That's not what she said, at all. I don't like to see the eagerness of throwing mud at EAW, it's so precious. PEB has a difficult role but my work is difficult too. Work is work. She's not a victim of anything or anyone. Don't start a feminist campaign where it's clearly not warranted.

I do realize English may not be your 1st language.

only pseudo intellectuals pretend there's no start and stop button in their remote controller. You have all the world's content at your fingertips in Netflix. K-dramas are not for you. You think winning major awards is just "some credibility"? Hardly.

he chose this one out of the 100 manuscripts he reviewed. LOL. Business Proposal, in 2022. Get your woke ass out to the LBQT+ area. Gained "some" credibility? "Some" popularity? If you can be more even condescending, it'll be a major achievement in misplaced wording.

the competition atm is insane. If You Wish Upon Me, AoS, Woo, Cafe Minamdang, Today's Webtoon (if watching from Viki). The ratings may still rise, but that depends on whether it gets better towards the end. And people who watch after ending will not compare this to those other currently airing dramas (like I do).

Not the best and not the worst is an accurate sum-up imo. The current rating at 8.0. feels right to me.

Yes the drama gets better. I also almost dropped it at 1st ep.

I almost dropped this at 1st episode. Now at 6th, it has kind of grown on me. It's very funny in places. But just weird-meant-to-be-funny in others. I wish they had had more screening and editing from someone more critical before releasing the drama. I feel sorry for SIG when he has to fool around as a shaman - such a waste of talent. But still, the drama is not too bad overall. The main characters' backstories are given (too) slowly. I think it would have made more sense and made this more gripping if they had introduced Nam Han Joon's and Gong Soo Cheol's history in the 1st episode already.

Only the ending at the court is good. Not one of the best drama specials, would not recommend. ML is frustratingly mute.

I like your lists, thanks!

people avoid sadness. it's okay to me.

I wouldn't worry about the rating. Clearly this is not for everyone. Chocolate is similar, a beautiful and sad drama. Also palliative care setting. For me it's one of very best and most memorable k-dramas (watched twice). It's also only 8.1. in MDL.

Ep. 3 already cried during the first 5 minutes.

Chocolate would perhaps be the closest. The female lead there is also traumatized in a shopping mall crash as a kid (prob influenced by the same real life incident). It's a great underrated drama but of course not entirely similar.

I have seen enough gritty and raw crime & detective dramas - this seems to be just one of them (currently at ep. 3). Does it get better/different?

Kim Soo An has a quire a big and very well done role in Reflection of You. Not a drama that everybody loves, masterpiece imo.

I found Along With the Gods boring so didn't finish. On a side note, Kim Soo An is really good in Reflection of You.

if you dropped, it's probably not your thing. we're all different.

The moments where Deok Im makes fun of Yi San by mock compliments are rather priceless. Yi San is vain enough to believe the compliments, intelligent enough to spot he's being laughed at and baffled at Deok Im's complete lack of fear. Deok Im clearly hints that "I'm just playing this role because I'm a servant and you think that's all I am" and Yi San suspects he's being taken for ride but is disbelieving that it can be happening because he's the bloody crown prince after all!
