He'll get a bunch of brand deals now so that should make up for GM's thievery.

Need him to do a steamy melodrama with a noona! That scene in Business Proposal, oh my. 🫨

Yeah, and it's one story of 18 episodes split in two parts essentially, so it would be difficult to just release S1, as it would just be half the story.

The new agency is already doing so well with him! Fun live-watching of the finale and great new pictures that show him from his best side. Hope he gets to link up with Byeon Woo-seok soon.

He has already admitted to grooming her in his attempt to clear himself of the allegations of dating her as a minor. Spending time at her house, sending her letters from the military and so on. And then dating her once she came of age, and putting himself in a position of power over her at Gold Medalist.

No guilty verdict is needed for what he's already essentially admitted.

Driving a girl to suicide on your birthday after grooming her as a minor and leaving her destitute after her DUI is hardly comparable to using a phone case. Grow up.

The classmates were convicted of defamation in court actually and ordered to pay him damages for the false allegations. He was proven innocent and his past teachers and fellow students released a letter in his support.

So funny how they're bending over backwards trying to prove that he was only sending "non-romantic" letters to the minor before dating her only when she was of age. Still grooming even if it were true, bro.

On top of that the news of Gold Medalist being suspected of financial deception and embezzling the earnings of their clients. I'm so glad Lee Chae-min got away from them. Hopefully Choi Hyun-wook next!

Everything is very green. For me it’s distracting and not visually appealing, hence “annoying”. Even though it’s clearly a deliberate choice in lighting/post-prod by the director, it doesn’t work for me.

8.4 ---> 8.5 ---> 8.6 🔼
Seems the ending was well-received 🥳

The overly green color palette is already annoying just from a 90-second teaser.

Seems likely, as it set a new record again for the finale.

Not really. Alcohol lowers your inhibitions and makes you admit or do things you wouldn't normally do, but that still speaks to your true feelings.

The king literally kisses her at the end of ep4 how is that nothing 🤣

Is MDL not adding cast to dramas anymore until they're officially confirmed?

That only works if it airs weekly on TV in Korea, but not for a Netflix original. They are always completed long in advance of release.

Yeah the initial goal was to produce/film earlier, but since they're not starting until next year, with 7+ months of filming for a 16 episode drama, it won't be done until summer even if they start in January, and then there's the post-production period which is often long with Netflix.

It starts *filming* first half of next year:

(So obviously it won't be released until much later, most likely first half of 2027)

Netflix's 2026 Korean slate is basically already full and this drama hasn't started filming. Based on their usual turnaround time, there's no way it's coming out next year.

People say that though but then complain later that the drama got draggy 🤣
