Wanted to watch it on Netflix. Episode 2 has a karaoke scene that's obviously cut to bits (including BTS).
Thanks to a thread here, I also saw mention of missing music in Ep1.
The special episode ('0' on the usual streaming places) is a preview of the show and only has spoilers regarding some side character stuff. Nothing THAT major, so you could watch it before ep 1, or after a few episodes.
Imagine you're watching Reply 19xx, but long-ago nostalgia is replaced by a prison and occasional blood. Instead of goat noises, initially there is some dumb music to tell you when you're supposed to find things funny. Unfortunately later they just use a noise as annoying as Reply's goat, if not worse.
On the other hand at least it doesn't seem like there's lots of music and other licensed content missing on Netflix. (Whereas watching Reply on Netflix or most other streaming services is pointless since it's so incomplete and cut down.)
For some reason, legal streaming services (like Netflix) and even a UHD Korean TV broadcast have at least one,…
The censored episode 13 ends with a short amount of kissing against a wall. The full episode continues that process for like another minute and half, reaching other scenery along the way.
The ugly-quality video on sites like Dramacool is the uncensored version.
For some reason, legal streaming services (like Netflix) and even a UHD Korean TV broadcast have at least one, uh, intense scene cut out. If you're here for the 'steamy kiss' tag, click the spoiler comment.
Preface: I am not a skipper. I don't even know how to. I have never fast-forwarded a drama and declared it "completed", or watched one at increased speed, or skipped past certain plot points, or only watched scenes with a specific actor, or anything like that.
The tags "business, comedy, romance" might give you an incorrect impression to begin with. This is an office rom-com. "Business" is the setting, but virtually never of plot relevance.
With all that in mind, this is the rom-com with the least funny supporting characters I have ever seen. As the episodes went on, I started keeping count to make sure, and only by very generously rounding up could I say that there was a single time a scene not involving the ML/FL made us laugh. I'd go as far as guessing that the main writer(s) limited themselves to the primary couple's arc and everything else was handled by a bunch of freshly hired interns. => If you're the skippy type, skipping past all scenes that don't have the ML, the FL or their younger forms on screen is certain to be an effective strategy.
The version of WWWSK I watched had the steamy kiss and bed scene cut short at the end of episode 13.Apparently,…
Thank you for the reminder to check this, I knew about it beforehand but forgot to pay attention when ep 13 came around, and now realize that while I watched it in gorgeous 4K, I indeed missed out on that scene.
Not sure what a good way to obtain and share this kind of information is. Some shows like Pinocchio or While You Were Sleeping or the new Anna also have an extended Director's Cut version that contains additional material compared to the broadcast and streaming versions.
You are not alone I'm also felt the same, I started watching this for FL, but due to repeating of scenes from…
I didn't watch True Beauty, Doom, My Secret Romance but the "scene theft" from WWWSK is quite a lot already.
I'm told The Secret Life of My Secretary has plenty of elements in common as well, but my friend doesn't remember it clearly enough to say if there's any copied scenes.
it was the hidden camera/stalker guy. I had a big impacts in the characters for maybe 1 and half episode and after…
There's also the manhwa element to consider: unfortunately you can't expect realistic follow-ups or a logical plot. MDL says you watched 2 episodes of Rugal... a good approximation would be to say that the physical laws of the universe might change from episode to episode.

Ah, you mean that the ML and his bro went all Batman and punished him, then the ML also went all chaebol and bought up everybody who ever talked to him to eliminate his future chances in society..... and as a result the SFL had a public toilet phobia until the SML showered her in caring&attention to heal her? (Which is kind of the same as the FL healing the ML's life-long rain phobia by being nice to him on one single rainy day.)
Somehow when I have high expectations from the plot (ok, didn't have those here) or a show has a very high MDL rating (8.7!), I always end up very much disappointed. This one actually starts out pretty strong, but 85% of the actually funny jokes are somewhere in the first third, and like all(?) manhwa-based shows, the story gets more random and inconsistent over the course of the season. Episodes 10 and 11 are not only more poorly written than the material before, but even the director or editor did a lazier job.
Fortunately that didn't happen.
There extra character inserted in the start of ep 15 wasn't necessary at all, but also did not bother me.

The first 17 ish minutes is just replays. (There's still many afterwards)
