FINALE SPOILER BELOWWWW

The scene with Suho in the finale was everything I wanted and so well acted by Hyunwook and Jihoon. Now that I know that, I can start watching from the beginning. 🫶

It's just three people who voted early, no need to be dramatic. This always happens.

"Nine Puzzles will be available exclusively on Disney+, with six episodes releasing on May 21, followed by three on May 28, and the final two on June 4, for a total of eleven episodes."

I doubt it. I’m guessing they’re just being coy about Choi Hyun-wook’s appearance. He wakes up in the manhwa and this season covers the rest of it, so there’s no reason he shouldn’t wake up at the end. We’ll know on Friday.

Noh Sang Hyun 🥰

Even for those who don't like the original Korean content on Netflix (they're very hit or miss for me), they are licensing some of the best dramas on TV in Korea for weekly drops, as well as having a rich library of some of the best older dramas (including some I've not seen yet). So I still definitely think it's more than worth the subscription fee for me personally.

That's definitely not true. With big streamers like Netflix and Disney+, we now have far *more* variation in terms of the production of Korean dramas for instance relating to genre and maturity ratings. We're also seeing more queer dramas on streamers like TVING. The only thing that's really repetitive is the tropes in romantic dramas, but that was always the case.

If you watch the trailer again now on the Netflix app with the English dub, there's a cut right where the words"Suho's hospital" were when they first released it. So now Sieun just says "If you step foot near [cut] again, you are all dead."

No, Weak Hero Class 2 is the correct way to refer to it. "Class" is used as the season descriptor on Netflix. The drama itself is just listed as Weak Hero, where you can then select Class 1 or (soon) Class 2. So there's no "season".

Soon you'll be hard pressed to find a Korean movie that this man *isn't* starring in.

Very interesting how Netflix seem to now have cut the part about Suho's hospital from the English dub trailer after it blew up on social media. An accidental spoiler, it would seem. 🤭

I don't know him but every time he was on screen I was distracted by his huge teeth (veneers?) and how his lips struggled to cover them whenever the character smiled his stupid smile.

Many love Chaemin, myself included. Casting directors as well, it would seem. One of my favorite male rookies, and I can't wait to see him in Cashero and The Tyrant's Chef later this year.

Maybe the focus will be more equal in this version. Judging on the poster they seem to be selling the love line at least.

This year

Such a beautiful, tender queer coming-of-age story. Love the sweet slow-burn romance.

I love both Jae-yeol and Ji-won, but it seems clear Jae-yeol is the one for Bunny. Ji-won is giving more brother (or gay best friend - now that'd be a twist). Also Dong-ha has my heart too. Such a fun start!

We're only four episodes in. Kim Hyun-jin is also listed as a main character, but his arc ended this week. It seems clear Hong Min-ki will be a bigger factor in the second half.

It's become the highlight of my weekends. Perfect drama for spring.

I'm starting to lose count of the number of kdramas that start out well in the first half and then the writer completely loses the plot towards the end. That said, I mostly did enjoy this! Great cast, mostly fun.
