Some objectivity is required, Archive of Our Own reveals which series have an actual fanbase.

what a lovely pic! I guess it depends what we've seen earlier - many just feel feel better with romcoms after being through hard times (am watching Marriage Not Dating and loving it). Junho will have many other roles after this chaebol one.

Yes, I think the writer has read our comments that we want SPY and LSE have a happy ending and now she's giving it but ruining it. The drama is so crazy and random now, what a disappointment

They were concerned. And Ban wanted the kids to be present on the wedding night. Maybe we'll never get answers though. Ban did say he never could stand anyone touching him. But I doubt that the secret will be revealed. Nothing makes sense.

The wedding night being spent on removing earwax was weird and gross beyond belief. Jeon Soo Kyung and Moon Sung Ho can barely hide their discomfort. I really feel for them. Now I understand the writer is just laughing at our faces.

Just wondering, how can you say "don't produce it" when it really is loved by thousands of people, all over the world? Are you the only person who's feelings/opinions matter?

agreed

I realized that there are many more frenemies k-dramas (from enemies to friends and vice versa) like My Country or Bad Guys than male friendship k-dramas.

Prison Playbook is really good if you haven't watched it. Record of Youth is strong on this aspect.

It's bc they left Russia. I'd gladly pay much more. Stock value is largely imaginary. I know not many people are on Netflix yet but I don't expect that those who are will ever return to domestic media. Netflix knows the amount of watchers but does not tell.

I really liked that film!

Once again I found the MDL rating was pretty accurate. I agree with the previous comments and only add that the politics parts were extremely boring. I was skipping most of the last 10 (!) episodes. Sukkie is such a delightful actor, he's untouched by the mess that the drama turns out to be. Just continuing to do his thing light-heartedly and not despairing at any point (this is a compliment!). Kang Sora is always very good, really. And Park Hae Jin always shines when portraying ambivalent characters. I made it to the end because of them.

People watching Arthdal Chronicles on Netflix don't know or care that Koreans preferred the cringefest that was Kang Ha Neul as a country bumpkin.

People from all over world watch it on Netflix. It doesn't even have to be aired in domestic tv.

Low rating during airing in Korea doesn't matter these days. I don't get why the domestic rating is still considered important. People from all over the world watch it in Netflix and it's one that has prob one of the most engaged fanbases.

Domestic ratings are not important, people watch it in Netflix.

Am sure it's going to be pretty epic. The writers had a multiseasons drama already outlined, that much was very clear from the first season already. We're sad about the delay, but there's a huge fanbase for this series and am more than happy to get to finally see new seasons. The replacements are very good. Lee Joon Gi will be able to pull the Saya part with flying colours. It's a very difficult role. I also love Shin Se Kyung, she never disappoints. Another perfect choice, hope she agrees. It was clear that SJK wouldn't continue. But am happy see that people are finally giving credit now to his out-of-this-world acting as Eunseom/Saya, it will forever remain a grand role. I hope that the Taelha actress returns along with Jang Dong Gun, they were both fantastic in their roles. And that the last of the Neanthals storyline will not be dropped, it's sad but beautiful and metaphoric.

Kwak Dong Yeon has risen to main roles (3 ongoing). I know that Junho has chosen wisely like he always has. I don't know how people are supposed to measure popularity but Im Siwan is very popular, respected and successful and will continue to be.
