On which platform/network will this show be aired?

Hope they will have official announcement of this soon, and give more production details especially the script writer info. and release date.

Her role is ML's sister, no romance between them

Agreed, he is using his own name as brand now without the group tag. Korean media didn't use 2pm tag in his news headline anymore, foreign media outlets need to follow at least for his actor related news. He got lots of love and recognition because of his latest two dramas not music or group work.

Her role is exactly ML's sister, they are not a couple.

I think he will take a commercial path for now, and likely he will take this offer. KTL is brainless but cannot deny that it is a big commercial success. I will watch his new show as long as it is fun and entertaining. and i believe he will do less commercial projects once he has gained enough publicity and proved his box office capability.

She is a good actress and fit the role as ML's sister pretty well. Knew her from the film 'Innocent Witness' that won she several film awards and nominations. Likely Lee Junho will take this project as long as it is a new genre to him. The settings looks okay given it is a Netflix original produced by SLL and directed by Lee Chang-min (Waikiki and Agency), well probably need to know the script writer info tho.

Watched first 2 episodes, love the cinematography and music. Namkoong Min's acting was on point, too early to comment the plot and leads' chemistry tho.

Continue to watch latter episodes, there are some good narratives about future business plans and employee value. But i agree that the transition (regarding the biz side) didn't do so well from 1st to 2nd half of the story.

i like this aspect of the show too. some people said the business mgt plot in this drama had no substance i bet to differ. Guwon had launched several new initiatives to turn around a traditional family business. Like he suggested offering management services to overseas hotels rather than cost saving, he opt for small hotels instead of big chains when entering overseas market. All those initiatives are strategic and applicable in reality indeed. And out of all those the core is employees who are in the front line of realizing the plan.

haha i bet the show is very profitable given all the product placements and sponsorship from Thailand tourist authority (ep10). The whole show is very commercial driven anyways.

same. ep10 is just a filler and i almost dropped the show. But ep11/12 got me back and just finished the final EP. Overall I enjoyed ep1-8 which is fun and entertaining (except the boring Arab prince plot). Feel pity that the writer didn't do a good transition of storyline to 2nd half and lost the focus, ep10 is a disaster and got backslash from local viewers. There are some good part in ep11-16 tho and last 3 episodes are quite intense and i like it.

yes many issues related to side characters didn't get resolved at the end. Its kinda like the main couple was living in a fantasy world where their issues and conflicts were non existed whilst side characters were living in reality. I got that the writer might want to depict flip side of work life thru side characters but those aspects were not properly connected to the main plot.

imo fine to keep Arab prince plot as it gave a push to main couple's relationship but gotta make it more entertaining now is kinda boring. Thailand plot - either remove it or cut it to 30 mins max. The main couple should have started the quest together for resolving ML's family and mother issues earlier but the writer overly focused on dating scenes in prev few eps.

The ML character maybe lack of depth as compared to previous roles that Lee junho has taken, but the show itself is a commercial success both domestic and global and it helps him rise to global stardom. From this pov, can understand why he has accepted this project, and most importantly even people have mixed review about the show but in general people praise his performance like you do.

Fairly speaking, Yoona's comedic acting is quite good here and her chemistry with ML in general is beyond my expectation. But the FL character itself lacks development thru out the show, like we suppose to see her transformation from fake to sincere smile but this part didn't elaborate, and her chemistry with people around her such as her friend, grandama etc wasn't as good as with ML.

Much better if they combined 9 and 10 to one episode, the plot will be tighter and more engaging.

yes it seems a big problem on how they do the edits. Like quite often one scene talks about the main lead and then next minute suddenly switch to FL's friends without connection.

Every drama including romcom should have plots, but just for romcom we don't expect very complex plot and twists like crime/ thriller series but still need a plot. KTL does have a main plot, the romance development of main couple is the plot, personal transformation of Guwon is a plot. But in few episodes e.g ep10 is totally plotless without progress and thats the thing people complaint.
