Doesn't Yuk Jun Seo's look on this show feel similar to Jerry Yan (Meteor Rain): https://pin.it/YObLR1BYD ?

I hope so! It is always gratifying when people who have worked hard get the recognition. A recent one would be Byeon Woo Seok.

Similarly I made this comment cause I have seen/followed LJY since his idol days, to acting - and I feel he deserved good projects like this one to make his talent shine!

So yeah, lets see :)

Where can I watch this? (Not available on VIKI in my region :(

I have not started this drama - but is there any reference to the song "Hotel California" in any episodes so far? Would be very cool if the song plays in background in some scene...

Oh 365 was such a great drama - and he was so so good. And Stranger was such a good one, and while watching it loved his character though it was minor. So it was a pleasant surprise that his character got its own spin off series - I am yet to watch it, but am sure more of him will never hurt ;)

But for now I just started Love Scout - and am sure even you are watching.But I'll recommend City Hunter, Designated Survivor, Vigilante and some of his dramas where while he is in support role - they are roles with a strong impact.

I just started watching Love Scout - hahaa, couldn't take waiting anymore. And yes it is only Ep 1 and too early to form any opinion about the drama - but I like how it is not too sweet, but they are butting heads and I can see that there will be moments of care/respect that will come before love does.

I am waiting for this week's episodes to air and then start. I am using all my will power to wait - and comments here are making me fangirl hard and testing that will power.

I love the actor - from seeing him as the police guy in City Hunter first to multiple projects as the support character/SML and then finally as ML in 365 Days = every role of his makes me love him more and more for his talent and ofc his looks! I really hope he gets more projects this year and more - for us all to enjoy!

As for the FL - my first and only drama of hers has been "Familiar Wife". I got into it cause of Ji Sung but she held her own and I knew how amazing she is. Excited to see her here.

And your comment - I understand and relate to completely. While I do love dramas where leads adore each other and fall head over heels - I think over time as I have grown up too - I like dramas like this which portray a mature love story - like admiration growing into love. Therefore I am super excited to start this show and thanks for your comment :)

Yes, though I didn't mean that LJY be made the main lead here. I meant in general, being stuck in support and SML roles and which is why I hope to see him in more leading roles.

While I have seen CWS in movies only till date - I think all are aware of how good he is. So am excited for this new project and my first drama of his.

Do read this - it is not subjective:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/idiot

The terms idiot, imbecile, moron, and their derivatives were formerly used as technical descriptors in medical, educational, and regulatory contexts. These uses were broadly rejected by the close of the 20th century and are now considered offensive.

But anyways - I got my answer that you used it with intention and are fully aware of the meaning and its offensive nature.

You claim that you use words carefully, as they have an impact. So I want to ask did you intentionally/purposely use an offensive word when writing these comments?

Ep 35 - I half expected/wanted Ji Seok to puke on Se Young at the start of episode. XD

"I dissect words because words mean things. I try to choose my own with care" - do you? walk the talk cause given the way you're writing does not indicate so. There are better ways to disagree with someone without calling them derogatory terms.

Yes, if it is given beforehand it is definitely something you can avoid or delay untill all seasons are out.

But then there are times when series get cancelled, or there are some aspects that hint at seond season but you don't know (for ex: one of my fav dramas - Move to Heaven - it is complete, but then what was that ending)

I have seen him in student roles in Weak Class Hero and Twinkling Watermelon, therefore I was slightly taken aback and loving the refreshing new look he will have as the CEO. While I am just seeing it in pictures and reading about him being a CEO and it is a slight disconnect from how I have seen him previously but I know he'll pull it off given his talent is palapable as he showases a range of expressions/vibes in the previous dramas.

Also it has one of my favorite girl - the talented and beautiful actress: Moon Ga Young, so I know this would definitely be a fun watch - can't wait! ❤️

Absolutely agree with your point - on how dramas are getting shorter.
In fact, one of the major reasons for me to gravitate towards Asian dramas was the fact that they had one season, short episodes formula in comparison to western shows.

But then while I like how they are getting shorter - there are some exceptions. Sometimes OTT platforms play our heart/antiipation and give us short but multiple seasons, or give an open ending to keep a road open for future sequels. Personally it irks me a little bit cause it defeats the whole meaning and reason why I came to K-dramas in the first place.

Still, can't stop them - they also need to make moniesss

It has my favorite - Park Bo Young, so am going to watch it no matter what. I have not seen Our Beloved Summer, but see a lot of comments saying it is giving similar vibes - so that would be interesting, maybe this show will lead me to the other.

One thing tho - why is my man, Lee Jun Young, as a SML? Why oh Why? 😂
This guy needs more main roles - but still am always happy to see him, in whatever shape/form/role - so excited for this drama!

Still halfway through - but wanted to commend how nicely the creators have added in time stamps to differentiate the timeline as well as the cinematorgraphy: the different timelines have different tones, warm and cold as well.

This drama had been in my watchlist for very very long, and I have always also come across your review and upvoted it cause it was short and covered all points without giving anything away.

I really loved how you mentioned it is a reminder of World of Married + Signal, which are 2 of my favorite shows. In fact this kind of acted like a hint + the mention of "gaslighting" under themes in the MDL detail page. So as soon as the wife "apparently" jumped from the bridge and yet no one's body was found - I immediately knew that the wife is definitely one of the manipulators and Da Bin and she are alive. Poor Sung Rok's character!

I'm still watching it (on Ep 8) but thought to comment here and commend your review. Not sure if you'll read it cause it has been quite long since your posted your review.

No - cause I know you are very eager to jump and give clarification about everything yet fail to understand how your own words can impact other users on MDL. Was highlighting that but as before, you choose to see only what you like :)

This had been on my list for very long, and I am currently watching it. What prompted me to watch was my own interest for these themes of time-travel/mystery thriller/gaslighting etc + a short to the point review where it mentioned the drama being a mix of two of my fav dramas, World of the Married + Signal (Read here: https://kisskh.at/profile/adamrahimi02/review/110035)

Therefore if you like such themes, or have seen the other dramas - you can definitely give it a try. While I am still mid-way in the show: the acting, suspense, pace and story is really great! Hope it helps :)
