Tom

He looked so nice at the Baeksang awards today. I'm so happy we have two dramas coming up (Good Boy and When Life Gives You Tangerines) as well as Wonderland dropping next month! It's about time!

So? It's not like he would've done this if he didn't like the script.

I did not expect Lee Do-hyun to show up to collect his deserved award 😭

Melodrama

The genre section is wrong and mods refuse to edit it. This is a romance melodrama like all of Ahn Pan-seok's dramas. There will of course be some comedic elements to it as that is part of life, but it's not gonna be a "romcom".

My favorite - and it fits the title of the drama so well 🤩

Really funny comment to post about an Ahn Pan-seok drama

Feeling some schadenfreude over this drama totally flopping but Yoo Ah In getting praised for his role as one of the few bright spots. I hope the director/Netflix are feeling embarrassed about re-editing it.

No, they didn't. They confirmed he's positively reviewing the offer in March. He has yet to actually confirm his appearance in the drama. (https://www.soompi.com/article/1658455wpp/yoo-jae-myung-joins-kim-soo-hyun-in-talks-for-new-drama)

If you're suggesting this drama film was inspired by an obscure and at the time unreleased American comedy-drama with a similar concept, I find that highly dubious. This is not a novel sci-fi concept, and Upload was certainly not first.

Wonderland was already in production before Upload had premiered.

I assume this was delayed for 3+ years for a reason. Hopefully it's watchable since the cast is great!

BL overall lacks quality. For every Semantic Error or The Eighth Sense, there's 20 shit ones. This thankfully is something very different and possibly very exciting. But the BL crowd probably won't even like this much as it's authentic and complex with flawed characters and little fluff.

Mom's Friend's Son -> Golden Boy -> Love Next Door. They really can't decide on this one. I liked Golden Boy the most, but I think Love Next Door is a good title for a Netflix drama; it will intrigue more viewers.

He gets discharged in September,

If you actually read the interviews, you would see that his family are qualified professionals, but that they, as so many others, struggled with the IMF crisis which hit Korea very hard.

He became poor in high school, in the aftermath of the IMF crisis, like so many other Koreans. This is portrayed in many dramas, like with Baek Yi-jin's family in Twenty-Five Twenty-One.

KSH needs to officially confirm his appearance already 😭

He finally cut his hair; I love when he wears it short 🤩

Not much is known yet other than it being a black comedy. Based on the plot centering around fake luxury goods, it wouldn't surprise me if it had some action/thriller elements too.
