This is so detailed and informative - thank you so much for explaining it to me. I have always wondered that why did the lip-sync seemed a bit off. Not for all but you are right I have observed this mainly in historical dramas that I attempted to watch. In fact, maybe this was one of the reasons, that I have not been able to get into C-dramas like I hoard K and J-dramas. Like my eyes just went there and noticed, what could have simply been ignored - but just got added to the whole list of flying people and fight scenes.

But things have changed - I am finally watching: Legend of Zang Hai, so far its good (4-5 eps). Hopefully now that I know what is happening in the background as you explained I will keep a tolerant mindset and fully immerse in world of C-dramas, it is long time due.

Again many thanks for explaining - I have to watch MLC - especially as I had been looking to get into Cheng Yi's works.

will watch it soon then!

12 animals reminded me of 12 signs of Chinese Zodiac Animals = Fruits Basket.
What the Co-relation! 😅😅😅 Anyways with such a strong cast am excited for this!!

Oh I mean in comparison - like with usual cardboard/fish kisses that we have in Asian dramas, theirs was more action and hence hot kiss even if it is was one. Also - when this drama was airing and that kiss came out - everyone was going crazy about it on social media.

But I found the main lead's chemistry lacking inspite of that and hence I wrote it as a negative point that "Lead Pair Chemistry was Lacking (yes, even with all the hot kisses)"

Maybe writers are dog-lovers? 😅🥹

This drama reminds me so much about Boys over Flowers - F4 Boys.
There is a rich guy/poor girl, another guy yearning for the senior, and another matching with the best friend and the fourth being overall goofy 🥹

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

That is also good. though I don't mind if they pick the good elements from the movie. But yeah overall excited to see how it pans out

Great, I will take a break - have been watching too many airing dramas b2b.
Till that time more episodes will air for this one and then I can watch many at one go to avoid any kind of slow-pace

Thanks for sharing your views - helps!

Great - thanks for answering!

Mine is also similar
It had a great start - did not live up to it.

There is another animal/pet - Hae Sook's cat, Sonya. Which means other pets are also there, but they have focused more on dogs and cat. But yes, initially I loved the comedy and then the emotional aspect that pet/pet parents had but yes, it became draggy.

In fact a lot of points in the drama have been great when done initially - but then used again and again, and it became a little draggy. Unfortunate for a drama with such a great start and middle part.

I mean you might have already guessed why the chemistry is fire of Hae-Sook and Pastor, the bickering and the time they spend together cooking and eating makes it obvious. But yeah watch more episodes and it will reveal why.

Thanks a lot, it helps. I am going into this drama given the premise and yes, the hero looks 😍

Got it - thanks a lot. Given this is 40 eps, and still airing and the fact that I am usually not into c-dramas, I wanted to confirm before starting it.

"Oh, and bonus points: he dubbed himself this time!"
I am relatively new to C-dramas, and am curious about this statement? Does it mean that the actors usually don't dub themselves? Like what is this concept - if anyone can explain?

I find some c-dramas, where the audio does seem slightly off to the artist speaking it. Is it cause the dubbing and action are filmed separately?

Hello - I want to start this drama, but I see some parent story and spin-offs mentioned. Is it mandatory to watch the parent stories to understand this drama? Like will I be lost in this drama, if I don't watch them, or okay to ignore?

UPDATE: I got the answer that it is not mandatory to watch. Thanks all for answering!

I really hope so - like I was so bummed out. I was not agree but rather sad that the cast of that movie did not deserve such a weak plot. Even I am looking forward to this being a series and given the new direction, really looking to see how the same premise could have a different and hopefully better result!

So I came to know of this show because of the appearance made by the main leads of Pump Up the Healthy Love - Lee Jun Young and Jung Eun Ji. And of course, I admire - Park Bo Gum, so I watched that episode and plan to watch more, provided I get access to them.

Came on the MDL page as I saw this was Season 7, so wanted to know how it all started and who were the other hosts. Surprised but not really - to get to know that Season 1 was hosted by Jay Park.

And now am curious - given Jay Park is not only an amazing artist, he is a great businessman in the entertainment industry. Like he really is smart to have had so many diverse ventures - and therefore does anybody know if this SEASON Series was his brainchild or someone else?

This is just me being curious - I find K-variety shows to be brilliant, conceptually - they are so many and yet so diverse, that it blows my mind everytime on how creative they can be. This show is one of them and hence my long-winded question since I could not find the answer online....

If they are remaking the original movie - then that's good cause it was needed for sure. I had been waiting for a long time before I could finally find the movie and watch it. My expectation were all time high given it was JCW + action theme. But oh boy, how disappointed I was. I was sad to the point to call it one of the worse projects of JCW's career.

So if it is a remake of the original plot - I hope they do it better this time, as along with JCW - I see a lot of other great artists in the case, so expecting some kind of redemption from the previous disaster that the previous work was. #fingers-crossed

Could be - but that is the thing - we are second guessing and making assumptions, and hoping that yeah, this may have been the reason. This is what I did not like with the final reveal - it is fitting everything in the story, but still not 100% convincing.

Like this thing with Young -Ae, as well as the previous memory we saw Nak Joon was clearly drowning Som-i. And then the whole thing why could they not recognize Hae-Sook in her youth and had to play this card of being oblivious.
