This is true. And I concur with your rant, tbh. Very insightful! Thank you for the thoughtful reply. The cure for depression is IMO to touch grass. Go outside, barefoot, and just be. AIAI (Artificial Intelligence Assisted Imagery) has nothing on IRL, mindfulness. ✌🏼

The technology indeed has really advanced. It is not unreasonable to speculate that AI could replace many or even most IRL productions within a very short timeframe. Small studios may even displace the large behemoths, which have all been struggling—especially Disney!

Just today Disney's CEO announced that they will provide users of Disney+ with the ability to create and share AI-assisted user-generated content (mostly short-form) based on their IP on the D+ platform.

Check out what people are making with Grok Imagine, which is absolutely stunning and continues to see improvements almost on a daily basis:

It's an interesting trend. I very much enjoyed Romantics Anonymous. It surprisingly felt much more like a K-Drama than any other J-Dramas I've seen.

This may be possible in SK, but I think Disney is more likely to wait out KSH's scandal and release it should he be exonerated.

(Aside, FYI FWIW, the practice of face-swapping is prohibited in Hollywood (per Actor's union) and has been since Back to the Future II, when production got tired of actor Crispin Glover and hired a scab to play his character while wearing a rubber mask made from the actor during the filming of the first movie.)

Right. Any romance is peripheral, at best. This is a story of talented young but inexperienced entrepreneurs navigating an historic financial crisis in an attempt to save a business, survive and —hopefully—thrive.

Nope

I assumed it was publicity stunt casting with locally-known actors, but I dunno 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm hooked! Despite the fact that I normally despise love triangles and especially decry overly-contrived setups (the absurd personal connection between the ML and the 2ML childhood friends). But the execution and the story made me appreciate how much this is worthwhile!

I cannot exaggerate how much I am enjoying this drama. The premise is totally contrived, but the emotionality rings truth and the production is so well executed that I don't mind in the least.

The original Highlander was outstanding. The transitions between modern New York and historic Scotland were amazing, the fighting, the soundtrack (Queen). Yeah, none of the other films were worth the time to watch. The TV show was watchable, but also kinda meh. I have doubts this remake can measure up to the 40 years-old original, but I have to watch it.

"Ramirez!"

"Choo Young Woo did receive the offer to star in the new ENA K-drama and he is positively reviewing the offer."

His character could certainly compete in the paralympics! Last year's winner Gabriel Araujo has short legs and lacks arms, but swims by undulating like a dolphin.

"Threadmill" is a good word to describe the MDL news section. Haha!

"Hiding"?

The article is not a "sewage product" but the headline is.

Don't be obtuse. I had to read the article to correct my understanding, after having been mislead by the headline. I expect that most people reading the headline would infer he was not exonerated. As others have expressed, below, the editor was likely aware of this while crafting the clickbait title.

"Cho Byeong Kyu loses case against person accusing of him of school bullying" reads as 'person accusing Cho Byeong Kyu of school bullying wins case'.

Another example of Reason 2 (The main lead is boring) was Run-On. IMO both the main leads were boring, while the 2nd leads were smoking.

I saw a post suggesting that if Disney writes off the expense of this show as a loss on their taxes that they would be prohibited from ever releasing it in the future. OTOH, if they don't write off the costs this year then this implies a possibility of a future release. Can Disney afford to eat the loss while all of their businesses (Studio, D+, theme parks) are hurting?

While Sony originated in Japan—and the parent company indeed still is in Japan—Sony Pictures Studios (Hollywood) was first incorporated in the United States of America in 1912!

He's her boss. It'd be creepy to start a relationship under that power imbalance. They need to sublimate their feelings of attraction to each other and stick to business.

It just shows how dysfunctional Netflix is, that no one was able to anticipate this and address it during production / translation. This is not the first (or second) time the OTT streamer has been called out for translation deficiencies.
