Why would they let go of it when viewers love it? Both What's Wrong With Secretary Kim and Business Proposal are in the list of the all-time top 10 most popular dramas on this website.

Episode 3 hit the highest TV rating so far with 4.5% (+1.0%) 🥳

Teaser looks great! Will definitely watch.

A gecko is a lizard. You're looking for "from the get-go".

Lim Ji-yeon deserves a Best Actress nomination at this year's Baeksang Awards for her powerhouse performance. And Choo Young-woo should be a shoo-in for at least a Best New Actor nomination.

Yeah, I am referring to their track record with having popular hit dramas. As you say, several of their dramas have been good enough to have deserved a wider reach. But that becomes difficult when Disney+ can't get the promotion part of it right.

No idea what you're on about. I am talking specifically about the investment for this drama, which has already affected the stock price for CJ ENM and Studio Dragon (source: https://www.newsis.com/view/NISX20250128_0003047220)

Mostly the latter, I think. The director did the same with Seo Jung Yeon in his previous drama.

How do you spend 5+ years and 60-70 billion won on a drama with a dead on arrival script? Where is the quality control? Heads are gonna roll at CJ ENM and Studio Dragon after this colossal failure.

It should be fine. The Baeksang eligibility window does not follow the calendar year, but goes from April 1st to March 31st. The last eps of WLGYT air March 28th.

They don’t really mention their ages so it doesn’t matter much. But the production really didn’t need to make the time jump in the first episode so big, like for what reason 😭

Absolutely shameless to try and capitalize on someone's death and release this. If the production company wanted to release it, they could have done so while she was still alive. Unbelievable.

It did underwhelm globally on Netflix in terms of points on Flixpatrol, but it's too soon to call it a "flop". We'll know more when Netflix drops the viewership numbers for the first half of 2025.

Four episodes each Friday in March.

Well, the drama has to at least be eligible for it to have a chance, hence why I was wondering about the cut-off date for eligibility. :)

I am unreasonably excited about this drama. Looks like it could be an all-timer.

I love Bogum in everything, but found him especially good in Love in the Moonlight, for which he was also nominated for Best Actor at the Baeksang Awards that year.

What webtoon? Nowhere have I seen any info that this is based on a webtoon.

I really hope this is a hit, but Disney+ doesn't have the best track record, with the exception of Moving. Hopefully they will spend a lot on promotion. Splitting it into two seasons is probably smart, because it gives more people the chance to discover the drama in the interim, who will then be seated for S2.
