No, the dates on MDL are just wrong. It's two episodes per week.
Namu wiki lists the broadcasting period as February 17 - March 25.

No, it's a Monday-Tuesday drama.

For someone who's not familiar with the source material, I thought the teaser looked great.

The rating depends on where you live. It's rated 13+ for me.

How so? The only superficial commonality I can see is the gamer aspect. Love O2O doesn't have an office setting for the romance, nor does it seem to use the second chance romance trope or the enemies to lovers trope (in fact it's tagged with "instant attraction" which is the opposite trope). Also the ML is older than the FL in Love O2O but younger than her in MDN. And the ML is an athlete in Love O2O but definitely not in MDN. Where is the "heavy" inspiration exactly?

It's based on a webtoon, which is what it's heavily inspired by.

Finally she has picked her Queen of Tears follow-up! "Positively considering" = 99% certain.

I wish you could post gifs here so I could use the "It's been 84 years" one from Titanic.

This is rumored to premiere in August already and be simulcast on Netflix weekly.

Enough with this nonsense. He very recently spoke highly of his debut in You Make Me Dance and how it helped him portray a gay character (again) in The Tale of Lady Ok.

Netflix often uses actors across several of their dramas. It's easier to get a "big" actor to take a supporting role, if the actor already has a main role in another of their dramas coming up.

If it were BL, this comment section would be full of people complaining about it not being “fluffy” enough and bemoaning the (very likely) open/bittersweet ending. But also just because I prefer realistic queer dramas to the wish fulfillment you typically get with BL.

It will be an understated, bittersweet queer drama. Not a "BL" (thankfully). The write-up for the 2025 Japanese slate also (once again) confirms it's a love story:

10,000 watchers before airing 🤩

tvN Asia is carrying it for some countries in Southeast Asia (🇸🇬🇲🇾🇮🇩🇵🇭) it seems

Really liked her in Trauma Code! Hope this is a better romcom for Haein than Love Next Door 🙏

CEOs can't exist without being compared to PSJ and his AURA. 🤣
(Ahn Hyo-seop got this comparison all the time for Business Proposal too)
But CHW has been called "baby PSJ" for a long time because of his visual 🤗

I don't think MDL has updated the end date after it was adjusted from 16 to 12 episodes.

Considering how much buzz this already has and how high the ratings will be when it comes out in 2026, I'm surprised some are asking "who wants this?" The answer is a whooole lot of people, including me.

One of the best kdramas ever, with one of the least satisfying endings. Perfect for revisiting.

It seems to be confirmed that this will be an action romance drama
