By Player, I meant this one; https://kisskh.at/28659-pan
As for Inspector Koo, it really depends. Some people liked it, some didn't. You can still try it out and see if you like the first few episodes and see if it's worth your time or not^^
About other dramas similar to the upper ones you mentioned, I can also think of D-Day and Partners for Justice (I'm currently watching it and it's really fun)

Oh wow ahahaha, what about The Player, Tell me what you saw or Inspector Koo?

Have you seen Mr. Sunshine? It's historical but it involved romance and lots of guns and action. I loved that one.
Also A Shop for Killers recently finished airing. It had lots of action and was pretty good.
Others I can think of are; Vincenzo, Taxi Driver, D.P, Mad Dog, Healer, Military Prosecutor Doberman, Sisyphus: The Myth ,The Worst of Evil, Weak Hero Class 1, Bloodhounds.
I loved all of the above^^

Flex x Cop recently finished airing, it was so enjoyable imo and it got renewed for season 2!
Also check out Moving (fantasy, action) , My Name (action, revenge) , Kill it (action), Happiness (zombies, action, bit of romance^^)

Chocolate and When the Camellia Blooms^^

No problem^^

From what I read on soompi; Seo Hyun Jin didn't even recieve an offer to be in Dr Romantic 2 (she was also discussing her appearance in ‘Black Dog’ as her next production), neither did Yoo Yeon Seok ( they only discussed the possibility of his appearance).
Plus, I'm assuming different schedules and stuff.
So even third season came, and the cast remained the same as in season 2 without the og cast from season 1 besides doctor Kim.

if there's one thing about jang na ra, you know damn well she eats up every role of hers
can't wait!

Don't worry and stress much, I know it's easier said than done but you genuinely matter as a human.
Everyone's path is different so remember; comparison is a thief of joy. I'm sure you've been through many ups and downs yet here you are!
We're all young and we're all learning how to live so don't be too harsh on yourself.
Everything will fall into place and turn out so much better than you hoped for. You'll probably look back later on and wonder why you worried so much; so I wish you lots of luck on your medical entrance exam, study well and stay healthy<333

I don't think anyone can have a full answer to that, so it depends on the the PD, program and the show. But most are scripted to some extent.
I'm not saying they have a dialogue/script the cast has to fully follow- most of the time the only thing that they scripted is the situations / setup.
A producer can walk in and tell everybody what he/she wants to see on camera. There are a few kdramas that also show this type of work.
For example, say they want to have some drama since the show is too peaceful or relaxed. Plus the contestants' line and schedule of work has to meet the filming requirements, hence why they tend to cast those with flexible career/job schedules, like models for an example.
So for the majority of the time, you can be sure that it's mainly just models looking for exposure or people trying to break into the entertainment industry or just fame-seeking (which is fine imo but I do find it sad that the cast can get hate on their social media for no reason)

I'll forever be for freedom of speech and opinion but everytime I see the amount of such bad and atrocious comments on the contestants' social media accounts, I always realise how weird some dating show fans are- like it's genuinely not that deep and will never be that deep.
Some people take it too far without realising that most of these shows are scripted man, like relax

literally, some comments here go up to a year ago lmao i wonder when it'll release >:c

Chocolate, I feel like a lot of people don't talk about this drama and it genuinely is one of my favorites from that type of genre, so I highly recommend to check it out and see if you like it!!^^
Also a few other recommendations; When the weather is fine, Lost, Where stars land, Our blues, Angel's last mission: Love (it has fantasy in it tho), Heart to heart

If you mean for Jin Ho Gae who is played by Kim Rae Won.
Nicknamed “jindo dog” after one of South Korea’s domestic breeds, the Jindo dog is known for its hunting abilities; Jin Ho Gae never lets up once he gets on any criminal’s tail.

Which is totally understandable, btw! However one fans preference isn't gonna change his path in career.
He does what he thinks suits him the best and that's what makes the actors and actresses unique, hence they do a good job in doing what they love.

You want him to retire or something? That's quite a sad thought process of yours - idk go touch grass

45 is barely old in their industry; Ahn Eun Jin is a grown and an adult woman who gets to choose who she is gonna act with. They did a great job in the drama and their love story was lovely, nothing ew in that.
So many age gaps with drama couples, this one barely takes the cookie lol

I feel like they did that one girl dirty because her secret was the most serious of them all however I'd love a second season ngl

Oh no problem, will doo!! <3

I hope we see Jung Yoo Min in more projects from now on, especially with a main role! She was amazing
