Chose this for Park Sung Woong. He's such a thrilling actor. This one's wholly relying on him. We're wondering always what's going on inside his head. Whether he's going to be funny or scary next. He's a magnet for holding the audience's attention even when not doing much talking. I recommend this to anyone who likes his acting.

What a great actor.

What's the platform you're using since most of us need tv and other devices to watch a drama. Clairvoyance? Tarot cards? Premonition? Am definitely gonna watch.

Please do! Good for you!

You figure 120 dramas is too much, you go do something else.

Totally agree. There are other things than plot, there's cinematoraphy, directing, script, dialogue, music, pacing, costumes, interiors, design.....and if people don't observe or see these things, why do they bother to be self-appointed critics hahahahahaha. It's really so funny! Park Min Young is the queen of chemistry and Song Kang was great in Love Alarm, we could really feel his pain. Very much looking forward to the drama!

K-drama is one big joy we have amongst the lockdowns. Music is another but when it comes to music, people don't go watching bands that they don't like. They don't comment on websites of bands that they don't like. It's clear to everybody that taste and identity are intertwined and taste is a precious personal thing. So we don't want to give bad feelings to other people by telling them how poor their taste is. Negativity is something I didn't expect to see here, since Netflix for instance has genre codes for more than 1000 genres and people can watch whatever genre they like. Stepping on peoples tastes and feelings is somewhat unnecessary since command and control operations on drama tastes will never have any other effect than diminishing other people's joy of sharing.

It's endlessly amusing, isn't it? Howcome they don't watch something else instead? It isn't as if this was the only drama produced this year. Are these people tied to their chairs, in prison or in the army where they can't choose? I think this negativity and the target for it have something to do with other things in their life, not this drama or any other drama.

Tomorrow

So many haters before the drama has even started..... LOL

It is not the perfect drama (if such things exist). I am growing very fond of the cinematography in particular, the slow pace and the loveliness of the characters. I just wanna have a workroom like Ung's! I feel at ease and at peace with this drama and I think this may so with many and explain its success. There's a lot of free-floating anxiety around, these are pretty dark times we're living at the moment. What I didn't like about the drama are the continuous flashbacks. The actress playing NJ is excellent, and she's only 20. I think we'll see a lot of her in the future. All of this is just my viewpoint (pls don't feel the need to attack).

Series like All of Us Are Dead and Hellbound tend to have a short peak at the top. Series like King's Affection, Hometown Cha Cha Cha and Our Beloved Summer stay in the top 10 or top 20 for a longer time. They are steady sellers. This is Netflix own data, the article was published in KoreaJongAngDaily not so long ago. I welcome k-drama world domination wholeheartedly, its supreme compared to what else is out there.

Agreed. There goes ItsJr, blocked.

the direction where they are taking k-drama seem to be: more explicit sex, more shock effects, less depth in characters. The licensing model (showing domestically produced k-dramas in Netflix) works wonderfully for me. I just really value the k-drama exceptional qualities which might get lost in Netflix productions. *Might.* I don't know whether the offering of licenced domestically produced k-dramas will be lessened in Netflix, due to the success of Netflix produced k-dramas which mainly are reaching younger audiences. We'll see. Opinions will definitely differ according to whether zombies and gore are fave genres, or everyday life/workplace kdramas and politics/society themes. I just prefer dramas like Chocolate, Once Again, Misaeng and Good Manager to dramas like Sweet Home and Hellbound. I hope we still get both kinds.

I was definitely liking the way this was done and drawn to it. However, in the middle it got too depressing for me and I had to drop it. Also, I agree that it seemed very odd and illogical that he had a chance to become a baseball professional given his huge problems both in the field and at school. Maybe I'll try to finish it some day. Not a watch for a relaxing Sunday evening.

The first episodes are their lowest point. This is a very warmhearted, healing drama. All the characters grow slowly. They begin to see their mistakes. I really like it, so comforting to stick around with the characters for a longer time. No wonder it was very popular when it first aired. I did wonder during the first episodes if it would stay depressing (not needing that right now) but it's not at all like that.

A lot of people watch but don't see. Or they are possessed by an evil demon whenever their hands touch the keyboard.

Drama specials are so good to watch when full lenght dramas start to drag and haven't decided what to watch next. I really liked this one, it's light and optimistic. The leads are very good. 8.5.
