Except there are several other ways to have insomnia manifest itself without resorting to that. Most viewers don't want to watch characters in "ugly" makeup because they don't watch romcoms for realism.

Matthew is a cosmetics CEO who'd obviously know how to protect himself with SPF and the big hat you literally see him wearing in the promotional material. What did you want them to do with Ye-jin? Draw big cartoon-y circles under her eyes? Watch a documentary if you want realism.

If you can't see the depth of hurt under the veneer for both ML and FL here, you should probably not be watching dramas, and much less share your empty opinions on them.

What a moron. Apparently AI shouldn't be properly regulated in the business like everything else because it's, ah, "impossible to stop the future". Oh to be able to cruise through life on looks alone.

They gave Kim Eun-sook 13 episodes for Genie Make a Wish so I would be surprised to see anything less than 12 episodes for Park Ji-eun.

And the audience has spoken clearly with double digits on MBC and records on Disney+.

Why would they push this to 2027? So annoying.

False. It is not in production. Has not been filmed. Will not release anytime soon.

Well, we can already tell from the character chart that he is half-siblings with another character, so that clearly suggests more material.

Also considering he runs a cosmetics company and ML produces raw materials for cosmetics, I wouldn't be surprised if they end up collaborating in the end.

Felt like an obvious freeze frame before cutting to credits. When they show the full scene at the start of episode 5 it will likely show him moving more quickly. Very common editing choice.

It did really poorly on Korean TV with just 2.2% for its premiere, the lowest for a JTBC drama premiere in that time slot for years, I think. The rating also went down as the episode progressed, suggesting that people tuned out during the airing. But online reception seems positive. Maybe it can surprise on Netflix.

It's 2 though?

New ratings record for episode 4 with 11.1% on MBC! Highest rating for a Friday-Saturday drama this early in its run, I believe. Add to that the success on Disney+ and it's clear this is a hugely popular hit!

Seems the filming period has been updated to early May to late November. Should be 2027, surely?

And "just discussing their preferences" kind of ignores how tiring it is for everyone else to see comment sections hi-jacked by people whining about a trope we don't know how will play out in a drama that hasn't aired.

Look at their drama list - they don't like anything 🤣

Maybe they should build a bridge and get over it, then. SML being into FL is a staple in Korean romance dramas, and many of the most popular dramas feature this trope. Whining on here is not going to change that. Either you watch or you don't.

FL is writing BL about her teachers, but it's not actually BL. But I guess the vibes may be.

Finally Kim Sung Cheol as ML in a romcom ☺️

That's because she was talking about herself, relating it to her own experience of being thought of as a "siren" when she actually was a survivor. Through history, women have been labeled anything from sirens to witches (burned on the stake, even), often for little reason other than prejudice.
