I'm poking fun at Netflix whose founder and employees have long been accused of promoting regressive values, producing dark & ominous entertainment, and generally lowering the vibrations of those who watch much (not all) of its programming, making their souls vulnerable & ripe for harvest by the lord of the dark, hoary netherworld.
I want to extend a hearty "Thank You" to all of the beta-testers who bravely weathered Netflix' demonic propaganda and came back to warn any live-bodied soul-retaining fans of K-Dramas such as myself that this production is not so much entertainment but a recruitment video for those who wish to have a personal relationship with MY DEMON in their next lifetimes, in hell.
The synopsis sounds so absurd… and I love it! I am very much looking forward to watching this one. I haven't seen Kim Young Kwang since 'Hello? Me!' (which is one of my guilty pleasure frequent rewatch dramas.)
In his next drama, 'I Believe You', Lee Chae Min plays "an iljin character… who has no ability to empathize with sadness and pain, and he harasses … a friend of the same age as him."
I keep replaying the scene in my head where the inventor guy play as a hero 🦸 & bombed them bodyguards.…
I would love an entire series about this guy — along with his great uncle, the actual historical water clock guy. (Aside, ISTR the water clock guy appearing in another K-Drama, but I forget which? 🤔) I expect there should be interest to watch a proper Joseon Steampunk!
Not first and not last person leaving that rotten company.
Thank you for your thoughtful replies. I also wonder about how GM's situation affects their artists insofar as advertising agencies and brands may be reluctant to engage with the studio as a result of news reports like this one, which features a photograph of a seemingly-abandoned broken down building as a false front for the secret ownership of the agency. I doubt Prada is inclined to make any more deals with such a shoddy & suspicious operation. I also wonder what Subway & Kopiko (etc.) would say about this. So again, it is reasonable to surmise that GMs artists suffer as a result of their agency's mismanagement.

It is not hateful to take note that this agency takes a much larger share of its talent's earnings. This news is important to prospective artists so that they might make good choices when aligning themselves with potential partners and avoiding exploitative contracts. Now that most of GM's talent knows they are getting a worse deal than if they had alternate representation, I expect more of them will make management changes as soon as they are legally free to do so.

I am aware. And GM is continuing to profit from his success (and ongoing into the future as royalties continue to accrue). I do hope the agency will release a fair share of the ongoing revenue stream with the artist. That article claims the agency has been retaining a larger-than-normal percentage of their artists' earnings. KSH is no longer the cash cow he once was. I fear how they exploit their talent in order cover the exorbitant costs associated with multiple damage control teams of very expensive attorneys, fixers, and publicists as a result of their executives' own legal woes.

predictable ending, bcs this drama is just giving almost same ending every time travel drama.
Why are travel dramas, romance dramas, and sports dramas so predictable as if the writers automatically assume people don't want to see ill-fated lovers fail to get together in the end, hardworking underdog athletes lose the championship, or time travelers totally mess up history beyond repair? It's as if there is some unwritten law for writer's which demands that things have to work out in the end! Personally, I blame the studios who are constantly chasing ratings while catering to advertisers.
The only thing being worse than bad quality is being predictable. This drama is both 🤡
As the comment directly above yours explains, predictability really is not the criticism you think it is. There are genres such as love stories which remain eternally popular despite common core predictable elements. Sports dramas is another genre in which predictability is not a deterrent. We want the people to overcome hardships & fall in love just as we want to watch determined underdogs win the championship.
Relatable characters and how the story is told is so much more important to our enjoyment!
ROFL 🤣 Thanks for the chuckle!
Crisis averted. Whew! 😅
