writers would pick…
Writer Park Ji-eun is famous for very skillfully blending the two. It may not be for you, but judging on this drama's success and that of her past dramas, it seems to be a winning recipe.
Episode 10 fell to the lowest TV rating of the drama's run with 2.2%. I can't say I'm too surprised. I will finish this for the actors, despite the writing, and hope that it at least has a good final episode.
Every once in awhile netflix drops a sad drama with a sad ending like 2521. Even though in 2521 we saw the hints…
I don't find the dramas comparable. In 2521 it was clear all along they hadn't ended up together because of the frame narrative with the daugher. That was no surprise. But in this drama the whole point is them getting through a marriage crisis together. If she dies at the end, it'll all have been in vain. Besides, this writer usually delivers a happy ending. I think we will get it here too.
Real-time tv rating for episode 7 suggests a new Saturday record, but maybe not quite as high as last Sunday. But that does suggest the drama is on track for a new overall record at >14.1% tomorrow. 😍
He did the right thing staying quiet and not airing their dirty laundry in public. The others should’ve kept the drama off Instagram as well. Netizens may be hating on him for being a “coward” but for many of us, it’s clear it was the best strategy. In that sense, the breakup is unsurprising. Their priorities didn’t align. Even now, HSH is posting memes online, broadcasting everything. He’s clearly a more private person.
its probably a huge challenge to the writers, editors and director.
True, and they shouldn’t have been put in this situation where they had to compromise their own creation and vision just to avoid criticism. It also puts a heavy load on an actor who’s already struggling, to also feel responsible for the re-editing and the diluting of a project so many people worked on. All to please a culture that loves to kick people when they’re down.
Inevitably it will be less coherent when they’re trying to edit out the male lead. It’ll be worse than Bloodhounds.
It’s sad that art has to suffer because of an actor’s personal issues in a culture that won’t let people make mistakes. I would have watched this unedited, but now it feels like a waste. I just fundamentally disagree with this approach. Where is the humanity?
Their chemistry looks lovely in the table read video. Not sure I can handle 16 episodes of smiley, cheeky, flirty Wi Ha-joon. Jung Ryeo-won, how does it feel to live MY dream?
