Really? Probably because I don't only focus on watching J dramas, I tend to watch whatever is popular for convenience sake, because whatever is popular gets on my radar :D I still think this is the most normal and touching one compared to even the "proper" ones ( to use your term) I've watched. Since I'm one of those people who watch for pleasure, the other realistic ones I've seen are either too dark and heavy, or too uncomfortable for my taste. But I feel differently with this one since I enjoy watching it so much. Anyway, thank you for the lists :)

Wow.. This I think, may just be one of THE BEST Jdorama I've seen. Ever. It's the most emotionally relatable and meaningful, unlike other mainstream ones that tend to be weirdly nonsensical and disconnected from reality. This one has a lot of weight, especially for a Japanese drama. It for sure leaves you with a deep impression. I absolutely would love it if there were to be a sequel in the future.

Gosh this is SO MUCH FUN to watch! Gives me a good laugh every time XD

Kwon Yool is everywhere this year. They first showed his back, and I was like, don't tell me it's him again. Aand, yeah, it's him, again . lols!

I've only noticed Lee Hye Young now , and I have to say she's such an interesting seasoned actress. I especially find her voice so mesmerizing. Something in the way she speaks and I guess the tone of her voice instantly transports me into the middle of a story-telling session. That voice is just perfect as a fairy-tale narrator. I am so amazed every time I listen to her :D

Am only on ep 3. Quite enjoying how different it is. It gives off a dark fairy tale vibe, and I was pleasantly surprised that it also has comedy 😎

What went through my head while watching this drama in progression:
1. Hmm, okay, typical story,, huh,, why are they playing American football here instead of soccer?
2. Alright I'm starting to emphatize with FL, I wonder what could be that "big secret reason" of hers ? And all these other people can just go crash and burn- except for the wronged ML ofcourse.
3. Tsch, that's it? That's her "big" reasoning? I don't understand how that could even be one of the foundation of the whole story ( Lost any sympathy for FL, don't even know why I'm watching this anymore)
4. (Watching just for the sake of watching at this point)
5. I don't know what the heck is going on with that final ep. There's so many twist & turns and things that don't make sense jammed into that one final ep, it's confusing & making me conflicted. Whatever they tried to do there just can't salvage anything.
6. Okay , oh whatever, couldn't care less. Geezz,,,

uhhh,, i don't know about Jin Goo having long hair XD Very weird look for him imo

I guess so, I was puzzled as to why they were playing American Football XD

lol. yes, obviously.

I understand that's what most people in this comment section is taking issue with, but I'm looking at it purely from a drama-watcher perspective, not considering other things, and objectively it's pretty good like the usual dramas. The sexual offender you mentioned is I think already old news, perhaps 2-3 years ago? He's been in SO MANY dramas afterwards, it's surprising everyone is blowing up on just this drama because of it. The BL I'm not familiar with because I don't consume that genre, and so objectively speaking I have nothing against this drama.

I agree, he looks handsome with long hair

First 2 eps are pretty good, I'm enjoying it

Every time I see Roh Jeong Eui she looks different in each of her dramas. It looks to me she's always progressively done some face alterations each time. I can't pin point what specifically though. I only notice she filled her teeth gap in her earlier days and did some work on them.

yup, FL mostly has this frozen expressionless face. Especially at the very end XD She looked like an amateur kid actress when she said bye bye and gave that wave.lol

ROTFL. He puts the ring on her finger and said: " I enlarged the size of the ring . This way you won't feel restrained." and I'm like, DUDE, don't you think maybe you went a little overboard with that? Just look at the size of it, It's like she's wearing a keyring on her finger! You serious?!?! LOL. Cracks me up.

I really want to get into this, but as someone who can only give about 70% of my attention when watching dramas due to lack of time because life always gets in the way, I just can't get myself to to enjoy this. You really need to give this your total undivided attention to really appreciate it. It's too heavy and complicated to watch in passing, especially if you're not familiar with politics, is how i feel.

I was saying the same thing! Though I don't remember ep 1-2 anymore, i only noticed her in ep 3 and 4. Lol what a new way to do things. It's kind of like a play of some sort XD

This is the first drama where I noticed they used the same supporting actress for 2 different supporting roles back to back , lol. She was a shaman in ep3 and then a grieving mother in ep. 4. Then I look at the cast list and she's listed as restaurant owner from ep1-3. I don't remember ep 1-2 anymore, but this is new to me XD

Uhh,, i don't know what is going on here. Something's off about the entire first episode. And I don't think I have an unrealistic expectation of this, but the whole thing is an unrecognizable mess, and a waste of the seasoned talents.
