In fact my comments have very little to do with Gangnam B-Side (which I have no investment in), but more the general uselessness of Flixpatrol, especially with the limited data available for Disney+. It's a very flawed site in general.

And surely there should be room for such views in a comment section where Flixpatrol data is used. I'm sure the usual JCW fans are right around the corner to make this comment section the usual lovefest, so I wouldn't worry about that. Wookie is on their way, I'm sure. :)

You can hit #1 in a small country like Greece with little difficulty when there's virtually nothing else new on the list, just various old movies and few things that are high-profile. It says nothing about how many people are actually watching. Just that it's more people than those who are rewatching Home Alone or Moana that specific day.

Asia is massive, but when Flixpatrol only shows top 10 lists for 5 (!) countries there (and again it says nothing about actual viewership), the data is close to worthless.

If you instead look at Google Trends, you will see a clearer picture of global impact.

It's really funny that it being #1 on Flixpatrol (which only compiles top 10 lists and not actual viewer data) in like eight countries (most of which in Asia) in is being used as proof of it being a "global" hit.

More episodes next year, though

Filming scheduled until end of January.

Sounds like you're projecting.

She's 30, won the Best Actress Baeksang 3.5 years ago and led two high profile dramas this year, but is somehow still a rising star? Come on, her breakthrough with Burning was 6 years ago...

This really made no noise, huh? I had hoped it would at least raise Kim Sung-cheol's profile, but he didn't even gain any Instagram followers; that's how you know a release has gone by entirely unnoticed.

Most random list ever, but I guess the writers are big fans of All of Us Are Dead. 🤣

I would definitely have included someone like Bae Hyeon-seong who had an excellent year with Gyeongseong Creature 2, Family by Choice and cameos in Hellbound 2 and Love Your Enemy.

Other rising (male) stars arguably more prominent than the ones mentioned in this article would be young actors like Choi Hyun-wook, Moon Sang-min, Lee Chae-min, Lee Jung-ha and so on.

Also insane to not list Jeon Jong-seo's best work (Burning) as a recommended work.

Already searchable on Disney+ app, they really are as impatient as we are 🤣

No, he stars in the film version.

Pretty sure a KSH project at tvN would jump the queue either way. But I don't mind JTBC.

If they are filming all 18 episodes back to back, S1 may still premiere in first half of the year.

They might release this in two parts too, just like The Glory.

Gonna need a date for this. Hopefully first half of 2025.

It seems somewhat strange to call this a youth drama when the leads are 28 and 35? And ML is a 9th-year lawyer and the synopsis speaks of him as "senior" and a "veteran" - make it make sense 🤣

Looks like this will be a Friday-Saturday drama on MBC, premiering in April 2025.

There have been many rumored dates. But it keeps getting pushed back. It is now unscheduled, so all we know is first half of 2025, but I think they're still filming so who even knows.
