It's so sad to realize that Japanese dramas only have averagely 10~12 episodes and they only air once a week. We probably won't get full subs until September...
Just finished the first episode, amazing pilot!!! I haven't seen Oguri Shun since 2012 because I rarely watch J-dramas, and this is a perfect reunion. He never ceases to amaze. Edit: After that I binged until episode 7 in one night. It's so compact. I could've finished the whole thing if subs were out.
This is one of those super short web dramas (3-4 minutes per episode) produced by young film school graduates. Their videos became an issue in Korea because a lot of quotes and issues addressed in the series are very relatable especially to viewers in their 20s (but I think only episode 1 had some good stuff and other episodes are just like music videos with a normal love-breakup plot). The lead actress is pretty and became an "ulzzang" or a popular figure on the internet, and they used many famous underground rappers as cameos.
Obviously the production team and the musicians are friends and they seemed to have produced this series to promote the music. The producers previously run a page called "너만 들려주는 음악 (4UMUZIK)" which cannot be found anymore. They may have closed down or changed to another name. The page was originally a creative contents page which worked together with many underground/independent music artists.
Cast & Cameo:
- Lee Sol Yi 이솔이 (Lee Soo Jung)
- Jung Cheon Seok 정천석 (Lee Soo Jung's boyfriend)

Love this (almost irrelevant) quote from episode 1: "People in this country like to stick their noses into other people's business. If someone's different from their standard, they'll look at that person in a strange way. They don't even realize that it's rude."
- LET THE POOR GUY EAT HIS MEAL MY GOSH
- I'm like TT? Just like TT? Prosecutor, who is your bias? XD
- I swear Han Yeojin is Hwang Shimok's number 1 fan (me too, girl. me too)
- Shimok's obsession with rice soups and side dishes XD
- Whenever they mention the Police Chief Kim Woogyun, subs be like "CHIEF KIM"
- HE SMILED. HE SMILED, GUYS. And he looks like a stoner lol ♡
Yoo min kyu in cast wrong .. not the young guy but the old guy who has the same name
Seems correct though. This young Yoo Min Kyu was on the news for joining the cast. His character probably hasn't shown up in the drama yet. There isn't an older Yoo Min Kyu either :)
My feels are real. Who cried a river? Me cried an ocean dehydration is killing me. When things calm down they always find another thing for me to cry over. I'm like TT. Just like TT.
