Just finished binge watching. Overall it's an entertaining show with some touches on humanity, the plot, character, acting and visual effects everything on point. But the final group battle (in school) dragged on bit too long and was boring at some part, it could have been shortened to 2 episodes and the ending would be more engaging.

yea, that part is not logical

The Kidnapping Day looks interesting, will binge watch later.

Very likely Ryu Seung Ryong will be nominated for Baeksang best actor next year, and probably will win it.

The overall box office performance of Korean movies has not been doing well so far this year, with only a few movies are able to make profit. "Dr. Cheon" may be the only one amongst 3 new movies released during Chuseok holiday that is likely to be profitable. Disregard the commercial factor, my pick is 'Cobweb' which got the highest critics rating from Cine21, will go watch it when it releases in my local cinema.

'The Escape of the Seven'- 6% rating isn't strong , in fact it is the lowest premier rating in 2023 for SBS weekend drama.

ar...just noted MDL remove him from the cast. so he didn't take the offer finally?

this looks interesting

Well deserved My Dearest for a big rise in rating, best of current airing shows. But perhaps due to its historical genre, this drama seems got better viewership in domestic market than global, the number of watchers in MDL is only about 6.5K and it is not trending in platform outside Korea. They should promo more to int'l viewers.

filler episodes/ scenes normally come in the middle of the whole show, hope this drama could keep up the current pace till the end.

It is just 'voice' cameo of Lee Junho, the man appeared in FL's dream is still NM. LJH and NM are good friends since Good Manager, and thats why... his appearance was reported by korean media so in a way had helped to hype the show. Cameo doesn't go thru normal casting n mostly due to personal relationship.

EP5's rating reached 8.4%, congrets. The rating is close to EP5 of the red sleeves. Hopefully can hit double digit by end of EP10.

Didn't know the situation back then, but for the new casting news in concern it seems not the case. At least for now.

How do you know those negative comments were given by the actor's fans? Likely they are just casual viewers and quite a number of them left comments because they mistakenly thought she got romantic pairing with the ML.

The war scene in EP3 & 4 was made surprisingly well for a TV show.

2nd gen idols are not active in kpop world anymore.

Because KTL is easy to watch, as simple as that. It is for people prefer light dramas, not same target audience indeed.

One reason is TRS was adopted from a popular novel and Yisan is an iconic figure in Korean history. In terms of rating, TRS kicked off around 5% as well, and it became a hot topic in Korean forum only from EP5 onwards. Give sometime to My dearest.

KTL ranked No. 5 in terms of viewing hours for all k-dramas ever broadcasted on Netflix and it just ended. Not sure where you got the 10m from , but its last 3 weeks had generated over 60m views per week. The show has quite a numbers of flaws but cannot deny that it is a big commercial success.

No wonder. So the earlier review bombing from Arabs who probably ticked completed/ dropped have effect now?
