The writing for the first season was absolutely garbage and yet many many people didn't notice. Many people are…
Yeah. I'm just too stupid to know this sucks. I'm one of those idiots who is appreciative & happy all the time. I go about my days completely unaware of how life continually disappoints until it ends in a catastrophe. I'll probably die happy!
I’m not very familiar with actor Ko Kyung Pyo either, but I totally get what you mean! It’s really sad to…
He had a couple of early hits a decade ago—check out Chicago Typewriter and (especially) Strongest Deliveryman—which is why it is so frustrating for me when I see him flail around in his lead role here, and also recently in 'Frankly Speaking'.
And how’d he become prince, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society. Joseon demons lying in ponds, distributing swords is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! We're being oppressed!
My mistake—She has two projects which will be released this year. I missed them (above) because of the order of projects listed. We can look forward to her return in Cabbage Your Life & Our Universe.
It reminds me of that classic Prog-rock song from the '90's:
🎶 "Our love it can be a virtual reality. Our love can go far if we can just forget the truth of what we are!" "Noooo! Not that again. Computer, delete universe!" 🤣😂
This show has a delicious slow burn. I expect to give it a high rating. I find the approach to navigating a new relationship refreshing, and am looking forward to the conclusion.
I thought Kim Soo Hyun was supposed to be the new owner - was looking forward to that. Still, I like Lee Do Hyun…
I think he's still having a time out—reportedly with plenty of bedrest and antidepressants as a result of his ongoing scandal regarding the late Kim Sae Ron. But rumors are swirling that Disney may dust off Knock Off for a 2026 release. (Whether KO S2 resumes production is another question entirely.)
There is an old American comedy 'Defending Your Life' with a scene where a super-high-IQ person is eating a tiny lump of meat which looks like feces but he enjoys it thoroughly as though it was delicious. The normal guy—who is feasting on pancakes, bacon & eggs—wants to try it but is informed that to normal people who only use a tiny portion of their brains it tastes like $#!t and only geniuses can enjoy it. The normal guy tries it and this turns out to be true.
I guess I only have a little brain. This presumably arthouse masterpiece "tastes like crap" to me. I wish the Hong Sisters could write stories for normal people again. I used to enjoy their stuff. Mostly.
Once again the 12 ep romance curse, im calling it. not too say there aren't great 12 episode dramas but this one…
I don't disagree about the 12 ep curse, but I scanned my watchlist and found one exception which I really enjoyed—and it happens to be another gumiho tale.
IMO, Tale of the Nine-Tailed: 1938 did an excellent job maximizing its 12-episode run. Granted, that series benefited from already established characters (from its prequel TotNT, which btw had 16 eps). I enjoyed watching this series, but it does seem quite pale in comparison. I concur with others who have suggested that talented writers might be a greater factor to effecting quality than episode length.
Every time I look at actor Go Kyung Pyo, I can't help but notice his facial resemblance to famed KBL first baseman Lee Dae Ho. I think someone should write a biopic of the celebrated athlete and cast this man as his younger self.

His career is continuing? What'd I miss? I assume he is still chugging fistfuls of antidepressants in his cousin/brother's…
Please do post a link if it contains comprehensive details & dates regarding this controversy. That timeline doesn't seem to me to be riddled with editorial opinions, and I ignore the social media comments often included at the end of their articles. Anyway, it's nice to have a one-stop comprehensive source. After a year, it's easy (for me) to forget details (or mix up the timing of events, etc.)

Nice to see there's a 'Bill the Cat' fan in the writer's room!

Now I want to go rewatch TotNT & TotNT:1938!
