Yes, and the Booker Prize is given to non-Booker books and Oscars are not exclusively given to men named Oscar. I just don't think they're good analogies.

The point is, why would a TV broadcaster give awards to dramas aired by their rivals? That's like Chelsea giving their Player of the Year award to Son Heung-min on Spurs.

Oh Jung Se is avoiding the spotlight after his "scandal" a couple of months ago where he was a passenger in a car where the driver (his manager I think?) accidentally killed someone.

The older brother is still a main character.

It's apparently very hard to understand that SBS Drama Awards is just for SBS dramas. 🤯

I love dialogue-heavy shows. Action tends to bore me if there's too many sequences of fighting, especially if it's chaotic. Then I just zone out. I also don't really see this as a "monster show", despite the presence of the titular creature. But it makes sense that action lovers find it slow.

I recently saw 18 Again for the first time and he was perfect in that. Incidentally, most of his scenes there were also with an older woman (and they had great chemistry). Also can't wait!

His supporting role in 18 Again is really nice. And that drama was good if you like that genre. His role in Bad & Crazy is more similar to TWE (action, fast-paced). New ML project in 2024.

They kiss in the next 3 episodes (it was accidentally leaked by Netflix).

I thought I didn't need romance in this but the slight enemies to lovers and forced proximity tropes are working their magic on me in this one. Can't wait to see how this develops in Part 2 + Season 2.

I really hope Netflix won't split this into two parts, but release all 8 episodes on February 9.

Sooo good. I'm happy it's doing so well on Netflix; it's a drama that deserves to be seen.

Loving this so much. On episode 4, portioning it out so the wait for the final three episodes isn't too long. It fills me with joy to know that Season 2 is already filmed and will also be released sometime in 2024.

Obsession is rarely rational.

SBS are getting pushback from Korean media for changing the rules for how they will select the winner of "Best Couple" at tonight's awards. After Song Kang and Kim Yoo-jung won the vote, they suddenly introduced a bunch of other criteria so that they can choose the winner they want. They speculate it's because Kang can't attend, so they'll give it to the Dr Romantic couple, since they're both attending. If so, it will be bittersweet for the winners, knowing that the viewers voted for another couple to win. Oh well!

It's not surprising; unlike Germany, Japan never really took accountability after 1945 and the end of the war. They don't teach the monstrosities of the colonial period in their schools either.

Still my favorite Song Kang role; I will definitely rewatch this in 2024 😍

I am obsessed with the crop jackets so keep them coming, I say 😌

Another tragedy after another witch hunt. My thoughts are with his family. I hope Yoo Ah In, one of my favorite actors, has good people around him, because it is not easy to be in the middle of something like this, as evidenced by this news.
